It is an absolute myth that people do not use pretty much 100% of their brains.
Though there are still parts whose function we are not aware of, it has been observed over and over again that when a part of the brain is doing nothing, it starts changing to do things you need more of. Thus, even blind people use the vision-centers of their brain... they have just stopped being vision-centers and started being used for other purposes!
Likewise, if every neuron were active in your brain at once, the result would not be better thought, but chaos. It would be like trying to write sentances using every word in the language at once or like trying to run a computer by activating every circuit in it at once. We know for a fact that this is so because some people DO this... the result is called a 'grand mal' seizure (I've had them, and I wouldn't recommend it).
The source of this myth is not entirely known... it may have to do with having only a small portion of your neurons actually firing at any moment in time, or with the small ratio of neurons to other cells in your brain. It's irrelevant either way - there are simply no portions of your brain that sit around unused.
Studies of Einstein's brain likewise found NO DIFFERENCES OF ANY KIND for over 20 years. Modern analysis suggests that it actually is completely missing certain areas and has less neurons... so maybe less is actually more in this case.

We already do. The idea that we use only about 10% of our brain was based upon the notion that only neurons (which constitute around 10% of our brain) play an active role in thinking and that the multiple types of glial cells (the remaining 90%) only acted as scaffolding and as supporting cells for the neurons. It is now known that this is not the case, and that glial cells actually play an active role in human cognizance, so we definitely use most of our brain already.

If any one use much of the brain power the can forecast the future and travel Astral body and speak 2 Angels.
In science only Einstein used 4% of brain power, in other term yogi's, prophets may used much, for get the power they meditate for years.

I really think the human mind is capable of incredible feats of thought alone, like changing the physical with the power of the mind, reading people's minds, out-of-body travel and Jesus-like miracles of healing and love. I believe we always had this ability, but we lost it when we got kicked out of the Garden.

They will be out casted, mutilated or worshiped right or wrong.
That is too much weight for one person to handle alone. A group or all would be ideal.
lol
