The untapped part of the brain

It's widely believed that we only use a portion of our brain, when you consider what the human brain is capable of already, (which is quite staggering,) it makes you wonder just what else we are capable of.
Do you think the brain has evolved over time and that when we were at caveman stage we were using just a tiny portion, and later do you think we began to access and use more as we learned to speak and create things, do you think in the future we will gradually use more and more until we eventually use it all, (Sb inspired this thread with something he wrote in another thread,) what do you think, is there more to be tapped into? Is some of our brain being reserved (for want of a better word) for things to come later that we can't even begin to comprehend at the stage we're at now, just as a caveman would probably die of shock in todays world.

They say we only use ten percent of out brain.. Supposedly they used more ages ago.. In the supposed times of Atlantis, and Lemura. Which is why they were supposedly able to move things with our minds.. We, however, have gotten arrogant, and barbaric, and greedy, and fell farther in our time periods that we've forgotten our true natures, and abilities...

Or so that's what they say.

Thanks for the mention Violet I believe as IL points out we used more in the past. Paganism dates back to cavemen days which means spiritualism does in probably many different ways.
I believe the more 'educated' we have become, the more ignorant we have become because we have allowed authoritism to close us down. Now we deal with numbers, points, digits instead of fully tapping into the energies, spirit world and the source itself.
Look back in time to see the future. Caveman etchings showing Gods, Egyptian Pyramids, hieroglyphics, Gods Goddesses, complete civilization, The Dogon Tribe and Sirius.
Then mankind became 'educated' money, power, corruption.
Now more and more are going back to the old ways and opening up. Using the part of the brain that was stifled, controlled by authoroties.
The future, we may gain the mystic powers of Egypt, the knowledge of the Dogon. We, (mankind) with the use of our unused side of the brain have got so very very far to travel and some amazing, fantastic experiences coming to us over the next few lifetimes.

Before i give my opinion on this, I want to mention a scientific article that I read recently. It was talking, not about evolution, but de-evolution. The main topic was the fact that, as the aeons have passed, our DNA has slowly been deactivating. I don't remember the numbers, but there were tons of genes that have become inactive and have basically self-destructed. Parts of our bodies that served important functions in the past have slowly become almost obsolete.

Now, as far as what I think on this....I believe that we HAVE devolved over time. There are fantastic things that were done thousands of years ago that scientists say that they are unable to do now....or figure out how they were done. We are able to send people to the moon, send ships to mars and out of our solar system, but cannot explain HOW the pyramids were made....or Stonehenge, or....

Have we actually lost the ability to do these things? I think we have merely forgotten how to tap into the hidden recesses of our minds and unlock the vast potentials awaiting us. Once we remember how to channel the 'force' or energy inherent to all things, we will, once again, be able to do what we have forgotten how.

Very interesting responses I hadn't thought of it like that but you can see in many of the kids of today, their brains are turning to mush, sitting in front of comps for school work and leisure, what ever happened to creativity and imagination, play, reading and writing, drawing and painting the very basics of childhood. I can see exactly where you are coming from.

because that would be messy, and we wouldn't want out material possessions to get ruined... Let alone why would we want to sit with the kids for that... we just let them sit and watch tv, while we go off and do our things.

Here's a thought I had.. Can you imagine what things would be like if some of the murders, rapists, etc, were capable of using 90% of their brain instead of ten. If say Hitler had full use of his brain what he may of been able to accomplish..

It's a terrifying thought, and now I see why it is that we do not use all our brains. I think as long as Ego is present will will only be shadows of our true selves.

Innerlight !!!! How am I meant to sleep after a post like that.

Well you're the one who inspired this thread to begin with.

It's just a shame those that ruin things for us.. All our forefathers that created this world, and how we are now reaping what they've sown for us.

Good one IL. Howling with laughter at that. I forgot that bit Hee hee

our forefathers did some terrible things
It could have gone the other way though perhaps if they used more brain they would have done better things

Possibly... But, to me, it wouldn't make sense to have been created that way... I would fathom that we devolved over the years to using only 10%... If you look at all the stories of way back then. They end in disaster, and man being corrupt, and have things destroyed. Lemuria, Atlantis, Garden of Eden, The flood, etc.. All signs of not being capable to handle great power.

Even today you see signs of the corruption that power does to some man.. Keeping us all in the dark ages.

Of course it's been said that we are a very primitive, and young group. It could be possible that we have not evolved our brains fully. Or really had a need to. Everything that evolves in existence evolves out of need. Us using our brains fully may not of been needed.

Power always seems to corrupt man it's only a few who use their power to do some good in the world, it makes you wonder why the brain is so large if we only need a tiny portion of it, it also makes you wonder how much brain animals use

And it's that one or two people that keeps up in the dark ages.. Even this day and age.. Racism, Hate, Greed, Envy, Lust, are still very prominent. And with it present we will not see our full potential as a group.. There may be an exception to every rule.. But I think those exceptions are more in-tune with their spirit bodies, then their physical bodies.

In that aspect we have evolved as we have larger brains than most animals, if not all of them. Our brains are large because they do a lot.. We may only use 10% of the brain but all of it has a purpose to it.

Yes they are, I was discussing this over the weekend, it's quite shocking
