Is It True That The Average Human Uses Only 10% Of Their Brain? If So How Do We Function Properly?

Only 10% of the human mind is conscious; the rest is unconscious,
which means that we have a very small perecentage with which to reason,
rationalise, understand etc. at the conscious level. As a counsellor, I
work a lot with clients to try to uncover unconscious motivation because
personally, I don't like the idea that my actions, feelings, choices are
governed by such a large mind of my mind that I don't even know about!
That is ultimately the purpose of therapy - to bring more and more up into
the light of consciousness. It is a slow, sometimes painful journey but
ultimately very rewarding.
I've answered your question broadly in psychological terms as that's my
field. I suggest you read Carl Jung's writings for more clarification and
any basic psych. book will give you the details you seek. Check up the
`Johari window' which is a very interesting approach to the subject.
