There Is a Paranormal Activity Lab at the University of Virginia

The market for stories of paranormal academe is a rich one. There’s Heidi Julavits’s widely acclaimed 2012 novel The Vanishers, which takes place at a New England college for aspiring Sylvia Brownes. And, of course, there’s Professor X’s School for Gifted Youngsters—Marvel’s take on Andover or Choate—where teachers read minds and students pass like ghosts through ivy-covered walls. The Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the University of Virginia’s School of Medicine is decidedly less fantastic than either Julavits’s or Marvel’s creations, but it's nevertheless a fascinating place. Founded in 1967 by Dr. What sorts of “phenomena” qualify? Dr. Tucker, who is a certified child psychiatrist, primarily works with children who’ve reported memories that are not their own—oftentimes linked to real-life individuals who lived decades in the past and thousands of miles away.

We May All Be Psychic: Data From 14 Year Global Consciousness Study Released - Who Forted? Magazine

Roger Nelson believes that random number generators can provide evidence of a “global consciousness” The original title of this post was going to “Highly Significant Data of 14 Year Global Consciousness Study Shows Evidence of Synchronicity”, but that was kind of a mouthful. Besides, I actually wanted people to read this, because the results of this study can’t really be understated: there is “highly significant” evidence that we may all be psychically linked. Researchers for the Global Consciousness Study just released their data collected from August 1998 to this, the first month of 2013, and their findings, while nowhere near complete, show hugely significant evidence that we all may be far more connected than we think.

Slide 5: Bhavanajagat. “EKAM EVA ADVITIYAM” – This statement in Sanskrit language is from Chandogya Upanishad( 6:2:1 ) and it means: “I, one alone and there is no second.”

Bhavanajagat

The original intent of this statement is that of seeking the unity of the Objective Reality of Man known as ‘ATMA’ ( the Individual Soul ) and the Ultimate Reality known as ‘PARAMATMA’ or Supersoul. There is no Duality between the two and there is no disunity between Man and God. However, God is not an object which is under Man’s control and the views about God are subjective opinions. I am quoting this statement to find the Unity of Man in body, mind, and soul. Man’s greatest need is not only to know the world around him but also to know himself better. Xplore Abstract (Abstract) - Buddha's Brain: Neuroplasticity and Meditation [In the Spotlight] Neuroscience and the Soul: The Dualism of John Carew Eccles. Although it was not always so, today the investigation of the relationship between the brain and the mind—the “problem of consciousness” —is reckoned by many to be neuroscience’s ultimate question.

Neuroscience and the Soul: The Dualism of John Carew Eccles

What happens, then, when a brain scientist, a consummate investigator awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, comes to the brain-mind question with an unshakable faith in what the answer must be? Will science and the experimental method prevail? This is the question raised by the career of Australian-born physiologist John Carew Eccles, who grew up in a religious tradition that dictated faith in an immaterial, immortal mind and spirit. Several times, Eccles’s path crossed that of Harvard University researcher J. Allan Hobson, whose discoveries about sleep and dreaming clashed head-on with belief in a mind that exists independent of the brain. Scientific knowledge is often at odds with religious belief.

For Eccles, as for such famous scientists as Sir Charles S. Biola University Center for Christian Thought. Are neuroscience and Christian belief compatible?

Neuroscience for the soul - Vol. 25, Part 7 ( July 2012) Craig Aaen-Stockdale searches for the truth in attempts to explain religious experience and behaviour The burgeoning field of ‘neurotheology’ or ‘spiritual neuroscience’ attempts to explain religious experience and behaviour in neuroscientific terms.

Neuroscience for the soul - Vol. 25, Part 7 ( July 2012)

Research in this field can swing erratically between the extremes of rigorous science and the fringes of pseudoscience in a perplexing and sometimes downright odd way. This lack of quality control stems mainly from the fact that it is a field that polarises opinion – due to the cosmic significance attached to each and every research finding, no matter how trivial, that emerges from the confines of the laboratory. This article plots a course through such research, asking whether there is a ‘neuroscience for the soul’. Buddhist meditators have thicker cortex in brain regions associated with attention.

The Historic Einstein-Tagore Meeting: Is Truth Independent of us?

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment. ~ Stream of Life, a Bengali poem from Gitanjali written by Rabindranath Tagore. Marshall Rosenberg.

Isn’t it better to be spiritual instead of being religious? Answer Summary: Yes, if by ‘spiritual’ we imply open-mindedness and by ‘religion’ close-mindedness. No, if by ‘spiritual’ we refer to a state of consciousness and by ‘religious’ a process to achieve that state of consciousness. Answer: The intention underlying this desire to be ‘spiritual-not-religious’ is laudable, but its application is questionable.

Usually the intention is that we should be broad-minded, not narrow-minded. That intention is fine, but is the underlying implication true? The Merging of Science and Spirituality.
