Why I think our brains are so powerful

[dragonrider]

Well, that opens up a whole new thread of conversation about M Theory, branes, the Drake Equation, Fermi's Paradox, et al.

The new thread can be called "Why I think our branes are so powerful."

We do use all of our brain which is made up of brain cells called neurons in the sense that an electrical signal is passed through each neuron of the few billions that make up our brain every day.

anyone that has gotten completely thrown or taken shrooms or salvia or sum psychedelic drug knows how powerful the mind is. your mind can make u believe or see anything. its like anything is possible when ur trippin. u can understand things more clearly too. Someone on this thread said sumthing bout using only 15% percent of ur mind and i think that is sort of right. u dont use all ur minds potential unless ur trippin on sumthing. IMO i think God wants ppl to do drugs like bud cuz it helps us understand things in the world. When u trip, u seem 2 understand life more and things like that. I aint trying 2 scare ppl off with all this god talk but thats wut i think. maybe it has nuthing 2 do with god?

I witnessed someone who answered a question without them being asked (somewhat like jepardy?)
She thought she was asked to move a ladder to a different spot, in turn she hasent even been asked to do it yet. Upon the time after the ladder was moved they BOTH realized what had happened.

She somehow got the command to move the ladder. It was not by chance or just a good guess. She thought she had received a command or task to move the ladder. She was seconds away from actually asking her to move it. She somehow received this thought right before she was going to ask it? This was one of the first things that boggled my mind and opened it to these events actually being possible. I was only 12 I think :wtf:

This happens with my girlfriend and I. It sounds crazy, but there will be so many times where I will be thinking something and she will say it, or we will be in different rooms and I will be thinking "Man I want some kool aid" and she will eventually bring me the kool aid and say "I knew you wanted this" or something. Maybe its just knowing each other well or maybe its "mind rays" as we call it, but its pretty strange.

In relation to this thread, its my opinion that the mind and everything in it is gone when you die. The ideas of soul, self, ego and everything related is just that - an idea. I don't believe in a supernatural God and I think that like other animals, we are simply here to sustain and progress our species. However, we have evolved a supereme intelligence where we are able to build complex things, compose works of art, and understand the result of our actions before doing them. I think the mind is just programmed to think bigger than it is because of our egos. But I am pretty confident that this is our one shot at life and when we die, its like someone turning off our TV channel, never to be turned on again.




Unless you have a channel on YouTube, then you are immortal.....:jointsmile:

I sometimes sit and ponder the actual idea of ones mind. It's hard to wrap your head around how complexy the himan mind is. I'm taking a Psychology class for college and I love it.

BTW Kotton, your wrong. You use your whole brain. Thats jst a myth that you only use part of it.

No my dear, that is no myth. Perhaps we do use our entire brain but not ever in the ways that are impossible. Or maybe that is just me? Maybe I am not using my brain as best I can? Forget it, you're right.
