Product Description
Is there proof that “near death” and other spiritual experiences can cure afflictions of the body, mind, and spirit? Are there simple ways to tap into a “universal power source” that spiritual masters call enlightenment? Is there scientific evidence of life after death that is being overlooked by skeptics? Is there scientific proof of a spot in our brains that communicates with God and the universe?Pediatrician Melvin Morse believes the answer to all these questions… More >>

This book is very scientific and deep. Was a hard read and I don’t think I ever finished it nor got anything valuable out of it.

There are far better books that make the argument that a spiritual realm exists, or that human consciousness may, in some way transcend the physical limitations of the body (see for example, Dean Radin’s books). This author clearly misreads and mis-applies the neurological data of the times, and he has a poor understanding of near death experiences. Today, spiritual experiences are well mapped in terms of the inner workings of the brain (see any of Andy Newberg’s books (Why God Won’t Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief, Why We Believe What We Believe: Uncovering Our Biological Need for Meaning, Spirituality, and Truth, How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist, How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist]. See Ramachandran’s writings as well, but even here, Newberg’s research is far more definitive. A lot has changed in the last 5 years in science. Newberg, for example, can argue that we have a God neuron, and Gene Hamer has decent evidence that we may even have a gene that biases us toward spiritual awareness. Great stuff there!

For anybody who has stopped to consider who we are; what we are; and why we are here this book is well worth reading. It is not necessary to have deep religious beliefs to appreciate the insight offered by Dr. Morse. He combines empirical work with scientific hypothesis to locate the “God point” in the right side of our brain and links stimulation of this point to NDEs and related phenomena such as healing and how to maintain good health. I have quite a collection of similar books but this is readable and I have no hesitation in recommending it to those of an inquiring mind.

I didn’t read the reviews until after buying and reading the book. I’m surprised at all the five-star ratings. I have read and enjoyed Dr. Morse’s previous books, but this one I found dense and boring.

An essential book for medical doctors, scientists and skeptics who has doubt about the paranormal world. The author provides scientific evidence and evaluates them as to relate the science and spirituality together. It centered on near death experience and brain functions, especially how the brains are linked to the universe.
