This thread is for those with a very open mind, and I want to prompt ideas that most people discard as impossible or fantasy. For we do not know everything in the world, not even close, but what we DO know is that compared to everything around us we are smaller than a grain of sand on the beach, and with that knowledge alone I believe there are endless possibilities out there in the universe.
To get specific... most everyone knows that human beings use only 10 percent of their brain, correct? And perhaps some geniuses use 11? But how many people REALLY stop to wonder what would be of our race if we could tap that other 90 percent?
Here's a situation. There was a study, some of you may be aware of it, I learned it personally while I played on my varsity basketball team when I was in high school... There was a study done, where a school took two groups of 10 students, basketball players. The aim was to see which method of teaching would improve their free throw shooting percentages... The first group, for 4 hours a day, did nothing but sit and shoot free throws... The second group, sat down somewhere, and VISIONED shooting, and making free throws. At the end of the day, the second group had a higher percentage increase with their shooting.
A stronger example here, a story I heard from a dear friend of mind, who saw something on the Discovery or some such channel... There was this man, I believe an indian buddist of some kind, who would sit in a tub of ice for hours on end a day and meditate. He did this for years I believe. He learned through meditation, how to control his inner body's core temperature, despite the fact the outside of his body was numb. He then later walked across the North Pole, damn near butt ass naked, and survived.
Now my interest sparks in other aspects of these tales. This guy trained his brain to control his body at ice freezing temperatures where anyone else would have died. What if, instead, he concentrated his meditation on something else? Perhaps, telepathy? would he have been able to read minds if for years he sat and practiced with someone? What about another talent?
If my memory servers correctly from my science classes, every object in the universe is made up of mass, and all mass has both, potential enery, and kinetic energy. i.e. A can sitting on a table has potential energy, it could potentially fall over, resulting then in kinetic energy until the can is still again. So what about people. Me sitting still right now in my bed, I as a human have potential energy, correct? Hmmm makes me wonder... What if I sat and meditated for a few years, and learned how to control the energy? Control the flow of it perhaps? A talent, if mastered, could give a person the ability of telekeniesis. Theoretically, if you could control the flow of your potential energy, you could release it from you, and when released, the energy would blast against an object, causing it to move without you touching it.
These are just a few thoughts I've had for a looong time, and some other opinions would be awesome
