Abstract: This paper considers the neuropsychology of religious and spiritual experiences. This
requires a review of our current understanding of brain function as well as an integrated synthesis
to derive a neuropsychological model of spiritual experiences. Religious and spiritual experiences
are highly complex states that likely involve many brain structures including those involved in
higher order processing of sensory and cognitive input as well as those involved in the
elaboration of emotions and autonomic responses. Such an analysis can help elucidate the
biological correlates of these experiences and provide new information regarding the function of
the human brain.

Meditation: A replication. Jurnal of Counseling Psychology, 1973, 20(6):565-566.
Subjects practicing Transcendental Meditation showed significant improvement in the following
traits when compared with a matched control group of subjects not practicing TM: inner-
directedness, time competence, self-actualization, spontaneity, sensitivity to one’s needs, self-
acceptance, and capacity for warm interpersonal relationships. The test used was the Personal
Orientation Inventory. Two independent studies also using the latter inventory confirmed these
results.
