doug Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/...81217124156.htm hi, came across this on sciencedaily thought it might get some good kicks. Apparently, some research shows that pretty much spiritual people are equal to those with an impaired right parietal lobe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Um, guys... We're like outnumbered hundreds of thousands to one, and while I might like those odds it's far more likely that these retards will try to figure out a spiritual lobotomy to "cure" us than the other way round.

It's hard to create, easy to destroy. Actually they do just that in China and Russia (not USSR!) to drug addicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kainscalia Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 "This link is important, Johnstone said, because it means selflessness can be learned by decreasing activity in that part of the brain. He suggests this can be done through conscious effort, such as meditation or prayer. People with these selfless spiritual experiences also are more psychologically healthy, especially if they have positive beliefs that there is a God or higher power who loves them, Johnstone said." “The ability to connect with things beyond the self, such as transcendent experiences, seems to occur for people who minimize right parietal functioning. This can be attained through cultural practices, such as intense meditation or prayer or because of a brain injury that impairs the functioning of the right parietal lobe."" It's the bit about BRAIN INJURY that keeps jumping up here, and the fact that he's trying to pass it off as a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
