Default Re: How powerful is the human mind?

I read a book recently on how humans do have a 6th sense. The proximity sense. You know the feeling when someone is looking at you when your back is turned, then you turn around and of course they are? This is your proximity sense in action. A man was in a concrete room with no windows and one large cement door. The room was sound proof but he said he could tell when someone was outside it. He could also tell when someone was thinking about him too. Pretty hard to comprehend but almost everyone has experienced it.

Another example of just how awesome the brain is, is how capable humans are of understanding: it is said that if a person having never heard the language can figure out the rough meaning of it and the basic structure of the sentences. A man was asked to sit in a room and listen to a 3 minute long tape for 10 hours. The tape was in Thai and the man only spoke english and a bit of spanish. After he was asked what he thought they were saying on the tape and he told them all about the little boy being described on the tape.

Pretty interesting.
