The Boy With The Incredible Brain

[The One]

This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world’s few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn a language in a week.

He also meets the world’s most famous savant, the man who inspired Dustin Hoffman’s character in the Oscar winning film ‘Rain Man’

This documentary follows Daniel as he travels to America to meet the scientists who are convinced he may hold the key to unlocking similar abilities in everyone.

Wow amazing

I've seen this guy many times and he's brilliant. What makes him different from the other savants is that he can communicate with us - very unusual. The brain is such a huge and wonderful thing. I wonder who - what power - is really in control .......?

Really astonishing talent. He look quite nice as well, gentle and nice. I wonder if his capacity for crirtical judgment is at par with math and language. It seems so if I rely on the scene in Las Vegas, where he decides to change tactic even if it does not make mathematical sense.

I wish we would have these abilities for all of us, adding to it telepathy. This would become a new world.

That's one amazing human! some people just make you glad you are alive and able to see them and what they can accomplish and he is like that.

His point in the three questions (and I'm only minutes in) regarding perception is: the lack of living in the now. If you live in the now, you can learn via perception, and learn frightfully fast. However, if you use your fear and desires... and project your past into the future, you leave no room for growth to get into you.

Really interesting!
I like it that scientists are trying to understand how this man's mind functions in an organic way. It is encouraging that approach of study is being pursued, as opposed to the black op approach to enhancing human performance artificially through bionics, implants, etc., which is unnatural and comes with the price tag of damaging side effects.

Yes! This ties perfectly into David Wilcocks concept of "tapping into the sourcefield" and that the brain is just a receiver and the spirit and informatio is all around us. Daniel even says his abilities are not supernatural but something we don't understand and that others also can "tap" into.

It's like having a sliding window, one that can be of given size. the window we each have, is of a certain clarity (how clear the information is), polarization (in human terms, polarization would be the slant or way we see things) and size (how big or complex of a data point or flow can come through the given hole, usually the consideration of the size or complexity of data point).

Now this level of clarity, level, orientation and type of polarization, and the given size of the window..is the deal --about what each of us has.

In my personal estimation, the cut-off for this given vehicle, that of being a human, is at about an IQ of about 225-250. (if basic 'intelligence' was to proceed at a similar pace as all the other aspects, like psychic connectivity)

After that, there is, from my perception, little point in being an incarnated being in a human avatar.

What I mean is, think of a paper towel tube, the cardboard tube that the paper towels are on. Imagine having access to all data that there is, universal computer style. Your avatar has a given size of tube, with a given opacity filter in it..and a polarized filter in it. And we look at universal information through that given individual tube we have. We can only see so much information at the one given moment, depending on our given individual tube.

In reality is it a conduit or dimensional connection, or sympathetic vibrational agreeance or similar, that we each have.

The filter, size and polarizing filter all shift about a bit according to how we hold ourselves (psychological balance/stance/position), how we feed ourselves (avatar or vehicle maintenance) and the astrological aspects also play a big part in the behavior/action condition of the given tube or filter's variables as it exists (in situ) -- across this dimensional boundary.


Edit:

Some of you may be bewildered by my use of the word agreeance. It is far more flexible for its application in these particular situations than the world agreement. Agreement, as words go...can cause complexities and different meanings to erupt, than what I intend.

Agreeance, is right brained (artistic flow). Agreement speaks of finalization, done deals, brained (linear minded). Agreeance means synchronicity of flow and connection, which is a continual action state as opposed to an act of finalization.

And that, in the context of how we attempt to hold ourselves, on this forum, is a HUGE difference in meaning.

Yet again, another thank you to the One for a truly interesting post. My only problem is making the time for all the viewing! This documentary though was exceptional - unlike other 'savants' or those with extreme autism he is able to communicate or express himself clearly which makes it so much easier for us.

However, I think, it is not only gaining a highly intellectual or even intuitive understanding of the cosmos that is the sole reason for going through the cycles of reincarnation.
As I understand it, before transcending the corporeal, we must develop and relate well to our environment and to other sentient beings on all levels--physical or sensual, social or tribal, intellectual, emotional, conceptual, intuitive and imaginative or spiritual.
The ancient science and practice of yoga (not just Hatha yoga, which is the physical asanas, or poses, but all the branches of yoga, which were designed to further growth on all levels) is about bringing all the chakras in balance. Each of the chakras represent one of those levels of consciousness.
Balance is necessary for a fully functional human being.

Another kind of imbalanced development can be witnessed in India.
I remember reading years ago about these tragic people in India who are referred to as "masts" or the "God-mad".
They devote themselves exclusively to experiencing Divinity directly.
They live in a state of delirious joy, but they are relatively oblivious to all else, and can even be dangerous to others.
They are often homeless, unwashed, incapable of interacting with others in a coherent fashion, and must be looked after by others.
They are revered because although they really are in a kind of enlightened state, they are also quite mad.
The "God mad" state does not lead to Moksha, or enlightened liberation, but to more cycles of birth and death, because it is an unbalanced state, not whole.

I think savants are another kind of imbalanced development. Not to say that to take that road is necessarily a mistake, but I don't think it necessarily leads to imminent transcendence of the cycle of human reincarnation.
