We only use 10% of our brain...would 100% use cause it to glow? you know....

I was just thinking. Jesus had a glow about him, perfect in form from birth. 100% brain usage right?

Different energy levels/modes are possible.

Your answer may be found in Richard Bach’s “Illusions: Adventures of a reluctant Messiah.”

On the contrary, here is photograhpic evidence of someone glowing who uses 0% of his brain.

I wonder if the brain can be overclocked. Like a CPU that has been locked, you just remove certain pins or sever certain jumpers and voila! maximum speed! I am wondering a lot today.. sigh. Thank you for giving me imagination God. Thank you.

Well, we know someone who isn’t using even 10% of their brain.

we don’t use 10% of the brain. We use all of it, just not all at the same time.

Higher energy comes at a cost, I would assume.

There was a German agency that recommended parents give their babies sexual massages.

yeah.. maybe our imperfect bodies are not ready for such a capacity. I imagine a perfect body would be needed.. man I am looking at the human body like if it were a Computer System, with the Brain being the CPU.

I have often considered the brain as similar to a CPU multi-processor

some examples that I think prove this:

1) Sit down at a keyboard and navigate with your keyboard and mouse- someone standing behind you simply watching will be able to see and tell you the next click way before you do.

I have experienced this when someone was trying to train me on some new software and the opposite when I was trying to train some one else. When you are doing a single cobscios task (watching) you are less busy then if your brain is watching and controlling the mouse and keyboard.

2) when I was driving my motocycle I thought about turning on my right turn signal with my thumb- but WAIT i wanted to check to see if I had already had it on (i have a bad habit of forgetting to shut it off I am trying to break myself of doing)- but before I could look to see if it was still on, my thumb had pushed the button.

It felt like I had kicked of one process thread, and then that exectuted on its own when I suddenly kicked off another thread but the first one was already running.

As a software engineer writing muloti-threaded programs, it just FEELS like the same thing.

Looks like something that new, controversial show about Jesus on Comedy Central would, also, ask.

I don’t know. But a couple of belts of good single malt puts a glow on everything.

That 10% figure is a popular myth.

It's like saying we only use 10% of our blood.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
