[tag-tec]Consciousness[/tag-tec], programmed by the typical attitudes and beliefs of modern rationalistic man, is grievously limited. It has been estimated that, at best, most people do not utilize more than 10 percent of their [tag-tec]mental[/tag-tec] capacity.

Our educational system has taught us how to measure up to certain external criteria of learning only. We learn our A B C’s, how to read and write, and similar skills. The adequacy of our learning is measured by our scores on standardized achievement tests rather than the degree to which we utilize our own unique neural circuits for our individual goals. Our educational system as yet has little or no means of training and measuring the individual’s ability to utilize his own unique behavioral matrix and associative processes even though this internal ability is of the essence in creativity and personality development.

[tag-ice]Consciousness[/tag-ice] is thus programmed to meet outer consensual standards of achievement, while all that is unique within the individual remains in abeyance. That is, most of our individuality remains unconscious and unknown. Most of us simply do not know how to utilize our individual capacities.
