We're simply not developed enough, spiritually or physically, to access it yet. We're still babies in the universal sense...a whole lotta growing left to do.

False premise, false conclusion.
We are not the only kind of living beings that can think.
It's a myth that we use only a small part of our brain.

We are not the only creatures that "think," in fact it is well known that apes use tools much like human beings(albeit primitive tools.) They have been seen using sticks to pull ant's out of logs to eat and most recently have even been observed using rocks as hammers to crush the shells of nuts in order to eat those as well. That type of behavior would require problem solving skills which of course involves thinking.

sure we are the only living things that can do complex equations and stuff, but we (living things) all can think.
we use all of our brain. most of its reserved for keeping you alive and other stuff. you know, keeping your blood flow.. breathing (although this one can be done on command).. we only actively use a small portion.

WHERE did you get the erroneous idea that humans are the only ones that can think ?
Wrong ! ! !
AND WHAT would being the only one have to do with the portion of gray matter used ?
I do not get the connection ?
A wrong supposition & a non-sequiter link . . .

That is an urban legen, we use far more than 10% of our brain
