    Tuhan memang luar biasa!

    ... our brains can help us accomplish virtually anything we desire. The brain's capacity is nearly unfathomable. It's capable of processing up to 30 billion bits of information per second and it boasts the equivalent of 6000 miles of wiring and cabling.

    Typically the human nervous system contains about 28 billion neurons. Without neurons, our nervous systems would be unable to interpret the information we receive through our sense organs, unable to convey it to the brain and unable to carry out instructions from the brain as to what to do. These neurons act independently, but they also communicate with other neurons through an amazing network of 100,000 miles of nerve fibers.

    Each time we experience a significant amount of pain or pleasure, our brains search for the cause and record it in our nervous systems to enable us to make better decisions about what to do in the future.

    When we do something for the first time, we create a physical connection, a thin neural strand that allows us to re-access that emotion or behavior again in the future. Each time we repeat the behavior, the connection strengthens. Wih enough repetitions and emotional intensity, we can add many strands simultaneously, increasing the tensile strength of this emotional or behavioral pattern until eventually we have a 'trunk line' to this behavior or feeling.

    .... truly inspiring ....
