By using this book to look into the brains of shamans, psychics, Sufis, Buddhist and Catholic monks, and charismatic believers, you will better understand the deepest foundations of your inner world and way of life. You will learn how Enlightenment changes the brain, including the principles of self-knowledge and excellence. According to the unique research of leading neuroscientists described in the book, Enlightenment can radically affect the functioning of the brain. When this happens, our perception of the world - and our own "I" in this world - completely changes. The book is of great value for anyone interested in religious life, mystical experience, self-knowledge and spiritual practices.
