The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the SoulDo spiritual experiences come from God, or from the brain? Many scientists cling to the standard view that every cerebral event is triggered by some kind of physical factor. But science is unable to explain intuition, willpower, the "placebo effect" in medicine, or the sense of oneness with all of reality that occurs at times during meditation or prayer.

Do spiritual experiences come from God, or from the brain? Many scientists cling to the standard view that every cerebral event is triggered by some kind of physical factor. But science is unable to explain intuition, willpower, the "placebo effect" in medicine, or the sense of oneness with all of reality that occurs at times during meditation or prayer.
The Spiritual Brain gets to the real source of mystical experience. Authors Mario Beauregard and Denyse O'Leary explore current studies of spirituality, along with Beauregard's own research with Carmelite nuns. The authors present evidence that religious experiences have a non-physical origin, making a case for the possibility of a scientifically provable God. Mario Beauregard is associate researcher at the Departments of Psychology and Radiology and the Neuroscience Research Center, Universit de Montr al. His work in neurobiology and spirituality has received international media coverage. Dr. Beauregard was selected by the World Media Net as one of the One Hundred Pioneers of the 21st Century. He lives in Montreal, Canada. Denyse O'Leary is a Toronto-based freelance journalist who specializes in faith and science issues. Her recent books include Faith@Science and By Design or by Chance? She is also a regular guest on the Canadian television show "Behind the Story," and writes for Islam Online. "If you have a mind, you will find The Spiritual Brain a refreshing antidote to the strange arguments offered by some scientists who insist that their minds, and yours, are meaningless illusions." - Dean Radin, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds--Booklist (starred review)Binding Type: Paperback

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!
