[quote=Anonymous][quote=FruminousBandersnatch][quote=Anonymous]Here is a terrific article on proof of the soul, or if not proof, at least something that current science can not explain:

Near death, explained
New science is shedding light on what really happens during out-of-body experiences -- with shocking results.
MARIO BEAUREGARD
 
Near death, explained
This article was adapted from the new book "Brain Wars", from Harper One.

...
Mario Beauregard is associate research professor at the Departments of Psychology and Radiology and the Neuroscience Research Center at the University of Montreal. He is the coauthor of "The Spiritual Brain" and more than one hundred publications in neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry.[/quote]

The article was on Salon.com in 2012 at http://www.salon.com/2012/04/21/near_death_explained/

The article prompted this response from PZ Myers, who writes the science blog Pharyngula: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/04/30/near-death-rehashed/

Myers' response included a quote from [u]The Spiritual Brain[/u]. I'll let you be the judge of Beauregard's scientific conclusions:

[quote]“Individual minds and selves arise from and are linked together by a divine Ground of Being (or primordial matrix). That is the spaceless, timeless, and infinite Spirit, which is the ever-present source of cosmic order, the matrix of the whole universe, including both physics (material nature) and psyche (spiritual nature). Mind and consciousness represent a fundamental and irreducible property of the Ground of Being. Not only does the subjective experience of the phenomenal world exist within mind and consciousness, but mind, consciousness, and self profoundly affect the physical world…it is this fundamental unity and interconnectedness that allows the human mind to causally affect physical reality and permits psi interaction between humans and with physical or biological systems. With regard to this issue, it is interesting to note that quantum physicists increasingly recognize the mental nature of the universe.”[/quote]

A "divine ground of being"  right -- I see that all the time in scientific journals.[/quote]
