Neuroscience, Spiritual Experiences and Self Transformation - Dr Andrew Newberg
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Through his brain-scan studies on Brazilian psychic mediums, Sufi mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, Pentecostals, and participants in secular spirituality rituals, Dr Andrew Newberg has discovered the specific neurological mechanisms underlying spiritual experiences - and how we might activate those circuits in our own brains. In his survey of more than one thousand people who have experienced enlightenment, Dr Newberg has also discovered that in the aftermath they have had profound, positive life changes.
In this talk, you’ll learn how spiritual experiences offer us the possibility to become permanently less stress-prone, to break bad habits, to improve our collaboration and creativity skills, and to lead happier, more satisfying lives. Relaying the story of his own transformational experience as well as the stories of others who try to describe an event that is truly indescribable, Dr Newberg will share a new paradigm for deep and lasting change.

Dr Andrew Nerberg is a neuroscientist, author, Professor, and the Research Director in the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He studies how brain function is associated with various mental states, and is a pioneer in the neurological study of religious and spiritual experiences - a field known as “neurotheology.” Dr Newberg’s research has included brain scans of people in prayer, meditation, rituals, and trance states, as well as surveys of people’s spiritual experiences and attitudes. He has also evaluated the relationship between religious or spiritual phenomena and health, and the effect of meditation on memory. He believes that it is important to keep science rigorous, and religion religious. You can learn more about Dr Newberg’s work at: www.andrewnewbe...

I am enjoying these session so much.
That part when you whispered
"I'm sorry you had to endure so much"
My heart needed to hear that.
And that decision to choose who I want to be, "hurt and hurting" or feeling the pain and remembering i am the light, love Jesus and Mary are in me.
And ask for help.
I 100% agree it is a great story to tell after to help other.
I do feel doubts ...
who can I shine on that?
Well " i know how you feel
And that you got hurt
And are afraid
And sad
For all the broken dreams
It is sad.
I love you and i actually care for you
Thank you for letting me know that you want me to stay with you.
I am well with you
I am well in my body"
Thank you everyone
Take care
Thank you very much for this lecture! I have had a mystical experience myself and the information in this lecture are very relatable.

And princes will rule for justice.

Thank you for bringing awareness to this subject.
Ian Macright talk about the diveded brain and the preslective of eace himespire...and talk about that the connection between both of them work as shut down the othet side.
So in mi 26:20 when you talked about the telmus I think oh that explan that now there is full trust on the left side and thats can bring the felling of clartiy.
Well this is very intresting talk.
Thank you.
Thank you. Fantastic information and inclusivity shown, I am so interested in your work 🙏
Very interesting 🧐
Very interesting, I wonder if you could do an extra video and go more in depth.
Gracias, gracias muchas gracias
It is not intense prayer that changes the brain. It is a prayer for the intrinsic value that changes the brain.
Awesome lecture
I saw a shining Greek cross appear to me and disappeared, what it means?
Surrender is a big word but in order for true surrender to occur its heart before the brain. I say this from personal experience.
Maybe brain work for Heart. So it’s not heart it self, its coming from brain from the first place
I urge Dr Newberg pay attention to birthday as another dimension to our neural development as he compares and sorts brain scans. I claim humans have evolved to respond to birthday, i.e. seasonal, differences in their early environment, which amount to a fundamental dimension, phase, of the annual cycle of daily levels of arriving solar energy, with a particular variety of neural networking patterns and parameters.
so the information content of the experience has no bearing on the resulting well-being?
Modern Physic can prove the phenomenon of mind how related with brain.
Mind science and modern science.

All you have investigated is really so interesting.. I only lament that you have not yet been able to know Reality because it would be the answer to all your doubts
I'm a zen Christian, tested by the Church of England Church Army Seminary Principal concerned to ascertain where my seer gift is rooted. That turned out to be metastatic, moving from a God-botherer to God-bothered, a seer medium used in European diplomacy. That was a path established for me long before my parents met, so there's no subjectivity to it. On occasion, my choices have even been overruled, sometimes astonishingly so.
When faced with the numinous, we're communicating with something far larger than we are, which may be a reason my brain runs at up to the Pavlovian Transmarginal Perception limit. I'd burn out otherwise.
The exact test the Principal set was effectively ESP, asking to be told what his presentation subject was. The congregation behaved rationally, complaining it was impossible, while I recognised it was a coherent consequence of what I'd done the previous Sunday, showing up deus ex machina to intercept a major problem at the instant it became comcrete. My response was to recognise that my experience in getting there was clearly from beyond me, so I passed the query onwards, clearing my channels in confession as I dropped into the deepest hole I could find. What emerged from my mouth was most definitely not from my consciousness, and then proved to be a perfect match to his prepared text, which he'd hidden under guard. From there it just grew, as part of basic confidence.
This, I now know from a First Caliphate text, is not unique. It moved me to a High-Sensitivity awareness of demands, which proved precisely pertinent to reality. All I had to do to complete Gandhi's unfinished business was wait at a particular spot. It just unfolded from there, and not by my seeking it out. I was reticent, but it was undeniable. It is not, therefore, constant. What is constant is the background level: I can tap the numinous power on demand, as I rate as a Reiki Master.
Whoa, this has a lot of specific jargon, I could barely understand what you said. It would be great if you could elaborate further or explain some of the jargons.
WORD SALAD
@@dar_jada When you've made a major contribution on the team which won a Nobel Peace Prize (2012), you're qualified to comment. Until such time, be silent.
@@JelMain you seem to think your pretty smart but haven’t figured out there is no such thing as a zen Christian…..
@@rileywiley268 Try telling the Japanese that. Just because the Buddhists are as big-headed as the Catholics doesn't mean they have a monopoly on that minimalist approach to meditation. Zen's also Taoist, and rooted in Lao Tzu's aphorism Blessed are the meek, from the Tao te i-ching, 200 years before Christ said the same thing. It just means great minds think alike.
I don't care what that does to your tidy box-classification of the inner world of the limbic system. All you're commenting on is one of at least 25 different approaches to the same thing. They're not 25 different things. It includes BDSM subspace, Shamanist trance, and religious meditation. Some are aware of a numinous presence, others not, although that may mean they're just not awake to it.
If that hurts some Religious monomania of yours, that's your problem, not mine. The furthest I'll go is recognising that Christian repentant confession is the most effective way to maintain a relationship with the numinous. Triumphalist dogma has done a shedload of harm to real faith, so if that's your game, this ends here.
I followed sufism under islam n even published books, but a deceased suci master initiated me tru astral projection n since then ive frequent out of body experiences whereby i obtain higher perception in seeing my past lives, contact with spirit guides even guardian angel n other beings. And discovered everything i know n believe r false.
