Why do people have near-death experiences? Are there physical explanations for out-of-body sensations and tunnels of light? What about moments of spiritual ecstasy? In this exploration, a neurologist with three decades of experience examines the biology behind human spirituality, deconstructing the spiritual self and uncovering its origins in primitive areas of the brain. Through revolutionary studies on near-death experiences, it is revealed that spiritual experiences are incidental products of various neurological processes acting independently. When we feel close to God or sense the presence of departed relatives, we may believe we are standing at the border of this world and the next. However, the reality is different: our brain function resembles a Cubist painting, and the experiences we consider the height of humanity are produced by primal reflexes. This journey into the borderlands of consciousness offers a comprehensive, empirically-tested, peer-reviewed examination of our capacity for near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and mystical states induced by hallucinogenic drugs.
