new theory on life, the future, and psi

According to science, we only use up to 10% of our brains, so whats the other 90% for?

I'm not sure if this is what they mean. I know some about how brains work. Each of about 10,000,000,000 neurons connects to about 10,000 other neurons. When a neuron "fires", it adds electric charge to those its connected to in amounts defined by the connections. If the cost to fire was very small, the optimal amount of neurons to be firing at one time would be 50%. If you used 60% then you could just reverse the firing rules and use the lower 40%, not efficient. When scientist say 10% I think they mean 10% firing at one time. There is a chemical cost for firing a neuron, and it evolved that way, so it is probably best. The other 90% is not being wasted or used for some other purpose. It is just waiting to fire, I assume.

ah sorry bout that, i read that somewhere so i assumed it to mean that we only use 10% of our brain all the time lol -_-

Most people think that.

thanks for the science lesson tho

Interesting fact: If every nerve cell in your body fired at once, you'd die of electrocution. Not a lot of people know that []

What makes you think that all the futures need to be calculated by someone/thing? You could simply posit that every possible combination happens along one timeline or another, and we don't look at a consciously-calculated future projection. We genuinely look into the future, it's just that there are lots of futures in existence.

One possible way that magic works is that your subconscious/higher self/whatever looks at all the possible futures, and 'aims' you at one where the things you want to happen occur. That might be why it's so hard to make the effects of magic visible: You don't have any effect on what you cast the spell at, your spell only affects you by aiming you at a different future.

Interesting theories.  Especially since you are somewhat right on multiple levels.

Everything on earth is linked at a certain level.  So are humans, and again at at different level (that means your linked twice).  Now, ask yourself you you chose to incarnate now, and for what purpose.  Take the linking to the logical conclusion and what does it imply?

The future is indeed a probability.  The closer you look in the future, the more likely a specific outcome is likely to happen.  Certain events are virutally guranteed, while others are virtually impossible.  The earlier you try to make changes, the more likely they will become.

Telepathy, Empathy, Kinesis, and many other things are all quite real, just variations of energy work.  Extend the hypothesis and where does it lead?

thanks for the responces!

astralspinner: you said pretty much what i said...i was trying to say that the future you see when you use whatever method (precognition, dreams, clavoyance, claraudiance, etc.) is just whats most likely going to happen and i had just been curious where that probability comes from, so it made sense that it was your subconsious who calculated it all. Cause i mean, if no one calculated it..then where would it come from? I had forgotten to add the part about how your subconsious points you to the best one, sorry bout that..i was a bit tired when writing it all up because until now it was all in my head :-/

the other part i forgot to add is how i also believe that everything happens for a perpose, which could also be a reason why you need someone to calculate the future to tell you when to do something that will, after a string of events, make something else happen for the better.

Nice theory.

I know a theory about a man called John D.Ralphs (he have a book called something like "The Fouth Dimension) that it is very good too.

He explains the existence of paranormal phenomenons with the existence of a 4th dimension (or even more). Our world it is perceived as only having 3d, but in fact it can have more. In fact, there are some new (not so new...) theories that says that our universe, at a microscale it is build in 10 or more dimensions (called the "super chord theorie").

Imagine a universe that its plain (2d) as all of it inhabitants. All the people are triangles, circles, etc and they think themselves are 2d and live in a 2d world. You can try to imagine triangles(in this analogy they  are the humans), etc, in a piece of paper (the world).

What they dont know its that the world it is blended in 3d (imagine the same pice of paper in rolled (like a scroll in a tubular shape)). I mean, people in that world thinks that the world its completly plain (and it is) but they just dint know it s that the world it is distorced/blended/whatecer in a 3d shape. With that 3d shape "strange" things can happen. That people dont even know too, that aside the world they live, there are other worlds.


Now imagine: one day one triangle  will lift off from the paper (imagine someone grabbing a triangle and taking it out from the paper). In that position, out of his world, above (in a 3d position, different from the usual 2d position) the triangle will see all of is world in just one glance (something that never happened before in this 2d world). For him this is unique moment, seing everything as it really is. He will call to this experience "illumination".

Now, taking out the analogy, we can imagine that the "lift" of the triangle its an obe or someone reaching Nirvana, etc. In fact, the persons that obed it is just flying in the 4 dimension.

More: ufo manouvers can be explained with the existence of a 4 dimension (without a draw its hard to explain how but in the book you can see it).

Telepathy, TK, etc its all explained with the existence of a fouth  dimension conecting all the things at the same time. In our analogy, if you blend the paper you can make distant parts of that same paper touching each other.

Its really very very hard to explain correctly the theorie in english for me, so its better for you to buy and read the book.

Its nice to read because he will argue everyhing, instead of throwing silly ideas into the air. Its a good book.

sounds cool [] i'll have to read it thanks

Hey! I thought i should share this with everyone because it makes a lot of sense in my mind and explains how people can see the future, and how psyonics work in general (like telepathy, empathy, TK, etc.). It also shows how the future is not set in stone and how you can still change your future .

Ok, im not sure whether anyone else has thought of this idea or not so im sorry if you did and i claimed it as my own idea.

So anyways, like most people, ive always wondered questions like "Whats the meaning of life?", "how does everything in life work?" etc. Well after reading Astral Dynamics, the section about how the future is one big probability got me thinking (i give that credit to Robert Bruce, thank you for including it in your book ).

So my theory is based off the fact that the future is one big probability that is calculated by how you react to situtations (emotionally and physically), everything youve done in your past, how you think, etc.

I was then wondering who comes up with this giant probability. At first i thought about religion and how if it was a god, that would be a lot of work to take in all that information from everyone and keep updating it every milisecond. Plus why would that god randomly tell or show certain people events that will most likely happen and not others? So then it hit me: its not a god that calculates your future; its your subconsious!

According to science, we only use up to 10% of our brains, so whats the other 90% for? Well in my opinion, part of it is used for taking in all that information for your subconsious to create one big probibility of whats most likely going to happen to you in the future!

This can explain how people have prophetic dreams because thats when your consious mind shuts up and your subconsious has a chance to tell you this information. The only problem being, since the future would be calculated in some higher way than we can understand, to show you what will happen in the future, your subconsious has to translate everything into symbols for you to decode. Thats not always the case, but most of the time it is. This also shows that even though you can see the future, it doenst mean it is set in stone. You can always make your life go in the direction you want it to! Remeber, the future you see is whats most LIKELY going to happen. Not what is MOST DEFINITLY going to happen!

Anyways, so i was thinking some more and I thought "but the future cant be calcualted with just our input, it has to include everyone and everything that can effect us in our life for it to show the highest probable thing that will happen". So then i thought, what if everyone and everything were somehow linked together, maybe energenically or something, and that data is always being updated of where everything is, what their most likely going to do, etc.

By realizing that, it can explain how telepathy and empathy work easily. If we are all link together by our minds, if we somehow can access that link, then we can gain hold of the information that is going through and therefore read what others are thinkin and feeling.

This link also explains how telekanesis posibly works: if we are linked to everything, that includes objects too. But, noramlly the only thing we have true control over is our body. When we want to move our arm, we move it. If we wanted to move an object then we would have to physically get up and move it. But, if we were to gain access to that link between us and the object, then we could control the object also, therefore making PK possible!

This is all ive figured out so far, and its just an idea so i dont know how true it all is, but it makes sense to me and i hope it helps explain a few things to you guys. Thanks for listening I appriciate it any comments or questions id love to answer!
