Whenever an issue crops up about the power of the human mind, I am always reminded of what Dr Timothy Leary, one of the most revolutionary minds of his time about chaos and cyberculture, had asserted:

"It is a genetic imperative to explore the brain. Because it is there. If you are carrying around in your head 100 billion mainframe computers, you just have to get in there and learn how to operate them."

Interestingly, Dr Maxwell Maltz of the Psycho-Cybernetics fame echoed: 

"I think it is your personal imperative to invest the time, energy and study needed to better understand and use your mind, including your self-image power"! 

And so did Dr Win Wenger, who wrote, among other great classics, How to Increase Your Intelligence:

"...unless we are taught to use our brains, unless we understand how our brains work and their relationship to intelligence, we may never even approach truly intelligent functioning. Within all of us is the potential for genius. It is there for us to develop, to explore and to enjoy."! 

Bravissimo!
