I am just not sure if there is any way to validate what actually takes place (not that it necessarily matters). Much of it has to do with brain wave frequencies (theta, alpha, etc). There is a company called <a href="http://www.centerpointe.com/?aid=371253" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Centerpointe</a> that has done some amazing research in this area and developed a technology called Holosync.

One is just to go running or walking in nature. Another is to pose the question, fully expecting the answer, before going to sleep. I've also heard the story of a famous executive (told by Brian Tracy) who used to shut himself in his thinking room ( a room that was completely dark) whenever he was faced by a puzzling problem. He would then meditate for one hour in complete silence. And that's how many successful answers came to him. I’ve heard a couple of suggestions for tapping into the power of the subconscious.

My opinion, I'll take all the brain I can get. One thing is for sure, the "use it or lose it" scenario definitely applies to our cognitive function.

The truth is that science has a very limited understanding of how the human mind works. So their estimates are basically just educated guesses and range from 1/100 of 1% all the up to 100% (I've only seen 1 that claimed 100%). Personally, I feel there is amazing potential that is dormant in most people and that environmental factors are making the situation worse by the year. Hey Stuart, theory is the optimal word here.

It's true! I know a lot of people get the same experience. It make sense doesn't it. I get most of my good ideas when distracted for a moment….. like inconvenient times such as sitting on the toilet!

This is really amazing to know that we only use 1% of our mind, what if we start using 100% of our mind?? I'm really thrilled to think about it. What's your opinion Johnathan? Hi Jonathan,
