My 2 cents worth... I have been recently researching the net on the concepts of Zen and such... I am amazed at how much the Star Wars Universe models this mindset... (Brian649 made a reference to THE MATRIX; same thing here...) Jedi Masters often advise their padawans to "Let Go." and to "FEEL the Force." Back throughout time it seems many people, considered wise, have all come to the conclusion that to obtain the optimal performance one must "let go" of the willfull (or conscious effort)need to have optimal performance. In the martial arts it is a farily well understood fact (or so I'm told) that you can not consciously fight succesfully 100% of the time... in order to be succesfull it must happen without effort... "Sharpness without effort", automaticlly... somthing can't happen automatically AND be conciously controlled at the SAME time. Consider the Stereogram... using divergent vision, one can (possibly) "see" an image within the image. BUT if when you start to make out the "hidden" image, you then try to conciously FORCE it into focus (ie. you let your eyes focus on the surface.)The image disappears... to see the image correctly, you must "LET GO" and let the image just happen. (how very ZEN). In order to achieve the optimum results one must leave their "comfort zone"... It can be a difficult thing to just let go... and not be in controll... but consider this... what takes more control... to hold a powerfull reign on your self... or to "let go" even though it feels strange and isn't comfortable... utilize that need to control by controling your need to control... =) If any of that makes sense to anyone else please raise your hands now... cause it was pretty much stream of consiousness for me...8) 8)

Brian, Like Gareth, I've been following your posts for several weeks now. Gosh, I have so many questions. Where do I start?  If you had a chance to do your self-improvement all over again, what would you do differently? By the way, I think I found a product you might be interested in. I was looking for wheatgrass juice/powder to no success and found something called "The Ultimate Meal". You can view their website at http://www.ultimatemeal.com [This message has been edited by ScottH (edited July 18, 2001).]

Hey all im trying to make alot of conections this year in computer school. If i could use 10 % of my brain then I would be 4 or 5 times smarter than anyone. Reason is the percentage went down from 3% to a small fraction of that! Lets face it we are all mortals in need of everlasting life. That is why we use that 1 to 10% If we did live longer and were perfect we would use all 100%

Dragging up a 6 month old conversation, Gareth is actually a very common Welsh name. It's MY real name too!

sorry its me again.. what about
"there's always a first time"
or
"what pours into a jug, the rest will pour out" - referring to so much of our brain thats being used
or
"human brains have taken over 2 million years to develop"
or
"its only taken a bacteria about 200 million years to develop into a constantly-regrowing-cells kind of organism that actually thinks for itself"
or
"humans are the only animals on the planet that can actually consider suicide"
or
"green apples are red apples"
or
"a picture is worth a thousand words"
or
"erase the negative side and the balance of full being will collapse"
or
"there's (some) nothing in life not(not true) worth living for"
or
"what more can a man want?" - man knows there's more, so what's the point of this??
or
"what you give is what you get" TRUE in every way. so if you think bad karma is all it is. well, just think of all those barriers you have to argue with to get through. you could go as positively as you can and break through and achieve as much, "humans are a paradox" well I haven't got a lot against that! but it'd be a loooooonnnnng time by the time we can get to the perfect calm, the perfect sense of being who we are, - I'm not saying we haven't, just saying that we haven't been able to grasp and hold it for as long as possible. a lot of people are believed to have reached a "self-actualisation" like mother teresa and all that, but that's just the motely few. and furthermore, psychologists say that you have to reach calm in all levels of your being, how you cook, how you look after yourself, how you socialise, how you communicate, how you help out, how you gain knowledge, how you can get your dreams, how you get to the point of full satisfaction.... so when you say enlightening, even if you achieved it for a time, something always comes a snowballin' and you have to start all over again, but maybe with better knowledge and maybe getting better at it, but you'll never know whether its 'the peak' or 'your best'. I believe that the total realisation of this comes at a certain age when you have had just about anything that you thought you could wish for, and you start to dissipate into the withering prune ready to die cos every one that you truly know are up there.
I've had enough experience with my elders and that's always been the atmosphere. so accept it now you'll be in the pits quicker than you thought possible. it'd explain a lot of questions why so many young people (who have parents, friends, home, having little wrong with their lives other than not to far from being perfect!) are suicidal.
I could go on, and on, and on, but I'd like to know what you're thinking right now before i know what to go on. and besides if there isn't another post, i'll just think it's just another phase in my life where I'm out of sorts. and wanting to get this radical thinking outta my system. miss eggy

The 87% that most don't use, is because they are conditioned by religion to fear the mind.
If they were using 20%, there would be no more disease on this planet. If they were using 100%, there would be no planet.

I discovered something, I think, similar to Ultimate Meal when I was Whole Foods last weekend, in single packets: http://www.gojuvo.com/ quote:

I am curious and have ordered some. Have you tried this product? It looks very interesting. I hope it doesn't taste like dirt.

At any given time we're not using all of our brain, and maybe it is around 10% then, but how often are we performing to our full potential. There are an infinite amount of ways we can use our brains, and each way will use different parts, and higher percentages of our brain.
Thanks to programs like the whole mind system we can make a lot more connections between varying parts of the brain for a lot more efficiency than ever before.
NiJuIchi I believe it's now between "zero %, and 17%"... but for the world's majorities, it be closer to a "0 to 3%"...
I recall the blond haired new neighbor, a dead ringer for Marilyn Munroe at 22... A few days after her parents bought her that house next door, probably to get rid of her, by dumping her on our street... "in our laps"..
I was walking through my yard, when I happened to notice her trying to use a hammer's end of the wooden handle in a desperate attempt to tap down a stubborn protruding nail, in her deck...
I gently corrected her... Her response nearly floored me...
"Oh?? Silly me.. teehee, chuckle chuckle.
I thought the curved metal part was the handle!"
I really didn't know what to say... I smiled polite, as I noticed I had lost some of the feeling in my legs... I turned away, grinned totally ouch, ear to ear,
looked up, and whispered "thankyou"... She's raising a kid yet... who will be eligible to vote, drink booze, drive, carry a loaded gun in the forest, in 15 years, and make babies in his mum's bloodline...
In her case, I'd give her a zero...
"programs, percentages, full potential, infinite ways, different parts..."
Me thinks that be like autopsing the mind... It be like trying to drive a car after you've pulled off the wheels, the gastank, the gas peddle, and the lights... I think we use all the brain... and those percentage estimates are merely degrees in how we access, maintain, and employ the mind... as compared to our 100% potential to be our 101%...
What's happening, is the last generation is further mentally advanced than all previous generations, in their mental abilities only... not necessarily in the smarts, although they are more capable of higher intelligence, and progressively more and more lazy, and more and more dependent upon the media to direct their lives... in every way, but real... The tendency is to grow more synthetic, and forget there is a mind... because we are in an extinction fall, and there's no viable reason to want to use more of the mind, which would only show us that we really are fading into oblivion... by our own hand... our timebomb messes to the planet...
You have the ability to access whatever percent of your full potential as you can...
whether you believe it or not... The secret is to learn to push all your fears aside, so they won't be triggered, while you do that accessing... Plus, should you access too much for your present state of evolution, there is a good chance that you would spontaneously ignite and burn...
If you are to play here, It be advisable to look at as much as you can, but do not touch any of it until you have developed a powerful moral resolve... You might be interested in a couple of the related posts in the "deprogramming" thread, by "cosmicbrat", in "occult forum"... Those posts were/are way too goshawful rough 'n tough to fit in this soft kind gentle-peoples forum...
