When Neuropsychologists study the brain wave patterns of Tibetan monks and Franciscan contemplatives in prayer, they find the same neurological mechanisms at play in the deep spiritual experience.

This information, as it comes to the forefront, will totally revolutionize human understanding.

When Muslims, Jews and Christians discover that all their religions were founded in the neurological experience of Abraham, they will realize that the experience that their faith is built on, is rooted in an experience that each person can attain.

All the great faiths are rooted in that experience. All religions come from the same root. The experience of Abraham, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna and Christ was basically the same experience. Our interpretations of that experience give us the religions that we adhere to.

Departments of Neuro-Theology are now being created in universities, Columbia University being one of them.

There is only one religion, and it is rooted in an experience that is attainable.
