From: Share Long <sharelong60@...> As for God, that too may simply be a word that ancients came up with to describe a certain kind of neurological experience. I find that a fascinating possibility for research as the ability to measure such becomes better. I agree, although I don't see science ever being able to measure all of what subjectively registers as spiritual experience. I do believe that much of it, however, will be found to be due to neurological brain farts -- neither "higher" or "lower," neither "good" nor "bad," and certainly not due to any experience of or intervention by a God. I think the growth of wisdom is a desirable thing, and something that takes place over a lifetime. I would call it the growth of spirituality. There may be instances of "flash", or maybe not. I really don't have a problem putting such experiences in the "good" column, and rating that higher than a life spent with no self reflection. YMMV
