Well I would be really disappointed if your suffix wasn't
a cape
which leaves us with not that many words, so even though it's probably wrong, I'm gonna go with
inscape, which is a philosophical concept related to the divinity of one's individualness (hence the title),
with the prefix
"in" being the privative (and thus, diminishing) "in" as in "insufficient",
and as for the infix..
I dunno, if you go through the National Strength and Conditionning Association, maybe you'll become resilient as a tree and hard as a rock ?

Not sure - could be a math/music reference?
My infix might lie before stone and tree.
This could be scissors (or a form), with stone = rock, and tree = paper (rock, paper, scissors!)

Taking the first and third clues from other replies, and thinking simply for the second, I'd guess:
"S" is what lies before stone and tree, as it's the letter at the beginning of those two words as written. Put together your word is Inscape - sometimes a word for art similar to a landscape of the artist's mind. Which is why you say we ought to be in awe at your brilliance.

Taking the first and third clues from other replies, and thinking simply for the second, I'd guess:
"S" is what lies before stone and tree, as it's the letter at the beginning of those two words as written. Put together your word is Inscape - sometimes a word for art similar to a landscape of the artist's mind. Which is why you say we ought to be in awe at your brilliance.
