I am sure that there are a few non-believers, scoffers like myself, but if you will take a few more minutes to think about this, then you might begin to see things in a different light.

Let's talk about Brain Power. Scientists have said that we used only 10% of our brains, but after previously making this statement to you, I decided that I wanted to know why they said this and how they knew. I don't like making such statements by word of "hearsay" alone. Out of all of you, I am possibly the world's greatest cynic and scoffer at anything that appears supernatural. Well, I scoured book after book and website after website, but could find nothing logical to back this statement up.

So as far as the 10% goes, I am guessing that whoever decided this did so on theory. But from what I did learn, I did find that we do not use the whole of our brains from day to day, at least not from what the scientists could find out in their research. In fact, it seems likely that some use more than others, while some use different areas of the brain than others. This to me sounds more likely than the 10% theory.

The reason I say this is that we have, as the scientists call them, right-brain and left-brain people. Depending on what takes your interest the most, you probably develope that side of your brain before you do the other, if you have the opportunity. In school, our children are pushed so hard to use that logical-side all day long that I think they get an overload of left-brain usage. This is why it takes so much work to get the creative side of your brain to "put out". Lack of attention. Same goes for the workplace, except that adults have all been pre-conditioned by school already.

Most of you have been pre-conditioned by the "world" at large to use mostly your "logical" brain, so you find it unacceptable and unbelieveable that you can do more with your brains than you already have. Your growth has been stilted. And to change this, you have to be able to change your entire outlook, which is hard, if not impossible for most people. Fortunately, for me, I tend to be a "creative" brain thinker (mostly), and although I also have a very powerful "logical" mind that scoffs at everything in sight, I can still open myself up to the possibilities. Well, at least, a little...

Now let's look at another factor to regard in the study of mind or brain control, meaning you controlling your own, by the way. Let's don't get mixed up here, because we are not going to control others in any significant way.

Do most of you know what the term "idiot savant" means? This is when a person that is mentally retarded has one significant talent that he or she can do better than most people that have no special problems. And note, I didn't use the word "normal people" here, because it is not up to me to decide what is normal and what is not. Perhaps this individuals life purpose requires him to be this way, so that others may learn from him.

Now although mentally retarded in most respects, this person may be able to do mathematics that you couldn't figure with a calculator in so short a time. Anybody see " Rainman" with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman? In the movie, Dustin Hoffman, who played the part of a mentally challenged individual, was able to resolve incredible numerical equations in his head in mere seconds. The fact that there are humans who have shown this ability proves that the rest of us are capable of doing the same, if we just have the right tools and learn to use them.

Did you know that there are Tibetan monks that can slow their heart rate to almost nothing, or sit outside in icy weather conditions, unclothed and with wet towels on their backs, and these towels will dry by pure body heat that these monks are exuding. It is said that this is done with their minds and is called Tahumo. Scientists have even tested these men to an extreme degree and found that indeed they put out energy that most humans do not. Think you can match them?

No? But perhaps if you can not match them, you could still possibly learn something about controlling your own bodies through mediation and visualization? Just think about the child prodigys you have seen on Talk Shows etc. lol! If you watch Talk Shows, that is. I know you must have seen one somewhere. I went to school with one. He could do the Math thing so fast that it was absolutely amazing. I used to think it was a trick, but after years, I learned to accept that my friend was a mathematical genius and I was just plain dumb in Math. Poor kid tried his best to help me, but I just had no interest. I think that to do anything properly, you must have an interest first.

Hey now, if they can do it! You can too. Right? Well, get on to it then!! Use your brain power!
