I been reading about this, but i want to know whats your take on it. How far do you think the limit is.
Mind over matter...as in being able to control matter with the mind. That's not such an important question. The important thing to ask is: what is the essential difference between spirit and mind/matter, and what are the relationships between them?
"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss I beleive it, but it comes with extensive training and hard work, look at Buddhist monks for example. I saw some documentary and they would climb these steps going up hundreds of feet and then do it again walking on their hands. Then they'd punch cauldrons filled with stones, insane stuff. Just gotta train your mind.
Don't know what the limit is, but I hope there's great potential there. I hypothesize that there could be a limit in regards to what other minds desire -- if you can't convince the majority that it is a good thing it won't happen. So you might be limited to doing productive or inconsequential things, which takes training like r33f3r said...to quench the desire to dominate. Anyway here's a good site in case you haven't seen it yet: http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/
well, I do believe that yyou can use your mind to overcome things that normally you could not, but te thign is you are really only doing this in most cases by teaching your mind to do it that way, so it's really kind of mind over mind over matter
i don't know about the "over" part, or even the mind, but i do know there will always be lots of things about which we know very little =^^= .../\...
I've had this theory thinking about how we can only use maximum 10% of our brain, what if the other 90% is on autopilot, meaning, it has rules it has to follow inorder for the body to function. For example, converting food into energy, flowing blood, repair damaged organs, tissues and such. Eye sigh, converting light into image. Imagine if we were able to control 100% of our body is what im getting at. Increase size, strenght, thinking power.
We only use 10% at any given time. No point using the part that controls your leg muscles when you're trying to thread a needle, or the part that solves trigonometry problems when you're playing soccer. Your brain would overheat and short itself out if it was used 100% at a time.
mind filters matter. Therfore there is more matter then the mind tells us.The goal is to see all of matter. anyway we can do alot if we put our mind to it.
that's what the little lizard brain at the back is for and does, local proccess control, i forget what it's called. sensory organs in the head do feed directly into the big brain, except that the eyes have four layers of hard wired local proccess control of their own before passing visual data on to the brain. so most of what you're talking about there is already handled periferaly, external to the main brain which proccessess more or less holographicly, with some areas soft programed for relative specialization. i think most of that supposed underuse is actualy protective redundancy, though there may well be capacities, even periferal capacities we have yet to fully discouver and understand. like a modem to the subconscous dream internet perhapse. and or who knows what all else. what is not known is not known, that is the whole point, so anything about it is pretty much speculation. =^^= .../\...
