Madonna --> Esther

Most people believe the studies that say people only use ten percent of their brain. Or that Humans in general are capable of more than the current mental standard. There are studies and examples all the time of ordinary people who do amazing things in tight circumstances. Or extraordinary people, who have capabilities beyond the normal, like Einstein, DaVinci, or Ken from Jeopardy, which regularly surprise their peers and help move understanding to a new level.

So, if most people believe this, then why don’t they strive to achieve more for themselves. I’m not talking about more in life, but more than simply, standard human behavior. More than ten percent. Eleven! Twelve! Why don’t I make every effort to improve myself beyond what is currently, culturally accepted as our limits? There are instruction manuals everywhere you turn: yoga, meditation, the Bible, drugs, everywhere on the internet. But which is the true path, and which the medicine show? Most people don’t care. They might pick a church and have full faith in its teachings, but never actualize the root meaning into their everyday lives. The afterlife is the place for personal improvement, this life is for suffering. But can I bestow upon me greater abilities and understanding, or what some might call super natural powers, through well-directed effort? It would be a worthy goal. So why don’t I even attempt the journey? Maybe the enlightened are enlightened simply because they honestly looked for enlightenment. That is the only tool necessary, and there are few who dare to wield it. Like Madonna.

Or maybe it is very late, and sleep is what I need.
