Our brain is an amazing tool. Some
scientific facts assure that we use only 10% of it, but nobody tells for what.
Brain can’t work only in the tenth part of its volume, it would be unnatural.
Why? Because the nature doesn’t like to waste its resources. If something is
absolutely unnecessary the universe just gets rid of that stuff. And this is a
normal current of life and being.
So, what about our brain? I don’t
believe that the only tenth part of all its abilities works on us. In this case
what the other part is engaged in? Here is the answer. Organism functioning and
thinking are two different responsibilities that our brain should perform. The
first thing is a keeping our body alive. If we used our brain only in ten
percent, we would just die when we went to sleep. Our consciousness is
switching off while we get asleep, although even not totally, but it doesn’t
mean the brain is going to sleep as well. Perhaps everybody in his life felt at
least once one strange sense. When being sleeping you suddenly shake up in your
bed and wake up not understanding what is going on. Somebody describes this
feeling like a dream about falling into some deep hole. At that moment of deep
sleep our brain thinks that we’re dying and delivers nervous signals toward our
muscles and organs to bring us to life. Of course we’re not dying at that
moment, but our brain is much smarter than us by the way. It will better check
the system once more, to be sure it’s working by the order, that we actually
don’t sometimes. If somebody says this are that ten percent, I will just laugh
into his face.
Another side is thinking and this is
something, I guess we can’t determine by some percent, volume, numbers or
amount. It’s our mind, and it doesn’t have borders. This is the most
interesting stuff of all that we use, because we have no idea how it works. We
can just observe and make some conclusions which sometimes can’t even be
direct. Our thoughts it’s something out of our understanding. It isn’t a
chemistry like our body’s composition, because our thoughts are much faster and
advanced than our physical essence which just can’t be in time with our
thinking process.
Once I heard one statement of one
Russian writer – “Our thoughts are sticking in our words, and the words are sticking
in themselves”. It means that our thoughts are much more extensive than we
can describe. In other words, there are no words to express everything we’re
thinking about. Probably someone can disagree with me, and I accept his point
of view. But for me it makes sense, when we pay a little attention to one fact –
we can manage decades of thoughts within one second, but we can’t even predict
what we will be thinking about in five minutes. And this is not the chemistry,
this is the stuff that makes us humans.
What do you think about this? :)
