Do u have any ideas of what kind of abilities u can do with ur body and soul?
Can we tame the elements, walk on water, build our own world/universe, etc?
We can already walk, swim, climb, some can see spirits and some can do OBE, etc.
There sure is, plenty more we can do.

That's exactly the same thing I keep asking myself..
Have we discovered all of our "abilities" yet? (I guess not..) If you see how the human body works (hormons, brain, etc..)
I guess there could be a lot more..

If you see how the human body works (hormons, brain, etc..) Well if you see that then you know we have reached the peak of what we can do for now there is no more to it I'm afraid. Unless we evolve some new organ or an extra lobe our bodies and brains are doing everything they can do.

We only ever use 10% of our brain...what if we use 11%? can that extra 1% open a new sense?
Some people who OD on certain drugs end up using closer to 30% of their brains (which typically cause them to go crazy and enter maddening rage) for a short period of time (typically just before death due to OD), but these people are also seen doing super human things such as having incredible strength, hardened skin and bones, impressive reflexes, and in some rare cases exemplified strategic planning.
We only have seen a few abilities of the brain, maybe there are more.

What if we forget about the body for a moment and focus on the soul, the aura/magnetic field, chakras, etc?

I think we can not really combine physically aspects with things like our soul (for example move things with our thoughts or something like that). But the interesting part about our brain is our fantasy I think. As Tyme4aNewDay said, we only use about 10 % of our brain and we already can imagine so incredible things. Just look at some awesome and totally crazy books or movies like "Alice in Wonderland". Those are mindblowing ideas and if we would use some percent more, than we could imagine whole new universes. Maybe our universe is just an imagination of a giant and incredibly intelligent troll?

Hmm...so how can we use more of our brain? by programming it?

Hmm...so how can we use more of our brain? by programming it? I think noone knows this yet... but maybe it's just a question of evolution. Just think of the Neanderthal men. I think they didn't use about 10 % of their brain. Maybe it just came with the years. So maybe in about 1000 years the human beings will have developed so far that they can use 15 % of their brains. I know, that sounds a little bit sad, because in this time we all don't live anymore. But I think it's the only thesis that makes sense and that I can think of. Do you have any idea?

Naturally speaking the only way for humans to use more of their brain is for the need to use more. If you look at the evolution of man, from Homo rudolfensis to Homo sapiens sapiens increased their brain volume as the need to use their brain became more of a necessity.
If everyone or physically connected society developed the need to use more of their brains then that group might evolve to a species that unlocked some of the hidden use of their minds.
Also, the 10% is a rough average, some people use more and some people use less, and it typically shows. Those who associate ideas or thoughts with concepts are more likely to use more, where as those who do many things that require only basic fact knowledge are in the 10th% area of brain usage.
This kind've makes me a bit happier inside since there is a person in one of my classes that makes it his responsibility to know all the facts (and subsequently shout them out in lecture to look smart). I am glad to know that while my classmates may miss some of the facts, they at least are using more of their brain by associating them correctly with different concepts.

No. It is an old wives tale and a common misconception. All healthy humans use the vast majority to all of their brain.

Ty for the clarification zlith. What the point of it all is, even though our brain is nearly entirely used for healthy bodily functions, thinking with more of our brain would open many doors as for the possibilities of cool things such as telekinesis, superior strength, walking on water, and other abilities should they be possible.

I'm going to sound quite mean right now, I feel its something I have to say.
I don't believe that we have souls, and I don't see a way in which the human brain would be able to do what you guys suggest it could. Specially after so many years and people that have spent their lives trying to prove such ideas and still we have no scientific proof of it ever working. I don't mean articles found on the internet, but real scientific studies that can be replicated. (Articles to disprove me from Journals are encouraged)
As for superior strength, muscles can only be stretched to a certain point, and has been proven. Walking on water, and telekinesis is trying to re-write physics, and as for the existence of spirits, well there isn't much to be found.
I'm not saying that the pursuit of advancement is a failed cause, or that things like meditation are useless, but deciding to trow away all the scientific advancements, years of research, and everything of what we know of the world, would not only be just fallacious, but an act of disgrace for the neurologists, physicists, and Science as a whole. From which our whole history, and foundations of the modern society, we live in, came to exist.
Yes, there is still much to be discovered, but instead of trying to bring down and rebuild our notions of the universe, shouldn't we elaborate on what already has been proven, and work from there?
Sorry again if this offended anyone, but that's the way I see it, and I wouldn't be true to myself if I had said anything differently.
P.S: Thinking with more of your brain is impossible, its like trying to think with your stomach. It was not made or has the capacities to do those kind of activities.

I think you put this in a well worded manner, also I agree with you on certain points like how we should advance and build apon the scientific ideas that have been proven. I would disagree with you on the fact "we can't go back rebuild our notions of the universe ". It is like Galileo and finding out the sun revolved around us and other astromers were wrong, all science must be checked.

We use nearly all of brains just not all at once which has been stated, in other news Humans do have "Super strength" the average human only uses about 40% of there over all muscle mass and in times of stress or dire need the brain can shut that limiter off at the cost of shutting down a couple of vital organs and your immune system for a couple of seconds for the extra juice.
Anyway we wont be developing super powers any time soon.
