So the theory of this is that they is a Apple of eden hidden from either Man or God.
It does not claim that supernatural beings do not exist. One cannot prove a negative. There are an infinite number of things that *might be* that cannot be disproven. The burden of proof is on claims that things do exist, which has not been done. What this does show is there is a simpler explanation. There is a physical explanation and no need to add an entire other supernatural realm. Concluding that there are supernatural beings is unjustified.
Thus far, Persinger's claims have not been replicated. A group of Swedish researchers at Uppsala University were unable to reproduce the paranormal experiences Persinger claimed his magnetic snowmobile helmet could trigger. The Swedish research team concluded there was no correlation between the devuce, itself, and the paranormal experiences reported by the participants. They concluded that such experiences owed to the suggestibility of the participants, themselves.
What about the other dimensions affecting this one? That ever increasing + infinity and -negative infinity, and what the hell is absolute zero?..... we need better computer Damn it! I think it was the bud light and high tech hockey helmet. Remember this is just one study.
This presentation struck me as neither credible or scientific. The helmet itself looks like something from a 7th grade science project--not impressed. The "laboratory" looks like someone's basement. Come on. I'm open to scientific points of view on this subject but this was too unprofessional and too vague.
@TheTanager Actually TheTanager it does sound credible. I have epilepsy and there have been several times where I have sensations of a presence and have seen angels singing. I can either take an illogical view and say it was god or I can find out why that happened. Typcially most people who have seizures have a higher presence of electical activity and that comes in to contact with metal or magnets it efffects the objects. Cause and effect.
This is intriguing but I can't help wonder... it's been said that we use as little as 10% of our brains. So is it not reasonable to flirt with the idea that perhaps that experiment enhances the ability to connect with a spiritual dimension, rather than it being an illusion?
A device to induce a moment of delusion... cool, but I hope some day scientists could come up with a device to give gullible god believers a moment of rationality in order to make them realize there's no reason to believe in god(s), even for a short period of time.
They want the delusion. They have an emotional need for the delusion. When they are made to see the truth, it is extremely painful for them and they flee and choose to return to the delusion. Think of Morpheus describing the Matrix. People need to be educated well and not become dependent on it in the first place.
@gupsphoo It would be (unfortunately) illegal to require said "treatment"
They've shown a history of unwillingness to learn or function in the real world. No christian would willingly sit in a chair that would prove that helping people consists of monetary contribution and work as opposed to the painfully useless practice of prayer.
It's a great idea, but it couldn't be implemented without dumping all over basic human rights. Sadly enough.
The question is, how does the brain do this on it own without an outside magnetic disturbance concentrated on the right frontal lobe? This experiment proves how the brain can be manipulated, but it doesn't prove nor disprove in a scientific sense whether or not God exists.
@H0tkebab he said it was a natural occurrence in the brain. they use a magnetic force no more powerful then a hair dryer to induce the experience for the experiment. there was another study done by taking the brainwave imaging of people speaking in tongues. it's amazing what you can fool your mind into thinking. take placebos for instance.
Natural yes, but it wasn't done by the brain alone. It required an outside magnetic disturbance. The question is, how does the brain do this on its own without an outside magnetic disturbance?
If faith is foolish thinking, then what is the truth and how can you prove it? At the end of the day it comes down to personal opinion over fact in what you choose to believe in. All this proves the brain can be manipulated, however it doesn't disprove spirituality.
@positivesecret i am a skeptic myself. but your theory has just sent me into a silent stare for 20 minutes. you really made me think. Thank you. that is very interesting. Have you ever heard of the Measurement problem?
@positivesecret It couldn't be "truth" because what they experience is illusion... illusion by definition is not accurate reflections of reality; thus, having no basis of truth. If you're on LSD, your brain is interpreting the world through a set of "shades" but your misconstrued *perception* OF reality is not actual reality, or "truth" - just a hallucination. Hopefully that makes sense.
i think its time to redefine god. What the God helmet defines is "how" not why or more importantly what. what are the organizing functions at the largest scale of what exists? What role does a self aware and observant being play in the functions of what exists? What function are we connecting with when this part of our brain is active?
God used to live in the sky, once we reached the moon and saw no god, god was in our hearts. Once it was shown that their is no evidence of a soul, but there was evidence against the hypothesis of a unifying soul, god moved on to another realm. Where that is now, I have no idea, but the more science explains the less places there are for your imaginary friend to hide. God of gaps indeed.
Our scientific model of the world could only be constructed by deleting the mind from the model, delting the subject of the experience. That´s why you cannot found yourself or god in this model of the world, because it is autoreferential: YOU are IT. The creator of the model deleted himself of the model, and says that the model created by himself exist but not himself, that is the paradigm where the scientific method is trapped for ever. Ad buddhist call it Prajña Paramita, lets go through it !
the green, the love, he mother, the father, light darkness, good , evil, red, blue, long , short, duration, etc all these are the only bricks that builds the existence. but when any of these "things" are putted into the scintific model the result is "error", that error only shows that an autoreferential loop was made, and that the scientific model of the world should have to delete the observer to skip that error. Quantum mechanics made a big leap on that, the other sciences are just behind.
1+1=2, 1+1+1+1=4, what is really adding there, is the symbol "+" 1 time, 3 times. MAthematics is an illusion, the only thing that is adding and decomposing things is our own mind, mind+mind=2minds? I dont think so, no one have never experienced two minds or two consciousness at the same time, so why we think that there is more than one mind? in fact there is just one, unique mind. and that mind happened just once, the universe does not refelcts itself, it simple is, time is an illusion.
Experience cannot be created nor destroyed, in fact waht we call mind do not pertaon to this world of energy, does the experience of green can be telled or communicated? I mean not the electromagnetic wave lenght associated to Green, i mean the "Green". the same that applies to the green appliess to everything else, you can tap inside the brain but you will never found the green. Why? Becasue scientific method gets wriong when experience is inserted in the model, and that shows its paradigm.
A little buddhist prajña paramita :The truth is that all we ever can perceive is in us. There are symbolic archetypes which are these entities that appears in cinema, in literature in our dreams...and the most marvelous of all in our physiscal explanation of the universe, not even science and its method, not even mathematics escape the fact that is a product of something that already is in ourselves.
It's far more reasonable because hallucinations do occur(again, see schizophrenia), but this spiritual world has not a shred of proof of its existence. Try not to beg the question, as this experiment doesn't give proof to the existence of a spiritual world. The sense of self is an innate brain function, and your spiritual world is external--the two are not at all related (unless you believe the brain has some sort of spiritual receiver lol... this is now pretty damn stupid).
@damphoud the spiritual world IS this world, its merely matter of a different quality, coexistent with ours. Think about it, at one time there was not a shred of proof for many things, say radiation for example. But it existed and had effects but the radiation itself was not measurable. Scientifically speaking, there is ever possibility that there is much energy and forces undetectable by us at this time. Some things are malfuncions of the brain and others are real sense data.
@damphoud I am not sure hallucinations are the most simple answer here (occams razor) they are merely the most acceptable to the mind of many because they are familar, not necessarily the simplest explanation, in terms of data or possibility. I have as much reason to believe that there is a "spiritual" as the one under my feet as it CAN be sensed, as the ground is sensed, by someone in a sober state, and highly aware such as in yoga. I have never met a yogi that was anything but sane.
@damphoud 4 example, you will never see something on LSD that is not actually there, only a aberration of what is already there. There are many phenomenon in quantum physics we cannot explain, such as the absolute disappearance of electrons from existence as we know it, and 2 or more electrons occupying the same space at the same time.
@damphoud And actually if this experiment can be repeated following scientific method. and every person sees these beings, one must wonder at the possibility that these things are not necessarily non existent, but also the possibility that there are these masses of energy (beings or w/e), and that the helmet just helps you see it, say like devices that allow you to see infrared and more study is needed.
if these become widely available I wonder how this will effect spirituality. We like instant results in our technology saturated culture, and pretty soon people might be able to put on a helmet to experience the divine, without needing the traditional practices and preparation. Will spirituality become hostage to addictive technology?
The question that this experiment does not answer is this: Is it a false experience being induced or is stimulating dormant senses? i.e. sensing things that are actually real but only able to be sensed thru certain areas of the brain? Unfortunately this doesn't answer any questions about god, only about sensory experience while energy is passing thru or stimulating a area of the brain. But its pretty cool. It is actually pretty easy to induce OBE w/out machinery of any kind.
FAQ: What are non-technological sources of stimulation to this part of the brain?
Sources include magnetic fields generated by electrical storms, tectonic stress, magnetic geologic structures, solar storms interacting with the earth's magnet field; varying degrees of temporal lobe epilepsy; and chemicals. During solar storms there is an increase globally of seizures and reports of paranormal activity.
THere are more. The sciences of yoga and chi gong accumulate and cultivate energy within the body and also teach the body to draw on other external sources including the magnetic fields of other living beings. They then teach how to use the energy to stimulate the brain in a variety of ways in specific places (such as the pineal gland, pituitary gland, etc) much more sophisticated than this helmet.
I haven't seen any religious person hanging arround with one of those helmets on. So how you get to feel the same without the helmet. Oh wait, I figured it out. The AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon anthenas are generating the magnetic fields that make us feel the precense of God. Wait but those antenas didn't existed over 2,000 years ago, and people claimed the same things. #FAIL
Which came first, the experience or his hypothesis. It's fascinating study, but just to get out there - how does he know that he's not forcing evolution?
@daemonowner how do you know? You can neither prove nor disprove my statement. I can neither prove nor disprove my statement. Your mama can neither prove nor disprove my statement. So your is ___________________?
@justlilyanne i can, thank you very much. We define evolution to mean something aside from what this is, therefore according to our definition, it is not evolution.
If you are defining evolution such that it includes this, the meaning is not only diluted but utterly useless as language.
That is fascinating. Explains near death experiences and out of body experiences. They all take place in the brain, which I already knew, but this confirms it. Amazing. I'm so thankful for scientist. "May science bless you!"
@MsPaula46 Actually it doesn't and you saying so is quite unscientific. I am a dedicated scientist but this only proves one small thing and for you to take such license with it is dangerously unscientific.
@noksoocao I still say "Science bless you!" And I think that IS what the helmet was trying to prove. But, I am not a scientist and don't claim to be, so that is why my opinion on this would be "unscientific, not dangerously so, but unscientific. Lol...:)
Would this area in the brain also be the area that is sensitised in childhood by our parents... We all know how implicitly a child will believe anything imparted by his or her parents... so much so, that relinquishing any of that information and conditioning would be felt as a loss to that person's identity? I think so.
Why can't they pick more articulate subjects for these experiments? The whole thing depends on their ability to communicate the experiences they're having.
Gimmie somebody who uses 'like' and 'chillin' less often.
I really want to try the helmet. Never in my life have I had such feelings. I'm really curious what it must be like when others to have religious experiences. Then again I might be part of the less then 20% that it doesn't work on. Would that make me brain damaged? :p
"This is the helmet that ShockOfGod wears in ALL his videos."
Wow, this comment was epic. I've made more than one refutation video against shockofgod's claims. That man is hyper-religious. Funny, he friend-added me the other day, and I thought, "Surely you meant 'block?' >_>
This sounds awfully a lot like testimonies from DMT trips. The problem I have with this magnetic field research is the way it is presented. The DMT scene describes the contact with different world/entities/spirits/whatever as something uncharted or a bit mysterious to be researched much more. But this man is awfully quick to point out these experiments as nullifying any religious experiences and denounce any kind of spirituality.
@ghostphantom563 If you would like to experience the presence of these beings, you should try a drug called dimethyltryptamine or DMT. DMT is a natural human neurotransmitter which affects the right temporal lobe just like the god helmet, but is much more intense. I too saw these beings before my eyes and indeed, they were just "chilling" with me. do some research!
While I find the video highly interesting, i also find the hypothesis that the "god" center of the brain was formed from realizing you were going to die highly flawed and untestable. He seems to inject allot of bias into his theories.
Stimulating the brain, in many different ways, has many of the same effects. Damage to that part of the brain is what's responsible for dementia and schizophrenia.
So yes, I think he's proved you can have hallucinogenic experiences without the drugs.
@damphoud entities vs. bodies of emptiness: either way, since this experiment is so dependent on the subjective experiences of his respondents, he should be very careful and not distort them in any way with his own interpretations/wording.
His assertion that these experiences result from a coping mechanism bears no relation to this experiment. In context this is misleading.
It's very easy to make assumptions based on anecdotal historical evidence; this is not a scientific but a literary method.
@ReGreta9 Well that SOMETHING actually exist should b clear. This reminds me of a story about Berkely was discussing his theory with a friend about how u can't prove anything is real or not or it could all be imagined, and Berkley's friend pick up a rock and hit him in the leg with it, drawing blood. Berkely screamed and his friend asked him if it was real or not, lol.
@noksoocao That still is not 100% verifiable proof that it was real. The friend had the experience of picking up the rock and hitting Berkley in the leg. And Berkley had the experience of being injured. I still don't know for certain that the rock, leg or wound actually exists. I imagine that it most likely exists. The universe, the earth, our bodies all most likely exist, but I don't KNOW they exist.
@ReGreta9 lol it proves that SOMETHING exists, as it must as there is a awareness that is having a experience. W/out a "experience-ee" this is impossible therefore that bare minimum must exist, 100%. If you don't know at least that you are confused!
@noksoocao Yes, I definitely think that conciousness exists or rather the thing that has the experience exists, but it's everything else that I'm not sure about.
@lookatmepleasesir It proves that the brain can be easily tricked into producing hallucinations. Are you under the impression that what we see, all of the time, is indeed a reflection of reality? As in, do you hold the position that there are no delusional people?
@damphoud that depends how you define real. Our brain produces our sense of self, is this a hallucination? this sense of an "other", a presence, is related to our sense of self. What we see more or less all of the time is a reflection of reality.
and the multiple beings she described as sensing, are called siddhas in the yoga sutras. Patanjali says by concentrating on the crown of your head, you can experience the siddhas
- his hypothesis is that people will have a 'god experience' when confronted with their own mortality. Yet he is in no way testing that hypothesis in this experiment.
- while his subject describes 'bodies of emptiness' he calls them 'entities'.
- HE equates the sensing of these 'entities' with a god experience
- he has no evidence for the assertion that great religious thinkers had right brain lobe peculiarities. He has not tested them or their brains
@jawaligt He says we can have 'god experiences' because it's a coping method (not necessarily something which we are aware of--as in, the brain copes for us) against the realization that we will die. The experiment shows such experiences can be induced by exciting the brain, and showing a definite possibly that these experiences only exist in the brain--this may not be true and some of these experiences do exist, but no experiment has shown that these experiences reflect reality).
@noksoocao "us", in the context which I think you're referring to, is the human species in general. The delusion is a coping method which we are susceptible to.
@jawaligt Well, it's not unreasonable to call 'bodies of emptiness' as 'entities'. How do you define entity? He says that people can be tricked by their brain (or having this trick induced by the helmet) into thinking that external entities exist, and the god experience comes into play by the context interpretation (for example, a person experiencing it in a church may make they believe that the god of that church exists). And there is no evidence that these thinkers actually talked to a deity.
@damphoud How do you know those entities do not actually exist? because they cannot be perceived by the 5 senses? Thats the thing is that energy exists on many levels in ways not detectable by current science @ a given time. We speak of dark matter, or electrons disappearing and re appearing.... there may be sensory abilities in the brain that we do not fully understand yet.
@noksoocao You're right; I cannot know that these entities really not do exist, but I have no reason to believe they do exist. Do you have a reason to believe these entities exist? Our minds are highly capable of hallucinating (yes, hallucination do occur--see schizophrenia, or walk into any mental hospital)--it's far, far more reasonable to conclude that the brain is being tricked into hallucinating (much like being tricked by an illusion), rather than perceiving real beings(see Occam's razor).
@damphoud Occam's razor can be largely subjective. Why is it far, far more reasonable to conclude that the brain is being tricked into hallucinating? Maybe it is far, far more in line with your paradigm
@noksoocao For example, could you prove to me that these "entities" are not sent here by invisible aliens, orbiting our solar system at twice the speed of light, on a mission here is to mess with our minds/play piratical jokes? My scenario is conceptually possible (as in, I can think of it), but given the absolute ridiculousness of my scenario, we cannot take it serious relative to the possibility that the brain is being tricked.
I built something similar in 1997, combined with a 'natural diet' (advanced molecular engineering) judicious neuro-chemical supplementation and prolonged sleep deprivation...Holy Shit! Some intro etc at 'left in the Dark'
While it's a compelling hypothesis, that all religious experience derives from the activities of one tiny section of the brain, there's a big difference between creating the sensation of spiritual alterity in a laboratory and having a meaningful spiritual experience in one's own life, like getting a clear message from a deceased loved one through a convincing medium like James Von Praagh, or an extraordinary, meaningful coincidence. Spiritual experience is made of diverse phenomena.
Yes, this experiment addresses only a specific phenomenon. ANy explanations there may be for the examples you gave are not addressed here. That would be for another place.
@simeon94 I almost wish I believed that; it would ease my sense of existential responsibility... Or maybe it wouldn't, I'd have to try it on. I'm sure part of me WANTS to believe, but what KEEPS me believing is the extraordinary experiences I've had during my lifetime that tell me there is something beyond this life that we get involved in after we shuffle off. Everyone's got stories, though. For what it's worth, I don't think you're any worse off for believing there's no soul, on the balance.
@GavnatronTarasattva I won't quote Galileo directly, but he basically said that God would np punish anyone for using the brains he gave them and the reason he created. We are both using our brains and our own reasoning, even though we disagree; any God, or spiritual higher power (assuming one exists, which I don't believe) who disagrees with that is not the one who created us, that's for sure.
@simeon94 there is, but its not any christian god or w/e. Discover thru yoga. You must use yourself to discover what existence is, because you are existence. You don't believe in a deity, but you believe in the earth yes? what is it? what are you? why is energy here? why does anything exist? yoga (and chi gong) answer these questions.
what if the government has placed little god helmet chips inside all of our brains they they can activate anytime they want. Now that would be some ish
@NeuroPulse I thought this whole machine was suppose to prove or at least support that highly religious experiences are just a chemical trick or whatever? That historical prophets and holy people just have chemical inbalances in there brains? Do I understand correctly? So how would this work without magnetics? Or would it?
I would be interested to see this experiment carried out on a test subject that didn't come pre-installed with the belief that god exists and that we can talk to it in our own minds. I'd like to know what an atheist skeptic would experience when subject to the same stimulus. The video hinted that it had been tried successfully before but it only portrays a person that already believes in another spiritual realm.
@holidaysin @NeuroPulse Neither side can 'prove/disprove' God's existence. IF God exists, then physical reality is only a small piece of the whole of reality. We can only understand physical reality at this time, so we cannot truly look beyond it to prove/disprove God is real. But, if God is NOT real, and ONLY the physical exists, human equality is questionable. On the other hand, if we all have a spiritual essence it's easier to argue human equality.

@positivesecret It couldn't be "truth" because what they experience is illusion... illusion by definition is not accurate reflections of reality; thus, having no basis of truth. If you're on LSD, your brain is interpreting the world through a set of "shades" but your misconstrued *perception* OF reality is not actual reality, or "truth" - just a hallucination. Hopefully that makes sense.

i think its time to redefine god. What the God helmet defines is "how" not why or more importantly what. what are the organizing functions at the largest scale of what exists? What role does a self aware and observant being play in the functions of what exists? What function are we connecting with when this part of our brain is active?

God used to live in the sky, once we reached the moon and saw no god, god was in our hearts. Once it was shown that their is no evidence of a soul, but there was evidence against the hypothesis of a unifying soul, god moved on to another realm. Where that is now, I have no idea, but the more science explains the less places there are for your imaginary friend to hide. God of gaps indeed.

Our scientific model of the world could only be constructed by deleting the mind from the model, delting the subject of the experience. That´s why you cannot found yourself or god in this model of the world, because it is autoreferential: YOU are IT. The creator of the model deleted himself of the model, and says that the model created by himself exist but not himself, that is the paradigm where the scientific method is trapped for ever. Ad buddhist call it Prajña Paramita, lets go through it !

the green, the love, he mother, the father, light darkness, good , evil, red, blue, long , short, duration, etc all these are the only bricks that builds the existence. but when any of these "things" are putted into the scintific model the result is "error", that error only shows that an autoreferential loop was made, and that the scientific model of the world should have to delete the observer to skip that error. Quantum mechanics made a big leap on that, the other sciences are just behind.

1+1=2, 1+1+1+1=4, what is really adding there, is the symbol "+" 1 time, 3 times. MAthematics is an illusion, the only thing that is adding and decomposing things is our own mind, mind+mind=2minds? I dont think so, no one have never experienced two minds or two consciousness at the same time, so why we think that there is more than one mind? in fact there is just one, unique mind. and that mind happened just once, the universe does not refelcts itself, it simple is, time is an illusion.

Why? Becasue scientific method gets wriong when experience is inserted in the model, and that shows its paradigm.

It's far more reasonable because hallucinations do occur(again, see schizophrenia), but this spiritual world has not a shred of proof of its existence. Try not to beg the question, as this experiment doesn't give proof to the existence of a spiritual world. The sense of self is an innate brain function, and your spiritual world is external--the two are not at all related (unless you believe the brain has some sort of spiritual receiver lol... this is now pretty damn stupid).
damphoud 1 year ago
@damphoud the spiritual world IS this world, its merely matter of a different quality, coexistent with ours. Think about it, at one time there was not a shred of proof for many things, say radiation for example. But it existed and had effects but the radiation itself was not measurable. Scientifically speaking, there is ever possibility that there is much energy and forces undetectable by us at this time. Some things are malfuncions of the brain and others are real sense data.
noksoocao 1 year ago
@damphoud I am not sure hallucinations are the most simple answer here (occams razor) they are merely the most acceptable to the mind of many because they are familar, not necessarily the simplest explanation, in terms of data or possibility. I have as much reason to believe that there is a "spiritual" as the one under my feet as it CAN be sensed, as the ground is sensed, by someone in a sober state, and highly aware such as in yoga. I have never met a yogi that was anything but sane.
noksoocao 1 year ago
@damphoud 4 example, you will never see something on LSD that is not actually there, only a aberration of what is already there. There are many phenomenon in quantum physics we cannot explain, such as the absolute disappearance of electrons from existence as we know it, and 2 or more electrons occupying the same space at the same time.
noksoocao 1 year ago
@damphoud And actually if this experiment can be repeated following scientific method. and every person sees these beings, one must wonder at the possibility that these things are not necessarily non existent, but also the possibility that there are these masses of energy (beings or w/e), and that the helmet just helps you see it, say like devices that allow you to see infrared and more study is needed.

The question that this experiment does not answer is this: Is it a false experience being induced or is stimulating dormant senses? i.e. sensing things that are actually real but only able to be sensed thru certain areas of the brain? Unfortunately this doesn't answer any questions about god, only about sensory experience while energy is passing thru or stimulating a area of the brain. But its pretty cool. It is actually pretty easy to induce OBE w/out machinery of any kind.

FAQ: What are non-technological sources of stimulation to this part of the brain?
Sources include magnetic fields generated by electrical storms, tectonic stress, magnetic geologic structures, solar storms interacting with the earth's magnet field; varying degrees of temporal lobe epilepsy; and chemicals. During solar storms there is an increase globally of seizures and reports of paranormal activity.
There is plenty of info available online :-)

@NeuroPulse
THere are more. The sciences of yoga and chi gong accumulate and cultivate energy within the body and also teach the body to draw on other external sources including the magnetic fields of other living beings. They then teach how to use the energy to stimulate the brain in a variety of ways in specific places (such as the pineal gland, pituitary gland, etc) much more sophisticated than this helmet.

I haven't seen any religious person hanging arround with one of those helmets on. So how you get to feel the same without the helmet. Oh wait, I figured it out.

This sounds awfully a lot like testimonies from DMT trips. The problem I have with this magnetic field research is the way it is presented. The DMT scene describes the contact with different world/entities/spirits/whatever as something uncharted or a bit mysterious to be researched much more. But this man is awfully quick to point out these experiments as nullifying any religious experiences and denounce any kind of spirituality.
Apart from that this is very interesting stuff!

While I find the video highly interesting, i also find the hypothesis that the "god" center of the brain was formed from realizing you were going to die highly flawed and untestable. He seems to inject allot of bias into his theories.
Stimulating the brain, in many different ways, has many of the same effects. Damage to that part of the brain is what's responsible for dementia and schizophrenia.
So yes, I think he's proved you can have hallucinogenic experiences without the drugs.
JunkFoodMedia 1 year ago 2
@damphoud entities vs. bodies of emptiness: either way, since this experiment is so dependent on the subjective experiences of his respondents, he should be very careful and not distort them in any way with his own interpretations/wording.
His assertion that these experiences result from a coping mechanism bears no relation to this experiment. In context this is misleading.
It's very easy to make assumptions based on anecdotal historical evidence; this is not a scientific but a literary method.

His approach doesn't seem very scientific.
- his hypothesis is that people will have a 'god experience' when confronted with their own mortality. Yet he is in no way testing that hypothesis in this experiment.
- while his subject describes 'bodies of emptiness' he calls them 'entities'.
- HE equates the sensing of these 'entities' with a god experience
- he has no evidence for the assertion that great religious thinkers had right brain lobe peculiarities. He has not tested them or their brains
jawaligt 1 year ago 3
@jawaligt He says we can have 'god experiences' because it's a coping method (not necessarily something which we are aware of--as in, the brain copes for us) against the realization that we will die. The experiment shows such experiences can be induced by exciting the brain, and showing a definite possibly that these experiences only exist in the brain--this may not be true and some of these experiences do exist, but no experiment has shown that these experiences reflect reality).

damphoud 1 year ago
@jawaligt Well, it's not unreasonable to call 'bodies of emptiness' as 'entities'. How do you define entity? He says that people can be tricked by their brain (or having this trick induced by the helmet) into thinking that external entities exist, and the god experience comes into play by the context interpretation (for example, a person experiencing it in a church may make they believe that the god of that church exists). And there is no evidence that these thinkers actually talked to a deity.
damphoud 1 year ago
@damphoud How do you know those entities do not actually exist? because they cannot be perceived by the 5 senses? Thats the thing is that energy exists on many levels in ways not detectable by current science @ a given time. We speak of dark matter, or electrons disappearing and re appearing.... there may be sensory abilities in the brain that we do not fully understand yet.

@noksoocao You're right; I cannot know that these entities really not do exist, but I have no reason to believe they do exist. Do you have a reason to believe these entities exist? Our minds are highly capable of hallucinating (yes, hallucination do occur--see schizophrenia, or walk into any mental hospital)--it's far, far more reasonable to conclude that the brain is being tricked into hallucinating (much like being tricked by an illusion), rather than perceiving real beings(see Occam's razor).

While it's a compelling hypothesis, that all religious experience derives from the activities of one tiny section of the brain, there's a big difference between creating the sensation of spiritual alterity in a laboratory and having a meaningful spiritual experience in one's own life, like getting a clear message from a deceased loved one through a convincing medium like James Von Praagh, or an extraordinary, meaningful coincidence. Spiritual experience is made of diverse phenomena.

@holidaysin @NeuroPulse Neither side can 'prove/disprove' God's existence. IF God exists, then physical reality is only a small piece of the whole of reality.

But, if God is NOT real, and ONLY the physical exists, human equality is questionable. On the other hand, if we all have a spiritual essence it's easier to argue human equality.
