Enlightenment, Self, and the Brain. How the brain changes with final l

A very interesting and in depth look at the brain and meditation/enlightenment



"Neurotheology 3 - What happens in the brain when a person attains enlightenment? This talk offers an hypothesis. Using concepts in neurotheology developed by Michael A. Persinger (inventor of the God Helmet), Todd Murphy (inventor of the 8 Coil Shakti neural stimulation system) explores the brain's role in enlightenemnt as understood in Buddhism. The talk also looks at the self (or sense of self), and how it's place as a brain function allows it to be flexible enough to change as a person becomes enlightened. It examines a few case histories, including those of Ramana Maharishi, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, The Buddha, and some others."

At about an hour and 5 minutes what he calls enlightenment, I think we would call the A&P (although maybe it's dark night to equanimity - however I don't think that lines up in terms of the fireworks he is describing)

Relaxation/calming of thought leading to disphoria/negativity which eventually leads to bliss/awe/feelings of insight/etc.

Additional talk on chakras/kundalini and the brain
