Alan Stenberg M.D., Enlightenment is Everything, Everywhere All At Once
Our brains can shed their evolutionary restrictions, allowing us a fuller life. Alan J. Steinberg M.D., Psychology Today, July 22nd 2022
KEY POINTS:
- Physics tells us that what we experience is not what reality is.
- According to evolutionary biology, our brains evolved to help our ancestors survive and reproduce, but our brains can grow beyond that.
- The core meditation experience is being unbounded by space and time, which rewires the brain to, over time, make that a constant experience.
- Enlightenment can be physiologically characterized by an EEG pattern that shows evidence of being both unbounded and bounded by time and space.
