Well...100+ years of documented study by people who devote their lives to the study of the human brain may have a better idea than just your OWN personal opinion.

the acutal SCIENTIFIC numbers are as follows:

12% consciuos

88% SUBconscious

You do not CONSCOIUSLY use the other 88% because it is being used for bodily functions, memory, digestion and many other factors your consciuos mind cannot handle.

if it did you would forget to breathe.

Now, to think that 88% of your brain is just sitting there wasting space, or has un-lockeable telekenetic abilities is as rash as believing that in the time the theoretical jesus walked the earth,performing healings and miracles, to believe that he did NOT use the MOST COMMON FORM OF MEDICINE IN THE AINCIENT WORLD to heal is as such niave.

Thats like saying modern doctors do not use saline or ibuprofin.

seriously.


Utilize that 12% EFFECTIVELY.
Dude, you miss my point completely.
I was replying to Smudgeyboy - "This is a good point, we use what 10% of our brain? 20% at most?"
Where did he say consciously? Where did I say consciously? I only argued that we don't use 10% of our brains, I never said anything about conscious use. And I know you're right, most of it is unconscious, like all of the reptilian brain just used for heart beat,respiration,keeping chemical levels constant etc... But I wasn't WRONG, we we're both right, you just misunderstood me.
Btw, it's not my own personal opinion, it's the opinion of many psychology text books and my university lecturers.
