The amazing human brain

Believe it or not, I am just now beginning to appreciate the capacity of the human brain.  How many times have we been told over the years - "we only use about 10% of our brain" or something like that.  And you just nod and say, "yeah, I can believe that" and then move on to the next thought ... never really considering what that really means.

Oh sure, you think, "Well, what on earth would we use that other 90% for anyway?"  Maybe we are meant to use it to levitate things or conceive of wild theories of space travel or spiritual healing.  That's just our brain, slacking off.

Yep, our brains are slackers.  That's why we only use a fraction of them.  If we really worked those puppies out like they need to be exercised, you can only imagine the wonderful things, powerful things, that it would be able to do. 

Some of the greatest thinkers of the modern era, including Albert Einstein, studied and theorized about some very interesting and revolutionary things that involve the mind.  I think that we get the impression that scientists just deal with theoretical and science application - you know, splitting atoms and the like.  However, the quantum mechanics have a very relevant relationship with our everyday lives and how we perceive and function in the world.

Like I mentioned before, I am just know beginning to get a glimpse of this truly out-of-the-box thinking.  These kinds of theories and applications are far beyond what we would study in traditional school and in my experience, not a lot of people really consider thinking differently when it comes to self-discipline and achievement.  And most people don't even know about these principles.

I will share more in time.  This topic deserves more than just a 10 minute exercise.  Additionally, I have much more to learn and I would like to actually put into practice what I'm learning in order to give it a real fair assessment before telling others about it.

So more later....
