Here is an interesting article I read today about spirituality/mysticism. Here is a short quote to whet your appetite.
"The Dalai Lama reviewed the paper, and was a very pleased with it. He did have one criticism, however, and this prevented him from putting his name on it or from writing a forward to the article. Eventually, after I studied Dr. Persinger's work, I worked on this paper again and the point that the Dalai Lama objected to evaporated in the process. Now, the paper is awaiting publications by the (peer-reviewed) Journal for near-death studies. It should appear next year under the title : " The Structure and Function of Near-Death Experiences: an Algorithmic Reincarnation Hypothesis".
When a theory is accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed scientific journal, it enters the domain of science. Although many scientists might disagree with that theory, once a group of peers has decided that it's a valid theory, its critics must offer their debate in the scientific journals. Their private opinions no longer matter. By this reckoning, reincarnation is now science."
