Your brain has extraordinary powers. Did you know? When you experience spiritual, religious, transcendental and divine experiences, where are they created? Ask yourself What kind of connection exists between your brain and your spirituality?
Your brain, does it produce spirituality?
If I affirm that the brain produces spirituality, I do not mean that the Human Being is in constant desire to seek some god in any religion. On the contrary, I am expressing to you, that the Human Being is achieving a special connection with the divine energy, that which makes your heart be able to beat, your lungs can provide oxygen to the bloodstream, that your brain functions properly, in synthesis, that the universe take on a life of its own and work perfectly.
You as a human being, you have certain particles of energy that are concurrent and link with the divine energy that created and sustains the universe . Your response will be real, according to your perception of God, the motivation to believe in him or reject him.
Think, when a religious leader says he talked to God, does he tell the truth? Where did the conversation originate? For this religious leader, what is God?
I want you to know initially that Neuroscience does not carry out exploration of God in the brain; It is Neurotheology, which develops research on the reactions of each of the neurons during spiritual and mystical episodes . Can you see the difference?
That said, according to lucid research, 90% of the energy of your brain and mine, has nothing to do with us . What is true is that religious experiences activate the same stripes of the brain.
Neuro-images have shown that your brain at night has a valuable energy consumption, its activity is quite high . In contrast to the above, reading, walking, developing physical practices, among other daily activities, the brain only spends 5% of energy . According to recent research, scientists have named the remaining energy in Network-By-Default Mode. How about? Amazing! True?
Now, the Dark Brain Energy, is that energy that the brain does not know how to process it . Very didactically, it is as if this energy that we have hidden, nourishes another being that is unconsciously in our Being.
Scientists, through their research, have shown that neurons in our brain create electrical current, and in turn, they create a magnetic field in the brain that can be measured outside the head . It was thus, that it was shown, that epilepsy focuses on the frontal lobes, forming a hyperactivity of the neuronal patterns, hence the seizure, and the other eventualities that happen to the patient. The previous crises are medically known as simple partials and complex partials .
Simple partial crises are caused by strong and intense emotions ; complex partials are those crises, in which, the person is not being aware of his actions, usually, he makes involuntary movements, many of them, even violent and aggressive.
Deeper still; if you and I lie, the brain will work double, bringing as a consequence that the spoken words, the brain processes them as false images, creating a different or unreal reality . Why? Precisely, because different and multiple areas in the brain are activated, allowing really large cognitive loads . Now, if it was a false ideology that was taught and we are practicing it, brain activity, blood flow in the brain and oxygen in the blood grow, directly the areas of the frontal lobe, limbic lobe and temporal lobe are affected.
When you are suggested through beliefs, you will experience altered states of consciousness, your spacetime perception will grow and you will feel that you are lost in time, you will scream, cry, laugh, laugh . These experiences usually manifest themselves in the temporal lobe. Many of the above symptoms have been experienced by mystics of all religions.
The helmet of God, was the invention of the cognitive neurologist scientist Dr. Michael Persinger, who made electric shocks through a motorcycle helmet, producing certain effects similar to those described above.
Certainly, you are faced with a very complex and objectively deep topic, it would be excellent, that, in a particular way, you would do personal research, it will increase your intellect, your knowledge and “you will not swallow whole”. Ask yourself, does human spirituality have its origin in brain structures?
Near death experiences what does it feel like?
Very approximate, and through the little that has been investigated in relation to the subject, the neurologist Olaf Blanke, in one of his investigations in the neuroscience laboratory of the Federal Political School of Lausanne of Switzerland, has provoked mechanically and experimentally, experiences of a spiritual nature, similar to those lived by people who clinically died, through electrical stimuli in a part of the cerebral cortex called Angular Twist.
People who "have returned from death, " say they lived an experience so ineffable that it is even impossible to describe with their own words . They claim to have felt a lot of peace, bliss and happiness, they are observed walking through a tunnel with a bright white light at the end of the path, they are not seen inside the physical body, they are observed as floating, seeing their body from above, they meet again with beings dear ones, you experience realities with spiritual entities, and even, the whole life review is done with these divine beings.
The previous characteristics have been very similar to those that count, all those people who claim to have experienced a mystical and spiritual revelation.
According to science, the previous particularities and descriptions of mystical experiences and death are produced by excessive stress in the brain, which produces a substance called endorphin, regularly used as an analgesic .
Conclusion and Contribution of the Author
In summary, according to what science has investigated, human spirituality is lived because certain brain structures are highly active . The vast majority, these types of lived realities, have been known as altered states of consciousness ; It is precisely in these states, when the person lives and comes into contact with the spiritual beings that he manages to observe.
From my personal conception, and only part of a very personal opinion, human spirituality is much more than an experience of peace and harmony . I tell you, because for many years I have lived experiences of fainting with epileptic events, and although I wake up with pain from the blow when I fall, I do not remember anything, but I feel in such peace and joy, that no one is able to take it away from me .
According to the above, those who take anti-convulsants, and other medications for the brain, we could no longer live mystical experiences, because the medication is preventing there from being “short circuits” in the brain, however, through prayer and Meditation, we still feel quite real spiritual experiences . Do we really make connection with the energy of the Creator of the Universe?
Finally, I consider that this investigation does not affect in any substantial way the spiritual life of each Human Being . Just experiencing some feeling through a state is very different from experiencing and living according to what is believed, because there are bases of reality to believe it, and regardless of believing or not in God.
I invite you to return again to the beginning of this Text and ask yourself: In your brain, how does human spirituality originate?
