Question Posted Thursday September 10 2009, 8:48 pm
I recently learned i have the gift of knowledge. Not normal knowledge but not like einstein. I know things it took adults 40 years to learn and i am 13. my mom says knowledge is a wonderful gift.
1. can i use my knowledge to maybe gain supernatural powers? or make myself dtronger or something.
2. How can i use my knowledge. it's cool to know things but it's sort of a boring gift (not that i don't love it.) what can i do with it that is interesting? and dont say find a cure for cancer or something scientific or mathematical.
** Do not answer number 1 if you do not believe in those things please.

I could get really into but instead I'll suggest a book that explains it much better than I ever could. It's called "The Secret" - its well known, and is about using the power of thoughts to become what you want to be in life or basically,getting what you want by focusing in on it an visualizing having the thing you want. Many people do this on a daily basis,but don't realize they are. See the book goes into much more detail and I think you'd find it worth reading :). You can pick it up at any bookstore, again its well known so it could even be at a local Walmart.
As for question 1, I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know if you can use your knowledge in this way. Simply because I've never tried and I don't have such knowledge to even attempt XD. Your best bet is doing what you do best - learning how you can focus your mind to do these things. I'm sure if you look up "the power of thoughts" on google something will show up.
The making yourself stronger thing- in a sence, you can make yourself stronger..but not in the way you think. See, from what I'm interpreting from your question is you asking if you can make yourself stronger from just telling yourself you will become stronger,and you're brain will automatically make you stronger because of this. Well, that couldn't happen no matter how hard we all try, because with no input there can be no output. However,like I said, if you focus very hard you could trick your brain into thinking its easier to do the things you need to make yourself stronger. And if you focus on wanting that goal,it could come to you faster. Not just strength,that was just an example,but anything. You have to believe you can achieve what you want by your thoughts though,so try not to have any doubts when your focusing. Think, if it's going to happen, it's GOING to happen!
2. Use your knowledge in every way you can and in everything! Expand on your gift as much as you can,keep learning, ask yourself questions! Think up of theories of things- use it to excel at what you are interested in doing in the future! There's so many things it's impossible to give you just one example,not to mention I don't know what you like or who you are xD.
Anyways I've writen a lot and I'm hoping you pick up that book, good luck bright fellow! xD

Supernatural means 'not of the natural world'. By its own definition, the supernatural is cannot be proven to exist.
We can't have 'knowledge' about it, because it's not part of the world that we use as the basis for all reliable knowledge. You learn through experience, through observation, through testing what works and what doesn't. The supernatural IS supernatural, because it CAN'T be subjected to that kind of learning. Reliable knowledge about the supernatural is impossible.
The moment something is possible, testable, observable and measurable, it is part of the NATURAL world, and is no longer supernatural.
The only knowledge one can have about the supernatural, is called faith, because it can’t be tested or proven: It’s faith. It’s belief. Some people call it wisdom, but whatever it is, it’s imperfect knowledge.
If you devote yourself to a particular kind of knowledge: physics for instance, maybe someday you WILL be able to do something we think of right now as supernatural, like fly, or travel faster than the spread of light. But the way those things are discovered are through natural means. People created plans and lasers through perfect natural means, using metals and mirrors and taking advantage of natural phenomena. Now we understand lasers as perfectly natural, but for a long time they would have been call supernatural. Or take the Northern Lights, for example. We used to think those were supernatural or magical, now, with more knowledge, we know they are perfectly natural occurrences with a very good explanation.
You too can explain the unexplainable, and turn magic into reality, but don’t try to do it through some sort of magical, mystical, super-hero way: Do the way Einstein did it. His theories changed what millions of people thought was possible in this universe. James Watt invented the steam engine. Nikolaus Otto invented the internal-combustion engine! They did by applying their knowledge about the natural world and they changed the lives of everyone who can after them. There is still so much of the natural world waiting to be explored and explained. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

And what the hell did I tell YOU?
I never said I didn't believe, bozo.
I just gave you a reality check. Get over it.
The saying "knowledge is power" means that knowledge gives you the ability to make something of yourself, and/or do wonderful things in this life.
It doesn't mean power in the supernatural form. You are either born with that sort of ability or you aren't. If you want to make yourself stronger physically, you work out. If you want to make yourself stronger mentally, you study.
Everyone has the ability to learn things early if they strive to do so.
Everything else you seek is pretty much just sci-fi.
