The only difference between the animal called “human” and the other animals is the abnormal evolution its brain underwent over the course of millennia. And that brain has been capable of creating everything: it even created answers to its own questions, like the explanation of a God who created everything, even them.

But that is not what this piece is about. The human being has never been able to develop all the capabilities its brain possesses. And I am not referring only to intelligence, to learning, or to storing “data” like a hard drive: the brain’s principal function — and the reason why human beings refuse to classify themselves within the “animal kingdom” — is that small capacity to master, overcome, or lose the “natural instincts.”

The species that lies furthest outside the Natural Order, and that little by little keeps drifting further away from it, is the human. There is no room here for arguments about races, which are merely subdivisions of a single species. In general, the hominid with a developed brain, the one that has a “civilization,” already stands at a point quite far removed from the Natural Order.

Is that bad? It depends. Natural evolution, at the outset, was not meant for living but for surviving: the natural capacity of each species. Every animal evolved something: the feline its speed, the eagle its eyesight… the human being evolved its brain.

The brain is in constant evolution; it is one of the few things that, over the years, keeps evolving in the human being. But today we have a great problem: civilization, “Western culture” — as it is “vulgarly” called — modernism, call it whatever you like. I mean Hollywood, fashion, music, urban cultures, and even studies, philosophies, religions, and beliefs.

There are special parts in the brain; the pineal gland, for example, or the activation of one hemisphere more than the other — from my point of view, the most important one. These parts remain inactive because of the global distraction that exists. Control goes beyond mere paper money or territories: of all the members of the animal kingdom, only the human can think, and those who have managed to manipulate even the slightest detail know that the first thing they must disarm in a population, or in the masses, is their brain — the only one in constant evolution and the only difference that grants “superiority” over the other animals.

How much can the brain do? Several scientists have affirmed hundreds of times that it is not used to its full capacity, and even today it is impossible to know the function of several of its parts; we only know some of its characteristics.

The brain is not just a natural organ: it is an instrument that makes us “gods,” and it lies asleep. The mind holds much power, beyond the unimaginable: it can even convert energy; it is an “apparatus” that transmits and even “generates” energy. And we must not forget the importance of “energy” in scientific areas such as physics. I could not describe everything the brain can do, but I acknowledge its importance.

And that is the crux of the matter: as long as we keep asleep the only thing that makes us different, we will keep drifting away from the Natural Order without ever having used the only advantage we have.
