Mind Over Matter

Oh how the world is advancing. Apparently we only use 10% of our brain right? With just 10% look what the world has accomplished, aside from hate crimes, religious wars, mindless gang violence and many other downfalls, a lot has been done. During the times of hunters and gatherers, finding food was a fulltime job. Now due to technology and organization in the world we are able to just drive to a grocery store, or restaurant and fulfill our survival needs. Going a little off topic, but my point is we are evolving everyday. According to FOX news, scientists have had some success on relieving chronic pain, just by using the patient's mind. I have always heard that it is all in one's head which is true. You don't feel pain when you sleep do you? It's because you're brain is focusing on something totally different. I wonder, however, if this is increasing the percentage of brain usage by discovering a new area, or just learning a new type of self control? Of course this new method of pain relief is nowhere near full usage, but we're getting closer. Imagine, being able to stop pain just by your thoughts, maybe we are in the matrix. . . .
