Slave Species of god

by Michael Tellinger

  Someone, somewhere at some stage in the past made a careless statement, that we only use 10% of our brains. The media immediately jumped on it and the lie has been immortalised in pop-science, pulp-fiction articles ever since. But there are a number of interesting examples to keep the theory alive. I must draw attention to the subtle difference in such claims, by scholars who approach it from the point that the brain’s potential is infinite. Their statements are therefore merely expressions of support for the ‘infinite brain’concept.

  NEURON

  The possibility that the human is only 10% functional, at best, was outlined by Australian neurology Nobel laureate sir John Eccles. But as I mentioned, his statements came from the assumption that 'the brain indicates its powers are endless'.

  Another scientist called John Lorber performed a number of autopsies in England on hydrocephalics. This condition basically causes large parts of brain tissue to be dissolved by acidic spinal fluid. He tested the IQs of patients before and during the disease. His findings showed that IQ remained constant up to death, even though more than 90% of brain tissue was destroyed by the disease. It had no impact on what is considered to be normal intelligence.

  In Russia, a neurosurgeon called Alexandre Luria, showed that the bulk of frontal lobes are mostly dormant, when he physically proceeded to cut out large parts of frontal lobes from humans. He also gave them physiological and psychological tests, before and after cutting out parts, and he even went as far as removing entire frontal lobes from patients. His conclusion was, that while it had some effect on mood patterns, it caused no major change in brain function. I believe that experiments like these most likely had a lot to do with the ‘10% brain activity’mania.

  In higher mammals there are large parts of the brain which seem to be associated with intelligence, personality and higher mental activity. Neuroscientists have developed a number of imaging techniques to study the activity inside the brain, like positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography (CT).

  CT uses X-rays to discern normal brain geography from tumours and other abnormalities, while MRI reveals brain structure by detecting radio waves that are deflected by tissues in a strong magnetic field; and PET detects gamma rays emitted by radioactively-labelled chemicals as they rush to active sites in the brain. Another technique, which is known as magneto encephalography, involves measuring the magnetic currents that are generated by the electrical impulses in the brain. All of the different approaches to imaging in the brain give us some insight into brain activity and functionality, but it leaves humans far short of understanding the true complexity of this organ.

  Many tests have been done trying to determine how much of the brain we actually use but scholars seem to differ on this estimation. Some say that we use about 10% of our brain, some are as bold as saying that we use up to 20%, but the more cautious ones claim that 3-4% is much closer to the probable truth. There seems to be no specific scientific finding or origin for any of these statements. This sudden interest in the capacity of the brain may have originally been stimulated when scientists performed basic experiments with rats, and found that rats could perform most of their normal functions with as little as 2% of their cerebral cortex intact. Various extrapolations of these statements may have caused this brain usage debate, which was mainly fuelled by the media and others who wanted to capitalise on such disinformation. The truth is, we probably use all of our brain. This has been illustrated by many of the previously mentioned imaging techniques over the years. Neuroscientists have now pretty much mapped the anatomy of the brain and identified the functions of each section. Upon examining the map of the brain, you will realise that we know which part of the brain is responsible for various functions and there is not much brain left, which could be called idle. But the fact is, although it seems that the whole brain is active in countless stimuli and responses, there is no scientific way in which we can measure the amount of brain we use. At the same time, there is also no method to date, which can measure the full capacity of the brain. So we should rather be asking what the capacity of the brain is, instead of how much of the brain we actually use.

  The two approaches are philosophically opposed. The one approach assumes that the brain capacity is finite and aims to measure the current usage, while the other suggests that our brain capacity could be infinite.

  Many scientists claim that nutrition plays a key role in the performance and possibly evolution of the brain. Much has been written about healthy diets with very specific dietary instructions to help certain conditions. While diet and nutrients undoubtedly play a crucial role in the health and smooth performance of the brain, it is impossible to claim any long term evolutionary benefits from such treatment. It would be equivalent to saying that a daily moisturising regime will make you immortal. The one thing that many scientists seem to agree on, is that around 200,000 years ago, the human brain underwent a dramatic evolutionary change. Various theories for this sudden increase in brain size and intelligence have had scientists guessing and speculating for years. The popular theory doing the rounds is one of high seafood intake.

  THE HUMAN BRAIN

  The different functions of the left brain and the right brain have been well documented. Here are some examples:

  Left Brain Functions Right Brain Functions

  Written language Insight

  Number skills 3-D forms

  Reasoning Art awareness

  Spoken language Imagination

  Scientific skills Music awareness

  Right-hand control Left-hand control

  Let’s take a quick look inside the brain and at some crucial statistics:

  The brain is involved in everything you do, either voluntarily or involuntarily. As was pointed out before, some of the involuntary activities that are controlled by the brain are your heartbeat, breathing and coughing, or better described as all the things that need to continue functioning while you sleep. The voluntary activities are all the things you do consciously, like walking, writing, talking, smiling.

  When your brain functions properly, you function properly as a well-synchronised unit. But when your brain hits a few bumps it can manifest itself in a multitude of unwanted side effects. The brain is active from the moment you are born to the day you kick the bucket. If it had to shut down for even a second, all the involuntary functions in your body would shut down too. Something as simple as breathing or your heart beat, would basically put an end to you if your brain had to stop functioning. And because the brain is so active and never stops, it consumes about 20-30% of the body’s energy. To achieve such a high consumption of blood, it is serviced by about 400 miles of capillaries delivering a constant supply of oxygen, glucose and other nutrients. So if you want to lose weight you have to think harder. There are about 100 billion neurons or nerve cells in the brain. Alcohol and drugs destroy these cells by the millions. They do grow back however. Each neuron or nerve cell is connected to other nerve cells in the brain, by hundreds or even thousands of connections, called dendrites. It is estimated that there are over 1,000,000,000,000,000 (Ten to the power of fourteen, 1014) connections in the brain, more connections than there are stars in the Milky Way. The brain is more complicated than any computer we can imagine. The reason we can make such a silly comparison, is because we now know that the brain’s capacity is infinite.

  A single neuron can produce almost a tenth of a volt electrical charge, and the total electrical activity in your brain can easily be measured with an electroencephalogram (EEG). This allows us to actually measure brain activity and test the activity under various stimuli. Just like the other cells in your body, the brain cells also start to decline and die after a certain period. The receptors also decline with age. The neurotransmitter serotonin interacts with at least 15 different receptors in the body but after the age of about 20, one of serotonin’s most common receptors starts to decline and vanishes from the human brain at about 15% per decade, which may
be why depression commonly appears in middle-age.

  Scientists believe that humans underwent a major brain change around 200,000 years ago. What could have caused the sudden and dramatic change in human brains? The suggestion that a high seafood diet was the cause of this sudden change is silly and makes no scientific sense at all. There had to be a more dramatic event that caused such a major change in the brains of our ancestors. There is emerging evidence supported by genetic and mitochondrial dating, which seems to point to such a dramatic event. It seems that scientists in all fields of expertise are constantly providing us with more evidence of our human ancestry, but most of us are totally oblivious to the evidence that surrounds us. Keep in mind that the coincidental facts of mitochondrial Eve and chromosomal Adam were both dated back to around 200,000 years ago. Just a coincidence, or another piece of the human puzzle that fits perfectly? Those scientists who ascribe this sudden brain change to dietary habits of the ancient Homo sapiens, are saying that those who ate more seafood evolved bigger brains over millions of years. They compare the small brains of inland Australopithecus some 2 million years ago, to Homo sapiens some 200,000 years ago. Can you see the problem here? These changes in brain size happened suddenly, as if overnight. They are more easily explained by genetic manipulation than gradual evolution due to high fish consumption. Besides, the two species have no connection in their evolutionary lines anyway. This kind of theory is a clear indication of how resistant some sectors of the scientific fraternity are to new discoveries that challenge the conventional way of thinking. Homo habilis (handy man) was the first of the genus Homo, who lived between 2.2 and 1.6 million years ago, with an average brain size of 500 - 750 ml. The next in line was Homo erectus, around 2 million - 400,000 years ago, with a brain capacity of 800 - 900 ml. Then suddenly around 200,000 years ago, a new species appears out of the blue with a brain 55% bigger. This calls for some serious investigation, since Darwin believes that evolution does not happen in jumps. How is it possible that such a species could miraculously appear; be able to think; able to reason and able to calculate? There must be more plausible theories for this phenomenon.

  Scientists go on trying to substantiate their big-brain theory by comparing the high fish intake of humans some 28,000 years ago in central Europe. Neanderthals had a low seafood intake surviving mostly on meat from inland animals, and this is why they were outlived by Homo sapiens, who had a high Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid intake. The crucial mistake they make here, is that fossilised evidence has clearly shown that Homo neanderthalensis had a larger brain than Homo sapiens, by between 5% to 10%. Scientists have also proved that a high seafood intake dramatically reduces the levels of depression among its population. North American and European populations showed a rate of depression 10 times greater than a Taiwanese population who consumed a lot of fish. The Japanese, whose diet is also rich in fish, have a significantly lower incidence of depression compared to North Americans and Europeans. Once again, these are simply cosmetic reactions by the brain which will have no effect on how the genome has been programmed. This theory will need more evidence which points to DNA restructuring or some form of evolution to make it stick. Putting make-up on your face will not keep you immortal.

  So while it may be true that fats build your brain, and proteins unite it, carbohydrates fuel the brain, and micronutrients defend it, the real miracle lies in the fact that your DNA planted the programmed code at your point of conception, which allowed your brain to grow into its fully functional form. As incredible an organ as the brain may be, it is ultimately controlled by the genome, just like every other minute aspect of our being.

  It does seem that the brain may have a limitless capacity for higher functions not yet understood by humans. A variety of unexplained psychic abilities have been demonstrated by large numbers of individuals. These are more often than not looked upon as ‘freaks of nature’and not regarded as a possible higher state of evolution which needs closer attention. We can look at the brain as the ‘interface’ between the physical and the spiritual; our body and our soul. Somehow, some individuals have mastered these higher brain activities without knowing how and why. This adds another mysterious element to the Great Human Puzzle. How and why have some people cultivated ESP skills? It makes complete sense to me that while the genome is evolving towards its own completion, it keeps unlocking parts of our brain, allowing us to perform higher mental functions.

  So if the brain is indeed the physical ‘interface’between body and spirit, it will take a lot more evolution on our behalf to understand it. Remember, the genome and the spirit cannot evolve at individual speeds. So while the genome controls the rate of evolution of the brain, it is then by default also the genome that ultimately dictates the pace at which the soul is allowed to evolve while trapped in our human body. Like the laws of osmosis, where the two concentrations on either side of the membrane will eventually reach a state of equilibrium, but only if the membrane is permeable and allows these to cross. Our DNA will allow the spirit in our bodies to mix with the greater spirit in the universe, in bite-size chunks, as we evolve and as we learn to deal with our newfound knowledge.

  All this strange activity in the ancient past that caused our brains to suddenly expand, goes a long way to substantiate that there must have been some kind of genetic manipulation involved. The kind of manipulation which was revealed to us in ancient clay tablets written somewhere between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago. This new emerging information has found favour with only a handful of broad thinkers. Many archaeologists, historians and anthropologists are very nervous about dealing with such sudden leaps in philosophy. But I hope to show you a steady, cohesive trail of evidence that points to the placement of an advanced race of beings, right here on Earth at the time when our brains had so miraculously expanded. Not only did they leave behind written evidence of their genetic manipulation, but they actually explain in great detail the reasons why they needed to create a ‘primitive worker’on this planet.

  Just think about how many times people say to you ‘I don’t know if I want to hear that… it sounds too horrendous’. That is really an honest admission that they are not ready to receive certain information. When it comes to new truths regarding our origins and spirituality, people are not that polite about it. The majority of the world’s population is not yet ready to face these new emerging facts, even if they were asked to contemplate them only as a theory to begin with. On the contrary, most people will reject any such utterances with high levels of contempt. After all, they know exactly where they come from and who their god is, clearly displaying the power of our pre-programmed genome to keep humanity obedient and fearful of their maker.

  So what have we learnt in this chapter? That the brain is an infinitely complex organ with a capacity for processing knowledge and information that goes way beyond our imagination. All the mystique around the brain raises the possibility that it is an interface between the physical and the spiritual worlds. Regardless of its complexity, the programme for its development comes from the genome. Around 200,000 years ago the brain underwent a dramatic increase in size, just about at the time when the Anunnaki created ‘Adamu’ according to the Sumerian tablets. The sudden increase in the Homo sapiens brain could not have occurred due to millions of years seafood consumption. The human race uses only a fraction of its brain, which is strictly controlled by our genome. All this leads to some crucial questions to close this chapter with. What will our mental and spiritual capacity be when our genome has fully evolved? Who were the Anunnaki? Why and how did they create Humankind?

  CHAPTER 4

  A Journey Back in Time

  If we don’t know where we come from, how can we possibly know where we are going? So in this chapter we will attempt to find pointers in both directions. We need to dig deep into our prehistory before we start gazing far into the future. Fortunately we have been handed loads of knowledge by our advanced ancestors. Information that paints a very clear picture of exactly who we ar
e and where we are heading as a species. All of this is possible because of hereditary DNA transfer, combined with thousands of clay tablets filled with historic entries which have been treated either as mythology or the mutterings of primitive folk with nothing better to do.

  So at the risk of becoming repetitive, let me remind you that to know where we are going, we need to know where we come from. To start our journey back in time, we need to retrace the steps of modern humans and use all the resources available, including knowledge and information from prehistoric scriptures, which may have previously been dismissed as garbage. The Sumerian tablets have been a fascinating revelation and a source of mysterious knowledge. So little is known about prehistory, about the time before time, that when new dramatic evidence rises to the surface, it can sound so fantastical to us modern humans in the 21st century, that we refuse to accept it. We all talk about Greek and Roman mythology, we know their gods and we even know their designations; Venus, Pluto, Mercury, Isis, Thor, Apollo and the all-powerful Zeus, just to remind you of a few. But were these just fairy tale heroes from ancient times or were they really beings with superior powers? The Sumerian tablets tell us that these were real gods and not imaginary names for forces of nature. The names might have changed from civilisation to civilisation, but their influence has shaped all of humanity to date.

  Just when I sat down to start writing this chapter, I had visitors who popped in on a Saturday afternoon. We relaxed with a chilled glass of wine by the pool and the subject of evolution and our ancestry came up. I asked my friends what they thought of evolution, and what they know about our ancient prehistory, and how and when we became human. Jana, immediately expressed her understanding that we became human when we jumped out of the trees and started walking upright. Clearly not an opinion based on any levels of credible research, and yet, probably a very similar perception shared by many others who have had the misfortune of being brainwashed by the modern education system. Anton, on the other hand, was a bit more reserved and unsure of the answers, but he was sure that the evolutionist had got it right and that we evolved from some sort of ape-like species over millions of years.
