Have you ever wondered why we have so much more brain capacity than we use? It is estimated the average person uses between five and eight percent of their mental capacity. Even someone like Einstein used as much as fifteen percent and he was considered a genius. But that still meant some eighty-five percent of his capacity went untapped.

But if we’re not using it, why do we have it? That’s a question that will crop up regardless of whether you hold to the Theory of Evolution or you are a Creationist, particularly if you are a serious searcher after answers.

Not having studied the concept of Evolution seriously I might be accused of simplifying the argument. But from where I sit, Evolution is about the survival of those species best able to adapt to their particular environment. Yet we have a situation with the human species where we have all this apparently untapped potential. Why is it there? How did we come to have it in the first place? It’s not as if we needed it in order to survive, otherwise surely we would be able to access it.

Creationists claim we were literally created by a Superior Power. Taking that as a given, why did that Superior Power include that extra capacity as part of the package? Was it like some divine parent buying a set of clothes that were too big in anticipation we would grow into it? If so, why haven’t we, at least to a greater extent than we have?

So we get back to the question, why is it there? Or, the question I ask is, what could we do if we were able to access all that extra capacity? Would we still live in fear of the ‘other’? Would there still be wars? What would we be able to do? Would we get onto, let alone continue down, the path towards self destruction?

Perhaps we could travel through time. Perhaps we could communicate telepathically. Perhaps we would work towards wholeness and completeness. Perhaps we could… I leave it to your imagination as to what we might be able to do. The possibilities are endless.
