What are the limits of our brains and mind?
To show you the latest theories on the mechanism of creation and demonstrate how much more advanced the New Philosophy is than today's science, we offer a summary of two articles published lately.

… Do we not have specific mental capacities that we are aware of but a small portion? Some scientists believe that the most common people never utilize more than a fraction of their mental power in their lives. What are these claims based on? First, we have obtained extraordinary evidence that confirms the mind's incredible capabilities if it is subject to proper training (It will describe an experiment later).
… There are mental capabilities in us that we never turn to unless in exceptional circumstances. Very few people memorize significant subjects with the help of images.
… Science today knows very little of the essence and capabilities of the mind. The brain itself that people consider as the tool for intelligence is a great and unsought dominion.
However, what we know is so complex and expansive that it terrifies us. A prominent scientist once said: if all the electrical and electronic equipment of our world are brought together and molded into a dense mass, it will still be a childish tool compared to this gray and small substance that is our brain.
… Recently, there have been some notable researchers at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Wilder Penfield, M.D. Certain parts of a fully awake person's brain are very gently contacted using an electrode in these studies. If this contact hits the visual system, the person sees stars flying before his eyes.
If it touches the auditory system, the person will hear ringing. Plus, if the stick contacts a specific area, the person will strangely raise his hand.
… Besides, when stimulated, a part of the brain will remember memories.
… Dr. Penfield believes that these are incontrovertible reasons that indicate the existence of a real-world "central" organization (like electric or phone center) in our brain that is so complex and detailed that it keeps us puzzled…
