What does this video have to do with spirituality? She never expresses any belief in voodoo or other nonsense, she simply expresses how he felt in a scientific way.

Also, am I the only one that think that the spiritual people here sounds like cult members? (Oh, we have 5 thingy-majingys in us but they aren't physical so that's why no one can prove or disprove them. We also have this panama-thingy and if that leaves us we die.) We're not closed minded, you are!

@blasbeb The video shows that all of us are wired for the universal connection like she experienced. Regarding your comment about spirituality; you can only understand it if you experience it yourself. My thinking was exactly like yours but when at the age of 56 I experienced this other connection, then only I could experience and believe in it. May be your time will come, for now just be open and wait for your experience.

Taking drugs, mediation, stoke all have the same effect of losing your individual identity. It is then only you can experience that we all are connected as one. In teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, his first experiences were through Peoti and Dhatura, and then the second experience was through meditation. To call others stupid makes me pity you as you are so ignorant.

her scientific side got messed up man

This is no different then when you talk about Chakras in the body, they are not physical, but exist. Similarly rather then think left or right brain, you should think logical/physical and universal brain. She describes the feeling of the state when her logical and physical brain shut off.

@tubejogindra "Not physical, but exist"? If it's not physical, it doesn't exist.

[tubejogindra]

@MrMZaccone Prana is not physical but it exists. If it leaves us we die, but at night when we sleep our Prana keeps us awake, even when we are in deep sleep and unaware.

@blasbeb Why are you here looking at a spiritual video? Is it just because you want to flame people? It must make you feel great to belittle people who have hope in an afterlife and make them feel a little smaller. What a great person you are.

@thebbeenn I should point out that claiming any non-physical explanation FOR ANYTHING is inherently narrow minded because it exceeds the scope of your own explanatory power. It is therefore, a claim that since you can't explain it ... you CAN explain it, a clear and blatant CONTRADICTION which necessitates a cessation of all further inquiry. It is essentially, the definition of closed minded behavior. I've fielded this same argument many times before ... it's idiotic.

[MrMZaccone]

@thebbeenn No pondering necessary. "Thoughts are not physical, yet they exist yes?" ... NO!!! Thoughts are indeed physical. They are patterns of electrochemical impulses in the brain, nothing more. Thoughts are not "converted into physical reality" THEY ARE PHYSICAL REALITY! Interestingly enough we CAN measure these things with conventional science, we get better at it every day. When you have something to say that isn't easily contradicted by modern science get back to me until then ...

@MrMZaccone

Ponder this. Thoughts are not physical, yet they exist yes? Thoughts and imagination can be converted into physical reality. Artists of all creeds have done this since we started using tools. I don't see why this is any different. A movie was once only a storyboard, from a script, from a series of thoughts. Sure, we can't measure these things with conventional science (yet), but to say that if something can't exist if it's not physical is just narrow-minded.

@lionsare The burden of proof burdens the ones with the claim. Darwin (for example) didn't go to a priest and said "Hey, I have this theory that we're basically monkeys but you can't disprove it so I'm right".

TL;DR We don't have to disprove it, you have to prove it if you want a scientific foundation, or even consider as a theory and not a joke.

"Art is the funnel through which Spirit is poured into life" Thomas Mann wrote this and it is well known now that the right hemisphere of our brain allows us to be creative. I believe this connects us to God. How effective would any religion be that does not include music, art or stories?

[SlayingMinion]

These people are so stupid. They interpret this experience as "spiritual" but it's just like taking drugs. The mind is simply unstable. I don't know why you guys gobble this up...
