All spiritual experiences are based in the brain. That statement is truer than ever before, according to a University of Missouri neuropsychologist.

Calling all philosophers! Calling all philosophers! Category error! Category error!

The brain is not meant to adapt to higher. It’s meant to fit your study. Hey. I know that guy...

"Selflessness, core of all major world religions"

Umm, yeah, except Islam. The Religion of Pieces.

Yeah, yeah. I’ve heard it all before.

Man’s nothing more than a carbon-based, biological machine.
Synapses, neurons, chemicals. That’s it.

These people never give it up. Always pushing away what they

far beyond their understanding, and that it is the creation of an

The authors were very careful not to assign causality. In fact, the term never even appears in the article.

Correlation does not infer causality. In fact, the alleged association could just as easily indicate an effect, or consequence of the experience itself.

That there is a physical component associated with spiritual experiences, or any experience for that matter, is not surprising to those of us who entertain the notion of duality...that the physical body is just a vessel for the spirit.
