Well, if you use hypnosis, then yes, you can recover the forgotten memories, but memory by itself (without the use of hypnosis) is sort of like that disease (where memory detirirorates(sp?)) Once the memory starts to fade, it's hard to get back, unless there is some medication for it.
But it's hard to bring back memories of people in their first 2 years of their life, especially when they aren't challenge/challeneged enough in any fundamental study. It's hard to say exactly how much of the subconscious we use though, and what it exactly is.
Alzheimer's Disease....where the brain undergoes rapid memory loss. However, I don't believe that a memory can simply "fade" or "disappear." They're stored in the subconscious, and that's what gets tapped into with hypnosis. When someone undergoes a traumatic experience and becomes "afflicted" with amnesia, his or her memories do not "fade away," but fade out of the conscious. The only way to recover it would be either time or hypnosis. It wouldn't make sense that memories "fade away," because then that would mean that it would be impossible to remember them. You would have to try and "recreate" the memory, but that's not possible unless some form of mental residue remains in order to rebuild the memory. Therefore, that's why I believe that all memories are stored in the subconscious....whether or not you're "motivated" enough to remember a memory, it's still stored in the subconscious, and can indeed be accessed via various techniques, hypnosis being one of them.

Now I have a question for all of you. presently, Stephen Hawking, is the smartest human. He is handicapped from the neck-down, and I commented on how when the neurons from the body function don't work, they go to another part of the brain (which is one reason why he is so smart), now let's say I make my body not work well (by injection), is this a closer step to the next stage? As you said, Joe, that the next stage is when our physical attributes decline and are mental attributes rise.
That would indeed be what I was talking about, but would not be evolution, as it does not affect the genes or chromosomes. It would be, however a morphological change. You would not be of a different specie of human, but you would merely be different. In other words, it is not a character trait that can be passed on from generation to generation. It would be a next step in a way, but not via evolution.

Now think of this.. what is motion.. the movement of a particle.
Newton in his first law of motion stated that a body would continue in its present motion or remain at rest until an external force is acted upon by it. I hope I got that right.. Don't have much time to research on it right now. Anyway, for the brain to habilitate telekinesis and actually produce motion, the so-called untapped potential in our medula oblogota has to be transformed to kinetic energy.. which in turn does not seem possible. However I'm open to criticism.. and if anyone can tell me how on earth or heaven it is possible for us to become psionic or psychic.. so to say.
This is the way I see it:
We are already able to manipulate matter using our physical abilities. My brain sends orders to my arm that makes me lift my arm, extend my hand, and grasp a ball of clay, then I can grip the ball of clay to crush it using my fingers. All are activities of the body controlled by the brain.
Now, my theory is rather sketchy, but it should still make sense. WHAT IF the brain was able to send these types of signals OUTSIDE the body? To create say...a field of energy produced by the brain. So instead of the brain sending a signal to the arm, hand and fingers in order to manipulate an object, the brain sends the signals to the object itself, and the energy is capable of physical contact.
For example, look at Star Wars. When Luke uses the Force, he extends his hand towards the object and concentrates, and the object can be levitated. WHAT IF human telekinesis was similar? That the brain's signals would give an impression on the outside environment that the arm, hand and fingers were longer. Therefore, even though you may not think you're physically touching an object 5 feet away from you, your brain is making it happen by using energy and tricking the environment into "thinking" that it's actually being manipulated.
I'm not quite informed enough to be able to say things that actually make sense, but it's a sketchy theory though.

I'll refer back to Nantuko's predictions of the past.. You said that our bodies do not need to evolve anymore, for we have developed a sort of equilibrium with our environment and quick evolution doesn't seem plausible.. except a slow and gradual evolution of our cranial.. or better put mental abilities.
If indeed this was a misquote.. I stand corrected.. but I don't for a second think our body would become any stronger than it is due to evolution.. no matter how slow or gradual the process might seem
It wasn't a misquote, simply a slight misinterpretation of information. True, that I theorize that physical evolution has slowed, I mean as in an evolution of our body structures. For example, earlier forms of pre-human primates had tails, but they were no longer needed. Therefore, over time, we evolved physical bodies without tails. Now, various physical features such as texture of the skin, enhancement of our five senses, things like that, could indeed be part of human "advancement," simply because they could possibly be results of environmental changes that force our bodies to change. For instance, growing amounts of pollution may cause our lungs to change in order to become better filters of the air around us. The changes will be morphological at first, but may end up evolving into genetic traits that can be passed on to create a better form of human being.
We havn't FULLY adapted to our environment, I apologize for not elaborating on that. For the MOST PART we have, but there are still aspects of our environment that are harmful and we are not used to, that could still warrant slight physical changes to our anatomy in order to adapt.
