Hardwired to Heaven

by Joan Cerio

Publisher: Findhorn Press (US) Published: 2014 Category: Spirituality & Mindfulness

Discovery awaits those who have long sensed that human beings are inherently wired for spiritual connection and transcendent experience. Through a compelling blend of neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, readers embark on a fascinating journey into the biological foundations of mystical experience and our innate capacity for higher consciousness.

The fundamental premise explored here challenges the notion that spirituality exists separate from our physical nature. Instead, compelling evidence demonstrates that our brains and nervous systems are literally structured to facilitate communion with the divine, mystical states, and profound spiritual awakening. This isn't metaphor or wishful thinking but observable neurobiology that can be understood, accessed, and cultivated intentionally.

Readers discover how specific regions of the brain activate during prayer, meditation, and mystical experiences, revealing that these aren't aberrations or signs of mental instability but natural expressions of our neurological design. The examination of brain chemistry, neural pathways, and the remarkable plasticity of our nervous systems illuminates why humans across all cultures and throughout history have reported remarkably similar spiritual experiences. We share a common biological foundation that predisposes us toward transcendence.
