human capabilities

[Frog420]

obviously there are quite a few members who think that what we as human beings are capable of far greater than i have ever imagined, but it would seem that you are a very smart bunch of people... which i find to be quite taxing on my brain, because smart people in my eyes are people who think inside the box, inside the boundaries that are taught as we grow up. one of my ex girlfriends was also very smart, she read at 5 times the speed i do, knew so much more than i could have ever imagined to, and she was mearly 17 when we was dating... but she also belived in magic and ghosts and witchcraft and the like, i blatently dismissed her thoughts and she did not hold that against me, i have now come up against a similar thing here in these forums...

Everyone is capable of having a photographic memory

psychokenesis is real

Magic (mana) Exists

ok well you guys are probably the best in the world to talk to about unlocking potential of the mind, that can be part of the job for your average hypnotist/nlp practitioner, so doing such is a normal experience for a lot of you guys

but why is this still unknown to 99% of people on the street, some of the abilities you talk about us having and not realising are awsome to comprehend, you make me feel like i have been blind and am still blind , you say we have abilities i too can have.

are the above 3 statements true? are any of them true?

i also stated at an earlier date

>if anybody can be taught to read at speeds of 10,000 wpm then surely standard education methods would be ruled out<

this was my reply

>Schools are not about teaching skills
theyre about social programming<

surely you can do both, oh and starting to sound a bit conspiricy theory now as well

I would love for it to be true, all of it, and if it is help me see it as such

thanx

What you choose to think about any subject is your choice, nobody here will attempt to change your thinking.....However, " Limited thinking limits what you will achieve, or attempt to achieve" and "An open mind is not of nescessity a vacant one"......I have no proof of the existance of Psycokinesis, but an open mind on it would therefor make sense, since I have not proof that it doesn't exist either, and am not willing to spend the time trying to find out..... For someone who is willing to spend that time, an open mind is a nescessity.....No advances are ever made by someone who thinks the status quo is best, and nobody spends time on something they don't perceive as possible....

Hello Frog,

Sometimes people realise there is more than consensus reality (that which is accepted by the masses) When someone realises this, s/he has opportunity to learn and grow.
At one time it was believed travel faster than 15mph was impossible. You wouldn't be able to breathe.
It was at one time common knowledge that the earth was flat.
It was once believed that noone could go faster than sound.
only 100 years ago, the idea of mankind on the moon was nonsense.
Hypnosis was about sleep. Hypnosis is about alpha brainwaves. The planets circle the earth. Hypnosis cannot be used for cancer, AiDs, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and so on. You cannot be hypnotised against your will. You cannot be hypnotised to do something against your will.
People as a whole limit their beliefs.

It's long been said: What the mind expects to happen it will try to make as reality.

Some people are more comfortable inside the box.
Others get tired of being wrong. Those of us who have really learnt from what mankind has achieved accept there are more things to learn.

A good working attitude is:
*I don't know* rather than *It cannot be*

>Everyone is capable of having a photographic memory

A philosophy of NLP is that if one person can do something, then all of us are capable of learning it.
Everyone has a near perfect memory, but their recall is not always good.
In hypnosis people often recall details of events like their first birthday. Things like what the wore, what their mum wore, etc.
Knowing this, it's a matter of learning how to more readily recall. Hypnosis is one good method.
Learn to drop into hypnosis at will, and you learn to recall everything easily.

> psychokenesis is real

is it?
Some people claim to have experienced it.
You can deny it with the masses or be curious and find out for yourself. And even if you find it cannot be done, just remember *you do not know how today* Next year might be different so don't lock the door when you close the door on this subject. Be open to the possibility you might not know everything yet.

> Magic (mana) Exists

Magic means you cannot explain how it's done *yet*

> but why is this still unknown to 99% of people on the street

good question.
The Mayo brothers (started the famous Mayo clinic) used hypnosis for anesthesia about 100 years ago. Why so few other doctors?
Probably because inside the box feels safer.

Many skills, like hypereading are advertised on the 'net. Why haven't you looked? Why don't others?

Yes schools could theoretically teach academics. But a dumbed down population is more controllable.

and last; Remember:
A good working attitude is:
*I don't know* rather than *It cannot be*

Hello Chris,

What you think should be limitless. What you believe should be limited to that which you can prove. So when you have a thought that might turn into a belief subject it to rigorous testing before you let it become a belief. If you can't test it, it is worthless. If you test it then ignore the result, it is worthless.

And always remember, everything that is untested is just opinion.

And everything that is opinion today, will be tested by someone tomorrow, and proved or disproved because someone thought it possible.....
I well remember the electron theory promoted while I was attending night school one year, which was reversed the next year, because the atomic theory disproved something that had been accepted for years by everyone.....Electrons flow from positive to negative they said one year, and the next year it was flowing from negative to positive, and we couldn't even see the little buggers...(EG).....

LOL!
