I would gather that it is wholly wrong...neurophysiological effects are not scientific facts and nothing neurological in that sense can be accurately measured. But it is wrong also because it states...Religious Belief. Belief is belief. There is virtually no difference between Religious Belief, Political Belief, or Societal Belief. None. Not to mention a lot of people meditate without any religion in mind. It is not religious belief, it is a practice or way of thinking. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science and technology has now advanced enough for us to observe the neurological /physiological processes and connections, including thoughts and emotions, inside a human brain, under laboratory conditions As long as nuerologists insist that consciousness resides wholely in the brain nuerological science is wrong or at the very least mostly wrong.

It certainly makes you a better man it shows you values which can help you living a healthy and better life, happy with yourself as well with your beloved Neighbors. Problem is when man does bad things in the name of the religion, it's actions in the name of religion becomes a religion within itself and this is how perception is being skewed. What religion are you talking about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, misquoting changes the meaning entirely. Other users were commenting on your posts not you. It's almost as if you committing the typical snowflake mistake of confusing actions witn the individual.

spartan max2 Posted January 25, 2021 #73 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) 19 hours ago, spartan max2 said: The prefrontal cortex is traditionally thought to be involved in executive control, or willful behavior, as well as decision-making. So, the researchers hypothesize, it would make sense that a practice that centers on relinquishing control would result in decreased activity in this brain area. I originally meant to highlight this part. I can definitely see how that would be beneifical to your emotions health. I'm curious if they would find similar things in people receiving therapy. Alot of therapy is teaching people to let go of the things they can't control. Edit: Oh... Oh I see... This thread has already reverted to the sections typical homeostasis.

XenoFish Posted January 25, 2021 #75 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Quote https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322539#_noHeaderPrefixedContent As for the Nuns mentioned, it does make sense that saying repeated prayers either mentally or verbally would exercise that area of the brain. Same goes for those who use affirmations and mantras. I can see in a way that by "putting your problems in god's hands" would decrease decision making skills. As intentional action for creating a change in one's life has been negated. Because "God'll fix it". So no reason to motivate yourself to do anything constructive. I think Davros has covered the neurochemical aspect of religion. There is no need for me to do it and he does it better anyways. I will admit that I find the spiritual experience part rather interesting and it makes me wonder if there is a connection with it and supposed astral projection. While I will admit that I do think there are some benefits to religion/spirituality, there are some pitfalls as well. Just like everything else. One being the idea of moral superiority and egocentrism. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
