Blood`Eternity This has been a theory for a very long time, I first heard about it when I was 8 and experimenting with different theories about our existence and other things, of course the actually percentages then were 11% consious, sub-conscious included and 85-90% of your mind was unconscious or inactive, thus if one could achieve even 25% conscious mind they could see into the future and those who could achieve much higher levels of the conscious mind could possible bend reality [in other words they would practically be wizards]. eek Is that how Criss Angel does his freaky little stunts eek ?

No...those are tricks. He's an illusionist, he's trained in tricking people. I can gaurantee every single one of his tricks have simple explinations. It's just not easy to do the tricks well, which is why he is so good for doing it in the open, rather than on stage.

Well, that's just the Fruedian theory. There's other ideas like the behaviorist theory, the humanist theory, etc.
I think there's basically a happy medium between unconciousness and consciousness.

Yeah...sorry if you were just joking. But SOOOO many people are really almost zealous believers that magic is something scientific. That there is some explination in the harnessing of intense concentration to alter movement of atoms and silly things that are really imensley improbable.
I guess I just don't like it when people try to usea cosmic explination for a stink, when the shitting elephant is right next to them...

edit in reply to your second post:
lol, well I figure just let people believe in there magic, its about as unbelievable as believing in Zeus or Jehovah, so I just say let them believe in it and pass a bit of information there way when you can; hope they come around.

I didn't think to check his website....But only some of his tricks are explained on youtube... He'd never do ti all or he and many others would be out of jobs, but I would LOVE to learn such trickery from a proffesional.

Of course we use our brains everyday just to function like we all do. But it has been proven that we don't use the brain to it's full potential at all. If we used our minds to there full potential we could do anything. The mind is a powerful tool and most people don't seem to understand it. Not understand it as in, 'your stupid', I mean they don't understand it overall. Most people simply don't believe or know how to use their minds to their full potential. Even I don't know how to do everything there is with the mind (I'm not anyone special). If we did though, as I said before, we could do anything.

We only use about 15% of our brains capabilitys. There are exercises you can do to open up your mind a bit more but you cant use all of it completly.

as has been mentioned, if you want to talk about conscious/subconscious mind as well as dreaming, you really have to take Freud into account. he was one of the first to say that dreaming had any actually meaning whatsoever and there are plenty of theories surrounding dreams, a lot of psychologists still believe that dreaming means absolutely nothing and is just a bunch of crap in your brain. the reason this has to do with the subconscious is because dreaming is a subconscious action. Freudian slips as well, when you say something you think you didn't mean to say, but in reality you were really thinking about you just didn't know it. that sounds immensely confusing, i know, but it seems to me that if anyone wants to bring up consciousness, they have to bring up Freud, as he really was a pioneer and father to many of the modern theories that are around today. he was also the one to start treating psychological problems by talking, psychotherapy, which also involves the unconscious mind.

TheeAntiPilgrim We only use about 15% of our brains capabilitys. There are exercises you can do to open up your mind a bit more but you cant use all of it completly. Once again you're just repeating the same tired old Myth. All Research shows that the entire Brain is used. Are there differences between Smarter people and those who aren't as bright. You betcha current research shows the Brains of people with extremely high IQ's tend to be more efficient but the entire brain still works. It just isnt' working as hard. There are theroies that thier might be more Neurons present but so far it's not understood. Flame_Knight000 Of course we use our brains everyday just to function like we all do. But it has been proven that we don't use the brain to it's full potential at all. If we used our minds to there full potential we could do anything. The mind is a powerful tool and most people don't seem to understand it. Not understand it as in, 'your stupid', I mean they don't understand it overall. Most people simply don't believe or know how to use their minds to their full potential. Even I don't know how to do everything there is with the mind (I'm not anyone special). If we did though, as I said before, we could do anything. No it hasn't been proven that we don't use the mind to it's full potential. Because quiet frankly no one knows what the Mind can or cannot Do. There is no proof at all of Extra Sensory Abilities waiting to be unlocked in our heads. There is no verifiyable proof that Extra Sensory abilities exist at all.

I think you all are making my brain hurt!
I do know one thing. I dream and do things that I have never done while awake so it is more than our conscious experience in review. Now books, television, video games and other unreal experiences may account for some of this but not all.
I believe we use most of our brain but filter out most of the information. For starters we are not always conscious of the noise around us until someone calls our attention to it, the temperature, normal odors, etc. I believe the brain does this to keep from being overstimulated and their are individuals who suffer from a lack of ability to do so.
It may also be that the brain has certain areas for processing and certain areas for storage.
Unfortunately I don't think we know enough about the brain and how it operates. I'm not sure this belongs in a knowledge thread. Label it speculation or theoretical.

I'm not sure this belongs in a knowledge thread. Label it speculation or theoretical. there ARE different areas of the brain specific to things, such as language, emotion, abstract thinking, etc. they've done tests on people to see which areas of the brain are active when they are doing certain activities or feeling a certain emotion. there is quite a bit that we DO know about the brain, and quite a lot that we don't. we're learning little by little, but it's not the dark ages anymore and when doctors theorize, it's not just a simple little guess.. a guess is labled as a hypothesis and even that is supported by some data, while a theory is something that is almost proven just not 100% or it becomes a law. besides, if we didn't speculate, how are we ever supposed to figure out how things work.
