Albert Einstein said we use less than 10% of our brain's capabilities.

How could I tap into the other 90%?

Are there any homestudy courses or books you recommend?

Thanks...

Technically he was not right, we use most of our brains all the time.

But in one way he was right, most people use most of their brain
capacity for useless work, like playing a social game of dominance,
gaining "respect", impressing females and scaring other males.

Einstein was a super-nerd, he had no idea of social games, he used his
brain capacity for science.

If you want to be intelligent like him you should have started as a
child, avoiding the other children, avoiding having to become tough.

You have to choose if you want to be streetsmart or really intelligent
like Einstein.

If you want to be socially strong you have to use your brain capacity
to control a lot of anger and stress.
If you want to use your brain for other things you need to remove
yourself from the stressy social life, stop watching violent
tv-programs, move to a peaceful environment, and let your brain cool
off.

Socially weak kids are mobbed in school, to force them to adjust to
the tough atmosphere in society.
Einstein lived a sheltered life as a child.

But even as a grownup you can release a lot more brain capacity for
other purposes by removing stress factors from your life.

Be aware though, that when the brain cools off there will be some
negative effects, like restlessness and emotional problems.

Most people today live in a world where their brains are overloaded
all the time, and it is seen as normal to be very concentrated and
highly excited all the time.
People use will power to control a lot of stress, and they do not live
natural lives.

They start every day by hating away their souls, that's what we have
morning tv for.

If you want to get out of that state of mind and try to find real
peace of mind, to tap into the natural brain capacity, you have a
complicated task ahead of you.

Your own brain will resist such a change, because it has gotten used
to running at a constantly high speeed, you will get restless and have
other symptoms when you let your brain cool off.

Your social environment will also resist such a change, as they are
used to the will power, it is a tradition, so they will see your
change as weakness and they will try to "help" you regain full social
and mental power.

There is a war between people, who has the most social power,
no doubt this game is made for sociopaths and psykopaths. They
exercise all their Theory of Mind mental capabilities which are
abnormally cold and cut off from emotions. This is of course the
other side of the coin.

A certain degree of brain capability is hereditary, some depends on early

Einstein never said any such thing. What you're referring to is horseshit.
Think about it: have you ever heard a doctor treat a man who has been shot
in the head say "Well, he'll be ok since the bullet only passed through the
90% of the brain he doesn't use."?

You can't learn to be intelligent. Get over it.

It is this "war between people" I am talking about. I don't think it
is necessary in any way, it is an old tradition, a cultural pattern we
learn from the previous generation.

We are trained for that war all our lives, and become tough and ugly
as we get older.

We could abolish these traditions and use much more of our brain
capacity for other purposes, more useful or enjoyable purposes.
It is a waste of human effort.

In some parts of the world they have a religion called creationism,
which means that they think the male mind has to be created, trained
to be violent, to create eternal love, strong marriages and social
order in society.

(Humanism is a counter-ideology to creationism.)

So they train their children from early age to be tough.
When these creationist kids meet more natural kids in school mobbing
is the result.

The mobbed kids cannot understand why others kids are so mean and have
so hard souls.

This happens also in the grownup world, in workplaces where people are
mobbed because the creationists think the socially weak ones need to
be tougher, so they are mean to them and see it as a justified way to
"help" them develop their personalities, become socially stronger,
learn to control their emotions and will power. Learn to handle ever
higher levels of excitement.

It happens every day in newsgroups in usenet, for the same reasons.
The creationist minds have been shaped and trained to be rude and
aggressive, it is a natural lifestyle for them, and many of them are
not even aware that they are trained by a religion, a culture.

This creationist culture is stronger in USA than anywhere else in the
world, that is why US-americans on average are more violent and
aggressive than other people.
They have more violence in their society and in their media channels
than the rest of the world.

Mankind has abolished creationism in large parts of the world, and
gotten rid of the religious justifications for it. In many modern
countries religion plays no significant role anymore.
We have given women rights to vote, we have given the individual
rights, human rights, etc..

Humanism had a big influence in the religiously dominated Europe
around the year 1500, which led to secularization and reformation
within the churches, protestantism was formed in this process.
Humanism centered the world around the natural man, instead of the
view of the world based on God which dominated Europe earlier.
The God-based mind was challenged by the natural mind, and man became
the measure for the new paradigm, instead of the God-based earlier
paradigm.

But we are still in the middle of the process of coming out of the
creationism which was very strong in stone age times.
This process takes thousands of years, and USA is the most powerful
conservative culture today, which is trying to drag the rest of the
world backwards historically, with all the violence they export
through media, the ideological justifications for creationism in the
form of both religion and the talk between the lines in tv-series and
movies from Hollywood.

So we see every day how the creationists gang up on more natural and
naive people, in usenet as in many other places, and they feel very
convinced that they are on the right side. After all, they have God on
their side.

The creationist mind is built on strong conviction and
self-righteousness, extreme examples are middle east terrorists minds
and the violent gangs in USA.

Those minds are the results of creationism when it has gone to
extremes. But creationism is also still part of the culture in most
parts of the world, although at less extreme and violent levels.

Creationism is a system of social traditions, religious ideas, about
how boys must be made into men, how women are trained to serve the
man, how marriages are arranged, how social order is established and
upheld.

The people who try to establish and uphold a strict order in some
newsgroups are, whether they know it or not, children of creationism.

The people who are mobbed by the creationist gang are more natural
people, who had the luck in life to be brought up more naturally, but
they do not have a defence against these creationist kids.

Many natural kids are forced to become tougher and learn to justify
their new state of mind, so a lot of people grow up as natural
children but become creationists later in life.

It is often seen as an initiation rite to become a grownup, to get a
controlled mind, to learn to think twice and speak with a forked
tongue.

The creationist mind is chronically excited, which results in a lot of
drug use, alcoholism, restlessness, workaholics, bitterness, intensive
love, sex addiction, sports, manic obsessions, viewing a lot of
violence on tv or movies, violent computer game addiction, etc..
All different forms of extremely excited brains which are not allowed
to relax and rest.

This is a cultural problem we suffer from all over the world, it is
just more extreme in some parts of the world than in other parts of
the world.
It stems from our historical background, the social dominance games in
the stone age and even earlier.

It is a cultural pattern we will have to get rid of to become modern
intelligent people instead of adrenaline-driven stone age beings.

There are freeware programs to help people understand creationism and
find ways out of it. The most famous one is Tao-te-Ching written by
Lao-Tzu, available in many translations all over the web.

It is the most translated and copied text in the history of mankind,
and has had an enormous influence on the development of modern
thinking. It has also been twisted around by millions of creationists
who try to interpret it as a justification for their views, that is
why taoism soon became a worshipping mystical religion after the death
of Lao-Tzu.

The struggle between creationism and a more natural way to think goes
on inside our own heads during our lives.
We may fight creationism while we are young, defending our natural
peace of mind, and later in life we may accept creationism as the
normal grownup way to be.
As we get older we may go back to our first position and realize that
creationism is something you do in the middle of life, as married.

So we are often thrown back and forth between accepting creationism
and being attacked by it.
Lazy minds give up and accept the justifications for the state of mind
they are forced to live in.

Others struggle all through their life to resurrect their lost peace
of mind and a childs natural and simple view of the world.

"Once I thought I was wrong, but that was a mistake."

"It seems to me that with or without religion good people will behave
well and bad people will do evil things. But for good people to do
evil things, that takes religion."
(Steven Weinberg, Nobel physicist.)

As Robert Ingersoll noted, "Religion has not civilized man - man has
civilized religion." And yet fundamentalists such as Pat Robertson and
Jerry Falwell and Tim LaHaye still declare war on non-believers,
seeking nothing less than total world domination. Once again,
non-believers are treated as dirt.

Diagnosing the social disease of Fundamentalism is simple. The classic
symptoms are: (1) the individual is nothing but a slave to the
"cause"; (2) women are the property of men; and (3) non-believers must
be conquered or killed. In other words, men are slaves, women are
dogs, and non-believers are dirt. Examples that meet these criteria
include Moslem and Christian Fundamentalism, as well as Hitler's Nazi
belief system of "Aryan" superiority.
(From a web page about fundamentalism)

Even good and intelligent people often feel that they are forced to
comply in one way or another when the creationists dominate the
society around them.
"Because everybody else are hardening the minds of their children we
have to do it too, we do not want our children to be victims to
mobbing in school."

"Because all the girls have been trained as they have we have to train
our boys to become strong willed to have a chance."

Girls often have stronger minds than boys during the teenage years,
and later the boys are stronger, and later the women are stronger
again. That is a modern western variant of creationism.

Others think that we can get rid of the patriarchal society by
training all girls to become just as strong and violent as men.
It is not a good idea. We cannot get rid of the violent male mind by
training girls to become like men.

Mankind is still looking for the best solutions to this cultural
problem. Maybe understanding the problem and where it comes from is
the best remedy.

How could I tap into the other 90%?

A certain degree of brain capability is hereditary, some depends on early
childhood development, etc. But contrary to what many people think, a
significant degree (it's impossible to actually quantify beyond these
vague
terms) does depend on individuals habits and can be enhanced by a
disciplined effort.. I'll briefly mention two very important examples of
what can be done without going into the various details and methodologies.

1. It is possible to train oneself to become more proficient in thinking
in
terms of analogies. Being able to creatively form analogies is one of the
most powerful mental skills that anyone can acquire. The human mind is
more
than a database of raw facts. Intelligence is the ability to creatively
form
meaningful, and most time very complex, relationships between specific
facts, perceptions, ideas, etc. These relationships then become the
specifics for forming new relationships... and on and on. The very
dimensional depth and complex richness of these relationships is really
what
we mean by "depth of knowledge" and the mind's ability to form them is one
critical aspect of "intelligence". Learning to think using analogies, over
time, re-wires the brain to a certain extent making it more proficient at
being creative in forming that multi-dimensional network of relationships.

2. It is also possible to enhance our ability think using visual images.
The
old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is very true when it comes
to the embodiment of complex information in the brain. One of the reasons
that prolific readers seem more intelligent (on the average) than prolific
TV watchers and video gamers has little to do with cramming facts in the
head. It has everything to do with the fact that reading forces the mind
to
visualize and develops the brain's wiring to do it. TV and video games
does
the visualization for you so little or no brain wiring for that skill
takes
place.

Both of these skills can be developed by a rich variety of methods but all
rely on practice and effort which will rule out a large class humanity
known
as "lazy". Of course, the degree to which any one person can develop these
proficiencies also depends on a huge variety of factors. Some can be
overcome by self-motivation and practice - some can't. That being said,
there's one other adage that most certainly applies to brain capacity -
"if
you don't use it, you will lose it". The brain or thinking "capacity",
even
in adults, is fairly dynamic being mainly a matter of the sophistication
of
neural connectivity. That connectivity can be expanded and also most
definitely contracted as a result of our daily habits of life.

Regards,
Perion

The greater mysteries of cognitive neuroscience is how the brain makes
visual images inside itself, how multicell activity can occur, and how
they
know how to start firing together. Obviously for the computer to do this
it would take enormous amounts of capacity. The brain has to use other
and more unknown methods to fire the right cells together, or it would
have had to be a hundred times bigger to do that by trial and error. It
just
knows how to do and when to do it. A computer can't fathom the simplest
analogy.

Some scientists have begun thinking about powerfields that rise inside
the brain, actual standing waves of magnetism that is analogous to a
soul (or minisouls) of free wills existing inside our brains.

After spending a fair amount of time studying "Neuroscience" (Dale Purves et
