SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY
If you're Andrew Newberg, you can call it straight-up spirituality, because you're not interested in beating around the bush. Dr. Andrew Newberg is a radiologist at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital whose has made it his life's work to explore spirituality using neuroimaging tools. Long before I took my turn in his SPECT scanner, Newberg had scanned Tibetan Buddhist monks deep in meditation, Franciscan nuns praying the rosary, and Pentecostals speaking in tongues.

Psychologists from The University of Manchester and London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) also showed that small positive personality changes may lead to greater increases in happiness than earning more money, marrying, or gaining employment.

AUDIENCE
"Today it is possible to argue that we have all become gay white negroes. We all listen to "edgy urban" music, spend our time in the gym, go shopping and groom ourselves, take lots of drugs, have sex and then spend the rest of the time talking to our friends about the impossibility of finding real love and connection in the world. Far from an expression of rebellion it has become the conformity of our age. And if Mailer was right - that it was a sensibility originally born out of the existential fears of nuclear holocaust - then it lost its real radical purpose when the cold war ended."

The IONS laboratory is one of a few in the world devoted to studying the relationship between consciousness and the physical world. The lab houses a broad array of instrumentation, ranging from psychophysiological monitors of autonomic and central nervous system activity (e.g., electrocardiogram, heart rate, skin conductance, electrogastrogram, respiration, blood flow, 32 channel EEG), to physical detectors of mind-matter interaction (e.g., random event generators, optical interferometers, magnetometers, speed of light measurements). A fully networked infrastructure allows high speed within-lab and Internet access, and a solid steel, double-walled, electromagnetically shielded room provides ample space for studies requiring energetic or sensory isolation.

Very simply, 'natural inclusionality' means 'Loving Life'. By the same token, to be 'natural inclusional' means 'To Love Life'. All that Life needfully entails is included in this condition - there can be no exceptions.
This is where the profound difference from all forms of 'Abstract Rationality' arises. Abstract Rationality, by definition, makes exceptions, removing from its view what it chooses not to like or that it finds inconvenient, ultimately founded on the abstract exclusion of space from form or form from space.
We think that natural inclusionality, a receptive, dynamic relational comprehension of space and boundaries, can radically transform the way we think, feel and behave, enabling us to live in a more peaceful, co-creative and sustainable way together within Nature.

He also asked them what it was like. Most reported mystical experiences in which they lost their sense of themselves and felt they became absorbed into everything around them. That analysis was corroborated by the scans, which showed altered blood flows in parts of the brain known to handle our concept of self. It's bona fide research, in case you're wondering, peer-reviewed and published by the US National Academy of Sciences.
Such results are not entirely unexpected. The same thing has been observed in experiments scanning the brains of Franciscan nuns at prayer and Buddhist monks deep in meditation: the sense of self disappears and eternity and infinity take over.
