That is interesting BTS!
I wonder if it is distinguishable which aspects of activity are taking place for all manner of psycho positives, from orgasm to meditation?
I wonder if a science is able, right now to decipher the aspects of brain activity which are common to each or distinct? That would be a beautiful Venn diagram!!
I know that being a believer in a Biblical god and having notions of salvation from all the worlds ills does posit a mild transcendent state of mind - albeit too easily removed by a meeting at the local KH (what irony)
And I also know that nature based faiths, if embraced by ones soul and inner self (absent any Biblical god or satan) can create sensations in the body which are uncontrollable - like shivering in the snow but with added value!
Most confusing but undeniable and minus any drugs (alcohol is my only vice - or temporary self harm/escapism)
So I find the above stuff fascinating and I must confess I know little about any of it save that which I feel in my inner self!
Mmmm?????????
