Mannen som talar med andar, tror ni Alternativ

Har just tittat på Mannen som talar med andar, jösses så klockren han är. Tror ni att man kan tala med andar blir man en ande går det omkring andar här hos oss kan andarna (om dom finns) se oss

"Neuromysticism is a form of mysticism which maintains that mystical phenomena are correlated with internal neurological events, and that mystical phenomena do not represent a message or revelation from outside the self, such as coming from a supreme being or god, as has been claimed by some historically well-known mystics."

Nu har jag sökt lite på nätet. Som vanligt finner jag det svårt att hitta relevant information (retligt - jag vet ju att den finns där), särskilt på svenska, men här kommer några sammandrag på engelska från denna sajt: länk
Att det är bevisat att andliga upplevelser uppstår i hjärnan förringar ju inte människorna som har dem, vilket vissa av er verkar tro. Våra hjärnor är olika, tack och lov. Vissa har dessa upplevelser, andra har dem inte. Vi som inte har dem kan inte föreställa oss hur starka och realistiska de är, personligen kan jag rentav känna en viss avund; det måste vara trevligt med en så stark tro, själv är jag alldeles för kritisk för sånt.

“We tested the hypothesis that a special population of people who maintain exotic beliefs and report frequent subjective psi experiences should display more frequent temporal lobe signs and symptoms. Clusters of items, that reflect various temporal lobe factors for 20 women who were actively (greater than 1 year) involved with a local psychic and spiritual development group, were compared to items for an age-matched reference group (n = 61). T-scores for the reference group did not differ from those of the normal population. Whereas the psychic group did not differ from the reference group on various control and psychiatric measures, mean T-scores on clusters that infer complex partial epileptic signs (specifically a sense of presence, olfactory experiences, and intense meaning) ranged between 65 and 70. Group affiliation explained 22 to 50% of the variance for each of these variables; with discriminant analysis, they correctly classified 95% of both groups of participants.”

“Bivariate correlation analyses indicated that people who reported greater numbers of different types of paranormal experiences also reported greater numbers of temporal lobe signs. Whereas responses of one group (n = 108) of male and female university students gave a correlation of 0.60 between the two measures, for another group (n = 41) the correlation was 0.72. Partial correlation analyses, which involved holding the shared variance with affirmative responses to mundane psychological statements or odd sensations constant, did not alter the strength of the relationship. These results support the hypothesis that spontaneous paranormal experiences and the psychological components of complex partial (psychomotor) epilepsy may exist along the same continuum of temporal lobe sensitivity.”

“Correlations (r = 0.50) were found between the numbers of different psi (paranormal) experiences and the numbers of temporal lobe signs within a population of university students (n = 99). The strongest correlation of 0.60 occurred with a cluster of signs that are similar to symptoms reported by patients who show chronic foci in the mesiobasal temporal lobe. However, there were no significant correlations between numbers of different psi experiences and clusters of control items or a lie scale. Specific analyses of the 140 items of the inventory indicated only 23 reached statistical criterion (p less than .001). Of these 17 were direct temporal lobe signs that implied deepened affect, auditory-vestibular experiences (vibrations, hearing one's name called), olfactory auras, perseveration ("forced" thinking), depersonalization, and sense of the personal. Five items involved beliefs about exotic phenomena or philosophical ideas. Only one item was from a control cluster. These results support the hypothesis that mystical or paranormal experiences are associated with transient electrical foci within the temporal lobe of the human brain. The repeated occurrence of these experiences within normal individuals may be embedded within a more complex symptomatology of temporal lobe signs.”
