New Book: Déjà Vu & Other Spiritual Gifts (Click to see on Amazon.com)
By Neuroscientist Todd Murphy
Déjà Vu is a spiritual gift, and there are others waiting for you in the same place – your brain and mind. If you have Déjà Vu often, then you probably also have other gifts, like sensing presences when you’re alone, or tingling in your hands. It also gives simple instructions about how to open your psychic “sight”, go deeper into prayer, learn to heal by laying on hands, and other skills that use your spiritual gifts.
Sacred Pathways: The Brain’s Role In Religious and Mystic Experiences
By Neuroscientist Todd Murphy
By Todd Murphy
Foreword by H.H. the Dalai Lama
Foreword by Dr. Michael A. Persinger
506 pages, paperback
See it HERE
A new integration of science and spirituality based on brain activity and human evolution. Sacred Pathways explains how the brain areas that support Near-Death Experiences are also the basis for mystic experience during our lives.
“Sacred Pathways is the Principia (“book of basic principles”) or (“first work”) of the scientific investigation of spiritual experiences. … Individuals who appoint themselves protectors of “true knowledge” may find this book disquieting.” – Dr. Michael A. Persinger
“In this book, Professor Todd Murphy recounts what he has discovered about the brain’s role in religious and mystic experience; findings that interested readers will no doubt find illuminating.” – His Holiness, The Dalai Lama

THE 8 COIL SHAKTI
Spiritual Technology for Altered States, Meditation Enhancement and Mood Enhancement
Designed for intense Altered States
Shakti uses magnetic fields to create mood enhancements, altered states, and to enhance meditation and other spiritual practices. Shakti’s magnetic fields carry signals derived from brain structures known to be involved with spirituality and to induce altered states of consciousness. The 8 Coil Shakti headset alternates this magnetic stimulation between two sets of magnetic coils, building momentum towards more intense experiences. It’s also for mood enhancement and meditation enhancement. Pricing >
Although Shakti is designed for altered states in general, it has been used successfully for these experiences and effects (follow the links to learn more):
The Original “Koren Helmet” Developed By Dr. M.A. Persinger & S. Koren. Not available to the public. More Info
NOTE: The 8 Coil Shakti replaced the (discontinued) Shakti Helmet, and is sometimes called by that name, even though it does not use a helmet shell.

SHIVA NEURAL STIMULATION (16 Coil System)
Psychic Technology
A Windows (PC) version of “The (circumcerebral) Octopus”, developed by Dr. Michael A. Persinger & Stan Koren and found to enhance psychic perception in laboratory studies. 16 Coils (fed by 8 channels) circulate magnetic signals around your head to dampen the ‘binding factor’ for consciousness. This ordinarily filters out magnetic information from the world around us, and inhibiting it can allow psychic perceptions to appear. MORE INFO
Shiva is the manufacturer’s recommended system for psychic work.
Note: The Shiva software has instructions for stripping down the Shiva system to an 8 Coil Shakti.
The Shiva System includes:
- The original Shiva for Windows software (for psychic skills)
- Software for “God Helmet” sessions
- The 8 Coil Shakti software, including the Feelgood session and…
- All sessions for the 2 and 4 Coil Shakti systems
- The magnetic signals used for the (now discontinued) Shakti Helmet
NOTE: The Shiva System is still available in spite of Dr. Persinger’s passing away in August of 2018. His work will go on.

More Info on Shiva Neural Stimulation
God Helmet is a nickname given to the Koren Helmet, developed by Stan Koren and Dr. M.A. Persinger. It has elicited spiritual, religious and paranormal experiences in the laboratory.
Shiva Neural Stimulation System includes software to duplicate the stimulation used in the famous God Helmet experiments in neurotheology. It’s included with the Shiva Neural Stimulation System. This is the only edition of the God Helmet® available to the public.
Endorsed by Dr. Michael A. Persinger
NOTE: “God Helmet” sessions require sensory deprivation, which includes silence. The quieter, the better.
News: God Helmet experiment has been replicated
The Shiva God Helmet is still available in spite of Dr. Persinger’s passing away in August of 2018. His work will go on.
The Original “Koren Helmet” Developed By Dr. Michael Persinger & Stan Koren:
Affordable starter unit. Less powerful, but still capable of interesting effects.

New Research Tool:
The Whissel Dictionary of Affect in Language
The Whissel Dictionary of Affect in Language is a research tool that lets researchers quantify the “feeling” aspect of language. Until it was developed, there was no way to measure how people were feeling when they were speaking or writing. Now, its possible to measure the un-measureable, and turn collections of anecdotal evidence into hard evidence by using this cutting-edge scientific measuring tool. You can use it to assign meaningful numbers to people are feel (if you have their words in text form), without trying to force their free-flowing feelings into the narrow boxes of psychological questionnaires. Learn More about it Here, and Download it Here. It’s freeware. No payment or registration required.
