10% of brain myth

How are your views on the whole used and unused areas of the brain? I have heard throughout the years that there are untapped areas of the brain, and yet some scientist have stated that such a claim is a myth, though there are areas not fully understood.

My personal thoughts was that it was more about utilizing more of your brain power rather then untapping unused areas of the brain. We are using our whole brain (all areas) all the time aren't we?

I don't think it was ever a matter of used or unused.
But one of depth and evolvement of the brain, commanded by need and desire. I agree we use all of it, consciously and unconsciously, and to me unconscious is the silent maintenance programs running beneath consciousness, as dark matter in the Universe sustains it - we once thought space was empty space between the planets too.

The body is the creation of the mind - using the brain to build its home.

Well stated Darrell.

Ha, have bumped heads with the (10% used) vs. (90%') unused areas of the brain / mind area, for many decades.
That description, (used and unused)   as commonly stated, is I believe a misnomer. Although I do believe that your words 'used and unused ', 'untapped ', and 'not fully understood', are highly relevant though.
Usage of terms like 'conscious/subconscious', while used frequently, and not yet fully understood, are as I have come to believe it, are intermingled with the terms 'used/unused, untapped, and not fully understood', parts of the brain. So utilizing as you stated, or learning to access those not yet fully understood areas, is problematical.
Often, more questions than answers show up, when endeavoring to solve this conundrum.
So lets start the show.
I believe as do numerous others, that we are all psychic.
Whether this is all in ones brain activity or other wise is another question.
To what degree we are all psychic though, is open to discussion.
Now enters the term 'intuition and psychic', which to me are synonymous.
Although many would rather grow hair on their eyeballs, than believe they are psychic, so 'intuition' is a favored term.
We all, or many, have experienced flashes of intuition. Some experience it more then others, Why!  Many women are better at intuition than most men, Why!
Studying certain material enhances ones 'intuition/psychic' ability, Why!
Is one 'tapping into' an unused part of the brain, by study! Or is new material being programmed into the brain area! Or are there unknown aspects just 'sitting' there just waiting for the 'right' key to open that part of ones brain! 
Questions, questions and more questions.
Why can a very young person come along, with no formal education or training, and completely leave most of the worlds population in the dust with their genius!

So many questions remain, like, is one introducing a 'new some thing' into the brain or is one reawakening a certain part of the brain!

A biggie for me is, why is physic ability a 'use it or it diminishes rapidly' situation, as far as 'easily' applying psychic actions! If it is all within ones brain, why does it diminish if not used often,  or is some higher level of awareness being accessed that is outside brain activity, not always readily accessible!

There are still many unanswered questions, but the so called unawareness factor, does lead one to numerous situations of new awareness, if diligently 'listened' too.

Ah yes, many as yet, untold  stories, that border on fiction, were it not for having experienced it.

Be Well

Zen you talk about the Brain and mind as being the same thing. True from a point of view but a big Occult mistake.

The way it sounds when you say we only use 10% of the brain is like we only used one part of the brain. The Neurologist like to talk down to us and tell us we use all the parts of the brain at different times and for different things. It is true that we use the brain everywhere but the brains total mater is largely unused. We need lower brain wave states in order for more blood to flow to the brain. When we become stressed less blood flows to the brain. Caffeine in chocolate, tea and soda cause stressful states in the brain. This is why pregnant women shouldn't drink caffeine. They also shouldn't eat meat but that's a different story.

Some parts of the brain as well as most of the body is largely operated by the subconscious mind. The brain is a reflection of the mind in the fact that there is far more to them then we are aware of.

Do not forget that humans are a result of genetic splicing. Our brains are not completely the result of Evolution.

I don't think I said the brain and ind were the same at all.
But if I did - my bad.

The brain is an organic processing center for the mind.
The mind is a total body inhabitant from the mass flesh to the smallest particle.

Very well said Zen. I hope to one day soon expand my consciousness to provide my bodies cells the information and Life Force to shape shift. That is my greatest dreams.

They are not referring to brain matter Konowledge, as in not using certain parts of the brain. What is meant is that we dont use all of our brains potential. We use all of the brain, just not to its maximum potential, not 100% power, but just enough to get by. If an area of the brain is not used then the body potion or area to which that area of the brain governs will suffer.

A similar area of conversation is that we dont use 100% of our body's potential either, or human potential in general. Maybe this relates to the usage of the brain or Mind in general.

That is true. However keep in mind if you use too much of your muscles they will tare from your bones. Of course you can't consciously do this so don't sweat it.
