It is said that we will only use an average of 10% of our brain before we die...

It is my opinion, that it is possible...in the unused 90% lies the ability to do things most concider to be impossible....the things which seem so far fetched that they seem like a fantasy and nothing more.

The so called, "super-human powers", telepathy, telekinesis, etcare lying in the untapped resources of our brain...

Biblically speaking, we are told that God does not want us to know all that there is to know, as it would "blow the human mind"...Provived the Bible is truthful, this could explain how Jesus performed miracles...using some sort of deep meditation, he learned how to "breech the barrier", and reach into the unused 90%, and realized that now anything is possible...and anything that actually was not possible, he would just say that we are told not to put God to the test....


I am not saying the Bible is false...I am using it to illustrate the point at hand...

There are alot more details involved in how I came to this conclusion...much to detailed, and long to type into here...quantum physics plays a part as well.
This is a general outline of the conclusion.

I agree that it is that 90% of the brain that we don't use that gives us the abilities of people like Jesus.

If you compare the brain with an iceberg, the conscious part of the brain is the top of the iceberg. The rest is subconscious.
If we could call it up at will, there would be a lot more we could do.

And, I think with practice and time we will be able to access it. Some people can now and have in the past. Perhaps this is what evolution is?

even when its sleeping my brain doesnt stop.

I consider myself blessed for moments of nothingness...whenever they occur

walking across water probably takes serious concentration....

ME, i got to many other active areas in my brain I cant shut off.

I believe that this is, what meditation is about.
Still the conscious mind to be able to access the unconscious.

I agree. You really can't overstate the benefits of meditation. So, why don't I spend more time doing it? Laziness.

10%? I know people that use less than that.

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way....

I agree that there are But I don't believe anyone will ever "find them in the brain", any more than they will find them in the heart or the lungs or the big toe. I don't believe they are "findable" in any physical or material sense at all. I think that the very act of using a materalist paradigm to attempt to describe or manipulate them is self-defeating because their intrinsic nature is not material.

I don't know where they will be found for sure, but I do know that using meditation will help access them. It has for me.

And that is the only criteria that really matters: Does it work?

so true.

I hate to be the guy that pee's in anyone Wheaties but as we learn more about the brain we have discovered that we use the whole brain. That old saying that we use only 10% of our brain is pure mythology presented by early researchers due to a lack of progress. What they should have said was, we only understand how 10% of the brains works . .. then they would have been accurate.


We are making more progress in the last 10 years then we have made in the last 2000 in understanding cognition

Then that would make what Skyhook said as probably true. that these abilities have nothing to do with the brain. Interesting.

Then have him win a million bucks by demonstrating these abilities.

Looking briefly at the site it looks like a man who debunks psychics. And, your statement is a challenge to me to demonstrate my psychic abilities? Am I understanding you?

if in doubt that your brain is being used...try having a pet scan or a MRI...

I dont think psychic abilities are attributed to brain usage.


ie....ive been staring at this glass of water for 20 min...and I cannot make it move.

I saw a thing on the science channel a couple of days ago

they had a monkey on a treadmill. As he walked he got treats. lots of electrodes attached to his brain. The electrical impulses were simultaneously controlling a robot on a treadmill in London

when they turned off the treadmill, the monkey stopped walking but continued to keep the robot walking in order to receive more treats

the implication was for paralyzed people to control limbs and such using brain impulses
