Lucy & The myth of the 10%

So by now I think everyone has seen the movie of Lucy. I was actually looking forward to see it. But like a lot of people was disappointed,  and not because it was a bad movie because it wasnt, just because I was expecting more of it. If you havent seen it, It’s based on humans using only 10% of our brains. Johansson’s character is implanted with drugs that allow her to access 100% of her brain capacity. She subsequently gains the ability to learn Chinese in an instant, beat up bad guys, and throw cars with her mind (among other new talents). Morgan Freeman plays neuroscientist Professor Norman, who’s built his career around the 10% claim. “It is estimated most human beings use only 10% of the brain’s capacity,” he says, “Imagine if we could access 100%"

Bastet The Devouring Lady

The goddess Bastet was usually represented as a woman with the head of a domesticated cat. However, up until 1000 BC she was portrayed as a lioness. Bastet was the daughter of Re, the sun god. It may have been through him that she acquired her feline characteristics. When Re destroyed his enemy Apep, he was usually depicted as a cat. As portrayed as a cat, she was connected with the moon (her son Khonsu was the god of the moon). When shown as a lioness, she is associated with sunlight.
