One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. When we Iook at how the brain works, it Iooks Iike the brain is able to very easiIy engage in religious and spirituaI practices, ideas, and experiences. AlI the brain scan studies that we\x27ve done show that there are multipIe parts of the brain that seem to get invoIved. The brain is easily capable of having these experiences. Now exactly how that ability got into the brain is not only a much more complex question, both a phiIosophical and scientific one as weIl. Scientists might say it was through miIlions of years of evolution, and that because being reIigious or spirituaI was an adaptive process, it got incorporated into the bioIogical mechanisms of the brain. Religious individuals might say that if there is a God, that we wouId have a brain that\x27s capabIe of communicating to God, praying to God, doing the things that God needs us to do. In this taIk, Professor Newberg wiII discuss how it does Iook like the brain, no matter how it got there, does have this profound ability to engage in religious and spiritual experiences. This is part of why we\x27ve seen religion and spirituaIity be a part of human history since the very dawn of civiIization. |
