Compared to the most sophisticated device ever created by man, “The computer”,the brain is more superior. It is crazy how much data a computer can accommodate. However,it’s amazing how the brain automatically multitasks with over 10 quadrillion operations per second without the knowledge of the human being.
A study done by Thomas Hervey on Albert Einstein’s special brain showed that his brain was like any other normal human brain. Worse still it was damaged. Hervey’s research never found any unique or special aspect on his brain. After a fruitless long struggle, he concluded that Einstein might have over used his brain. He maximized his unconscious mind. That’s why he was always generating new ideas from nowhere. His ideas just came to him.
The brain controls the respiratory system, the digestive system and the entire functioning of the body (behavioral and physical). If the computers can yield awesome results, then how much more can the human brain offer.Freud’s three levels of the mind briefly explore how the brain works. The preconscious (potential ideas to be brought to the mind), the conscious and subconscious mind. 90% of the brain operations are subconscious. Unfortunately, the conscious mind never utilizes the brain. The good news is thatthe conscious mind and the subconscious mind can work hand in hand to maximize the potential of the brain.
Once you are learning a task, your brain passes it on to the subconscious mind and later to the conscious mind. This means that the subconscious mind is key in helping an individual become a master at anything. Once you are able to perform a task subconsciously, you become a masterat it. For instance most people are good at the act of brushing teeth because it’s a set habit in their subconscious mind. Likewise you can be a master at the skill you are passionate about, by practicing the activity to the extent of exercising it perfectlywithout even realizing.
Every time you do something continuously, you are programing your subconscious mind. Every character that forms your personality is a learned behavior. Commonly, the subconscious mind appears weak and non-existent, but beware that the subconscious mind will always win the conscious mind. Go ahead utilize the capacity of your brain. All the mind stores are what you give it whether negative or positive.
