The Treasure House of Power
1990 1 January 10 The Treasure House of Power (351) The human brain is the most extraordinary of all God’s gifts to man. But even the greatest scientists have been unable to use it to the fullest extent. Considering that in the brain we have the most powerful machine in the world, let us make supreme efforts to put it to full use so that humanity should go from success to success. With such a “machine” in our possession, there should never be even the merest whisper of failure.
The brain is a fabulous mechanism. About the size of half a grapefruit, it can record 800 memories a second for the average 75 years many of us live, without exhausting itself. The human brain retains everything it takes in and never forgets anything. Even though we don’t recall all the information received, everything is on permanent file in our brain. If a computer to match the brain’s potential was built, it would occupy space comparable to the size of the Empire State Building (1,250 feet tall) and need 1,000,000,000 watts of electrical power to run. The cost would be equally immense. The mind is one of God’s most amazing gifts to man. Yet most people use only a small fraction of their mental ability. For many, the power remains largely untapped.
(The Plain Truth, October 1988 p. 29)
The human brain is the most extraordinary gift of God to man. But even the greatest of scientists, are able to use it only partially. In the form of the brain, you possess the most powerful machine in the world. Put it to full use and you will never have to complain of failure.
