Episode notes
Brain Wiring For Spiritual Perception
- Humans are born with neurocircuits for spiritual perception, making spirituality an inborn capacity alongside social and emotional systems.
- lisa miller explains it's one-third inborn wiring and two-thirds cultivated through prayer, meditation, service, and practice.
Same Brain Network For Love And God
- The brain's bonding network lights up both when held by caregivers and when sensing God's presence, giving a built-in feeling of being loved.
- lisa miller cites fMRI evidence that the same bonding network mediates parental attachment and spiritual knowing.
Brain As Antenna Not Factory
- The brain functions as an antenna or conduit that receives love, guidance, and sacred consciousness rather than solely producing thoughts.
- lisa miller reframes imagination as receptive 'imaging' that catches downloads from source.
