Supposedly, the larger the brain, the more intelligent the species, but is this really true? Albert Einstein’s brain was smaller than normal, yet he was a genius in his own right.

What would happen if your brain were only five percent as large as normal, well, in some cases nothing at all.

There are case studies involving victims of an ailment known as hydrocephalus, more commonly known as water on the brain. These studies were done by British neurologist John Lorber. The results of these studies contain some amazing facts.

This is a quote from KeelyNet concerning the work of John Lorber.

a colleague at Sheffield University became aware of a young man with a larger than normal head. He was referred to Lorber even though it had not caused him any difficulty. Although the boy had an IQ of 126 and had a first class honours degree in mathematics, he had “virtually no brain”. A noninvasive measurement of radio density known as CAT scan showed the boy’s skull was lined with a thin layer of brain cells to a millimeter in thickness. The rest of his skull was filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The young man continues a normal life with the exception of his knowledge that he has no brain.

The name of this writing is “Where is Consciousness? There is another paper about the same subject at Do You Really Need To Have A Brain?”

So the question persists: Where is Consciousness? If mankind could get by with a much smaller brain, then why don’t we have smaller brains. Could this tiny portion of a brain create a conscious personality as mainstream science now believes it can, I don’t think so. Consciousness is not in the brain, we, you and I, are our own consciousness’ and we are not created by the brain.

Science has never shown any physical evidence of memory stored in the brain. Think of the huge amount of memory we humans use every day in the normal course of work and play, could a tiny, tiny brain store such memory and still have space to create our personalities. The answer is no way.

Out of body experiences, and near death experiences indicate we are separate entities from our brain and body. Research and documented veridical near death experiences show good evidence that we will remain alive and well after the death of the body.

It may take a few years for mainstream science to catch up with the research, but reality will win out in the long run.
