This morning I watching a very old episode of “The Strange… True” (Sorry I don’t remember the whole name. It was about a new science called, Neurothology. A Dr. Michael Persinger, Canadian scientist of had made a helmet, which induces religious experience, by increasing an amount of electrodes on the temporal lopes. During clinical tests, they found a phenomenon; while in an isolated chamber test subjects were experiencing a presence, which the reseacher later named called THE SENSED PRESENCE. They went as far as treating a young girl who was terrified of going into her room because she felt a “being”. The scientist went in looking for extra energy sources that would induce the “being” and found that, her electronic alarm clock was the problem. Once the clock was re-moved, the young was no longer experiencing this other “being”. Other test subjects, had said that they felt the presences of “god” or a higher self. Another test subject didn’t feel anything, or just very relaxed.
1. If the haunts, are just an increase of electrodes in concertinaed areas, how come some people, feel fear, other feel “god” and some that didn’t feel anything? At what point does our body reads informations bad or good?
2. Why is the same does the same test produces a range of feelings, instead of just one?
3. If this true, then wouldn't that mean that there really are no ghosts, angels or gods and it's all in out in our heads?
4. At what point can we tell if our supernatural experiances real or not?
