If you're interested, here are some links: Michael Persinger is a brain researcher who has had some success in artificially inducing a feeling that some interpret as religiosity by directing a strong magnetic field into a specific part of the brain. It doesn't work consistently but appears to be linked to the subject's suggestibility. This is reinforced by the fact that the subjects' religious visions can be somewhat manipulated by changing the decor, so if you put a subject in a room decorated with Eastern decor, he would be more likely to experience visions of Eastern deities for example. Relevant link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/godonbrain.shtml Similar to the video link you posted, recent research also suggests that subjects who have incurred damage to specific parts of their brains are prone to feeling transcendence. Surgically removing specific parts of the brain works as well.

You seem to think that this demonstrates the reality of what is sometimes known as the transcendence effect and that this is something that we should strive for. In my case, I certainly agree that the transcendence effect exists but this demonstration only proves that the effect is simply a product of the brain's biochemistry and that there are no supernatural causes for it. If you enjoy that feeling then, by all means, you should try to reach that state of mind, even if you have to induce it artificially. But I do not agree that just because this effect exists that we have to reach it. After all, being drunk is another brain state. What if someone enjoys the state of inebriation? Similarly, I enjoy playing games and the brain state I strive for can be summed up as "enjoyable frustration".
