Over the centuries of evolution, humans have evolved physically (from apes to walking upright), have learnt and mastered the use of tools, art of language, and the technical know how. Now that we have reached a stage of stagnation as far as the physical evolution is concerned, the only domain to explore remains the ‘Power of Mind’. The food for the ‘mind’ is constant ‘learning’. With information within the brain travelling at a speed, way faster than the speed of light; each set of information / learning creates infinite combinations of synapses among st the 100 billion neurons and the trillions of dendrites comprising our brain, and all of this happening in less than just a split second. In the most sophisticated piece of machinery, i.e. the human body, stays the most sophisticated super computer weighing just about 1.5kgs, having more connections within it than the entire set of stars in the Universe. Being exposed to some 70,000 thoughts per day, with about 100,000 chemical reactions happening within it every second, and the information within it travelling @ 268 miles per hour, makes the human brain the most complex unresolved puzzle. The composition of the human mind in itself is nothing short of a miracle or a mystery. So, to say that the human mind is capable of manifesting whatever it can think of - is in any way no exaggeration.
Memory is formed once the synapse amongst the neurons and dendrites is complete, and that happens only with the process of constant learning and repetition. And the only ingredient to the perfect learning experience is FOCUS / CONCENTRATION. Scientifically and mathematically speaking, being a ‘Superhuman’ simply means to explore and constantly form the maximum number of permutations and combinations within the 100 billion neurons and some trillion dendrites. As much as this mathematical equation might sound complex, it is easily achievable through the simple means of focus and concentration.
All our scriptures and the yoga systems rigorously promote the concept of ‘concentration’. Our sages and the yogis were the greatest mystics of all times, and that was possible as they all explored the infinite mysteries of the human mind through the process of ‘concentration’. Sadly though, in the modern times, our education system promotes the concept of ‘concentration’, but doesn’t teach the same. What is called ‘concentration’ today, is nothing but the simple process of ‘MEDITATION’ that had been promoted by our scriptures since about some 5000 years ago. Although meditation has existed for over 5,000 years, the scientific community has only been studying meditation for over 50 years
