The neuroscience of God, enlightenment, out-of-body experiences, Deja Vu, near-death experiences, and how spirituality is part of what makes us human.\u00a0 This field is sometime called neurotheology<\/em>.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether God is in the brain or works through the brain, the power of prayer still lies in the human mind. Meditation works by making changes in both the brain and the mind. This idea has created a new science called neurotheology<\/em> by several authors and journalists, though it’s really the behavioral neuroscience<\/em> of religion, mysticism, and spirituality.<\/span><\/p>\n

My approach is different from others in this field, like Andrew Newberg or Mario Beauregard<\/span>. I believe that the theory of evolution is the most important concept in understanding why the brain keeps spiritual experiences and beliefs in its repertoire. To truly understand our ‘spiritual brain’, we have to think about how it evolved. We also need to look at how spirituality and religion helped us survive at the dawn of humanity, by making changes in the brain.\u00a0 It invites a new phrase:\u00a0 Evolutionary<\/em> neurotheology.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Video Lectures on Neurotheology.<\/a>
\n<\/span>A nine-hour lecture series on the brain’s role in religious an mystic experiences. Subjects include God, enlightenment, rebirth, psychic skills, the sacred body, practical neurotheology, some interviews, presentations, and more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Role of Mystics and mysticism in Human Evolution (An evolutionary hypothesis for neurotheology)<\/a><\/span>.<\/span>
\nOur populations consistently produce a percentage of people who experience profound altered states, imposing behavior patterns that offered benefits to our social groups early in our evolutionary history. This is <\/span>a simplified version of a journal publication.<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Ancient Way of Gratitude<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Looking at gratitude in tribal living, our natural way of life. It’s better to receive gratitude than to give it, so it’s better to give than to receive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Enlightenment<\/a>
\n<\/span>This essay discusses what may have happened to the Buddha’s brain the night of his enlightenment.\u00a0 An example of forensic neurotheology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darwinian<\/a> Reincarnation<\/a><\/span>
\nThe idea of rebirth takes an important step towards science when it is integrated with Darwin’s Theory. Learning from past lives confers an important advantage in complex cultures, and the human death-process, made explicit in Near-Death Experiences, serves this end. Reincarnation was an evolutionary adaptation that contributed to the survival of our species.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Origins of Spirituality in Human Evolution<\/a>.<\/span>
\nWhen Humans acquired language, we began to think about death in some very new ways. This created a new feeling of being threatened whose source lay in our own thoughts. People responded to this new threat by finding a sense of spirituality that allowed us to come to terms with our mortality.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the God Helmet<\/a>.
\n<\/span>This article discusses the Koren Helmet, often called the “God Helmet”. Some ‘straight dope’ about a misunderstood technology. (Opens in a new Window).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An Atheist in Defense of Religion<\/a><\/span>.
\nBelief in God is a wholesome, adaptive force that contributed to our survival. Its an intrinsic part of the human species, and part of our survival strategy.\u00a0 Religion encourages people to be kind to each other, and that helps us to live and thrive together.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God Helmet Effects independently replicated<\/a>
\n<\/span>by a group of Brazilian researchers in a 2014 Publication. Using equipment very similar to Dr. Michael Persinger’s, they measured significant differences in the speech of subjects and controls, replicating one of Persinger’s early experiments. <\/span>Here’s a discussion about this.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spiritual Aptitude Test<\/a>
\nRead about subtle altered states (like deja vu)<\/em>, and what they say about yo<\/em>ur<\/em><\/span>\u00a0spiritual aptitudes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ‘Sensed Presence.’<\/a><\/span>
\nUnderstanding the feeling that there is someone behind you when you’re actually alone is an important starting point in our approach to neurotheology. It’s a subtle manifestation of the sense we use to feel the presence of ghosts, spirits, angels and even God.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God<\/a><\/span>
\nThe direct experience of God is one of the highest mystical states a person can achieve. If there is a God to be experienced, then like everything else we perceive, God must appear through our brains. This article owes a debt to Michael Persinger’s book, “Neuropsychological Bases of God-Beliefs”.<\/span><\/p>\n

A dialog in Neurotheology<\/span>.<\/a>
\nAn email discussion about how we should view information from traditional religions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Evolution of God<\/a>
\nAn article based on a lecture given in March 2005 at the Winchester “Art & Mind” festival. Easier reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

The (Shiva) God Helmet<\/a><\/span>
\nDr. Persinger’s famous magnetic brain stimulation technology that induces spiritual experiences in the laboratory is available in a PC-based version.<\/span><\/p>\n

Validating New Technologies to Treat Depression, Pain and the Feeling of Sentient Beings: A Reply to \u201cNeuroscience for the Soul\u201d<\/a><\/span>
\nPersinger points out that some of his critics object to opinions and beliefs mistakenly ascribed to him. For example, he doesn’t believe that religious belief is an epileptic phenomenon, and his theories are not based on religiousness in epileptics. Read this if you like keeping up with developments in this field. (Technical Article – Opens in a new Window)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Healing<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
Brain-to-Brain Connections, Chi, Reiki and “laying on hands”<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span>Spiritual healing may work by passing information from the healer’s brain to the client’s brain. Healing hands may actually be healing brains.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Out of Body Experiences<\/a>
\nA 2002 study by Dr. Olaf Blanke has implicated the Angular Gyrus, (an area on the surface of the brain) in out-of-body experiences. This article replies to that study to the effect that there are other areas in the brain that may be involved. If researchers take Dr. Blanke’s interpretation of his results at face value, they may miss other avenues of inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guided Spiritual Exercises from Brain Science<\/a>
\n<\/span>Simple guided imaginative exercises that often have immediate results.\u00a0 A little practical neurotheology.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Spiritual<\/a> Personality<\/a>.
\n<\/span>Doing spiritual practice (or having a spiritual awakening), has an impact on the brain, the mind, and personality. These changes happen are pretty easy to predict. The altered states of consciousness experienced through spirituality create some interesting ‘traits’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deja<\/a> Vu<\/a><\/span>
\nDeja vu is one of the most common spiritual experiences known. That is, if you enjoy it. If you don’t, its more a matter for the right kind of doctor than a temple. Deja vu is a change in the perception of the present moment, and it can be used to enhance some meditation practices, like Zen, that emphasize the ‘here and now’.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Neurology of Romantic Love.<\/a>
\n<\/span>In many ways, romantic love looks similar to devotional religious feelings, and its disappointments look very much like ‘The Dark Night of the Soul’. Neuroscience for the hopeless romantic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stimulating My Brain As a Spiritual Path.<\/a>
\nHere’s my story, more or less. When its finished, you’ll find that I accept many of the things that psychics, gurus, and religions teach, but in very different forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Archetypes<\/a>
\nWe might be more likely to see the archetypes in others than in ourselves. Evolution may have provided us with some hard-wiring that allows us to see them in others, giving us an almost instinctive feeling for how to relate with different types of people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sacred Lands<\/a>
\n<\/span>A look at Harbin Hot Springs, a spiritual resort and retreat center in Northern California, that’s also in one of the most geologically active places in the world. Geomagnetic changes interact with magnetic processes in the brain, producing ‘power spots’ where it takes extra awareness just to get by.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consciousness<\/span>.<\/a>
\nWhere does the phenomena of conscious awareness come from? This hypothesis suggests that consciousness functions to mediate states of consciousness. Simple answer for a vexing question. Not easy reading.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Terrorism<\/a>
\n<\/span>“I would kill in God’s name” What do people willing to be violent for God have in common? And just how different is a religious extremist from an ordinary religious believer?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) in Thailand.<\/a><\/span>
\nThe experience of dying is different in different cultures, and Thai NDEs provide one of the best examples of culture-specific ‘altered state’ experiences uncovered so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thai Near-Death Experiences in Context.<\/span><\/a>
\nThis article discusses how Thai NDEs make sense when looked at in terms of their cultural and religious context. An article accepted for publication by the Journal of Near-Death studies was edited from this study.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sex and States of Consciousness.<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Too much drive? Too little? This article may explain why.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Glasses for Enhanced Visual Acuity<\/a>.<\/span>
\nAbout a pair of glasses that induces a stunning enhancement in vision. If you have ever had moments where you were seeing as though your eyes had been polished from the inside, and wondered if it was possible to re-capture those moments, you should read this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Inventing Shakti<\/a><\/span> A non-technical article about how Shakti was invented.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"Book:<\/a>New Book:\u00a0 D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu & Other Spiritual Gifts<\/a> (Click to see on Amazon.com)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

By Neuroscientist Todd Murphy<\/h4>\n

D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu is a spiritual gift,<\/a> and there are others waiting\u00a0 for you in the same place – your brain and mind.\u00a0 If you have D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu often, then you probably also have other gifts, like sensing presences when you’re alone, or tingling in your hands.\u00a0 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
