Your Brain is this Powerful

For starters, your brain has some 100 billion neurons and can process 11 million bits of information per second. If anything, this tells me how awesome God is. Second, it tells me what I can do if I exploit my brain's potentials. Experts say that consciously we can manage only 40 to 50 bits of info per second, but imagine if we expand our conscious mind a bit more and use up about 10 percent more of the 11 million?

Simply put, we have barely scratched the surface of our mind's possibilities. There are entire worlds left unexplored there and holding on to what we've been taught traditionally about what our minds can do will just waste all that potential down the drain. It's the same thing with creation. Our limited knowledge and limited brain use (40 to 50 bits of info per sec) leaves much of life truths (especially deep truths) untouched and unexplored.

Medical Science

And yet we act like we know everything, especially the "experts" and the titled and degreed. A lot of medical doctors confine themselves to the medical science that big pharma limits them to, merely matching illnesses to drugs, and outright dismissing other possibilities, especially remedies from nature or creation---not to mention supernatural healing, which they either shrug off and laugh off, or which they consider a little but barely believe in.

There are thousands, if not millions, of other possibilities out there hidden by God in creation waiting to be discovered, and which God wants us to explore and use. After all, God is the Author of all creation, the human body particularly, its health and healing, and how his creation---nature---fits into all that. Answers are out there, and deep within us.

What's really ridiculous is how some doctors even tell you taking natural, organic food can worsen your illness and detrimentally react with your synthetic medicines.

Human Theology

Doctors of theology and other religious experts also act like they have figured everything out, especially the right interpretation of Scriptures, which of course is their interpretation with their use of "hermeneutics" which is man's way of understanding the bible and which defines everything to them. It's their god, replacing the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who Jesus says "will teach you all things." The Holy Spirit is supposed to interpret everything to us, not anyone or anything else, especially NOT our educated, systematized understanding we learn from man-made religious institutions.

Hermeneutics is good---I use it when the Holy Spirit tells me to---but we must rely 100 percent on the Holy Spirit. He teaches believers supernaturally and often beyond what the human mind can imagine. Relying on our own understanding tries to put God in a box, as well as the Spirit's realms and dimensions. It confines our minds to the earthly.

But, Can Our Minds Grasp that Much?

Some ask---creation, the spiritual realms, the supernatural and even brain neuroplasticity (possibilities with the 11 million bits of information the brain can process) are so vast and overwhelming, can our minds absorb them? Can we just forget about them and keep things simple? Can we not just satisfy ourselves with taking traditional medicines, what we've always known about our world and the universe, and the traditional church doctrines?

I'd rather see it this way. Remember, we're using our conscious mind rate of just 40 to 50 bits of info per second out of the God-designed 11 million bits of info per second, which is stashed away in our subconscious. What if we find a way to use all the 11-million per second mind rate in our conscious mind, because anyway, God intended it for our use? It can happen if we have solid, unadulterated faith to do it. God can allow things to happen "contrary to nature."

After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! [Romans 11.24]

Perhaps these bible passages answer this questions:

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.
[Proverbs 25.2]

I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. [Colossians 1].
