The human brain is the most complex and intricately organised organ in the known universe.
It comprises approximately 86 billion neurons.
And, each neuron has thousands upon thousands of synaptic connections.
These produce electrical and chemical signals, giving rise to our thoughts, emotions, memories, and well as our most profound spiritual insights.
In this video, we will explore how our brain processes spiritual experiences by examining the neural underpinnings of prayer, meditation, and mystical experiences.
We will also look at how the latest neuroscientific research may explain the experience of Near Death Experiences (NDEs) while also giving us insight into the event of bodily death itself.
By drawing on the emerging academic field of neurotheology, we can explore the relationship between neuroscience and religious or spiritual experience.
One major focus of neurotheology is the investigation of specific brain regions and their role in religious experiences.
For example, studies have examined the role of the temporal lobe, which has been linked to intense religious experiences, altered states of consciousness, and mystical encounters.
Functional neuroimaging techniques, such as fMRI and PET scans, are used to observe brain activity when individuals engage in prayer, meditation, or other religious practices.
These studies have identified patterns of neural activity associated with feelings of spiritual connection and transcendence, shedding light on the neural correlates of religious and mystical experiences
.
Additionally, neurotheology explores how religious and spiritual practices may influence brain function and structure.
Researchers in neurotheology have investigated the impact of meditation, prayer, and other contemplative practices on the brain.
This has revealed how regular engagement with spiritual practices may lead to long-term changes in neural connectivity and function.
The field also delves into the neurological aspects of religious rituals, moral decision-making, and the perception of religious symbols and narratives.
Neurotheology offers a fascinating perspective on the interplay between the human brain and spirituality.

Experince the divine by looking inwards, meditation (boring for a new starter till it becomes daily routine) but one day it will show what you are seeking. First hand experience.🙏❤
I don't find meditation boring at all. I find it relaxing and at times mystical.
I had an existential crisis just last night. If God is just a manifestation of the mind where do we actually go when we die? I'm a firm believer in Einsteins theory of energy cannot be created or destroyed. Then I remembered that everything is a mirror and what exists inside also exists outside.🤣 I love my meditation practice it helps me to connect with spirit and loved ones, my guides, myself. Very valuable.
@@thepresentmoment369 i totally agree with you.
@@checkitout3199how time did u need to be able to experience what I needed? Did you meet god? Did you find answer?
@@checkitout3199I'm sorry of I sound crazy but I need answers
I love to draw and to make music. I have ADHD and depressions. But I found god by meditation. Sometimes substances help me to get a more intensive connection to the spiritual world through self-medicating and self-taught. 🧘🏻♂💚
Sweat my friend and then medition = no depression.
tbh ,I also have mild depression and adhd, i am going to start my own utube channel soon and these things come in between, i had trully fkd my body by eating junk and overthinking made things worse which triggered due to my break up or not, i m not sure, but yeah...things really went bad. Meaning , other than meditation, intense sadness as well could trigger your brain to become spiritual or understand reality better, yeah as much i can say they were the reason to open my eyes and see reality as it is, but they were not an accelerator, body physiology really do play a huge role in forming the mind, so things like meditation, psychoactive substances help in understanding the phenomena of consciousness better. Now I have started a better version of myself, first i have to come out of rut in order to be spiritual, as its really difficult to be enlightened and do nothing in life at the same time. Its a bit hysterical. I think when a competent person denounces this materialistic world , that shows that he has the capabilty to enjoy this life as well to denounce it too, obviously at a certain cost, its not like, a spiritual person can trade his life for a chicken just like that. This doesnt mean that we should be eating 1kg chickens each day. It means if there is this last choice of either chicken lives or me, than i think its ok to save ur life! Dont u think? Or we can counter argue that if the sense of self is gone than how can he differentiate between his and chicken's life and be called enlightened? TBH, there is a rare chance to be this enlightened, and thats why there are only a few in hundred or even thousands of years. It doesnt mean we should not try , instead try your best , it would still be a better life than being absolute mute towards spirituality. Therefore i could recc u to read more books. also for me, i think weed lead me into overthinking but later on it also helped me to understand reality better. Right now, i am not so into meditation, i tried but failed many times, becoz i have less control over my brain and i got to know i had sleep apnea which stopped oxygen reaching my brain, meaning my physiology fucked my progress a bit, but not much that i cant return to a healthy human physiology . I can. Thats why , i have to introduce some regular meditation in my life, and start taking some action and risk. Due to my extravagant ass i delayed serious diagnosis for almost 2 years, now when i finally shifted to a new city i am able to save a bit and went to a proper doctor and had sleep study test, which requires 13,000 rupees, its not like i cant afford it but avoided it becoz i want to take delhi-ladakh bike tours, or visit my first foreign country like Thailand first. I think now, after experiencing a relationship, its perceived beauty, its facades, and everything else i experienced i could say now i can start moving forwards without being a d**k to myself. Now i have more clarity in life, i think not becoz of self-help (as i am consuming a content like that for more than 8 yrs now and still i didnt improved much), but becoz of life tragedies+ psychoactive substances+ spiritual and scientific knowledge i was able to gain. I think it makes you a great being in all the aspects of life, not like we could then become the richest person in the world, but more like u could live a good decent life, u could be a millionare too, but not someone which is ready to leave the planet and run at its brink, but more like to rejuvenate it , as if this habit keeps on getting more strong then no matter how many planets we shift we will never be able to good life, and live that planet too. With more cognitive ability comes a better understanding of life through which we could exploit it and keep on living a life of kill or be killed, there would be no love in that that of life, we also see this in the current world as well Or live a life of true understanding without any biases. As that life would be filled with real love and love is something which makes life worth living. Beware, i do not mean romantic love as its not a true form of love, but the universal love, which a usual spiritual person feels. Anyone who says i have now really understood what reality of consciousness is and doesnt have any love in life than he might not have understood it well. i hope we all understood well.
@maler.michel which god did you found ? and what is god to you ?
"I hope everyone who watches this video will have a wonderful journey to discover the transformative power of Buddhism for emotional sensitivity. Thank you for sharing these meaningful things."
I begged God to tell me what to do and my mind was taken over, a greater mind was now informing me, I can do things easier now, before I sat in a room suffering, the mind corrects me
I will suggest everyone to read this book by Forrest Knutson - "Mastering Meditation: Eight Steps from beginner to adept" , it explains all the yogic techniques that super fasts the meditation journey in the light of psychophysiology.
I love forrest and he's wonderful book, I carry that little book with me
Going to check this out thank you
The hardest part is the most simple part, relaxing. Most people think they’re relaxed, when in fact their neck and other body parts are still holding tension. Just focus on truly relaxing alone and amazing things will happen for you.
God is not out there well everywhere but most importantly its within us. Look inwards. Meditation.
The conclusion is fabulous.
This is Adi Shankaracharya's Advaita Vedanta.
Stayed for quality, enjoying quality with every new video rolling out. Namaskaram. Shambho.
what you can get intentionally is worthless. What you can get is worthless. What you can is worthless. "Your glory is found where you cease to exist"
in this picture on the tumbnail if we or other species had telepathy thats where we'd hear them arise from there and right above the ear. which we may end up think of them as our own. (anything above first dimension could hypothetically do this) since our thoughts are central outwards if you become aware of how thoughts arise. you should be able to tell if you're being influenced by a consciousness outside of your own and essentially protect yourself against it.
Would love to have a source on the "95% unconscious TPN" claim! It sounds possible, but cant find it online.
I am afraid, this age in time, that we no longer have control of our passive thoughts. Corporations have subliminally infected our minds with so much consumerism and product propaganda, that while we are on our own time, we constantly feel the desire to run to McDonald's for breakfast. To Starbucks for coffee. To gas station to get petrol. Then we become lost in worry about bills, taxes, does our loved ones have enough money to survive. To gain a perspective that our lives are indeed our own, is heartbreaking.
So an abundance of food, energy, and fantasy distractions (entertainment) make for a hellish experience? So you'd like to shut it all off? Who is stopping you from shutting it all out?
When you said "... quieting of the DMN" it sounded like "demons" then I thought ... huh, what a coincidence
I was in nevrosis because of the repeated chatting of my brain. I had to shut it down..meditation helped
I am on a deserted island, but do not know that I am on a deserted island. I step one foot in front of the other feeling the earth under my feet. I have no words for these things I eat oysters and throw the pearls into the ocean without wondering how they got there. I move gold nuggets from the rock and that I sit on because they are uncomfortable, just to clear my space. I do not wonder what these things are. they've always been here. I have never spoken to anyone, I just make sounds immolating nature. I just am whatever it is that I am. This is not my observation of myself, this is the mind observing the "I am" like if it knew how to...
Pansychism is correct. I am the most subtle mind singularity which makes perceptual entanglement possible... and you are too!🎉

Wow this is great, am a quantum entanglement that had NDE before I had memory as a child, and became of it or them, I have Samsara glitch for perception time, the memory is always with me , as a constant hyper , super Real, and samsara looks dull in contrast, what the memory is, is watching a nondescript energy human Avatar, sit in lotus, floating at the gate of the bardo worm hole tunel, the worm hole is aware, and has the feeling g of a central channel of a Toroid, the Avatar has a Toroid right behind it , the avatar has slowed the its speed down, I can sence its feelings , I know its perspectives are wrong, their heart is far to arrogant, their motives self serving, the avatar behind to uncoil its avatar layers into the roroids worm hole, there is so much brightness and Cosmuc live its hard to see, but the avatar trys to pour its energy self back into the toroid, but the cosmic love pull, and the illusions of it mirage nature becomes to strong, the avatars heart is heavy and the uncoiling begins to fail. The Avatars Toroid is not cultivated properly , the light inside the worm hole begging to have complete takeover of the avatar, its heart arrogance becomes its anchored and the house of mirrors shows it what it wants, the avatars toroid is also pulled into the toroid worm hole of what I think is GaiA Matrix, the potential to fly the nest and become sovereign has Faild, Gaias Central channel of her Toroid recycle the avatar and its Toroid, I can see lives as stories, just flying into the central channel worm whole, like movies uncoiling into it, for me that Avatar was someone that had cultivated, but they failed, in massive amounts of non understanding, they had been given life trough Gaia Matrix but had not been able to become sovereign when their time to fly came. I think I do pretty good with this vivid memory being behind every part of thus divine comedy, and have a great sence if humor, I have lycid dreams a lot, and gave looked at it several times, what can I do, For now I practice, Zen, kriya, Zhan zhuang, neigong. And liminal lucid dreaming, trying to cultivate the toroid , and truly trying to understand Gaia Matrix. Would you have any advice on how to become sovereign, in the filaments.
not recommending it, but trepanation is interesting, too :)
i see
everything is nothing...stop thinking or feeling or any image or even awareness of a body for 10mins or so sometimes & u found peace..if u can have it for 30mins or an hour great...pure consciousness is nothingness...it's perfection
Not Two

In regard to that lady who had the mystical experience as a result of a stroke. It would be worth knowing if she also experienced insights after the experience, and what were they. I have had a complete transcendental experience where i no longer experienced through the body, as the body walked and went about it’s day I was completely motionless and just aware , not at all engaged. My perception had shifted from being the body mind organism to being beyond space and time, and all things were appearances within me and of me. Someone suggested I probably had a stroke or temporal lobe epilepsy, so I went to a psychiatrist and got a scan, no nothing to see here. That experience lasted about 3 hours and insights came after, and ideas I had were completely flipped 180 degrees, not as opinions but intuitive knowing

There is no shortcuts to enlightenment
I agree. That's because there can be no path - short or otherwise - from here to here.
Enlightenment never comes intentionally
Enlightenment never comes, it already is.
@@sidhantsharma9961 Very true but empty words. and "Enlightenment makes you lighter" Try telling that to people suffering under the weight of existence.
What is God
To my knowledge not a being but a place in the higher astral realms filled with benevolent souls understood or interpreted as masters and angels by us. The indian term Brahman describes it well for me. Took me some years to arrive at this conclusion.
Better yet - what is beyond God? Nothing is greater than God.
Enlightenment is a continuous process, just like existence is a never ending journey and not a destination. Enlightenment progress is like Quantum, it happens in discrete steps. If it wasn't it would not be noticed at all. Like the experience of: "my state of awareness is significantly different than it was a moment ago." Instead of I can't distinguish any difference between one moment of awareness and the ones that follow. You decidedly know something significant that you didn't know (weren't aware that you knew) a moment ago.
Perhaps it should be finding god in the right hemisphere of the brain in case of Taylor.
Meditation is not a religious practice
LMAO!!
So maybe soon we will have a pill for enlightenment for a reasonable price! Or a surgery? Or implant...
The brain is imaginary.
So you’re enlightened? Otherwise how can you title a video this?
Enlightenment - so called - is merely the always already natural state.
Lies
Then tell us the truth Einstein
@Jaanikins: What is lies, Brother?
Troll alert! Ignore him.@@andrewcanady6644
Jesus Christ is Lord! Take the short or the direct way, the way of Light, the way of the Budha is the Backdoor, trough Darkness, you need to burn all your Karma by your Self. Not much Time left. Right ;)
Jesus is real, but the end times are not close. People have been saying that for thousands of years. They were always wrong, including now
Incorrect
Every man, own ways, all right so dont push your beliefs on others god would not like that.
All religions, paths and ways forward are sacred.
Every religion it teaching love and comfort whose safer within themselves including me and you, otherwise you not write your mind voice here😊
