What Science Says About a Soul/Spirit Connections
Below, you will find different journals, blogs, videos & articles for your reading pleasure.
Theses resources teach about the studies that discuss evidence for a soul and its effect on our purpose & the world.
FINDING OUR ENLIGHTENED STATE
How does the brain function during prayer, meditation, and trance states? Andrew Newberg has conducted hundreds of brain scans of people during these “enlightened” states and found unique patterns of brain activity. He has surveyed 2,000 people to find the essential elements of the enlightenment experience. With these findings, Andrew aims to help people find their own enlightenment, an experience that can radically change and improve your life.
Traditionally, science has dismissed the soul as an object of human belief.
While science has explained some of the functioning of the human brain, the reason for one's subjective experience remains mysterious.
Biocentrism and other scientific theories have started to challenge the old physico-chemical paradigm to ask: "Is there a soul?"
IS THE HUMAN BRAIN HARDWIRED FOR GOD?
The question as to whether or not we are hardwired for religion and spirituality is an important one, says pioneering neuroscientist Andrew Newberg. “When we look at how the brain works, we see it’s able to very easily engage in religious and spiritual practices, ideas and experiences.”
Nobody ever asks these questions out loud, possibly because of how silly they sound. Once you start asking them, the choice you are faced with becomes clear: either overthrow everything we think we have learned about modern physics, or distrust the stew of religious accounts/unreliable testimony/wishful thinking that makes people believe in the possibility of life after death. It's not a difficult decision, as scientific theory-choice goes.
