Revealed: The seven great "medical myths"

[GeeGee]

Yes I think the same. Perhaps it has to do with the mind, which is non-physical in nature.

[Richard]

The bottom line is science is correct saying we’re using 100% of our brain. We're just not using 100% of our mind.

[Astrojewels]

I agree Richard, the brain is the physical electric motor that stimulates the mind, and from one life-stream to the next life-stream the mind-pattern follows you, but you are re-born with a new brain. If you damage or remove parts of the brain, the mind will not function in the same manner, so both are connected.
Thoughts are energy, that is how they are transferred from one person to another or person to spirit, how two people ‘think’ the same thought simultaneously. This is how they program entire cities through manipulated energy of thought, it is absorbed on a large scale, which stimulates all other senses to trigger.

I guess Stewart means 10% of the mind, which would make more sense. But then again, he quite clearly stated the brain. Not believing physicians is one thing(which I don't), but how do we account for MRI and PET scans?

So I'm lost here.  What is the conclusion of this discussion?  Did Swerdlow misspeak and really meant mind? I can believe we don't use all of our mind, but it appears that we do, in fact, use most areas of our brain.

I don't remember where the article was from, but I remember coming across a story of an intelligent person born with no physical brain.  The medical establishment was stunned.  So maybe we really have no idea of what the physical brain does and no idea of where the mind resides?  Interesting!

Yes I told him about this and how doctors refer to the "we use 10% of our brain" statement as a myth. This was his response:

Stewart's Reply: If humans used 100% of the brain, we would all be psychic, bilocate, have interdimensional contacts, see dead people, communicate mentally all the time and levitate.
If you believe what physicians say, you should not be reading this site. :))


Oh and mind/brain is usually referred to as two seperate things. Read the book Irreducible Mind by Edward F. Kelly if you're interested in the differences.

GR,
interesting, I have read stories of the brain being damaged, yet the person still thinks and performs neuron activities like normal, and also how do we explain when a person is brain dead but still alive.

We also have the academic versus the intellect, both different energy forms of thinking. When we are born who taught you to read, write, and think logically – societies education. Who taught you the feelings when your ‘heart’ was broken in 7th grade? Who taught you fear, apprehension and doubt? –the people who shared your life in your personal society.
If we broaden this topic to other organs, because the brain is basically an organ. When you are emotionally distressed, why does society say your heart is broken, the heart is an organ, it does not generate feeling and emotions, it is actually the conductor of all stress and energy transferred through the body when you feel unloved etc.

Who cares what Stewart Swerdlow says anyway?

Scientists saying that we use all 100% of our brain is rather like saying that I use 100% of my PC.  Every component of my PC is active even when I leave it idle, there's still electricity flowing through all the components.   Yet when idle it's only using about 1% of it's computing power.  It's still all operational.  It's what you do with it that uses up it's potential power.  I don't think that what the scientists say about using 100% of our brain contradicts what Stewart says about not using 90%.  Likewise my TV set is fully operational when I'm watching one channel, but it's never fulfilling it's full potential at any one time as there are thousands of other channels it could possibly tune into.  By measuring brain potential in terms of how much electrical activity is going on completely misses the point that Stewart makes.

[Astrojewels]

Marting,
I see your logic but the difference between your computer and your brain is that your computer is not sending thousands of neuron messages to keep the heart pumping, the liver or kidneys working etc, the brain does not require you to go into other programs like the computer, they ‘all’ work together, you can abuse the brain and these organs still work.
The mind is perhaps more like your analogy, because the mind does require active stimulation to keep it dynamic, and like the television, you can watch many stations at once on the split screen or perhaps the frequency sending messages through your ‘aerial’ is inferior/blocked so you are stuck on the one channel.
But as asked in an above post, can you tell me one person who has accessed what is claimed to be achieved through these techniques? I am not criticizing just asking for a bit of verification because the people I know who have actively done these techniques have become more confused than when they started.

[GeeGee]

Well Stewart's entire career is based on "opening the 90% of the unused portion of the brain". If this is truly a false myth, then he would be considered a fraud. Not saying that he is, but that is the point of this discussion.
