Abstract for scientists

Neurocluster Brain Model analyses the processes in the brain from the point of view of the computer science.
The brain is a massively parallel computing machine which means that different areas of the brain process the information independently from each other.
Neurocluster Brain Model shows how independent massively parallel information processing explains the underlying mechanism of previously unexplainable phenomena such as sleepwalking, dissociative identity disorder (a.k.a. multiple personality disorder), hypnosis, etc.


Abstract for non-scientists

Neurocluster Brain Model is the brain model based on neuroscience which demystifies, reveals and explains all religious and occult phenomena.
Millions of people have experienced various religious and occult phenomena however skeptical scientists deny even the existence of such phenomena.
The denial of the phenomena is not the solution because the denial provides no explanation why so many people claim to have experienced various religious and occult phenomena.
Instead of denial the scientific explanation of underlying mechanisms is needed.
Neurocluster Brain Model provides the scientific explanation of underlying mechanisms of religious and occult phenomena. Neurocluster Brain Model succeeds where other scientific models fail.
For the first time ever all religious experiences (communication with Gods, angels, demons, etc) and psychic powers (mediumship, psychography, telepathy, etc) are revealed and explained in the scientific way.


Brief summary of Neurocluster Brain Model

When a man sees new unknown object for the first time then finite number of neurons in the brain (cluster of neurons) stores information about object's model (how the object looks, how the object moves, how the object behaves, etc).
Information about that object is saved not in the whole brain, but only in the finite “piece of the brain” – the evidence for that are experimental data about brain damage – if the brain is damaged in some local area then brain loses information only about some classes of objects, but not about all objects.
The model of the object is stored inside the “piece of the brain” (cluster of neurons) and this neurocluster acts not only as passive “data file” but also under special conditions (explained below) this neurocluster can act as “executable file” which can simulate the behavior of stored object for the main personality – this is the underlying mechanism of how religious adepts communicate with spirits/angels/Gods/etc and also the underlying mechanism of other religious and occult phenomena.
When connections between clusters of neurons are suppressed or inhibited, the single unified personality dissociates (splits) into separate multiple personalities which can act autonomously – this happens during the dream, during prolonged sensory deprivation, during prolonged sleep deprivation, during prolonged fasting, by disturbing the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain, by using special techniques, etc.

In order to understand Neurocluster Brain Model you need to have the knowledge of multiple disciplines of science.
Prerequisites for understanding of Neurocluster Brain Model are: analog computers, non-electronic computers, massively parallel computing, neuroscience, etc.


Prototypes of Neurocluster Brain Model

Different researchers working in completely different areas have reached similar conclusions and have built similar prototypes of Neurocluster Brain Model.
As for example, Marvin Minsky came to these conclusions while he was trying to create intelligent robot machines, Roger Sperry while he was experimenting with split-brain patients, Pierre Janet while he was experimenting with hypnosis, Joseph-Pierre Durand while he was cutting lower animals in pieces, etc.
The table below contains shortened example list of researchers who have built crude incomplete prototypes of Neurocluster Brain Model.
The full detailed list of researchers is provided in the page “The history of Neurocluster Brain Model”.

As you can see from the list above, the best minds of mankind worked towards the creation of Neurocluster Brain Model.
If you want to find out what these best minds of mankind were working on and what they were trying to create, then please read below the full description of the Neurocluster Brain Model.


Full description (last updated at: August 30, 2022)

The human brain contains billions of neural cells however the man perceives himself as having only one(1) personality, one(1) consciousness, and people who believe in the existence of the soul perceive themselves as having only one(1) soul. Human brain contains billions of neurons however vast majority of people strongly believe that all these billions of neurons contain only one(1) personality, one(1) consciousness, one(1) soul. This “one human body contains one consciousness” model is sufficient to explain the majority of events in casual normal routine life and this is the reason why this model has become de facto accepted model in all human cultures and societies without ever doubting its validity. Medieval scholars were debating the question “how many angels can fit on the head of a pin?” (a.k.a. “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”), however nobody has ever raised the question “how many souls can be contained in one human body?” assuming by default that one(1) human body contains only one(1) soul.

However let’s raise a simple question: does this “one human body contains one consciousness” model really can explain all phenomena that man experiences?
The answer is: “one human body contains one consciousness” model actually fails to explain the vast range of phenomena which a man experiences, as it will be shown in this website.
Let’s begin with the simple example.
All religions claim that the soul is immortal and indestructible, the soul is unbreakable, and the soul can not be divided into small pieces. Some religions (like for example Hinduism) claim that besides humans all living creatures have a soul – all animals, plants, trees do have a soul. What is the source of these claims about soul properties? All religions claim that their sacred texts are divinely or supernaturally revealed or inspired.
Let’s analyze these claims a little bit.
Hinduism claims that every plant has a soul and that the soul is unbreakable and can not be divided into small pieces (Bhagavad-gītā. 2.23-24).

However let’s analyze a simple phenomenon like plant propagation from cuttings. Plant cutting (a.k.a. as striking or cloning) is a technique for vegetatively (asexually) propagating plants in which a piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil, potting mix, coir or rock wool. The cutting produces new roots, stems, or both, and thus becomes a new plant independent of the parent.
Using plant cutting technique we can divide one plant into many pieces and every such new piece now has become a separate plant. Since every plant has a soul, this means that one soul of the original plant was divided into many souls using such primitive technique as plant cutting.
As we can see from this very simple example, religious knowledge (which is claimed to have been originated from divine and supernatural sources) about soul properties contradicts very simple well known experimental facts like plant propagation from cuttings.

Now let’s go to the animal kingdom. The male paper nautilus (a.k.a. argonaut octopus) possesses a specialized, extended tentacle, called a hectocotylus, where packets of sperm are stored. When a male paper nautilus detects a female, the hectocotylus detaches from the octopus body and swims towards the female under its own power. The hectocotylus inserts its load into the female’s mantle and can remain active, depositing sperm in her even as its owner goes on his way. The male, essentially, has sex in absentia. The first scientists to observe the hectocotylus in action actually misidentified it as a parasitic worm attached to the female paper nautilus.
Let’s raise a simple question: has hectocotylus a separate soul or not? Religious sacred texts fail to answer such question.

Those were examples about plants and animals, but what about humans? Anyway, there are many people who believe that only humans have souls and these people believe that plants and animals do not have any soul whatsoever.
Let’s raise a simple question: how many souls are contained in conjoined twins (a.k.a. Siamese twins): one or two souls? Religious leaders get very confused when being asked such a simple question because the fact of multiple human souls residing in one physical body contradicts their religious doctrines.
However let’s raise a simple question: how many souls can be contained in one human body? Humanity did not possess tools and technologies which would allow to investigate this question up until the twentieth century. However in the late 1950s things has dramatically changed when neurosurgeons began experiments with the human brain. Some people have epilepsy. Epilepsy is a phenomenon when a small number of neurons in the brain excite themselves via positive feedback neural circuits which leads to the excitation of nearby neurons and this excessive hypersynchronous neuronal activity spreads through large areas of the brain. There are many ways to treat epilepsy however all these treatments share the same common working principle – in order to eliminate the epileptic seizures you need to suppress the excitement of neurons and you need to suppress the spread of the neural excitement through the large areas of the brain. However in some patients all known treatment methods fail and the patient continues to have frequent and strong epileptic seizures. In the late 1950s neurosurgeons decided to try out new drastic method for dealing with such extra hard epilepsy cases. The hypothesis of new treatment method was the following. Human brain consists of two hemispheres which are connected via link which is called corpus callosum. During the epileptic seizure the synchronous neuronal activity originates in one hemisphere and then via corpus callosum it reaches the another hemisphere thus spreading through the whole brain. If we would cut corpus callosum then synchronous neuronal activity which originated in one hemisphere would be stopped from spreading into another hemisphere and this would eliminate epileptic seizure. Several patients with hardest epilepsy cases were chosen to test out the hypothesis and corpus callosum was cut in these patients. Such patients who have their corpus callosum cut are called “split-brain patients”. The hypothesis of neurosurgeons was confirmed to be correct – the cutting of corpus callosum eliminated or greatly reduced epileptic seizures in split-brain patients. However experiments with split-brain patients revealed very interesting side effect of corpus callosum cutting. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. When interconnection between hemispheres (corpus callosum) is cut then both hemispheres begin to act autonomously from each other. For example, when split-brain sits near his wife, the left hand of the patient hugs and fondles the wife, however at the same time the right hand of the patient angrily beats the wife – different hemispheres of the split-brain patient have made different judgments towards the wife and both hemispheres act independently from each other. In other words, the cutting of corpus callosum created two(2) autonomous personalities, which think differently and make different decisions on the same subject and these decisions might be even diametrically opposite. Experiments with split-brain patients revealed that the cutting of corpus callosum produces two(2) autonomous personalities, two(2) autonomous consciousnesses, and for those who believe in the existence of soul – two(2) autonomous souls. Split-brain experiments revealed that one(1) human consciousness can be artificially divided into two(2) consciousnesses by simple cutting of corpus callosum.

When two hemispheres of the (healthy) brain are connected via corpus callosum link then such man is unable to accomplish two different independent tasks with two hands simultaneously because one hemisphere hinders another hemisphere by sending commands via corpus callosum link. For example, if a man takes a pencil into each of two hands and tries to draw two independent pictures with both hands simultaneously (for example a circle with one hand and a square with another hand) – the man will be unable to cope with such task. You can try doing that yourself and see if you will succeed. However when corpus callosum link is cut then after such surgery the man has no troubles to accomplish two different independent tasks with both hands simultaneously – as for example, drawing a circle with one hand and a square with another hand is an easy task for split-brain patient.

Here is the documentary movie which shows experiments with split-brain patient.

For some scientific articles about split-brain experiments please click here.

In year 1981 Roger Wolcott Sperry was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his achievements in split-brain research. Roger Sperry’s split-brain experiments showed that the man can have independent thoughts in the right side of the brain that control man’s behavior yet remain outside of man’s awareness.

Roger Sperry’s coworker Michael Gazzaniga who worked with Sperry on the first split-brain experiments, continued to work further with split-brain patients. Michael Gazzaniga came to the conclusion that there are not two, but actually hundreds of independent, specialized modules of thinking in man’s brain that all compete for control of the man’s behavior. According to Michael Gazzaniga one of those thinking modules tries to explain all of our behavior, even though it is only in control occasionally. Michael Gazzaniga has named this module as the “interpreter module”. Thomas R. Blakeslee concluded that this “interpreter module” is actually the physical basis of what people normally call the “self”. Thomas R. Blakeslee renamed “interpreter module” into “self module”. According to Thomas R. Blakeslee most behavior of the man is controlled by other modules of the mind to which the self module has no access.
Physicist Michio Kaku in his book “The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind” wrote that “MIT professor Marvin Minsky, one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence, told me that the mind is more like a “society of minds,” with different submodules, each trying to compete with the others.”.
In Neurocluster Brain Model we use the term “main personality” instead of Gazzaniga’s “interpreter module” and Blakeslee’s “self module”.

Pierre Janet (one of the founding fathers of psychology) in year 1889 in his doctorate of science thesis provided graphical schema which shows the underlying neuronal mechanism of single personality dissociation (splitting) into separate multiple personalities. Unfortunately this graphical schema was ignored and forgotten by later researchers.
Janet’s graphical schema provides very clear graphical explanation of Neurocluster Brain Model, so you should always keep this graphical schema in mind when reading the material about Neurocluster Brain Model.
We have made animated version of Janet’s graphical schema which is available here.

In psychology and psychiatry one of the most heavily used terms is “consciousness”.
Please read the detailed article which explains why “the term “consciousness” does not meet the scientific criteria”.
It is important to note however that pseudoscientific term “consciousness” is so deeply rooted into society that this makes almost impossible to avoid it when discussing the functioning of the brain. In Neurocluster Brain Model we use pseudoscientific term “consciousness” only for legacy reasons in order to simplify comprehension of material for the reader – sometimes a little inaccuracy saves a ton of explanation.

Philosophers and religious adepts very often define “spirit” with the following definition: “spirit is the opposite of matter”. However, if we will raise a simple question: “what is the opposite of the material stone/table/chair/etc?” then it becomes very obvious that the definition “spirit is the opposite of matter” has no meaning whatsoever.

The most fundamental existential question is “who am I?” – the same question rephrased in more scientific way is “what is the definition of “I”?”. If we answer this question incorrectly then all our subsequent actions in our life are meaningless.

Let's do simple thought experiment. Suppose I am sitting in the room and I cut off my one leg and throw it out the window, and now the question – where I am left: inside the room or outside the window? The answer is obvious – I am in the room and not outside the window, which means that the location of “I” is not in the leg which was cut off. Now let’s cut off the arm and throw it out the window, and now the question – where I am left: inside the room or outside the window? The answer is obvious – I am in the room and not outside the window, which means that the location of “I” is not in the arm which was cut off. In the same way we can cut off other parts of the body and throw them out the window as well, we can replace all internal organs with artificial ones (artificial heart, etc) throwing original organs out the window, and every time when we cut off some piece of my body and throw these pieces out the window – “I” still remains in the room and not outside the window. Some people think that “I” is located in the neurons of the brain. Well, theoretically we can replace a single original natural neuron by artificial neuron which has exactly the same functionality as the original natural neuron – in that case “I” will remain unchanged. Then we can replace the second original natural neuron by artificial neuron, then we can replace the third neuron, the fourth neuron, and so on – even when all neurons in the brain will be replaced by artificial neurons – the “I” will remain unchanged. So what is “I”, where “I” is located? Neurocluster Brain Model provides the answer to this question.

Neurocluster Brain Model defines “I” (a.k.a. “spirit”, “soul”, “consciousness”, etc) as the software which runs on neural-network-hardware (i.e. on neurons of the brain).
“I” is not the material neurons themselves however “I” is the software which runs on neural-network-hardware. “I” can be cloned/copied or ported to another hardware and can successfully run on another hardware even when the first hardware is physically destroyed – exactly in the same way as the computer program can be cloned/copied or ported to another hardware. Thus, periodical transferring of “I-software” to another new hardware provides unlimited existence time (a.k.a. “immortality”). At the current moment the cloning/copying or porting of whole “I-software” to another hardware is not technically feasible, however this might become feasible in future. However microscopic pieces of “I” can be made “immortal” even today. We will explain more detailed.
When “I” is defined as software that means that “I-object” is a divisible object, it can be divided into many composing parts, just exactly in the same way as the large software program can be decomposed into smaller submodules/subroutines/functions/etc.
For many practical applications in order to achieve the needed goal you do not need to copy the whole program code, it is enough to take and to copy just a small submodule/subroutine/function taken from that huge software project.
To demonstrate the general principle of copying ability it is enough to demonstrate that some small piece of software can be copied.
Let’s apply this to the human brain.
Suppose man X spends hundreds of hours thinking and trying to find solution to some problem Z and finally he succeeds. The solution which he has found in the form of information is saved into his brain neurons and this solution becomes the part of that man’s “I” (because by definition “I” is the software/information). This man X can tell and teach another man Y how to solve problem Z, the man X can copy the problem solving algorithm into another man’s Y brain. After the problem solving algorithm was copied into another man’s Y brain, some teeny-tiny portion of man X “I” was copied into man’s Y brain.
This simple example demonstrates the principle that some small teeny-tiny piece of “I-software” can be copied into another hardware.
To clarify the idea let’s illustrate with the concrete example. Newton discovered the formula “F=m*a” which had become the part of Newton’s “I” and later this formula “F=m*a” was copied into the brains (hardware) of other people and this formula traveling from one brain (hardware) into another brain has become “immortal”, in other words, the tiny little piece of Newton’s “I” has become immortal and lives until today.
The definition of “I” as a software which runs on neural-network-hardware is completely different from 1) the views of materialists and 2) the views of religious adepts.
Materialists consider themselves as the stack of material atoms, materialists consider themselves as DNA molecule, and materialists see their “immortality” via the replication of their own DNA molecule, thus materialists desperately desire to produce material children naively believing that production of children supposedly extends the existence of their own “I” – while not the exactly the true “I”, but at least a somewhat corrupted copy of “I” (corrupted copy of DNA molecule). It is interesting to note that biological children of the parents-scientists/discoverers usually do not carry on the ideas/experience of their parents-scientists/discoverers – the newly discovered scientific ideas, as a rule, are carried on only by strangers in blood, which means that biological children do not help at all to “immortalize” the ideas of their parents-scientists/discoverers.

Religious adepts consider that “I” is some kind of a “cloudlet” which can detach from physical body and which can float/travel through space, which can travel to paradise/hell or reincarnate into some other living creature/being. Religious adepts are strongly convinced that observance of rules written in the sacred scriptures will somehow help “I-cloudlet” to reach the better existence conditions in post-mortal existence – the falseness of such claims will be explained in details in the text below which describes Neurocluster Brain Model.
It is important to note that Neurocluster Brain Model describes all processes in the brain from the information processing point of view. All objects/terms used in the dictionary of Neurocluster Brain Model (like “main personality”, “egregor”, “dream characters”, etc) actually denote information objects which have more of less equivalents in computer science like “software”, “program”, “routine”, “subroutine”, “function”, “procedure”, etc.
And this raises an interesting technical question: Neurocluster Brain Model is a materialistic model or not? The answer depends on how you answer the question: information is matter or not? Information cannot exist without a material carrier, however information itself is not a matter.

In psychiatry there is one rare disorder called „multiple personality disorder“. „Multiple personality disorder“ is the disorder when several (2, 3, 5, 10, etc) different personalities “live” in one(1) human body and these different personalities switch between each other unpredictably in very similar way like TV channels are switched on TV. For example, a man with a name “John” who is a musician sits still in a chair and suddenly a phone rings (trigger stimulus) and in a moment the personality of the man switches into another personality with a name “Thomas” who is a sculptor. John knows nothing about Thomas, and Thomas knows nothing about John. After some random time Thomas unexpectedly switches back to John. And these personalities switch back and forth the same way like TV channels are switched on TV.
The main difference of „multiple personality disorder“ patient from “split-brain” patient is the following. In the case of „multiple personality disorder“ only one(1) personality is available at one moment of time, while in the case of “split-brain” patient both two(2) personalities are available simultaneously.
„Multiple personality disorder“ is among the most controversial of the dissociative disorders in psychiatry, and among the most controversial disorders found in the DSM-5. Psychiatry has no clear consensus regarding neither the diagnosis of „multiple personality disorder“ nor its treatment. In year 1994 American Psychiatric Association renamed „multiple personality disorder“ into improper name „dissociative identity disorder (DID)” which clearly reveals that current psychiatry has no clue whatsoever about underlying mechanism of „multiple personality disorder“. The only thing which psychiatry admits is the existence of patients in which multiple personalities switch back and forth like TV channels, however psychiatry has neither the model of „multiple personality disorder“ nor the understanding of underlying mechanisms of „multiple personality disorder“. The reason for this is very simple. The brain is a massively parallel computing machine (i.e. a computer), so if you want to understand the activity of the brain, you need the knowledge about the (massively parallel) computing machines from the fields of the computer science and electronics. However, the majority of psychologists/psychiatrists do not have even the most elementary knowledge from the fields of computer science and electronics, which means that they do not have the necessary knowledge to understand the brain activity, which means that such people are simply incompetent to make conclusions about the brain activity.

To read about the history of multiple personality disorder (a.k.a. dissociative identity disorder) please click here.

Usually a man is completely unaware that he has multiple personality disorder, however it can be diagnosed with simple basic set of questions.
Diagnostic criteria for multiple personality disorder are the following:
(a shortened paraphrase of Dissociative Identity Disorder Diagnostic Criteria 300.14 (F44.81) from “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 5th Edition - DSM-5”, published in 2013 by American Psychiatric Publishing)
1) Missing time and gaps in the memory.
Are there any episodes of “missing time” in your life? Are there any gaps in your memory? As for example, maybe you do not remember what you were doing yesterday from 3:00 PM till 8:00 PM, or maybe you do not remember what happened today from 8:00 AM till 12:00 PM, etc.
2) Strange things among your belongings.
Are there any episodes of you discovering the evidence of your actions and tasks that you do not recollect doing?
As for example, maybe you sometimes find new things among your belongings that you do not remember buying? As for example, maybe you have found an ashtray with smoked cigarettes in your home when you are completely sure that you are non-smoker, or maybe you have found leather clothes in your closet which perfectly fits your body however you are completely sure that you hate leather clothes, etc.
Are there any episodes of you finding (perplexing) writings, drawings, or notes among your belongings that you cannot remember doing?
3) Injuries coming out of nowhere.
Are there any episodes of you discovering injuries “coming to” in the midst of doing something?
4) “Teleportation”.
Are there any episodes of your “teleportation”? Are there any episodes when you have suddenly found yourself at work, in a nightclub, at the beach, or somewhere at home (e.g., in the closet, on a bed or sofa, in the corner) with no memory of how you came to be there?
5) Voices in the head.
Are there any episodes of you hearing voices inside your head that tell you to do things or comment on things that you are doing?
It is important to note that all these symptoms of multiple personality disorder are not attributable to psychotropic substances (alcohol, narcotics, etc) or another medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). These signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual.

What is the underlying mechanism of „multiple personality disorder“? It is very simple. Some part (zone) of the brain (“piece” of the brain, cluster of neurons, i.e. neurocluster) “declares independence” from the rest of the brain and starts to “think” autonomously.
If several such autonomous neuroclusters exist then two scenarios are possible:
1) autonomous neuroclusters compete with each other for which one will take over the control of the body. In this scenario only one personality is available at one time for the outside observer. If another autonomous neurocluster takes over the control of the body, then personality changes in a man in similar way like TV channel is switched on TV. This switching of personalities can be back and forth – at one time one neurocluster takes over the control, at another time another neurocluster takes over the control.
Here again two scenarios are possible:
a) if autonomous neurocluster has friendly symbiotic attitude towards rest of the brain, then we have „multiple personality disorder“ or holy spirit possession (angel/etc);
b) if autonomous neurocluster has hostile attitude towards rest of the brain, then we have demonic/satanic/black spirit possession – and such cases are very common – lunatic asylums are full of such patients.
2) autonomous neuroclusters act simultaneously dividing the brain into several spheres of influence – in such case we get independent subject/personality (“homunculus”) which lives in the human brain and is able to generate and send sounds and pictures to the main personality. In such scenario man is absolutely sure that he is communicating with spirits/extraterrestrial beings/angels/demons or even with the God or voice of the universe. Human brain fMRI scans show that when man hears hallucinatory sounds and/or sees hallucinatory images – at that time brain zones which are responsible for hearing/seeing are active – the man really hears and sees them.

For some movies about “demonic possession” please click here.

The existence of autonomous neuroclusters can be clearly seen in split-brain patients. The most important and interesting result from split-brain experiments is when different information (text or picture) is provided into different hemispheres simultaneously. The technical accomplishment is very easy. The right field of view provides information for the left hemisphere and the left field of view provides information for the right hemisphere. If different pictures are provided into different fields of view then different hemispheres get different information. The split-brain patient can easily tell what the left hemisphere has seen because the language production zone (Broca's area) is located in the left hemisphere. However when information is provided for the right hemisphere then the split-brain patient is unable to tell what he has seen, the split-brain patient claims that he saw nothing. The most important and interesting part of the experiment is when a sheet of paper is given to the split-brain patient and he is asked that left hand (i.e. right hemisphere) would draw a picture of what it has seen. And the left hand draws on the paper the object which was seen by the right hemisphere. During the drawing process the left hemisphere tries to recognize the object in drawn picture – sometimes it recognizes drawn object quite easily however sometimes it fails to recognize the object in the picture. The right hemisphere does not have the access to the information which is at the disposal of the left hemisphere and the left hemisphere does not have the access to the information which is at the disposal of the right hemisphere.
However the right hemisphere can transfer information into the left hemisphere via picture drawn on the paper, i.e. via exterior and not via internal link in the brain (because corpus callosum is cut). I.e. the right hemisphere can communicate with the left hemisphere only as two separate independent personalities via external outside link. For more details please see the documentary movie below “Severed Corpus callosum” starting from 2 minutes 51 seconds. During the experiment the word “phone” was shown to the right hemisphere and the right hemisphere has drawn the image of phone on the sheet of paper which clearly shows that the right hemisphere is able to convert words into images.

The main personality which resides inside the left hemisphere does not know what will be drawn on paper by the right hemisphere. The main personality observes and sees that information for the first time, the main personality has never seen this information before.
This experiment provides a very good model for explaining psychography (a.k.a. automatic writing) phenomenon during which independent autonomic neurocluster takes over the hand control and writes a text on the sheet of paper while the main personality does not know what will be written on the sheet of paper. Exactly the same underlying mechanism is in channeling (a.k.a. mediumship) when autonomic neurocluster takes over the voice control while the main personality does not know which words will be told during channeling séance.
Experiments with split-brain patients clearly show that the brain is made up of a constellation of independent or semi-independent agents, and these agents, these processes can carry on a vast number of activities outside of the main personality’s conscious awareness.

Another way to prove the existence of autonomic neuroclusters is the analysis of features of the dream characters. During the dreaming process the man sees various characters (people/animals/etc) in the dream scenario. Let’s ask a simple question – do these characters (which are seen in the dream) have their own consciousness or not?
Let’s suppose the answer this question is “no, dream characters do not have their own consciousness”. Such answer raises a simple question – if the dream characters do not have their own consciousness, then how can it be that these dream characters can communicate with you, talk with you, ask questions to you, answer your questions, etc – how the dream characters can accomplish such tasks if they do not have their own consciousness? If the dream characters do not have their own consciousness, then this leads to the conclusion that agent (dream character) does not need to have the consciousness in order to appear like it has consciousness.
Now let’s analyze another scenario. Suppose the answer is “yes, dream characters do have their own consciousness”. Such answer raises a simple question – who is the physical carrier of dream character’s consciousness? The most common answer which people give to such question is “non-material spirits hover beyond the material world and these spirits come into the dream where they meet other non-material spirits and these spirits communicate between with each other.” However let’s analyze the following situation. Suppose you go to sleep and you see Susane in your dream. However while you are sleeping and while you are seeing Susane in your dream, the real physical Susane is located in the next room where she is cooking food, reading book, etc. If Susane would be asleep while you are sleeping, then the explanation would be that your spirit and Susane’s spirit have met beyond the material world. However problem lays in the fact that Susane is not asleep, Susane is awake and Susane’s spirit is inside the physical body of Susane and Susane is busy with some action. If you are seeing Susane in the dream, then how can the spirit of Susane be in two different places simultaneously – in your dream and in the next room? These are very simple questions which lead to insolvable paradoxes.
However all these paradoxes can be easily solved using neurocluster brain model. Susane which you see in your dream is not the Susane’s spirit, but instead a neurocluster into which the model of Susane is written and stored. This neurocluster simulates all the behavior of Susane: how Susane moves, how Susane talks, etc. The more accurate and the more detailed the model of Susane is, the more realistic the dream scenario becomes.
The characters (which are seen/met in the dream) have different intelligence level – one characters can speak fluently, while other characters are incoherent, and third characters are unable to stammer out a single word. Why there is such difference in the intelligence level? The underlying mechanism is very simple.
If the neurocluster which models character X contains low number of neurons then character X will have low intelligence level.
If the neurocluster which models character X contains big number of neurons then character X will have high intelligence level.
The good analogy for the model of object X stored into neurocluster is the computer file. However such neurocluster is not a simple computer data file, this neurocluster also can act as executable (EXE) computer program file.
During the dreaming process the models of various characters become “alive” autonomic personalities which are able to act independently from the main personality.
Under some conditions the character which is stored inside the neurocluster can become able to communicate with the man’s main personality while the man is awake.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the hearing/vision areas inside the brain, and neural links reach hearing/vision areas, then such neurocluster may begin “tele-radio” translation for the man’s main personality and the main personality with begin to hear the voice of “God/angels/cosmos/etc” and see images of “God/angels/cosmos/etc”.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the motor areas inside the brain, then such neurocluster can take over the control of the man’s body – and this is the classical scenario when “demon possessed” man can attack nearby people and/or accomplish some other actions with the man’s body. As a rule, the neurocluster which contains the model of the “demon” has very limited and relatively small number of neurons at its possession and this is the reason why the intelligence level of such “demons” is very low – the “demon” can only induce shaking convulsions or physically attack somebody nearby, however maintaining meaningful highly intelligent conversation with such “demon” is not possible at all. During sleepwalking (somnambulism) when autonomic neurocluster takes over control of man’s body usually the intelligence level of autonomic neurocluster is also very low and this is the reason why it is not possible to carry meaningful highly intelligent conversation with the sleepwalker.
If the neurocluster is located nearby the areas of the brain which control the mouth and voice, and neural links reach voice control areas, then such autonomic neurocluster can take over the man’s voice and begin talking via man’s mouth – this phenomena is known under the name of “channeling”.
If the neurocluster has huge number of neurons at his disposal and if the neurocluster has full access to the control of the man’s body, then this manifests itself as „multiple personality disorder“.

The neurocluster which most of the time has the access to actuators (i.e. neurocluster which most of the time acts upon an environment using actuators) is called the “main personality”.
An actuator is a component of machine that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system.
In the human body the actuators are: hands, feet, tongue, etc.
I.e., the neurocluster which most of the time has the access to the control of hands, feet, tongue, etc – such neurocluster is called the “main personality”.
Other neuroclusters which do not have access to the control of hands, feet, tongue, etc – such neuroclusters are called “autonomous neuroclusters”.
Neuroclusters which have no access at all or which have only short duration and limited access to actuators – such neuroclusters are called “autonomous neuroclusters”.

Sleeping of a neurocluster (i.e. intelligent agent or personality) occurs when:
1) neurocluster’s control commands cease to reach the actuators (i.e. hands, feet, tongue, etc), and the neurocluster no longer has the ability to control the actuators (i.e. hands, feet, tongue, etc);
and/or
2) signals from sensors (i.e. from eyes, ears, etc) cease to reach the neurocluster, and the neurocluster no longer is able to receive data about the surrounding physical world.

When one neurocluster falls asleep (i.e. when it loses the contact with actuators and/or sensors), at the same time other neuroclusters may remain awake (i.e. other neuroclusters retain the connection with sensors, i.e. with eyes, ears, etc) or they can take over the control of actuators (i.e. hands, feet, tongue, etc).

The typical classic example of autonomic neurocluster is so-called “archangel Gabriel” which dictated the text of Quran to Muhammad.

Several neuroclusters can share the access to the same neural resources (visual/auditory/motor/etc system, memory banks, etc) and here several scenarios are possible:
1) the sharing of neural resources can be simultaneous (i.e. when several neuroclusters can access the same neural resources at the same time);
or
2) the particular neural resource can be used mutually exclusively (utilizing semaphore principle) by several neuroclusters.

Different neuroclusters have different degrees of access to neural resources.
The main personality has access to the motor cortex (i.e. the area of the brain that allows the control of physical body), to the visual cortex, to the auditory cortex, to memory resources, etc.
However, autonomous neuroclusters (i.e. personalities) can have only limited access and only to some areas of the brain.
For example, one neurocluster may have access to visual system, while other neuroclusters (i.e. personalities) can be blind.

Simplified scheme: brain zones which are controlled by the main personality and by autonomous neuroclusters.

A new paper reports the fascinating and perplexing case of a woman who reported that she was host to multiple personalities – some of whom were completely blind. The paper is called "Sight and blindness in the same person: gating in the visual system", authored by German psychologists Hans Strasburger and Bruno Waldvogel.<...> Her eyes were not damaged in the accident; instead, doctors attributed her loss of vision to brain damage: cortical blindness. Years later, B. T. entered psychotherapy for her DID. In therapy, she manifested ten different identities or personalities, which differed in “name, reported age, gender, attitudes, voice, gesture, facial expressions” and other characteristics. Such a multiplicity of selves is not uncommon in DID patients. But in B. T.’s fourth year in therapy, something unexpected happened: she regained her sight – but only some of the time. Some of B. T.’s personalities became able to see, while others remained blind. Strasburger and Waldvogel write that “Sighted and blind states could alternate within seconds.” Now, by itself, this would be an odd psychological case study, but rather difficult to interpret, because the whole case would revolve around B. T.’s self-reports of her blindness. For instance, one interpretation would be that B. T. was malingering, for instance – that she had “made up” the blindness, and possibly also the extra personalities. But Strasburger and Waldvogel present some remarkable evidence that seems to exclude malingering as a possibility: they show that when B. T. was “blind”, her brain actually didn’t respond to visual stimuli. To do this, they used EEG to measure visual evoked potentials (VEPs). A VEP is an electrical response generated in the visual cortex of the brain in response to stimulation. The absence of VEPs is suggestive of blindness. Strasburger and Waldvogel show that B. T.’s brain generates normal VEPs when she’s in a “sighted” personality state, but that when she’s “blind”, there is a total absence of VEPs: In the “sighted” condition, a sharp downwards peak is visible at approximately 100 milliseconds after the stimulus is presented. But the same stimulus evokes no detectable response in the “blind” condition. This is really quite something.

Multiple Personalities, Blindness and the Brain By Neuroskeptic. November 20, 2015. Discover Magazine Blogs.

The exact location of the main personality (and/or autonomous neuroclusters) inside the brain can be determined by the following method – by alternately turning off (i.e. putting into sleep) one or another area of the brain, and observing whether this particular turned off area of the brain affects the activity of the main personality (and/or autonomous neuroclusters) or not.
This search procedure can be carried out, for example, using sodium amobarbital, which is injected into blood vessels feeding one or another area of the brain, and thus these areas of the brain are turned off (i.e. are put to sleep).
The simplest case of this procedure is the so-called “Wada test” in which sodium amobarbital is injected into the carotid artery feeding the right or left hemisphere – as the result one hemisphere is turned off (i.e. falls asleep). By using this method, you can determine whether autonomous neurocluster (which is generating “the voice of the demonic spirit” or another kind of activity) is present in this hemisphere or not.

Jessica Lavigne and Acacia Ives who claim that they have MPD (multiple personality disorder) explained MPD using good analogy:
”Your body is a car, and you are always one driving, and there is someone in the passenger’s seat, someone in the back seat, and people in the boot (a.k.a. car trunk). That’s the way I always think of it. And how co-conscious you are means where are you in the car. If you are in the front seat you can see everything. If you are in the back seat you can see a bit. And if you are in the boot you can see nothing. And that’s how I would describe “co-consciousness”. Alters may be sat in different places and they can see certain amount of things that you do and then sometimes they can take over the wheel. And that’s what I definitely call “switching”.”

The opponents of Neurocluster Brain Model often use the argument that “there is no place in the brain where you could hide a second personality, not to mention more personalities”.
Let's look more closely – what is the volume of the brain which is needed to accommodate one personality? We will remind that the parrots and other birds can talk, despite the fact that the volume of their brain is very small. The volume of the human brain can easily accommodate many “talking parrots”, i.e. personalities (a.k.a. “voices in my head”).

It is interesting to note that a lot of pseudoscientists claim that high level of intelligence (or the possession of “consciousness”) is needed in order to possess abstraction capabilities, however it is very easy to disprove this claim.
We will remind that all organisms are able to distinguish “food” from “non-food”. However “food” and “non-food” are abstract objects. And that means that all organisms have abstraction capabilities.

Some religious adepts claim that the personality/soul/spirit/consciousness/etc it is located not in the brain. As a proof to this claim they provide the following example of a man who supposedly lives without a brain.

http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(07)61127-1/fulltext

A 44-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of mild left leg weakness. At the age of 6 months, he had undergone a ventriculoatrial shunt, because of postnatal hydrocephalus of unknown cause. When he was 14 years old, he developed ataxia and paresis of the left leg, which resolved entirely after shunt revision. His neurological development and medical history were otherwise normal. He was a married father of two children, and worked as a civil servant. On neuropsychological testing, he proved to have an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 75: his verbal IQ was 84, and his performance IQ 70. CT showed severe dilatation of the lateral ventricles (figure); MRI revealed massive enlargement of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, a very thin cortical mantle and a posterior fossa cyst. We diagnosed a non-communicating hydrocephalus, with probable stenosis of Magendie's foramen (figure). The leg weakness improved partly after neuroendoscopic ventriculocisternostomy, but soon recurred; however, after a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted, the findings on neurological examination became normal within a few weeks. The findings on neuropsychological testing and CT did not change. Figure Massive ventricular enlargement, in a patient with normal social functioning (A) CT; (B, C) T1-weighted MRI, with gadolinium contrast; (D) T2-weighted MRI. LV=lateral ventricle.

Brain of a white-collar worker By Dr Lionel Feuillet, MD, Henry Dufour, PhD, Jean Pelletier, PhD. The Lancet. Volume 370, No. 9583, p262, 21 July 2007

Let’s examine more closely this particular case. Here you will need the knowledge of neuroanatomy. The term “ventricles of the brain” means “cavities in the brain which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid”.

Every man has the cavities in his brain, just in this particular case the cavities are bigger than usual. In other words, the man does have the brain, however the cavities in his brain are bigger than usual. This means that the volume of his brain is less than usual. The article says that this man lives a normal ordinary life; he has become a husband and father of two children, which is supposedly miraculous.

However nobody raises the elementary question: what volume of the brain is needed for so-called “normal life”; and the question in general – what is “normal”? We will remind that the chipmunk can also easily “become a husband and father of kids”, despite the fact that the volume of chipmunk’s brain is very small, much smaller than that of the man, described in the article. In essence, the “normal life” is actually the ability “to eat, sleep, mate and defend” – and for these purposes a small volume of the brain is more than enough.
Please read more in the article “What is “normal”? The meaning of “normal””.
As it was shown in the above examples, for a “normal life” (i.e. for the ability “to eat, sleep, mate and defend” and even to talk) a small volume of the brain is more than enough. I.e. for one personality a small volume of the brain is more than enough. The larger the brain, the greater the number of personalities (autonomous neuroclusters) it can contain.

Neurocluster Brain Model defines “personality” as an “intelligent agent”.
“Intellectual agent” is a term used in robotics and artificial intelligence.
In artificial intelligence, an intelligent agent is an autonomous entity which observes through sensors and acts upon an environment using actuators.
No one objects to the fact that in a computer game multiple intelligent agents (i.e. personalities) can exist simultaneously, and all these agents are located inside one(1) computer.
But the brain is a computer too, which means that exactly the same as in the electrical computer, multiple intelligent agents (i.e. personalities) can exist simultaneously inside the brain.
However, the idea, that one brain can contain multiple personalities, encounters fierce resistance of religious adepts who mimic “scientists”.
In year 1747 Julien Offray de La Mettrie in his work “L'homme machine” (“Machine Man” or “The Human Mechanism”) postulated that humans and animals are mere automatons or machines, and denied the existence of the soul as a substance separate from matter. The doctrine that man is a machine is still not widely accepted and still meets fierce resistance from religious adepts who mimic “scientists”.
Neurocluster Brain Model defines a man as a machine or a biorobot which is operated by a massively parallel computer called the “brain”.
This approach destroys the foundation of religious adepts who believe in the religious dogma of “indivisible-single-consciousness”, therefore religious adepts will fight to the last drop of blood against Neurocluster Brain Model.

In awake state when the man for the first time sees/meets some new object then automatically some area/zone of the brain (cluster of neurons) saves the model representation of that object. That cluster of neurons saves all information about that object: how that object looks, how that object moves, etc. When a man goes to sleep then in the dream state the main personality sees and interacts with the objects/characters which are painted/simulated by the corresponding neuroclusters in which the models of these objects/characters are stored.
When a man awakens from a dream then there is very short moment when the main personality sees images from both worlds: 1) from dream simulator and 2) from real physical world (from sensory organs); and the images from both of these worlds overlap and are seen both simultaneously. Usually this moment lasts very shortly however under special conditions it may last longer and also this time can be prolonged by using special exercises and techniques. During this intermediate state when images from both of worlds overlap the man can easily see various spirits/angels/ghosts/etc. When a man fully awakens then all these spirits/angels/ghosts/etc dissipate and become invisible. However under certain conditions the images from dream simulator can be painted over the images from real physical world even when a man is fully awaken. The main personality has no tools whatsoever to distinguish simulated virtual objects from the real world objects, for the main personality object coming from dream simulator appears to be very real. Objects painted by dream simulator are three-dimensional thus when a fully awaken man sees such object (like spirit/angel/ghost/etc) this object has three-dimensional shape and is placed into three-dimensional environment (room/field/etc), the man can even walk around that three-dimensional virtual object and he can inspect this virtual object from all sides just in the same way as with regular physical objects. That virtual object/character is seen only by that man alone in whose brain that object/character is generated, other people cannot see that virtual object/character even if they are located physically nearby the man who sees these virtual objects. The reason is very simple – that object/character exists only in the brain of that man. Due to the ignorance of the brain physiology people naively believe that such virtual characters are “spiritual beings” that live in “spiritual world”. When the main personality sees/hears/feels “spiritual beings/objects” – the underlying mechanism is very simple – at that time one part of the brain acts as an observer (main personality is observing) and other parts of the brain act as “painters” which paint “spiritual beings/objects” in the view of the main personality. The seeing of “spiritual beings/objects” sometimes is also called as “remote viewing”, “third eye”, etc.

When a man who sees “spiritual beings” tells other people about his “spiritual visions” then two scenarios are possible:
1) if “spiritual visions” of that man match the dogmas of the prevailing religion of that geographical region then such man is declared as saint and religious adepts begin praising and worshiping such man;
2) if “spiritual visions” of that man contradict the dogmas of the prevailing religion of that geographical region then such man is declared as “possessed by demons” or is declared as crazy and is put into lunatic asylum.
In other words, exactly the same identical phenomenon of brain physiology (seeing virtual non-existing object/character) is treated twofold: 1) either as the proof of madness or 2) the proof of holiness.
As for example, if you will tell to Christians that you have seen the elf then Christians will put you into lunatic asylum, however if you will tell to Christians that you have seen the Jesus or Virgin Mary then Christians will declare you as the saint and after your death Christians will build memorials to honor you and will pray to you as to saint and so on.
It is interesting to note that temples usually are built in the locations where some religious adept had seen a “vision” which conforms to the dogmas of his religion. As for example Christians build chapels/churches/cathedral/crosses/etc in locations where some Christian has seen Jesus/Virgin Mary/etc in a “vision”, exactly the same situation is in Hinduism and also in other religions. According to modern psychiatry all such “visions” perfectly match the criteria of “hallucination” and people who see such “visions” are classified as mentally ill patients. Majority of religious architectural buildings were build in locations where some religious adept had seen hallucinatory visions.
All literature, painting and other arts are imbued with religious subjects which are based on the hallucinatory visions.
Hallucinatory visions play quite a big role in human society.

Religious adepts claim that Gods/angels/demons are some kind of souls that exist beyond the material world and sometimes manifest themselves to some “chosen” people and these “chosen” people can communicate with Gods/angels/demons. It is very easy to show that such claim contradicts real world facts. Let’s analyze for example Christian “spiritual beings” like Jesus and Virgin Mary. Jesus and Virgin Mary manifest themselves in “spiritual visions” only to the people who know in advance about the existence of Jesus/Mary and who believe in the existence of Jesus/Mary. However, if a man has never heard about Jesus/Mary before, then Jesus/Mary will never show up in “spiritual visions” for such a man. As for example, Jesus/Mary will be unable to manifest himself to a shaman in the Amazon rainforest who has never seen white people in his lifetime, however such shaman in “spiritual visions” can see Indian gods/spirits of Amazon rainforest without any problems. The Aborigines of Australia and Indians of America began seeing Jesus/Mary in “spiritual visions” only after European Christian missionaries arrived into Australia and America and introduced Aborigines and Indians with Jesus/Mary. Until arrival of European Christian missionaries into Australia/America local people had never seen Jesus or Mary in their “spiritual visions”, they saw only the gods/spirits/etc of their own religion. The point is that if Jesus/Mary would be some kind of “soul-flying-around” then he could fly on his own around the world and he would be able to manifest himself to aboriginal people all around the globe, and the aboriginal people would see Jesus/Mary in their “spiritual visions” and would convert themselves into Christians even without any involvement of European Christian missionaries. When European Christians arrived into new unexplored geographical locations they should find local aboriginal people already worshiping Jesus/Mary because Jesus/Mary should had been manifesting themselves to local aboriginal people long time ago before arrival of European Christians. However such scenario had never happened. There is not a single case of such scenario recorded in the history.
Exactly the same principle is valid for European Christians as well – if a Christian knows nothing about Indian Gods/spirits then Indian God/spirit will be unable to manifest himself to European Christian in “spiritual vision”.
In other words, in “spiritual vision” a man can see only such “God” about which he knows in advance, however if a man has never heard before about that particular “God” then he will be unable to see this “God” in “spiritual visions”.
Why does this happen? The underlying mechanism is following. When a man goes to sleep he sees various objects/characters in the dream, like for example he sees in the dream his mother/father/brother, his friend, a cat, a bird, etc. Suppose the man sees a cat in his dream. The cat in the dream has all the features of the real cat: walks like real cat, meows like real cat, eats like real cat, etc.
Why does the dream cat have all the features of the real cat? The answer is simple. The man earlier had seen the real cat and the model of the cat was stored in the neural circuits of man’s brain. During the dreaming process when dream simulator needs to present the image of the cat to the main personality, the dream simulator sends query to the brain’s knowledge database “what do we know about the cats? Please provide the model of the cat and we will draw the image of the cat in the dream”. If the man’s brain contains the model of the cat then the dream simulator uses that cluster of neurons which contains the cat model and draws the image of the cat in the dream. However if the cat model is absent in the brain then dream simulator is unable to draw the cat in the dream because the dream simulator has no data how the cat should look like.
It is important to note that the cluster of neurons which contains the model of cat, dog or some other animal, under some conditions can take over the control of man’s body and in this case we have shamanic-magic conversion of “werewolf” type. Ancient Norse chronicles report about berserkers (or berserks) – fierce Norse warriors who were able to transform into a wolf or a bear thus becoming unbeatable in the battle. Berserkers felt no pain and believed that he had transformed into wolf or bear.
Phenomenon of Norse “berserkers” resembles the “cafard” or “cathard” (Polynesia), “mal de pelea” (Puerto Rico), “iich'aa” (Navaho), Zulu battle trance, also similar phenomena are found in Laos, Papua New Guinea, and elsewhere.
In modern psychiatry the ancient phenomenon of “berserkers” is known under names “clinical lycanthropy” and “amok”. A neuroimaging study of patients diagnosed with clinical lycanthropy revealed that parts of the brain known to be involved in representing body shape display unusual activation, which means that when people report their bodies are changing shape, they are really perceiving those feelings.

Here is a documentary movie which shows how this looks in practice. It is important to note people in the movie are not acting, the movie shows the real condition of the people during religious practices of Pentecostalism (movement within Christianity).

The same identical phenomenon in different cultures is found under different specific names. The general name of this phenomenon is “spirit possession”.
In all cases and in all cultures there is a similar pattern – the “spirit possession” is much more common in women than in men (10 or more times more likely).
More detailed description is in the article “Spirit possession in various cultures”.

The important law of brain physiology is following: dream simulator can simulate only such objects/characters about which knowledge database of the brain has at least a minimum bit of information. If amount of information about the object/character in the brain is total zero then dream simulator will be unable to simulate such object/character. Dream simulator needs to have at least a minimum bit of information about the object/character – it does not matter if that information is correct or incorrect – what matters is having any bit of information – and dream simulator will be able to simulate that object/character. When main personality tries to access the object about which the brain has zero information then the access is blocked. The blockage can manifest itself in various ways, as for example: 1) as bumping into invisible wall which you cannot penetrate, 2) as getting into sticky mass when it becomes very hard to move and every new trial to move renders sticky mass even stickier until final complete stoppage like a fly stuck in the honey; 3) as complete throwing from the dream into reality (into full awakening state); 4) etc.
The same principle applies to reading of new unknown book while being the dream state. Many people report that when you try to read new unknown book while being the dream state the text immediately becomes diffused and unreadable and very often you end up thrown from the dream into reality (into full awakening state). Why does this happen? The underlying mechanism is very simple. The brain has no knowledge what should be written in the book and this is the reason why dream simulators begins to block in all possible ways the reading process of the book. However, if the contents of the book are known to the brain in advance (that book was read earlier when being in full awakening state) then you will have no troubles to study such book while being in the dream.

The brain creates “new” objects in the following way.
Neurons generate spontaneous impulses even in the resting state without any external stimulus.
When a man is in the “spiritual world” the spontaneous activity of neurons generate “new” objects for the main personality.
These “new” objects are created by combining the building blocks (pieces) taken from various “old” objects and combining these building blocks (pieces) into the “new” object and adding random noise to each of this composing building block.
As for example, a “new” person Z might be built in the following way: take the eyes of person A, add the nose of person B, add the mouth of person C, add the hairs of person D, add the gait of person E, and so on – mix them all together by adding random noise for each of the composing building block – and in the result you will get “new” person Z.
By the way, the same identical method is used to create fabulous objects in the “spiritual world” – such as the talking tree, the talking stone, etc. A “new” object is created from the building blocks taken from various “old” objects and mixing these building blocks together.

A good analogy of spontaneous/background activity of neurons is the thermal noise in electronics.

Spontaneous/background neuronal activity can be caused by many reasons.

In order for animal to survive in natural environment the animal’s brain must be constantly modeling the surrounding physical world. As for example when the squirrel wants to jump from one branch of the tree to another branch, at first squirrel’s brain must calculate and model the physical processes – the trajectory of the jump, the effect of gravitation, the power needed for the jump, the effect of wind/rain/obstacles to the trajectory of jump – and only after the brain has modeled the physical surrounding and has made necessary calculations – only then the squirrel accomplishes the jump. No matter which action the animal is doing (walking, running, flying, etc) – its brain always needs to model the surrounding physical world. If the animal’s brain would not model the surrounding physical world then such animal would perish in the next moment – as for example by hitting a rock with its head, by choking with the water which it is drinking, and so on.
In other words, the brain contains neural circuits (neuroclusters) which are responsible for modeling of the surrounding physical world. These neural circuits simulate the virtual copy of the real physical world and in this virtual world a whole bunch of different actions with different parameters are simulated and after these calculations are completed the option with the best outcome result is chosen for implementation into the real surrounding physical world. All this modeling is constantly done inside the brain and main personality is not involved in this modeling, all modeling happens at the subconscious level. The main personality simply gets the results of the modeling and that’s all.
When a man goes to sleep, all sensory inputs (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) are disconnected from the main personality and main personality is thrown into virtual simulated world. Neural circuits which are responsible for modeling of the surrounding physical world begin to generate virtual worlds and virtual objects which are presented to the main personality and as a result man sees a dream. Usually the man cannot control this process and man can only passively dizzily observe these virtual surroundings in similar way like watching the movie in the theater. However there some special techniques which allow to act actively in the dream scenario while remaining fully conscious – these techniques are called “lucid dreaming”. A lucid dream is a dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.
The objects and surroundings in the lucid dreams can be unrealistic. In other words the neural circuits which are responsible for modeling of the surrounding physical world can create and present unrealistic objects for the main personality.
And in the case when neural circuits generate very realistic objects for the main personality, then such phenomena is called “astral journey”, “astral projection”, “out-of-body experience”, etc.
By using the techniques for leaving physical body one can exercise his brain in all possible areas and the skills acquired in such out-of-body training will remain even after the man returns back to his body. As for example, the tennis player can train to play tennis when being in out-of-body mode and his tennis skills will be actually improved when he will return back to his body (after awakening). All this is possible because the neural circuits can fully simulate the real physical world with all physical laws. However such training when being in out-of-body mode is useful only if neural circuits simulate the physical world accurately enough. When a man drinks alcohol in “cultured way” or cripples his brain in some other ways, then training when being in out-of-body mode is not possible, because even in the best case scenario the main personality will be thrown into hallucinatory world which will be created by alcohol crippled brain.
Adepts of the eastern esoteric tradition (various yogis, etc) devote their lives and spent many years struggling their way towards “nirvana” (or out-of-body state) using various techniques like ascetics, yoga, pranayama, etc. Despite huge endeavors and decades of practice only very small percentage of eastern-adepts succeed in reaching the desired goal, and the ones who have reached this goal are considered as great “gurus” (spiritual teachers) and thousands of disciples flow to such gurus with the desire to learn to reach this goal.
The highest spiritual state which is accessible only to the greatest gurus who exercise titanic endeavors and decades of time can be easily reached in several hours without any ascetics, yoga, pranayama or any other “spiritual techniques”. The technology is very simple. All you need to do is to disconnect the main personality from all sensory inputs and after several hours a man will be thrown into “nirvana” and/or other “spiritual worlds” automatically. The technical implementation is very simple. All you need to do is to put a man into special tank called „sensory deprivation tank“ (a.k.a. isolation tank, flotation tank, John C. Lilly tank, REST tank, sensory attenuation tank, and think tank) – a lightless, soundproof tank inside which subjects float in salt water at skin temperature, which results in elimination of all sensory inputs. When a man is put into sensory deprivation conditions, such man will be thrown into “nirvana” and/or other “spiritual worlds” after several hours and he will be able to meet and speak with various “spiritual beings” like angels, demons or even God himself. Astronauts in space also sometimes experience sensory deprivation, as for example, Edgar Dean Mitchell Sc. D., (an astronaut who walked on the Moon) claims that on his way back to earth during the Apollo 14 flight he had a powerful Savikalpa samādhi experience (in Hinduism Savikalpa samādhi is a state of samādhi in which one's consciousness temporarily dissolves into Brahman).

Please click here to read more about how sensory deprivation causes hallucinations.

Many religious leaders had been practicing prolonged sensory deprivation procedures which help to induce artificial hallucinations in which the religious adept can hear the voice of God and/or the voice of other various spiritual beings. In order to achieve sensory deprivation, the religious adepts usually climb onto high mountains, lodge in the cave and so on. As for example, the founder of Islam Muhammad climbed onto the mountain called Jabal an-Nour (near Mecca) and stayed alone for many days in the cave called Hira, in which, after many days of sensory deprivation, Muhammad began hearing the voice of “archangel Gabriel” who dictated the text of Quran to Muhammad.

Let’s raise a question: how real are these “spiritual worlds”? To answer this question we will use the analogy. Let’s analyze a computer game which has its own 2D or 3D virtual world, its own virtual characters, its own laws and rules, etc. When a man plays a computer game, he interacts with this virtual game world, he communicates with virtual game characters as if this virtual world is real. However if we will physically destroy the computer then automatically this virtual world will disappear and all virtual characters will disappear too.
Exactly the same situation is with “spiritual worlds”. All these “spiritual worlds” are generated by the neuroclusters in the brain (exactly the same happens during dreaming) and the main personality (which enters such “spiritual world”) has no tools whatsoever to distinguish a simulated virtual world from the real world. When the main personality enters “spiritual world” then everything inside such “spiritual world” looks very realistic.
Like with the computer, exactly the same situation is with the brain – “spiritual world” exists only as long as the physical brain exists which generates the sounds and images of “spiritual world” – and if the brain is physically destroyed then all these “spiritual worlds” are destroyed too.
However religious adepts naively believe that “spiritual worlds” can exist without physical brain. Such a belief is equivalent to the belief that the virtual world of computer game will continue to exist after the computer has been physically destroyed.
Virtual worlds can be multilayered (like in the Russian “matryoshka doll” – the world inside another world, i.e. virtual machines inside other virtual machines) – the main personality leaves one virtual world by awakening, however after waking up he find himself inside another virtual world.

In philosophy, the brain in a vat (alternately known as brain in a jar) is a scenario used in a variety of thought experiments intended to draw out certain features of our ideas of knowledge, reality, truth, mind, consciousness and meaning. It is an updated version of René Descartes' Evil Demon thought experiment originated by Gilbert Harman. Common to many science fiction stories, it outlines a scenario in which a mad scientist, machine, or other entity might remove a person's brain from the body, suspend it in a vat of life-sustaining liquid, and connect its neurons by wires to a supercomputer which would provide it with electrical impulses identical to those the brain normally receives. According to such stories, the computer would then be simulating reality (including appropriate responses to the brain's own output) and the "disembodied" brain would continue to have perfectly normal conscious experiences, such as those of a person with an embodied brain, without these being related to objects or events in the real world. Uses The simplest use of brain-in-a-vat scenarios is as an argument for philosophical skepticism and solipsism. A simple version of this runs as follows: Since the brain in a vat gives and receives exactly the same impulses as it would if it were in a skull, and since these are its only way of interacting with its environment, then it is not possible to tell, from the perspective of that brain, whether it is in a skull or a vat. Yet in the first case most of the person's beliefs may be true (if they believe, say, that they are walking down the street, or eating ice-cream); in the latter case their beliefs are false. Since the argument says one cannot know whether one is a brain in a vat, then one cannot know whether most of one's beliefs might be completely false. Since, in principle, it is impossible to rule out oneself being a brain in a vat, there cannot be good grounds for believing any of the things one believes; a skeptical argument would contend that one certainly cannot know them, raising issues with the definition of knowledge. The brain in a vat is a contemporary version of the argument given in Hindu Maya illusion, Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Zhuangzi's "Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly", and the evil demon in René Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy.

Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy proposed an interest idea how it may be possible to find out if the world around us is simulated by a computer or not. In case if the world around us is simulated by the digital computer then this computer should make overflow and round off errors when calculating very small and very big numbers and theoretically these errors can be detected by the observer.

A lot of people believe that several people can meet and interact with each other while being in “spiritual world”, this phenomenon is called as “the shared dream”, “mutual dreaming”, “dream telepathy”, “telepathic lucid dreaming” or “telepathic dreaming” and so on.
The reality is that “spiritual worlds” generated in the brains of separate different people cannot interchange data with each other, because these “spiritual worlds” are generated in separate computing machines (i.e. brains) which are not connected with each other. In other words, “dream sharing” is not possible.

When a man is put into “spiritual world” state, the neural circuits which do the modeling create pictures and sounds in a concordance to the belief system of that man. Let’s illustrate with several examples. The majority of so-called “astral travel experts” claim that physical human body is connected with “astral body” through an “astral (silver) cord”.“Astral travel experts” claim that this astral cord is quite thick when the astral body is located near the physical body and this astral cord becomes thinner and thinner when the astral body wanders away from the physical body. If this astral cord becomes broken then the astral body is unable to return to the physical body and a man dies or in some cases some alien spiritual being (like demonic spirit) can attach itself to that broken astral cord and thus can incarnate into the human body replacing the original human soul (such phenomenon is called “demonic possession”). Such are the claims of “astral travel experts”. However the reality is completely different. If a man had been instructed about astral cord existence before this man was taught the techniques of astral traveling then such man will see and feel the astral cord during his astral traveling, such man will confirm that the astral cord surely does really exists. However if a man had never heard about astral cord existence before this man was taught techniques of astral traveling then such man will never see and will never feel any astral cord during his journeys in the “astral world”. The conclusion is simple. When a man is put into “spiritual world” state the neural circuits which do the modeling create pictures and sounds in a concordance to the belief system of that man. For example if a man believes in the existence of Jesus Christ, then such man during the travel in “spiritual world” will surely meet Jesus Christ. If a man believes in the existence of Krishna/Buddha/etc then such man will meet Krishna/Buddha/etc during his travel in “spiritual world”. The belief system of a man determines the images which he will see during the “spiritual travel”. As for example, famous Bulgarian clairvoyant Baba Vanga always saw and communicated with “saint virgin Mary” and not with Vishnu/Shiva/Krisha or whatever else non-Christian deity. Bulgarian clairvoyant Baba Vanga in her childhood was imprinted with Christian dogmatism and thus as the result Baba Vanga communicated only with Christian characters like “saint Virgin Mary” in her “spiritual visions”.
Many people have experienced leaving physical body (a.k.a. OOBE – out of body experience). When being outside of the physical body some people are able to see their own physical body, however other people do not see their own physical body. What is the cause of such difference? The answer is simple. People whose brain contains clear detailed model of their own physical body do see their own physical body while being in OOBE. The detailed model of the physical body is formed in the brain when a man spends countless hours in front of the mirror examining himself from all sides, examining every spot, every hair and other small details. However other people spend minimum of their time in the front of the mirror – such man glances briefly into the mirror to check if his nose is not smudged with tomato ketchup or if cheeks are not stuck with crumbs of cake – and that’s all he needs to know – in such case the model of the physical body in such man’s brain is very rough and smeared – and when such man experiences OOBE, there is very small probability that he will be able to see his own physical body from aside because of the simple fact – the neural circuits in his brain have too few data in order to be able to model and create image of his physical body viewed from aside (viewed from third person perspective).
The situation with the chakras is identical to the situation with astral cord. In “spiritual journeys” chakras are seen only by those people who knew and believed in advance that chakras do exist. The concept of “chakras” belong to the eastern tradition and this the reason why during “spiritual journeys” chakras are seen only by the adepts of the eastern tradition. In other religions there is no concept of “chakras” (like for example in Christianity, Islam, etc) and for that reason adepts of such religions do not report seeing “chakras” when being in “spiritual journeys”. A man can see chakras only when the model of chakras is written into brain in advance. The writing of model into the brain is accomplished when a man studies pictures with chakras, reads texts about features of chakras, listens lectures about chakras, etc.
Neuroclusters in the brain usually store models of real-world-objects, however neuroclusters can also store models of non-real-world objects (a good example or non-real-world object is “chakras”).

Models of the objects can be copied from one human brain into another human brain in the similar way like computer files can be copied from one computer into another. The model of object X is copied from one human brain into another brain when man A tells to man B the features of object X, draws and shows the pictures of object X, makes statuette of object X and shows it, etc.
When two or more people have the same identical (or very similar) model of object X written in their brains – this phenomenon is called the “egregor X”.
Egregor is the same identical object X model which is multiplied and written into the brains of two or more individuals.
Egregor is the equivalent of the computer program and has many features of computer program (it can be copied, overwritten, deleted, etc), however there are some differences from computer program.
As for example egregor has a feature called “the strength of egregor”.
The strength of egregor increases when increases the number of people who have the same object X model written in their brains. The bigger the number of people who are the carriers of egregor – the stronger the egregor.
The working principle of the egregor strength is very simple.
Suppose we have a man A whose brain has no data about object X.
If man A meets man B whose brain contains object X model, then copying of model X from man’s B brain into man’s A brain meets great resistance because of high suspicion if the model X is reliable and if the model X can be trusted.
However if man A meets two(2) other men who are the carriers of object X model, then copying of model X into man’s A brain is done more easily because the fact that two other men trust the model X decreases the suspicion that the model X is unreliable.
If man A meets ten(10) other men who are the carriers of object X model, then copying of model X into man’s A brain is done more easily because the fact that ten other men trust the model X decreases the suspicion that the model X is unreliable.
And so on.
If man A sees that a million men are carriers of object X model, then copying of model X into man’s A brain is done almost without any checks of model X validity.
The strength of egregor X is directly proportional to the number of people who are the carriers of object X model.
The strength of egregor has no correlation with the truthfulness of facts which are contained inside the egregor.
The egregor can be very strong, however facts which are contained inside the egregor can be absolutely false.
And vice versa.The egregor can be weak, however facts which are contained inside the egregor can be true.
Strong egregor has a power to force a man into accepting ideas and claims which contradict real world data.

The strength of egregor is described by the law of “positive feedback loop”.
A good example of positive feedback loop is the spreading of a stampede among the herd of animals.
When the number of running cattle increases this causes the overall level of panic to increase.
When the overall level of panic increases this causes the number of running cattle to increase.
The higher the number of running cattle, the more cattle will join the running.
That is the underlying mechanism why large religious groups so easily recruit new adepts. When the number of the members in the group increases this increases the illusion of reliability of the religious dogmas professed by that group. When new adept sees that very large group of people unquestionably believe in these dogmas, he accepts these dogmas too without questioning the validity of these dogmas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation. That is, A produces more of B which in turn produces more of A. In contrast, a system in which the results of a change act to reduce or counteract it has negative feedback. Both concepts play an important role in science and engineering, including biology, chemistry, and cybernetics. Mathematically, positive feedback is defined as a positive loop gain around a closed loop of cause and effect. That is, positive feedback is in phase with the input, in the sense that it adds to make the input larger. Positive feedback tends to cause system instability. When the loop gain is positive and above 1, there will typically be exponential growth, increasing oscillations, chaotic behavior or other divergences from equilibrium. System parameters will typically accelerate towards extreme values, which may damage or destroy the system, or may end with the system latched into a new stable state. Positive feedback may be controlled by signals in the system being filtered, damped, or limited, or it can be cancelled or reduced by adding negative feedback. Alarm or panic can spread by positive feedback among a herd of animals to cause a stampede. Causal loop diagram that depicts the causes of a stampede as a positive feedback loop.

In year 1976 British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined new term “meme” which has roughly equivalent meaning to the word “egregor”. Evolutionary biologists naively believe that the “meme” is a new revolutionary invention of twentieth century, however actually this is not true at all. Richard Dawkins invented new term “meme” because he did not knew that the word “egregor” had been already in use for at least several thousand years and that “egregor” has roughly equivalent meaning as the word “meme”. The word “meme” is simply the reinvention of the bicycle.We use the term “egregor” because the word “egregor” was already in use at least several thousand years before the introduction of new term “meme”. However there is one little technical problem with the word “egregor” – for hundreds of years the word “egregor” has been extensively used in various occult and pseudoscientific texts which mutilated, garbled and distorted the meaning and definition of the word “egregor”.
The term “egregor” was already included into “The Theosophical Glossary” published by H.P. Blavatsky in year 1892, while Richard Dawkins coined new term “meme” only in year 1976.

The word “egregor” was used in “The Book of Enoch” which is more than two thousand years old.

The term “atom” was coined by Democritus in 450 BCE, however this term remained unused and was not available in dictionaries until modern times. Also the modern meaning of word “atom” is different from that which was used by Democritus. Democritus did not know anything about protons and electrons and also Democritus had no tools to investigate and to prove the existence of “atoms”.

Like with the term “atom” the same exact situation is with word “egregor”. Actually it does not matter at which date exactly (how many years ago) the term “egregor” was coined and used for the first time. What matters here is that the term “egregor” was already in use many years ago before Richard Dawkins coined new term “meme” in year 1976. It does not matter if the word “egregor” had slightly different meaning from the modern current meaning.
In case if some readers have any objections about the meaning of the term “egregor” – here is the alternative explanation – you can consider that we simply take the term “egregor” and redefine this term anew – we have full right to declare and to write definitions for the terms which we use. And actually we must declare the exact definitions of used terms in order the reader would be able to understand the meaning of the text.
We will repeat again the definition of the “egregor” in order to dispose of occult and pseudoscientific legacy – egregor is the same identical object X model which is multiplied and written into the brains of two or more individuals.

A “cluster” is a group or bunch of several homogeneous elements, which can be considered as a separate unit, which has certain properties. As for example, in physics cluster can be a small group of atoms or molecules, in astrophysics there are star clusters consisting of stars, and galaxy clusters consisting of galaxies, and so on. The same physical element can be assigned to different unrelated logical clusters. As for example, in human population we can divide the people in clusters using different criteria – as for example, we can divide people by their religion and we will get cluster of Christians, cluster of Muslims, cluster of Buddhists and so on, however we can divide the same exact population by the favorite color which a man likes and we will get cluster of people who like red color, cluster of people who like blue color, cluster of people who like green color and so on. It is obvious that the same exact man will get into absolutely different clusters when filtered out by religion and when filtered out by his favorite color. There will be many Christians, Muslims and Buddhists who like red color, there will be many Christians, Muslims and Buddhists who like blue color, and so on. In exactly the same fashion the neurons in the brain can be grouped into different logical clusters. The neurons can be grouped into the same cluster by the color to which these neurons respond, the neurons can be grouped into the same cluster by the same orientation visual bar stimulus to which these neurons respond, and so on.

Important notice: when we use the term “neurocluster” (cluster of neurons) in the context of Neurocluster Brain Model – the default meaning is “egregoric neurocluster”, i.e. neurocluster which stores information about the egregor (object X model).

Egregoric neurocluster which has “declared independence” from the rest of the brain and which can communicate with the main personality as a separate entity in scientology is called as “demon circuit”. For as long as people have been speaking they have been hearing voices in their head. The founder of scientology L. Ron Hubbard in his “Dianetics” book described the source of these voices or “demons”. He described that these voices are stemmed not from another entity but from a heretofor unsuspected part of the mind. L. Ron Hubbard’s definition of “demon” is below.

Egregoric neurocluster which has less power than the “demon” and which is unable to broadcast voices to main personality (nevertheless which affects and controls the man’s behavior in negative way) in scientology is called as “engram”. Scientologists claim that they have working techniques (which in scientology are called “auditing”) which enable to get rid of the engrams.
In the highest stages of scientological “bridge to total freedom” (which are called “Operating Thetan” or OT levels) scientologists recieve working techniques to get rid of “alien thetans” (in scientology the “soul” is called “thetan”). “Alien thetans” are also the same egregoric neuroclusters which have slightly different parameters from engrams and demon circuits. In other words, scientology claims to have working techniques to deal with various types of egregoric neuroclusters (which in scientology are called engrams, demon circuits and alien thetans).

L. Ron Hubbard’s definitions of “demon” and “demon circuit” show that L. Ron Hubbard was very close to defining “demon” as the part of the physical brain formed from egregoric neurocluster, however L. Ron Hubbard failed to reach this simple conclusion.
Ironically, L. Ron Hubbard who taught his adepts in OT levels how to get rid of “alien thetans” (i.e. egregoric neuroclusters) himself has become the slave victim of egregoric neuroclusters and began broadcasting hallucinatory “knowledge” which L. Ron Hubbard received from neuroclusters inside his own brain – a good example is the story of Xenu which is taught in Operating Thetan level III.

Despite the Xenu story is a pure fantasy of L. Ron Hubbard, however this does not mean that so-called “alien thetans” do not exist. If we will dispose of all occult pseudoscientific stuff in Xenu story, then “alien thetans” are simply egregoric neuroclusters which have slightly different parameters from engrams and demon circuits.

Scientology claims to have working techniques to deal with various types of egregoric neuroclusters (which in scientology are called engrams, demon circuits and alien thetans).
These scientological techniques sometimes can really solve various types of psychosomatic problems and the adepts of scientology many times have seen personally that these techniques really do work – and that is the reason why the adepts of scientology naively believe that everything what L. Ron Hubbard said is 100 percent true.
L. Ron Hubbard has written more books than any other man on the Earth. L. Ron Hubbard holds Guinness World Record for “Most Published Works by One Author”, however the scientific value of L. Ron Hubbard’s books is almost zero because L. Ron Hubbard’s books are written in babble style and contain a lot of errors. Reading the books of L. Ron Hubbard is a simple waste of time – a much better way to get acquainted with scientological techniques is to watch movies made by the Church of Scientology, some of these movies are quite good (like for example “Dianetics – A Visual Guidebook to the Mind”, “How to Use Dianetics”).

The adepts who leave the scientology become addicted to scientological techniques and cannot live normal life without them (the addiction is equivalent to narcotic addiction), so ex-scientologists practice the same scientological techniques in so-called “free zone”.

Current psychiatry and scientology are deadly enemies and have collected tons of compromising material about each other. Psychiatry claims that scientology is a pseudoscience.

However it is interesting to note that some psychiatry schools use techniques taken from dianetics/scientology which are simply repackaged and renamed into new names. Several examples of such cases are psychiatric technique with the name “Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)” which was developed by Frank A. Gerbode and psychiatric technique with the name “Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)” which was developed by Francine Shapiro – which are simple clones of scientological “auditing” technique repacked into new names.

L. Ron Hubbard first published dianetic techniques in 1950 in book “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health”. Forty years later (in 1989) Francine Shapiro repacked scientological “auditing” technique into new name “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)”, and also renamed all scientological terms into new names, as for example Francine Shapiro’s “PTSD phenomenon” is essentially identical to scientology “engram” and so on.
It is interesting to note that EMDR was awarded by multiple awards from psychiatric and psychological organizations despite the fact that EMDR is essentially the clone of scientological “auditing” technique, and according to the claims of psychiatry the scientological “auditing” is pseudoscience. The only difference of EMDR from scientological “auditing” is that EMDR contains totally unnecessary bogus requirement for the patient to stare and follow the moving finger of the doctor. If you will remove from EMDR the unnecessary bogus requirement for the patient to stare and follow the moving finger of the doctor then you will have quite a good clone of scientological “auditing” technique.

The advantage of EMDR, TIR and “Freezone” over scientological “auditing” is that they are cheaper. All battles between psychiatry and the Church of Scientology are simply the battles over adept’s/patient’s money.

The Church of Scientology claims that if a man will read scientological documents of higher level than this man is rated according to the Church of Scientology, then such man will surely become very ill and might even die. These claims were disproved in year 2008 when WikiLeaks released top secret Operating Thetan documents of the Church of Scientology and now everybody on the planet can read and analyze these secret Operating Thetan documents – thousands of people have read these secret Operating Thetan documents and nobody got ill despite the intimidating claims of the Church of Scientology.

The human brain contains billions of neurons and all these neurons process the information in parallel. The main personality does not have the direct access to all neural calculations which are done in the brain – many neural calculations are done in the independent autonomous neuroclusters and the results of these calculations remain “invisible” to the main personality during normal awareness state. However during the dream/OOBE stage the information from autonomous neuroclusters can be transferred to main personality and main personality thus gains “new knowledge”. The source of that “new knowledge” physically lies inside the brain of that man however it is inaccessible during normal awareness state.
The “new knowledge” which was gained during OOBE stage is not the source of absolute truth – the reliability level of such “new knowledge” is equivalent to watching news on TV – it might have some value however it might be total disinformation as well.

There are many people who do not know that neurons in the brain process the information in parallel.
Please read the detailed article which explains why the brain is a massively parallel computing machine.

Neurons in the brain are organized into groups/networks/clusters which are specialized in solving various tasks. In other words, the brain consists of multiple modules which independently solve the tasks and present only the final result to the main personality. The main personality is able to observe and control the detailed flow of calculations only in very small number of modules. However majority of modules do not let in the main personality into the process solving the task and these modules solve the task completely independently and only when the final result is ready then this result is presented to the main personality. The main personality was not involved into the process of solving the problem and main personality was even not aware that solving was taking place. The main personality simply received the final answer/solution to the problem and due to the ignorance of the brain physiology people naively believe that they have received “revelation” from “out of this world”. It is interesting to note that religious adepts naively believe that “revelations” which they have received themselves surely must come from divine sources (from God, angels, etc) and not from demons, and that “revelations” received by adepts of competing religions surely must come from demonic sources and not from divine sources. However the truth is that all these “revelations” come from autonomous neuroclusters inside their own brain. These “revelations” sometimes are called as “heart's voice”, “insight” or “intuition”.
In psychology and psychiatry autonomous neuroclusters have ill-defined name “subconscious”, and when autonomous neuroclusters provide ready-made solution for the main personality – psychologists and psychiatrists call such phenomenon as “intuition” while religious adepts call the same phenomenon as “divine enlightenment”.
Current psychiatry/psychology is unable to provide clear scientific definition of “intuition” and is unable to explain the underlying mechanism of “intuition”, however Neurocluster Brain Model provides clear and simple definition:
Intuition is the flow of information from autonomous neuroclusters to the main personality.
It is important to note that when a man’s brain functions poorly then the intuition of such man functions poorly too. This is due to simple reason – intuition is the part of his poorly functioning brain.

Many esoteric schools offer various “intuition training programs” claiming that with “intuition training” you can achieve astral projection, telekinesis, dream control, past life recall, and many more exciting abilities.
There is a very popular myth that it is very good to have high intuition, according to that myth – the higher the intuition the better.
However the reality is following.
The level of intuition is directly proportional to the percentage of autonomous independent areas (neuroclusters) in the brain which do not let the main personality to control calculations which occur in these areas of the brain.
The bigger the number of such uncontrollable independent neuroclusters in the brain – the higher the intuition.
The level of intuition is a measure of how much the main personality does not have the control over neuroclusters inside the brain.
If main personality has 100% control over all neuroclusters in the brain then intuition is equal to 0%.
If main personality has 0% control over all neuroclusters in the brain then intuition is equal to 100%.
If main personality has 50% control over all neuroclusters in the brain then intuition is equal to 50%.
And so on.
By the way, there is one popular claim used massively in the media which says “women have more intuition than men” which is naively presented as an advantage. However, let’s raise a simple question: having no control over his own brain is an advantage or not?

The term “subconscious” has the same problems as the term “intuition” – current psychiatry/psychology is unable to provide clear scientific definition of “subconscious” and is unable to explain the underlying mechanism of “subconscious”, however Neurocluster Brain Model provides clear and simple definition:
subconscious is the array of autonomous neuroclusters which are insubordinate to the main personality.
Autonomous neuroclusters (a.k.a. subconscious) provide only final calculated result to the main personality, they do not allow main personality to observe and control calculations which are done in autonomous neuroclusters. Autonomous neuroclusters can process and store processed information without main personality being aware of that stored information. Main personality can gain some limited access to that stored information (in autonomous neuroclusters) during the dreams and during “spiritual travels”.
The term “subconscious mind” is roughly equivalent to independent autonomous neuroclusters which can carry on a vast number of activities outside of the main personality’s conscious awareness.

We will explain the principle how you can use autonomous neuroclusters in your own advantage.
Suppose you have a complex mental task which you need to solve, however at the current moment you are unable to devote the time for that. Even if at current moment you do not have time for finding the solution, you still need to devote a little of your time to carefully study all the details of the task formulation in order to fully understand what kind of problem you will need to solve. And then just leave it and go to do all other things which you need to do, don’t think anymore about that complex mental task which you will need to solve. You don’t need to think about it. Autonomous neuroclusters will do that job for you even without your involvement. And when after some time (a week, a month, etc) you will return to that complex mental task which you need to solve, there is high probability that that you will find the solution much faster than in the case when you would see the first time the formulation of the problem. This is due to the simple reason. Autonomous neuroclusters inside your brain got acquainted with this task when you had showed the task to them and they were busy in finding the solution to that particular problem without your involvement while you were busy with your other matters. And when you return to that particular problem, autonomous neuroclusters will provide you with half-solutions or full-solutions of that particular problem and this will greatly save your time.
In psychology this technique is called “incubation”: when you have reached an impasse in solving a difficult problem, you simply put it aside and work on something else while your autonomous neuroclusters continue working on the problem. Often the solution to the problem will be revealed to your main personality in a flash later as some autonomous neurocluster passes its answer. The more this kind of thinking is practiced, the more reinforced and developed it becomes.

Another popular synonym for the term “subconscious” is “unconscious” (a.k.a. “unconscious mind”). The authors who coined the term “unconscious mind” revealed their total lack of knowledge about brain physiology because all neurons in the brain are busy with information processing and all these neurons are “conscious”, in other words “unconscious mind” is the mind which is always “conscious” even when the main personality is not aware of their activity. The term “unconscious mind” is erroneous and obvious oxymoron.

All activities which can be done without a special attention while being in “autopilot mode” (like walking, etc) – all such activities are done by autonomous neuroclusters.
Another example of autonomous neuroclusters at work is the situation when a man has some skill (for example drawing/dancing/etc), however he is totally unable teach other people that same skill and he is unable to explain how he is doing that skillful activity. This is due to simple reason – this activity is done by autonomous neuroclusters and the main personality of that man does not know how to accomplish that activity.
This is the typical scenario with men who claim to have paranormal abilities (like clairvoyance, reading mind of other people, etc). When you ask such man: “please explain how do you accomplish this task”, he says: “I do not know, it just happens and that’s it”. That is correct – the main personality of that man really does not know how to do that, because this job is done by autonomous neuroclusters inside his brain.

The principles of brain architecture and organization can be explained by the following analogy.
Suppose there is a large building, and that building has many rooms, and each room contains one man. The entire building belongs to one company and all people in that building are the employees of the company. The director of that company resides in one room, and employees are located in the remaining rooms. The analogy is following: the director is the “main personality” and the employees located in the other rooms are “autonomous neuroclusters”. Director has the power to give the commands for the employees. If the director is powerful/clever/etc, then employees obey his commands and execute appointed jobs – in this case there is good order and almost no chaos in the brain. However, another scenario is possible. If (for whatever reason) the company’s employees ignore the commands of the director, and each employee does whatever he wants – in this case, the human brain contains a chaos, and such a person is schizophrenic (we will remind that the etymological meaning of the term “schizophrenic” is “split mind”). Director of the company has the power to order the employees to learn one or another skill, and/or to raise their qualifications in one or another specific area. Let’s suppose that the director commanded that employee A must learn Chinese language, the employee B must learn to fly the plane, the employee C must learn how to do surgery of hearts, etc. In this case, the workers who have specialized skills, enable the entire company to be able to accomplish one or the other work (to read Chinese, to fly the plane, to do surgery of hearts, etc). If at least one employee is able to accomplish certain specialized task, then, in essence, the whole company is able to accomplish that certain specialized task, because that employee belongs to the company. However, let’s assume that on of the employees (for example, the one which knows the Chinese language) has died (the analogy would be – the brain area was physically injured). In this case the company becomes incapable to read Chinese texts. When an employee has died who knew the Chinese language, the director (main personality) will be unable to read anything written in Chinese, because reading of Chinese texts was done by the employee, not by the director. The director does not have the skill to read Chinese. The only skill which director possesses is giving orders to the employees, as for example “here is the Chinese text, please read it and translate it to me”, however the director cannot read the Chinese text on his own.  Exactly the same situation is in the brain with the main personality. The main personality can only give orders to other neuroclusters to do one or another job; however the main personality is unable to accomplish these works on his own. Without subordinate neuroclusters the main personality himself is nothing.
Experimental evidence shows that when subordinate neuroclusters are physically injured or destroyed, the intelligence level of main personality immediately drops down.

According to the teachings of scientology the mind is composed of two parts: 1) analytical mind and 2) reactive mind. The translation of scientological terms “analytical mind” and “reactive mind” into the terminology used in Neurocluster Brain Model is the following: the “analytical mind” are the parts of the brain (neuroclusters) which are under the control of the main personality, and the “reactive mind” are the parts of the brain (neuroclusters) which are insubordinate to the main personality. Scientological term “reactive mind” in current psychiatry/psychology is called “subconscious”.
According to the teachings of scientology the “reactive mind” is the place where “engrams” are stored.

The translation of scientological term “engram” into the terminology used in Neurocluster Brain Model is the following: “engram” is autonomous neurocluster which contains the software subroutine/procedure/function/routine/subprogram which constantly in real time checks the surrounding environment conditions and if it detects some predefined trigger stimulus then it initiates reaction of the organism even when the main personality might be not aware of that stimulus.
“Engram” is the autonomous neurocluster which is somewhat similar to “watchdog timer”, the only difference is that this neurocluster constantly watches for some predefined trigger stimulus instead of system hang-up.

Let’s illustrate the idea with some examples. Suppose some time in the past you ate some spoiled food (for example spoiled egg) and you got sick after that. The information about that event automatically gets stored inside some neurocluster and this neurocluster becomes the “sentry” which constantly monitors the surrounding environment scanning for the smell/taste/form/etc of that food which got you sick. This “sentry” neurocluster becomes active for the whole lifetime after it is formed. No matter where do you go, no matter what do you do, this “sentry” neurocluster constantly scans the environment searching for the signs of spoiled food, and when it is triggered then it initiates the avoidance reaction of the organism even when the main personality might be unaware of the stimulus which triggered the reaction. When “sentry” neurocluster is triggered, the man might become nervous/anxious/hysteric/etc and such man will have no awareness and will have no knowledge whatsoever about what is causing this condition.
We will provide another classical example of the formation of “sentry” neurocluster . When a child for the first time touches some hot thing and gets painfully burned – after that event a “sentry” neurocluster is formed which constantly monitors the surrounding environment for the hot items.
There are thousands of such “sentry” neuroclusters in the brain of the man and all these “sentry” neuroclusters run their scanning-searching subroutines fully autonomously and without any involvement of the main personality.
The scientology claims that all “engrams” are bad and a man should get rid of all “engrams” thus becoming “clear”. However this claim is false. There are myriads of “engrams” which are absolute biological necessity for the organism to survive – as for example, “engrams” which save you from burning from hot objects, “engrams” which save you from falling from extreme heights, “engrams” which save you from bedwetting while you are asleep, and so on. If you will “clear” the brain from all “engrams” as suggested by the scientological doctrine, then such organism would perish the same day (by falling from extreme height, by eating spoiled food, etc) – the scientological idea of becoming “fully cleared” and “completely free from engrams” is a nonsense incompatible with the sustaining of life. However the claims of scientology about “engrams” are not completely incorrect – despite there are myriads of “engrams” which are absolute biological necessity for the organism to survive, some of the “engrams” might produce negative effects on the quality of life of the man and clearing of such “engrams” will really improve the quality of life – some educational movies of the Church of Scientology provide good examples of such cases, like for example “Dianetics – A Visual Guidebook to the Mind”, “How to Use Dianetics”, etc.

Let’s return to “multiple personality disorder” which was described above. In earlier times “multiple personality disorder” was called “double conscious”, “double consciousness”, or “dual personality” and only much later (approximately at the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century) it got the name “multiple personality disorder”.
The term “schizophrenia” was made up from two Greek roots: skhizein (gr. σχίζω) which means “to split” and phrēn (gr. φρήν) which means “mind”. The exact translation from Greek of word “schizophrenia” means “split mind”, thus the word “schizophrenia” would be a much better term to describe the patient’s condition than the term “multiple personality disorder”. However the word “schizophrenia” was already in use in psychiatry having another meaning, thus new term was needed to be invented in order word meanings do not clash. Thus instead of word “schizophrenia” the new name “multiple personality disorder” was given. In year 1994 American Psychiatric Association renamed “multiple personality disorder” into improper name “dissociative identity disorder (DID)” which clearly reveals that current psychiatry has no clue whatsoever about underlying mechanism of “multiple personality disorder”.
Term which is used by the person to describe the phenomenon reveals the level of that person’s comprehension about the phenomenon. The higher level of comprehension enables to forecast and to control manifestation of that phenomenon. As for example, in earlier times people called the lightning as “punishment of God” and people trying to avoid the lightning strike were praying to various Gods, while nowadays people call the lightning as “electric discharge” and use lightning rods to avoid lightning strikes.

Why does the psychiatry have so many problems with “multiple personality disorder”? The answer is very simple. First of all – “multiple personality disorder” is a very rare phenomenon – it is so rare that many psychiatrists/psychologist have even never heard of it. Secondly, very often patients diagnosed as “multiple personality disorder” simply have big fantasies and have nothing to do with real “multiple personality disorder”. Theses fakers with big fantasies bring a chaos into psychiatry because many psychiatrists after dealing with such fake cases come to wrong conclusion that “multiple personality disorder” is non-existing phenomenon. “Multiple personality disorder” is obvious only when there is a drastic change in all patient’s behavior: the change in voice timbre, the change in vocabulary used, the change in handwriting script, the change in gait, etc. However such cases are very rare. It is much more common when after “switch of personality” there are almost no change in voice timbre, no change in vocabulary used, no change in handwriting script, no change in gait – however the patient claims that now he is not Peter, but instead he is John. Such “personality switches” are totally inconvincible and look like a simple fake. Thus when a psychiatrist has seen only such cases in his practice, he makes a wrong conclusion that there is no such thing as “multiple personality disorder”, that all this is fake, and that you need to call this thing as “dissociative identity disorder (DID)“.
Yes, indeed there cases of fake “multiple personality disorder”. However there is a scientific tool which enables to discern fake cases from real cases of “multiple personality disorder”. fMRI scans of the brain during the “switching” of personalities (a.k.a. “alters”) can easily discern fake cases from real cases of “multiple personality disorder”. In genuine case of “multiple personality disorder” during the “switch” of personality there is a sudden change of active brain areas in fMRI image. In fake case of “multiple personality disorder” during the “switch” of personality there is almost no change of active brain areas in fMRI image.

Forensic examination of the writing of a man with multiple personalities By Bonnie L. Schwid (BS, D-BFDE, Anagraphics, LLC) & Hans-Leo Teulings (Neuroscript, LLC) International Graphonomics Society (IGS)

We will remind that the level of intuition is a measure of how much the main personality does not have the control over neuroclusters inside the brain. The bigger the number of such uncontrollable independent neuroclusters in the brain – the higher the intuition.
In other words, the level of intuition is a measure of “split mind”, the level of intuition is a measure of “schizophrenia” (if original Greek etymology is used). Here additional explanation is needed. The real world fact is that by definition the brain of every human alive contains autonomous neuroclusters (because such are neuroanatomical laws), the only difference is that in different people these autonomous neuroclusters have different level of autonomy and independence. In some people the main personality keeps autonomous neuroclusters quite under the control, while in other people the autonomous neuroclusters are so powerful that these neuroclusters begin issuing commands for main personality – this phenomenon is perceived as “voice from heaven”, “voice of cosmos”, “angel Gabriel”, etc.
According to the Greek etymology of the term “schizophrenia” – the more powerful and the more autonomous are neuroclusters – the higher is level of schizophrenia. By definition, all people are schizophrenic, only the level of schizophrenia is different in different people. Some people are schizophrenic only teeny-tiny, while other people are very schizophrenic. When the level of schizophrenia exceeds some threshold then psychiatrists label such man as “schizophrenic”. There is a common misconception that a man is either schizophrenic or he is not. Such comprehension is fundamentally wrong. The reality is that all people are schizophrenic, however psychiatrists put the label “schizophrenic” only when the level of schizophrenia exceeds some threshold. We will clarify this by using the analogy. Almost all people drink alcohol (with rare exceptions), for the sake of simplicity let’s assume that all people drink alcohol. The reality is that all people who drink alcohol are “alcohol addicts” no matter of how much alcohol they consume. However doctors put the label “alcohol addict” only when some threshold of consumed alcohol is exceeded. Exactly the same situation is with schizophrenia – psychiatrists put the label “schizophrenic” only when the level of schizophrenia exceeds some threshold.
The higher the intuition – the more “schizophrenic” the man is. When the level of intuition exceeds some threshold then psychiatrists put such man is into lunatic asylum.

When some former colonial country breaks apart from the empire and declares independence then after some time that country may become even more powerful than the former empire – a good example of such scenario is USA which declared independence from British Empire on July 4, 1776. Exactly in the same way some cluster of neurons may declare independence from the main personality and may become stronger and stronger eventually becoming even more clever/powerful than the main personality. Some esoteric schools provide courses for “intuition training” claiming that increasing the level of intuition is advantageous. However, let’s raise a simple question: training neuroclusters in your own brain to become independent from the main personality is an advantage or not? Having no control over your own brain is an advantage or not?
The brain is parallel computing machine which solves many tasks in parallel and neurons group themselves into clusters for solving one or another task. Some neuroclusters can “steal” neurons from other neuroclusters thus expanding their own domination and power, also some neuroclusters may force other neuroclusters to subdue. If some neurocluster takes over enough amount of resources (i.e. enough number of neurons) then it can become powerful enough to compete with the main personality. If such neurocluster takes over even more resources then it may become even more clever than the main personality.
When autonomous neurocluster becomes more clever than the main personality then it can surprise the main personality by its level of knowledge and the main personality will start to believe that he is communicating with “higher spiritual beings” or even God himself.
If autonomous neurocluster has friendly symbiotic attitude towards the main personality then it is called as “angel/archangel/God/etc”, however if autonomous neurocluster has hostile attitude towards the main personality then it is called “demonic/satanic/black spirit”.
The brain may contain not one but many autonomous neuroclusters which are more clever than the main personality and these neuroclusters are competing for the resources – all the battles between Gods and demons are happening inside the same territory – inside the brain of the man.
It is important to note that when a God/demon settles inside the brain of the man then the strength/power of that God/demon is at the expense of the main personality. The more recourses the God/demon steals from the main personality the more powerful the God/demon becomes. In other words, the more clever becomes the God/demon the more dumber becomes the main personality. It is important to note that prayers to the particular God strengthen the neurocluster which represents that God, thus the more religious adept prays to his God the more dumber becomes the main personality of that religious adept – such are the laws of brain physiology.
When the main personality has no control over some areas of the brain then the following scenarios are possible with these uncontrolled areas:
1) they may become a chaotic anarchy (which happens very often) and such phenomenon is called “schizophrenia” – lunatic asylums are full of such people and many such people are freely walking in the streets;
2) these uncontrolled areas may be taken over by Gods/demons (such cases are quite rare). In psychiatry it is considered that if a man has began talking with “cosmos/higher intelligence/god/angels/demons/aliens/etc” then such condition is considered to be the highest stage of mental illness which is impossible to cure – such patients are drugged with psychotropic drugs which render the patient into vegetable-like state – the psychiatry has no other effective tools how to treat “talking with cosmos”.

Almost all religious teachings use the phrase “this man sold his soul to the devil”. The physiological meaning of this phrase is very simple – the main personality voluntarily “sells” the brain resources (areas of brain) to the demon naively believing that he will get something valuable in exchange/return. The demon/God happily takes over given areas of brain, however whether the demon/God will thank to the main personality for the gift – that remains an open question – the most probable scenario is that demon/God will give nothing valuable in return.
Esoteric schools provide various techniques for development of “astral body” which provides the ability to travel into “spiritual worlds”.
The physiological nature of the “astral body” is exactly identical to physiological nature of demons/Gods which were described above, the only difference from demons/Gods – the “astral body” is not independent – the “astral body” is like a diving/space-suit, a vehicle into which the main personality can transfer itself and the main personality can use this vehicle for traveling inside “spiritual worlds”. If you want to be able to travel inside “spiritual worlds” then having “astral body” in your disposition is not enough. You also need that your “astral body” would be strong and powerful because feeble “astral body” is incapable to carry you far away. The analogy is the car. If your car is broken/rotten/decayed then you will be unable to travel far away using such car. You need to take care of your car and it will take care of you. Exactly the same situation is with “astral body” – you need to take care of your “astral body” in order to keep it strong and healthy. The “astral body” is represented by cluster of physical neurons – if man’s physical brain is functioning poorly then “astral body” will function poorly too. If areas of physical brain containing “astral body” will be physically damaged/destroyed then “astral body” will be damaged/destroyed too and man will lose the ability to travel inside “spiritual worlds”.

It has been reported that CIA possess special brainwashing and mind control techniques which can artificially induce MPD (multiple personality disorder) in a target person. Such artificially created MPD in CIA is called by a nickname “Manchurian Candidate” or “Jekyll-Hyde”. The usage of “Jekyll-Hyde” person in a military missions provides huge advantages – the artificially induced personality can accomplish some preprogrammed task (like killing or blowing up somebody) and the main personality has no knowledge whatsoever about it. Even if the enemy will catch “Jekyll-Hyde” and will torture him to death, he will not give away the secret because the main personality has no access to artificially implanted personality’s knowledge database.
It has been reported that it is possible to artificially implant into human brain up to 20-40 independent personalities which can remain dormant (latent) for years until the demand of the creator who can provoke manifestation of these hidden independent personalities to accomplish the needed mission.

Eastern esoteric schools are superior to abrahamic religions because eastern esoteric schools have workable techniques and tools for “getting into the spiritual worlds” and “meeting spiritual beings”, while in abrahamic religions only few random adepts manage to “get into the spiritual worlds” and these “spiritual” adepts have no clue how did they managed to “get into the spiritual world” and they can’t teach these skills for other adepts. Adepts of abrahamic religions explain this situation in the following way – God acts in mysterious ways, God chooses some people in mysterious ways and God gives these chosen people the ability to get into “spiritual world”.In other words adepts of abrahamic religions have no control and no workable techniques and no working tools for “getting into spiritual worlds” – there are however some exceptions, like Pentecostalism, which will be covered later.

Eastern tradition has a concept of “kundalini”. Adepts of eastern tradition believe that the power of kundalini lies coiled at the base of the spine and special training and special techniques can free kundalini power – can lift kundalini power upwards in the spine towards the top of the head. Gurus of eastern tradition claim that kundalini is very powerful force and that incorrect handling of kundalini will cripple or even will kill a man. Spiritual gurus claim that correct handling of kundalini can turn human into semi-god, who for example can turn off the Sun using his power of will. And here we have very important moment. It is obvious that if somebody would turn off the Sun even for a second, then the Earth planet would fly out of its orbit and even if the Sun would be turned on again, the orbit of the Earth would be changed irreversibly which would cause cataclysms and life on Earth would perish and so on. It is obvious that super-yogis who claim that they can turn off the Sun using their kundalini power, turn off the Sun not in the real physical world, but instead they turn off the representation of the Sun in their brain. In other words, the Sun stops its existence only in the brain of super-yogi however the physical real Sun remains shining for all other remaining people.
In the highest levels of yoga yogis learn to turn off/on the representations of objects in their brain and learn to manipulate these representations in various possible ways.
And this is the underlying mechanism of so-called “siddhi powers” – supernatural magical powers like telekinesis, teleportation, levitation, etc.
All these “siddhi” phenomena happen inside yogi’s brain and not in the real physical world.
In the highest stages of yoga yogis learn to induce artificial controlled hallucinations inside their own brain – yogis are able to create, to destroy and to manipulate in all possible ways the representations of objects inside their own brain – and it is very easy to prove that, as for example in the case of telekinesis you need to record with video camera the object which the yogi tries to move telekinetically – the video recording will show that the real physical object remains still in the same place while the yogi is convinced that he sees the object being moved – it is not the real physical object which is moving, however the representation of object is moving inside the brain of the yogi.
Yoga schools have detailed techniques and exercises for mastering the highest stages of yoga and yogis spend decades of life trying to evolve skills for inducing artificial controlled hallucinations inside their own brain. Only very small percentage of yogis achieve this desired goal.

Yoga guru Swami Vishnudevananda (the disciple of authoritative yoga guru Sivānanda Saraswati) established Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers which are now spread around the world.
Sivananda Yoga Centre released “The Sivananda Book of Meditation” which is the instructive manual for the yogis. “The Sivananda Book of Meditation” in Chapter 11 (“Deepening meditation state”) clearly states that when yogi practices the yoga correctly then such yogi begins to experience hallucinations – yogi begins to see various hallucinatory colored lights, yogi begins to hear various hallucinatory sounds, yogi travels into “astral worlds” and sees various deities/angels/etc. “The Sivananda Book of Meditation” ends with Chapter 12 (“Experiences of expanded consciousness”) which clearly states that when yogi achieves hallucinations described above the yogi should not stop and yogi should continue, because the ultimate goal of the yogi is the Samadhi state – the state of ultimate hallucinations when a yogi begins to hallucinate that he has merged with the Universe.

The same yogic “siddhi powers” in scientology are called “superpowers” which are attained at “Operating Thetan” levels (the highest stages of scientological “bridge to total freedom”). The founder of scientology L. Ron Hubbard coined an acronym MEST which stands for matter, energy, space and time, the component parts of the physical universe. Scientologists claim that by completing scientology courses, it is possible to eventually attain "cause over MEST" — the ability to control matter, energy and spacetime in the physical universe, free of the encumbrance of the body.
Scientological movies “Dianetics – A Visual Guidebook to the Mind” and “How to Use Dianetics” provide good instructions about dianetical procedures which were developed by the Church of Scientology. The purpose of dianetical procedures is to transfer data from “reactive mind” (== autonomous neuroclusters) into “analytical mind” (== neuroclusters which are under control of main personality). Scientological adept becomes “clear” when data is maximally transferred from “reactive mind” into “analytical mind”. In other words, despite scientologists never mention that (and most probably scientologists do not understand that), however reaching the state of “clear” is actually the reduction of intuition into minimum level. We will remind that the level of intuition is a measure of how much the main personality does not have the control over neuroclusters inside the brain. In “clear” state the scientological adept has minimum level of “intuition” – in other words in “clear” state the main personality has maximum control over neuroclusters. It is interesting to note, that after reaching the state of “clear” and going further up in “scientological bridge”, the process is totally reversed – in OT (“Operating Thetan”) levels the scientological adept learns how to artificially induce hallucinations in his own brain – gaining so-called “superpowers” like telekinesis, teleportation, telepathy, etc – the higher the OT level the stronger the hallucinations – in every higher OT level the main personality loses more and more of the control over neuroclusters, in other words the level of intuition is increased when going up in OT levels.

Many “spiritual gurus” claim that the “spiritual-growth” of the man is inevitably accompanied by gaining of the “siddhi powers” – the more the man “growths spiritually” the more “siddhi powers” are revealed in such a man. In different religions “siddhi powers” have different names, like for example “the gifts of the Holy Spirit”, “superpowers” and on – the exact name does not matter, in all cases and in all religions the “spirituality” is the susceptibility to experience hallucinations. The more frequently man experiences hallucinations the more “spiritual” such man is.

It is important to note that not all “miracles” are hallucinations inside own brain. There is also another category of “miracles” – the elementary fraud.
For some documentary movies about revealed “miracles” please click here.

The food plays an important role in achieving the heights of the spirituality and for this reason special diets are recommended which disturb the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain which greatly helps to induce hallucinations, however the starvation is even more effective technique than special diets. It is important to note that short duration starvation will not carry the man into the “spiritual worlds” because the body will use the accumulated recourses to keep the equilibrium of brain’s biochemical reactions intact, and only long enough starvation will knock out the biochemical equilibrium when some of vital biochemical substances will be depleted.
Almost all spiritual gurus teach that in order to increase spirituality one needs to starve himself, and some spiritual gurus claim that 40 days of starvation without the food and water guarantees the entrance into the “spiritual worlds”. Long starvation disturbs the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain which result in the blockade of sensory input signals and invokes the dream simulator which carries a man into “spiritual worlds”.

It is well known fact in the medicine that long starvation induces hallucinations. Medicine has a huge number of documented facts about consequences of long starvation, as for example when a ship sailing the ocean becomes uncontrollable (engine breakdown, etc) and people in the ship are forced into the long starvation, then when such ship is found and rescued, then the people who are still alive and did not die from starvation – all such rescued people will ramble in hallucinatory visions.

Exactly the same working principle was used by American Indians. Indians had the ritual of initiation into the manhood which was mandatory for all Indian boys in order they become “true men”. The essence of the initiation ritual was the following. Indian boy must climb into the top of the mountain and he must sit there starving without food and without water day after day (which might take weeks) and he must wait until he will see the souls of the ancestors, and these souls of the ancestors must tell him his new manhood name. After the boy has met souls of the ancestors and after he has heard his new manhood name, he must climb down the mountain and tell his Indian tribe his new manhood name, and after that moment the boy becomes “true man”. However not all boys who climb on the top of the mountain meet the souls of the ancestors. Many boys starve themselves into the coma stage however the souls of the ancestors do not come to meet them. For that reason other Indians periodically climb to the mountain to check if the boy still has a consciousness or if he has fallen into the coma stage. If the boy is found in the coma stage, then he is brought back down from the mountain, revived, offered food and water and after some time the same procedure of climbing into the mountain is repeated again. The procedure is repeated the second time, the third time, etc – as many times as needed until the boy finally meets the souls of the ancestors and hears his new manhood name from these souls. Some boys who wanted to avoid this torturing ritual had cheated – after sitting several days on the top of mountain they climbed down and lied that they had met the souls of the ancestors and that these souls had told him his new manhood name. However this lie must had been kept a secret for the rest of the life, otherwise he would get death sentence for cheating in such an “important” ritual.

The founders of abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) also practiced long starvation which induced hallucinatory visions in which they met the God and other “spiritual beings”.
For example, the prophet Ezekiel starved himself without food and water for forty days and after these forty days of starvation in the cave he had began hearing the voice of the God.

Moses starved himself without food and water for forty days and after these forty days of starvation in artificially induced hallucinatory vision Moses received the Ten Commandments from the God (Bible. Exodus 34:28). It is very important to note that the most sacred object in all abrahamic religions – Ten Commandments of God – was the result of hallucinations which were artificially induced by forty days of starvation.

After receiving the first set of the commandments, Moses smashed the stone tablets on the ground because he had found out that Israelites were engaged in a massive sin-fest. Moses then repeated his forty days of starvation procedure before ascending Mount Sinai the second time to receive the replacement set of the Ten Commandments.

Jesus Christ also starved himself for forty days in the desert and after these forty days of starvation in artificially induced hallucinatory vision Jesus Christ met the Devil instead of the God (Bible. Matthew 4:2 and Luke 4:2).

It is interesting to note that Christians claim that “loss or lack of appetite” is the proof of the Holy Spirit, however at the same time Christians claim that “loss or lack of appetite” is the proof of demonic possession. In other words, exactly the same phenomenon (“loss or lack of appetite”) is used to prove the divinity and at the same time the same to prove the demonic possession – it is obvious that Christian dogmas have faulty logic.

It is important to note one fundamental flaw in the dogmatism of all religions – the same exactly identical signs/features are claimed to be simultaneous proof of both: 1) the divinity and 2) the demonic possession.
As for example, the simultaneous proof of both the divinity and the demonic possession are phenomena of: stigmata (wounds on body), “the gift of prophecy”, “the gift of speaking tongues” (a.k.a. glossolalia, xenoglossy, xenoglossia, foreign accent syndrome), “the gift of the interpretation of tongues”, “the gift of the word of wisdom”, “the gift of the word of knowledge”, “the gift of the working of miracles”, and so on.
It is obvious that religious dogmatism has a complete lack of logical thinking.

Please click here to read more about faulty logic in religious dogmas which claim that the same exactly identical signs/features are simultaneous proof of both the divinity and the demonic possession.

Another effective technique is the holotropic breathwork which invokes “siddhi” powers like past life recall, etc. What is the physiological mechanism of the holotropic breathwork? During the holotropic breathwork the lungs are hyperventilated and as the result the concentration of oxygen (O₂) is increased in the blood and the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is decreased. The normal concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the blood is approximately 6% and during the hyperventilation the concentration of CO₂ decreases. When CO₂ concentration in the blood drops to 3.5% then this condition is called “hypocapnia”. Hypocapnia causes cerebral vasoconstriction, leading to cerebral hypoxia and this can cause dizziness and induce hallucinations. If hypocapnia is increased even more then this leads to the blackout. The essence of holotropic breathwork technique is to keep CO₂ concentration in the blood at such level which is sufficient to induce hallucinations however the man still has not fallen into the blackout. Holotropic breathwork technique allows a man to travel into the “spiritual worlds”, allows talking to Gods (Jesus, Krishna, Vishnu, etc), past life recall, etc.
Other important techniques for achieving “spiritual heights” are various special physical exercises, as for example various yogic physical exercises which deform and strangulate veins/ lymphatic vessels/etc (by putting legs on the head, etc) and as a result disturb the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain in the similar way like holotropic breathwork technique thus invoking spiritual experiences, like “traveling into the spiritual worlds”, etc.

<...> "Holotropic" means moving towards wholeness, Holotropic Breathwork was created by Stan and Christina Grof by combining ancient holistic healing techniques from around the world, such as yogic breathing practices, sound, sacred music, chanting, drumming, and body oriented psychotherapy. The Holotropic experience focuses on creating a non ordinary state of consciousness to give participants access to a deeper experience of themselves, helping them transcend the limits of ordinary consciousness and invoke the inner healer, therefore helping to heal deep seated issues within the body/mind and connecting to profound spiritual experiences. During a session people can access traumatic events from their past that are hindering them from living a fulfilling life in the present. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, heartache and loss have their origins in our unconscious mind. Holotropic Breathwork helps bring these unexperienced experiences to the surface and by making the unknown known through expressing the strong emotions locked into the body/mind the person is healed in a deep and profound way, which often leads to a profound transformation in their daily lives. Typically the healing experiences can range from reliving birth trauma, clearing childhood hurts and alleviating physical ailments. Other Holotropic experiences can include Transpersonal encounters that are beyond the personal everyday ego awareness, such as transcendence of physical space and time, contact with other life forms, past life or synchronistic experiences and contact with archetypes or mythological realms.

Another effective technique to get into “spiritual world” is the usage of various psychotropic substances. However we will not swell into this topic because majority of people understand that psychotropic substances induce only hallucinations and nothing more. Only very small percentage of people believe that psychotropic substances get them into supposedly “real spiritual world”.
However when a man sees/hears hallucinations without the usage of psychotropic substances then religious adepts consider that as sacred mystical experience, they consider that they get into the “real spiritual world”.

Religious adepts claim that prayers/meditation can heal illnesses. Let’s analyze what is the physiological underlying mechanism of such healing. It is well known fact in the medicine that many illnesses have psychosomatic origin. We will explain more detailed. Organism consists of many cells. Every living cell exchanges matter with its surroundings: nutritive/building materials come into the cell and cellular waste products must be carried out of the cell. When cellular exchange of matter is well-run then organism is healthy. However when cellular exchange of matter is disturbed then organism becomes ill with some illness. There are many ways to disturb cellular exchange of matter, as for example by physically damaging the organism or when nourishing blood vessel is clogged up by some physical object, etc. One other way to disturb cellular exchange of matter is psychosomatic. What does it mean? The underlying mechanism is very simple. Human brain controls muscles/organs by sending “commands” via nerves. These “commands” which are sent by the brain might become damaging to the organism – as for example due to stress (or some other reasons) a muscle might become permanently spasmodically contracted which leads to strangling of some blood-vessel or lymphatic vessel which leads to the disturbance of cellular matter exchange and organ/organism becomes ill with some illness. In other words, the cause of the illness is the damaging “commands” send by the brain to the organism. What is the solution of this problem? The solution is very simple. All you need to do is to eliminate the broadcasting of damaging “commands” to the organism which is achieved by bringing human brain into vegetable-like state which is achieved by meditation, religious prayers, atheistic autogenic training, etc. When brain is brought into vegetable-like state by meditation/prayers/etc then brain stops broadcasting damaging “commands” to the organism and as the result organ/organism starts to heal.
It is important to note that using meditation/prayers it is possible to heal only the illnesses of psychosomatic origin. However if the illness is not of the psychosomatic origin then meditation/prayers will fail to heal such illness. As for example, if a man has his arm/leg amputated then meditation/prayers will be unable to grow back arm/leg for that man.

People who have returned from astral journeys claim that they have seen sightings and they have heard sounds during astral journeys. It is important to note one important feature in all these reports – the sightings and sounds have exactly the same characteristics as if they were seen with physical eyes and were heard with physical ears. However, physical eyes can see electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm (visible spectrum range), and physical ears can hear frequencies from 20 to 20,000 Hz (hearing range). If the range of visible spectrum is changed even slightly then the appearance of the world becomes almost unrecognizable. Below are some example images which show how the world looks in the infrared range.

However there are no reports whatsoever from astral travelers about seeing the world in other spectrum range or hearing sounds in other frequency range. It is pretty obvious that it is impossible to fail to notice such thing as the change of visible spectrum range because the view of the world would change drastically. All astral travelers always see the world in the same spectrum range as if they would see it using physical eyes.
This raises very simple question: how it can be that the soul sees and hears exactly in the same spectrum range if the soul is made up from different substance than the physical body? The only scenario when “astral eyes” could see the images exactly in the same spectrum range is when “astral eyes” would have exactly the same construction as physical eyes. It is enough even to slightly change the parameters of eye’s composing parts and the seen images would immediately slide to other spectrum range. In order “astral eye” could see the identical image which is seen by the physical eye, the “astral eye” should have exactly the same identical pupil, it must react exactly to the same identical electromagnetic spectrum of light, etc.
However, if “astral eye” would begin to register visible spectrum range frequencies then such “astral eye” would interact with photons of visible spectrum range and automatically such “astral eye” would become visible by physical eyes. Invisible “astral eye” cannot see visible spectrum range which we see. If the soul and “astral eye” are invisible to our physical eyes then the soul cannot see the world in the same spectrum range as our physical eyes see. In best case scenario, invisible “astral eye” can see the world only in the spectrum range which is invisible to our physical eyes (like x-rays spectrum or something like that). The spectrum range seen by physical and astral eyes must be completely different and cannot be the same. Which means that world seen by physical and astral eyes must be two completely different things. This is elementary physics.
However astral travelers report that they are seeing the world in exactly the same spectrum range as seen with physical eyes and this fact is a very strong proof that all these astral journeys happen simply in the virtual world modeled and simulated inside the brain of the astral traveler and these virtual worlds are quite good copies of the physical world.

Some “spiritual gurus” claim that you can learn to see the aura of a man in a few seconds.
For example, Alexey Vasilevich Trekhlebov (rus. Алексей Васильевич Трехлебов) claims that you need to defocus your eyes completely, as if you are looking through the object in front of you, and you will immediately see the aura of the man with your own eyes.

So-called “aura” (the colored halo which appears around the object) can be easily explained by elementary physics.
The defocused pupil of the eye forms the chromatic aberration and as a result the colored halo appears around the image of the object.
This colored halo is caused by the defect of the eye’s optical system and it has nothing to do with the aura of a man.
Explanation below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

In optics, chromatic aberration (CA, also called chromatic distortion, and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index of transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength in degrees unique to each. Chromatic aberration manifests itself as "fringes" of color along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of the image, because each color in the optical spectrum cannot be focused at a single common point. Since the focal length f of a lens is dependent on the refractive index n, different wavelengths of light will be focused on different positions. Chromatic aberration (1) and its reduction by using achromatic lens (2)

Adepts of Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions claim that human has subtle body which has chakras – energy points or knots in the subtle body.
However other esoteric schools claim that the structure of human’s subtle body is completely different and without any chakras. As for example, the adepts of Carlos Castañeda (who proclaimed himself as the follower of Southern Mexico Toltec shamanic tradition) claim that human’s subtle body has the structure of “luminous energy egg” which has “assemblage point”.
It is important to note that neither chakras nor luminous energy egg can be seen by physical eyes and also there is no equipment which would be able to register the existence of chakras or luminous energy egg.
The only possible way to see chakras or luminous energy egg is by entering into “spiritual world”.
It is important to note that when adepts of Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions enter the “spiritual world” they never see luminous energy egg which has assemblage point, they see only chakras, and vice versa – when adepts of Carlos Castañeda enter the “spiritual world” they never see chakras, they see only luminous energy egg which has assemblage point. It is quite obvious that the same human cannot have two completely different incompatible structures of the subtle body.
If the object cannot be registered by physical senses and if there is no equipment which is able to register the existence of the object then such object perfectly matches the definition of “hallucination” – hallucination is a perception in the absence of a stimulus.
In other words, both chakras and luminous energy egg perfectly match the definition of “hallucination”.
The experience inside “spiritual world” is governed by fundamental law: the apriori belief system of the man fully determines and defines what kind of objects that man will see inside “spiritual world”. If a man apriori believes that astral (silver) cord exists then such man will see astral cord when being in “spiritual world”. If a man apriori believes that chakras exist then such man will see chakras when being in “spiritual world”. If a man apriori believes that luminous energy egg which has assemblage point exists then such man will see luminous energy egg with has assemblage point when being in “spiritual world”. And so on.
Hallucinations are experienced not only by humans, but also by other animals too – one good proof for that are dogs whose master has died some time ago, such dogs sometimes stare into the empty space and begin acting exactly in the same unique way as if his master has come to visit him – at such moments religious adepts believe that the dog sees the ghost of his dead master who has come to visit the dog – the reality is that the dog sees hallucinatory image of his dead master which is generated inside the dog’s brain.

Religious adepts claim that a man born blind gains the ability to see when entering NDE (Near-Death Experience) or OOBE (Out-of-Body-Experience). One example of such claim is provided below.

There are many documented cases when surgery has restored the ability of seeing in born blind adult patients. In all such cases after the recovery from blindness the patients were unable to recognize any object (as for example, were unable to distinguish a spoon from a horse, a square from circle, etc) and only after long training such man hardly learns to recognize some objects (not all objects, but only some classes of objects). In many cases such patients never learn to recognize visual objects and restored seeing is only a hindrance for a patient because main personality is irritated by signals coming from the eyes and these signals cannot be usefully processed, so these patients simply put on black glasses and continue to live fully blind life to which they are already used to.
Religious adepts claim that when a man born blind enters NDE/OOBE he gains the ability see and in an instant moment he can recognize objects, however such claims can be easily proved to be wrong by using born blind patients who recovered from blindness using surgery – these patients do see, however they are unable to recognize any visual object. Thus all reports which claim that born blind man was able to see and instantly recognize trees/table/etc in NDE/OOBE contradict medical facts. Ability of seeing and ability of recognizing objects are two separate unrelated things. In order to clarify the idea we will provide an analogy. Suppose you hear a man speaking some unknown foreign language – in this case you are able to hear sounds, however you are unable to recognize any word in continuous speech, for you the continuous speech will be equivalent to a simple noise. Exactly same situation is with born blind patients – recovery from blindness simply flushes the main personality with visual noise and none of the visual objects can be recognized and identified.

Religious adepts claim that flat EEG during NDE (Near-Death Experience) proves that the person was completely dead during NDE experience, however such claim is not true. The truth is that EEG is unable to register the electric potentials generated by an individual neurons, EEG is able to register only the synchronous activity of thousands of neurons. If EEG is flat then it does not mean that all neurons are “silent” and “dead”. To clarify the idea we will provide the analogy. Suppose you are walking nearby a football stadium (during a match) in which thousands of football fans synchronously loudly chant the name of their supported team – you can hear this chanting even being far away from the stadium. However if football fans do not synchronously chant loudly then you will be unable to hear what two men are talking to each other sitting in nearby seats in the stadium. Exactly the same situation is with EEG. When heart beating and breathing stops, the brain is transferred into energy saving mode and all non-vital zones of the brain are shut down saving the last resources for the neurocluster of main personality, which immediately is thrown into “spiritual worlds” (into the virtual worlds modeled by the brain). Huge zones of the brain are devoted for processing information coming from sensory organs (extracting invariant features), as for example in order to recognize visual stimulus (as for example the figure of some deity/angel/etc) coming from the physical eyes millions of neurons must do information processing and this neural activity can be registered with EEG. However when being in “spiritual world” the deity/angel/etc is modeled by relatively small number of neurons and EEG is unable to register this neural activity, EEG will be flat despite the fact that at the same time main personality is communicating with deity/angel/etc in “spiritual world”. This is elementary physics and neurobiology. The main personality can have extensive “spiritual experience” during flat EEG. When a man is in coma stage and if you will put microelectrodes into single neurons then you will be able to register neural spikes in single neurons even when EEG is flat. Neurons stop firing spikes only when they are physically damaged or destroyed.

Christians claim that Jesus resurrected from the dead and this proves the divinity. However Jesus resurrected from the coma stage, not from the dead. The word “coma” is never mentioned in Bible despite the fact that many people were experiencing coma stage in biblical times. The word “coma” was hardly used in the known literature up to the middle of the 17th century. The people who surrounded Jesus did not know about coma stage and at these times all people in coma stage were considered as dead. Simply nearby Jesus there were no qualified persons to diagnose the coma stage, so the coma stage was misdiagnosed as the death. Resurrection from the coma stage is not a miracle at all. Thousands of people around the world resurrect from the coma stage every day.

The brain of Jesus was damaged while Jesus was in a coma, so when Jesus awoke from a coma, Jesus began proclaiming delirious hallucinations – Jesus claimed that if a man is a believer then such man can drink any deadly poison and the poison will not hurt him, and so on. After proclaiming these delusions Jesus finally died, and since that moment nobody has ever seen Jesus alive, from that moment Jesus is seen by people only in the hallucinatory visions.

Many Christians disagree with the fact that Jesus was in the coma state – these Christians claim that the heart of Jesus was pierced and no human can survive the piercing of the heart, only God can survive the piercing of the heart. It is important to note that the Bible text does not tell anything about piercing of the heart of Jesus. The Bible text tells that the side of Jesus was pierced (John 19, 34), however the “side” is not equivalent to “heart”.

Due to the lack of medical knowledge the Christians naively believe that piercing of the heart somehow proves the divinity of Jesus, Christians naively believe that no mortal human can survive the piercing of the heart. However this is not true. There are many documented cases where the people have survived the piercing of the heart and this fact disproves the claim of Christians that piercing of the heart supposedly proves the divinity. Mortal people can survive the piercing of the heart too, the divinity is not needed.
And by the way, it is interesting to note, that in many churches the statues of Jesus have the wound of piercing on the wrong side – the wound of piercing is on right side of Jesus, not on left side of Jesus, which contradicts their own claims that Jesus was pierced into the heart.

Some religious adepts claim that existence of soul can be proved by measuring the weight of the body during the death process. According to these claims Dr. Duncan “Om” MacDougall had discovered that at the moment of death the human body loses approximately 21 grams weight and supposedly this is the weight of the soul which leaves the body. When other researchers tried to reproduce these measurements they had failed to register the weight loss during the moment of death. Even Dr. Duncan “Om” MacDougall himself did not register the weight loss in all cases of death (out of MacDougall's six patients only one had lost weight at the moment of death).
Human body naturally loses weight by evaporating water (by sweating and breathing process) at rate of 40-50 grams per hour, and maximum sweat rates of an adult can be up to 2–4 liters per hour. During very intensive physical workload an adult can loose up to 1 kg in 10 minutes because of water evaporation. The weight loss rate of 1 kg per 10 minutes means that 21 grams will be lost in 12.6 seconds. In other words, 21 grams of weight can be lost in ~15 seconds just because of water evaporation. On Russian TV there was a documentary movie in which a man standing on weighing-machine repeatedly demonstrated that he can lose 21 grams in half a minute just by tensing his whole body muscles.
It is important to note that the death process does not happen instantaneously, the death process has some duration in time, and during that time the body evaporates water. Because the organism tries to fight the death by any means possible and mobilizes all recourses available, it is quite possible that this will lead to extreme tension of whole body muscles and as a result will lead to weight loss at the maximum rate because of water evaporation. The lost 21 grams of weight has nothing to do with the soul weight, this is just the water vapor weight which leaves the body.

When a man is in “astral worlds” then the brain blocks the movement of the physical body, however the control of 1) the breathing, 2) eye movement and 3) tongue movement stay intact thus every action done with “astral” eyes/tongue/ breathing is perfectly mirrored in physical body. Which means, that when a man is in the “astral world” he can still send signals to physical world using his eyes/tongue movements and breathing – all you need to do is to arrange in advance the communication codes (as for example Morse code could be used) to transfer meaningful information into physical world thus proving that a man has awareness when his physical body is immobile.

Religious adepts claim that OOBE is the highest level of “astral traveling”. During OOBE the soul leaves physical body and sees physical body from aside and flies through the walls.
However in reality OOBE is not the highest level of “astral traveling”. And here is the explanation why it is so.
All “astral” phenomena which have different names and which look like different unrelated phenomena (simple dreaming, lucid dreaming, OOBE, NDE, etc) actually are various manifestations of the same identical phenomenon. The best proof for that is the fact, that very often these “different unrelated phenomena” gradually morph one into another, as for example at first man sees simple dream which gradually morphs into OOBE and then OOBE gradually morphs back into simple dream and so on.
“Astral” phenomena which have different names and which look like different unrelated phenomena (simple dreaming, lucid dreaming, OOBE, NDE, etc) differ from each other only by the degree of realism of the world which man sees and also by the degree of clarity of perception while he is inside that “spiritual world”. When the seen world differs very strongly from real physical world and when clarity of perception is very low (like being drunk from alcohol) then we have a simple dream. The more features of seen world come closer to features of real physical world and the higher the clarity of perception – the higher the level of “astral travel”.
Lucid dreaming is higher level than simple dream, because clarity of perception is higher than in simple dream. OOBE is higher level than lucid dreaming because in OOBE the seen world quite closely resembles real physical world while in lucid dream a man travels in fictitious non-existing worlds. However there are several important differences between OOBE world and real physical world. In OOBE world the man can fly in the air, man can fly through the walls, man can see his physical body from aside, etc – in other words the physical laws of real world are modeled with bugs, unrealistically.
However much higher level than OOBE is the state of “false awakening”. “False awakening” is the state when a man thinks that he has waken up and he accomplishes his daily morning rituals (like washing, cooking, going to school/work, etc) and a man is completely sure that he is in real physical world because all physical laws are modeled 100 percent perfectly. When a man is in OOBE state he can easily recognize that he is in OOBE state because physical laws are modeled with bugs – in OOBE state he can fly through the walls, he can see his physical body from aside, etc – thus he can easily recognize that he is not in real physical world. However in “false awakening” state he has absolutely no clues and no chances to recognize that he is not in real physical world, because he cannot fly through the walls, he cannot see his body from aside, etc – all physical laws are modeled much more realistically than in OOBE case – and it is impossible for him to detect that he is not in real physical world. And he can discover that it was “false awakening” only when the alarm clock rings, he wakes up and discovers that he is still lying in bed while theoretically he should be already in school/work/etc because theoretically he had waken up long time ago and had done all daily morning rituals already.
In other words, seeing own physical body from aside and flying through walls is a bug of modeling in the brain and this bug enables easily recognize that you are not in real physical world. However “false awakening” state is a result of much better quality modeling inside the brain which has no modeling bugs and is absolutely indistinguishable from real physical world, like in the movie “The Matrix”.

Many religious adepts claim that you can easily recognize that you are inside “astral world” by looking into the mirror – if the mirror shows nothing or distorted reflection then you can know that you are in “astral world”, and if the mirror shows undistorted good reflection then you can know that you are in real physical world. However this “mirror test” in reality is completely unreliable, because mirror reflection is missing or distorted only when a man’s brain is unable to model the correct reflected image, however if man’s brain is capable to model correct reflected image then such man will see perfect reflected mirror image when being inside “astral world” – it all depends on modeling capabilities of a particular man. The are many people who see perfect reflected mirror images while being in dream thus “mirror test” is totally non-working test for such people. The movie “Inception” also has the similar error – according to the movie a spinning tractricoid was reliable testing technique – should he spin the top and it topples over, he is awake; if it continues to spin, then he is still dreaming. However in reality such test of “spinning tractricoid” is totally unreliable – the brain of the sleeper might have no problem at all to model the spinning tractricoid which will topple over just the same as in real physical world.

There are a lot of stories about UFOs which claim that alien beings have abducted humans. A lot of such stories claim that human body was lifted by the beam of light coming out of the UFO and that human body was carried through the walls and/or roof of the building. If the alien abduction story contains the episode about human body passing through the walls and/or roof of the building, then this is the telltale sign and evidence that this alien abduction story is exactly the same phenomenon as lucid dream, OOBE, false awakening and similar. In other words, the events of the story were generated inside the brains of the story teller.

Sleepwalking (a.k.a. somnambulism or noctambulism) is a sleep disorder belonging to the parasomnia family. Medical reports show that approximately 18 percent of the population is prone to sleepwalking, however only 1 percent of the population experiences sleepwalking events regularly. Every tenth man knows at least one sleepwalking event during his lifetime. During sleepwalking event a man rises from bed and walks however his level of consciousness, reaction and motors skills are low. Sleepwalkers perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. Sleepwalker returns to the bed himself or with the mild help of others. During sleepwalking event the sleepwalker can accomplish simple actions like sitting up in the bed, walking to the bathroom, and cleaning, however sleepwalker’s actions can be also as complicated and as hazardous as cooking, driving, violent gestures, grabbing at hallucinated objects, having sex, or even homicide. Sleepwalkers can even leave the home, drive the car, go up to the roof and walk on the roof like a cat, etc. Sleepwalking may last as little as 30 seconds or as long as 30 minutes, and in some rare cases may last several hours. Sleepwalker reacts very weakly when other people try to influence his action or when they try to communicate with the sleepwalker and huge endeavors are needed to wake up the sleepwalker. When sleepwalker is asked something, he responds with unarticulated murmur or answers with one word. Sleepwalker often have little or no memory of the dangerous incidents in which he has been involved (like a fire, being buried alive, being chased on the roof, etc) because their consciousness has altered into a state in which it is harder to recall memories. Although their eyes are open, their expression is dim and glazed over. In many countries sleepwalkers are not allowed into the military service because during sleepwalking event they can misuse the weapons and other military equipment. A common misconception is that the sleepwalker cannot harm himself. In the reality sleepwalkers do harm themselves due the lack of agility and the lack of the balance. Another common misconception is that sleepwalkers are not dangerous to anyone, however there many cases reported in which sleepwalkers were involved violent actions, even murders, and after waking up they did not remember anything.

The underlying mechanism of sleepwalking and multiple personality disorder is exactly identical – the autonomous neurocluster takes over the control of the man’s body.
The difference between sleepwalking and multiple personality disorder is the following. In the case of sleepwalking switching between alternative personalities occurs when a man goes to sleep. And in the case of multiple personality disorder switching between alternative personalities occurs while a man is awake.
In multiple personality disorder usually alternative personalities have low level of intelligence, like a zombie, however sometimes alternative personalities have high level of intelligence.
Exactly the same is with sleepwalking – sometimes alternative personalities do have high intelligence.

In the “folk wisdom” there is huge number of sleepwalking cases, however due to the ignorance of the brain physiology the sleepwalking cases are mystified, like for example when the sleepwalker leaves his home, goes to neighbor’s house and steals various objects (gold/silver jewelry, paper money, firewood, grains, apples, etc) and brings back to his home these stolen items – the “folk wisdom” considers that
Aitvaras/Pūķis/Hännamees/Kratt/etc
has brought these items to his master.

When the sleepwalker accomplishes household chores (washes dishes, shaves potatoes, etc) – the “folk wisdom” considers that the
brownie/brounie/domovoi/urisk/brùnaidh/ùruisg/gruagach/kobold/hob/ev iyesi/tomte/nisse/tomtenisse/kabouter/etc
has done that household chore and so on.

For some movies about brownie (domovoi) please click here.

What is the underlying mechanism of the sleepwalking? It is very simple. During the sleep the main personality of a man falls asleep and during that time the autonomic neurocluster takes over the control of the human body and initiates actions. When the main personality wakes up he can not remember what was happening during the sleepwalking because all events had happened without his knowledge.

When a sleepwalker is engaged in sexual activities then this phenomenon called sexsomnia. Sexsomniac has sex while asleep, a women might even become pregnant, however after awakening a man has absolutely no remembrance of his sexual activities. Christian saint Virgin Mary (who became pregnant from the Holy Spirit) perfectly matches the criteria for sexsomnia.

Some sorts of sleeping pills (like for example “Zolpidem”) can induce sleepwalking incidents which are very different from standard sleepwalking incidents. In standard sleepwalking cases it is almost impossible to carry any meaningful conversation with the sleepwalker because the intelligence level of standard sleepwalker is very low, however in pill induced sleepwalking cases the sleepwalker can carry complex meaningful conversations with other people who are even unable to recognize that they are having conversation with the sleepwalker, however after waking up in the morning the sleepwalker is unable to remember anything from his sleepwalking activity, just like in standard sleepwalking cases.

It is interesting to note that very often insomnia is caused by some subthreshold stimulus which is too weak to reach the awareness of main personality, however strong enough to prevent falling asleep, as a classical example of such case is the increased stomach acidity which is too weak to be noticed by the awareness of main personality however which is strong enough to induce insomnia. A man may be fully unaware that his stomach acidity is too high and such man will have no idea why he is unable to fall asleep. However if such insomniac will drink at least one antacid tablet (which neutralizes gastric acid in the stomach) he will be able to fall asleep in ten minutes or so – in such case antacid tablet will be more effective than sleeping pill.

The similar underlying mechanism is during the state of affect. When a deadly danger condition arises the autonomic neurocluster pushes the main personality from the control of the body and takes over the control of the body, the autonomic neurocluster accomplishes defensive and/or lifesaving actions, and then returns the control of the body to the main personality. Most countries allow conditions that "affect the balance of the mind" to be regarded as mitigating circumstances. In many countries there is a common legal practice – if the forensic psychiatrists determine that the murder was done in the state of affect the man is considered not guilty and not responsible.
Religious adepts believe that every man has his own “guardian angel” which protects and guides a man and which can save a man from a deadly danger. The underlying mechanism of the “guardian angel” is very simple. The “guardian angel” is the autonomic neurocluster which takes over the control of the body thus saving man’s life in the deadly danger situation.

Let’s examine the underlying mechanisms of invoking of spirits in the spiritualistic séance. During the spiritualistic séance spirits can be invoked in various ways, however one of the most popular and the best working method is “needle on the thread” method which works in the following way. A group of people (usually 3-10) sit around the table. A piece of paper is placed on the table. The circle is drawn on the paper and alphabet letters are written on the perimeter of the circle (image below shows an example of such “spirit board”).

http://www.abaxion.com/kee110.htm

Buckland Spirit Board

http://zentaro.ru/284

Журнал Магия – ZenTaro.ru

One of the participants takes into the hand the thread with the attached needle and stretches his hand over the table in such way that needle would hang above the center of the circle with alphabet letters. Then participants decide which spirit they would like to invoke. For example, participants have decided to invoke the spirit of Napoleon. Then all participants concentrate and begin mentally calling the spirit of Napoleon. However spirits are self-willed and invoking of the spirit can fail. It is very easy to check if the spirit invocation has succeeded or not. You need to ask questions for the spirit and the spirit provides the answers via the thread which has a needle attached at the end. After asking the question you need to hold the hand with the thread above the circle with alphabet letters and you need to look closely where the needle moves. The needle should move from one alphabet letter to another alphabet letter thus forming words and sentences. If the needle does not move at all or the movement of needle forms meaningless jumble of letters then this means that you have failed in spirit invocation. However this is not the end of the game. You can try invoking the same spirit anew, however now another participant should take thread with needle into his hand and procedure of the spirit invocation is started all over again. In case of the failure the third participant repeats the procedure again. And so on. Only in the case when none of the participants has succeeded in spirit invocation, only in that case it is considered that this particular spirit can not be invoked and participants must choose another spirit for invocation. If invoking of Napoleon spirit has failed then maybe the invocation of Abraham Lincoln’s spirit will succeed. And the invocation procedure is started all over again anew. The procedure is repeated as many times as needed until invocation of any spirit will succeed. When spirit is invoked, the communication with spirit is accomplished by asking questions and looking closely at the movement of needle over the circle with alphabet letters which should form words and sentences from single letters.
Exactly the same procedure can be used for invoking communication with various Gods, like Jesus/Krishna/Buddha/etc.

Communication with spirit (spiritualistic séance) is governed by several laws:

1) The thread the needle must be hold in the hand of alive human. If the needle with the thread will be tied to some inanimate object (like for example the lamp, ceiling, etc) then no spirit will be able to move that needle from standing still position, no spirit will be able to move that needle forming words and sentences from the letters. The needle will hang still in one place. In other words, the spirit can manifest itself only via movements of alive human. Without alive human who holds thread with the needle the spirit will be unable to manifest itself. If the needle with the thread will be tied to some inanimate object then it will hang still in one place no matter what kind of magic incantations, prayers, magic incense/candles, drum beats, chanting, etc will be used – nothing will help and the needle will hang still firmly in one place. And according to claims of religious adepts spirits are able to move and throw heavy objects (like tables, closets, etc) – in such case moving a thread with a needle must be extremely easy task for the spirit. However needle is unable to move unless it is held be alive human. The techniques of spiritualistic séances clearly show that spirits are unable to move inanimate objects – no spirit is able to move the needle from standing still position if that needle is tied to inanimate object. The spirit can manifest itself only via movements of alive human.

2) Only small percentage of people can invoke the spirit with thread and needle method. For example if you have a group of 10 participants then only 1, 3, 5, 7, etc participants can invoke the spirit. Only in rare cases the spirit can be invoked by all participants in the group.

3) Every man has the unique psychological portrait and a man can be identified by his unique characteristic speech pattern, unique characteristic vocabulary, unique characteristic style of sentences, even unique characteristic grammatical errors, etc. As for example when we have a text piece consisting of 10 sentences often we can quite clearly identify if this text was written by Peter, John, Thomas or somebody else. The same concept applies to spirits too. Spirits have their unique psychological portrait too. However it very important to note that the same spirit X (for example Napoleon’s spirit) changes its psychological portrait depending on which man is holding the thread with the needle. For example if John holds the thread with the needle then Napoleon’s spirit will become very knowledgeable in music and ignoramus in technical sciences, however if Peter takes the thread with the needle in his hands then Napoleon’s spirit becomes knowledgeable in technical sciences and ignoramus in music, when the thread with the needle is returned back to John the Napoleon’s spirit becomes again knowledgeable in music and ignoramus in technical sciences. In other words experimental results of spiritualistic séances clearly show that Napoleon’s spirit changes its psychological portrait depending on which man is holding the thread with the needle. It is obvious that if Napoleon’s spirit would be independently existing independent object then its psychological portrait would remain stable and would not change when different people take the thread with the needle into their hands. This means that Napoleon’s spirit is modeled by the neurocluster inside man’s brain. Different people have different knowledge about Napoleon and thus they have different Napoleon models inside their brain. Some things in these Napoleon models will similar however there will be also differences. And the more the knowledge about Napoleon differs in different people the more the psychological portraits of Napoleon’s spirit will be different when these people invoke Napoleon’s spirit using thread with the needle method. If a man’s brain contains insufficient knowledge about Napoleon, in other words if a man’s brain has very weak model about Napoleon then such man will be unable to invoke Napoleon’s spirit during spiritualistic séance.
Experimental results show that spirits which are invoked during spiritualistic séances are merely autonomic neuroclusters inside the man’s brain which model personality of spirit X. In other words during spiritualistic séances the man is communicating with his own autonomic neuroclusters inside its own brain in the similar way like in the split-brain experiments. Due to the ignorance of the brain physiology people naively believe that they are communicating with the spirits from outside of the material world.

Below is the documentary movie in which the dog attacks its own leg because autonomous neurocluster (inside the brain of the dog) is moving the leg. Dog’s main personality is not moving the leg, the leg is moved by autonomous neurocluster and that is the reason why dog’s main personality recognizes this movement as the “enemy”.
During the spiritualistic séances the hand/leg of the medium is moving exactly the same way as in the example with the dog – the hand/leg of the medium is moved by autonomous neurocluster inside the brain of the medium.
Also the same underlying mechanism is in dowsing, psychography, etc.

For more movies about dogs attacking own leg please click here.

4) The invoked spirit is able to speak only in the languages which are known by the medium. The invoked the spirit is unable to speak in the language which is not known by the medium. For example, if the Russians medium (who does not speak French language) will invoke the spirit of Frenchman Napoleon, then Napoleonic spirit will speak only in Russian language and this spirit will be unable to even stammer a word in French language. When you ask religious adepts how it is possible that the spirit of Frenchman Napoleon knows Russian language, the religious adepts unanimously claim that the spirits supposedly can speak in all languages of the world. However, if the spirits can speak in all languages of the world, let the invoked spirit speak in his native language. Let a Frenchman Napoleon speak in French language. However, the Frenchman Napoleon’s spirit is unable to even stammer a word in French language if the medium is Russian who does not speak French.
These experimental results show that spirits which are invoked during spiritualistic séances are merely autonomic neuroclusters inside the man’s brain which model personality of spirit X. In other words during spiritualistic séances the man is communicating with his own autonomic neuroclusters inside its own brain in the similar way like in the split-brain experiments. Due to the ignorance of the brain physiology people naively believe that they are communicating with the spirits from outside of the material world.

5) If spiritualistic séances are performed regularly for prolonged periods of time then very often mediums begin to experience “strange unexplainable frightening things” – various objects in the home begin disappearing and reappearing in unusual places (like for example shoes in the fridge), clothes are thrown out from closets and closets are overthrown to the floor, tables overthrown, various things are broken, etc. However all these stories have one common pattern – when a man is asked “have you seen with your own eyes how these things move, fly around or break apart?”, the answer is always “no, I have not seen that with my own eyes, however when I opened the door of the room, I had found things scattered and broken, closet overthrown to the floor, etc”, in other words, he always sees only the final result (things moved or broken), however he never sees the action itself – how these things move or break. For some mediums these “strange unexplainable frightening things” disappear themselves and never come back again, however for other mediums these incidents do not stop and continue happening until a man gets crazy from permanent fear and that man ends up in a lunatic asylum.

Let’s raise a question: why spiritualistic séances often end up with “strange unexplainable frightening things” happening to the medium?
The answer is simple. When spiritualistic séances are performed regularly for prolonged periods of time then autonomic neuroclusters in the brain develop more and more the ability to control man’s body independently from main personality – at first only small microscopic hand movements and later autonomic neurocluster becomes able to take over the control of whole body and this phenomenon is called “sleepwalking”.
During sleepwalking a man gets out from the bed, walks around the home moving and breaking various objects, goes back to bed, and in the morning when he wakes up he has no remembrance of his nocturnal activity. After waking up he finds that some objects in his home are misplaced in unusual places and some of the objects are broken. A man immediately begins to panic “who has moved these objects if I was alone in the home?”. In order to remain sanity a man needs to have model of the world which would explain what is happening around him. The fastest explanation for misplaced objects is that some flying-demon-spirit has moved these objects. However the truth is that he himself has moved these objects while sleepwalking, however he does not know that, so he strongly sticks to the belief that demon-spirits are flying around in his house. During sleepwalking incidents he might even kill people and when he will wake up he will be strongly convinced that demon-spirits had killed these people.
If “strange unexplainable frightening things” happen during the night then it is the classical case of sleepwalking, however if “strange unexplainable frightening things” happen during the daytime (such cases are much more rare) then it is the case of “multiple personality disorder“. However most often spiritualistic séances end up in being “possessed by demons”.
The underlying mechanism of sleepwalking, multiple personality disorder and “demonic possession” is exactly identical – the autonomous neurocluster takes over the control of the man’s body. Sleepwalking, multiple personality disorder and “demonic possession” are just different manifestations/projections of the same phenomenon.

Religious adepts claim that teleportation is one of the “siddhi powers” which the adept can achieve when he has reached high spiritual states.
The underlying mechanism of “teleportation” is very simple. During sleepwalking and/or MPD (multiple personality disorder) incident the man travels to another place and when he wakes up he finds himself in a new place having absolutely no knowledge about how he has got there and thus he becomes strongly convinced that he has teleported from one location into another.

Religious adepts claim that stigmata are miracles and stigmata are the evidence of holiness. However real experimental facts show that stigmata are the result of self-mutilation during sleepwalking and/or MPD (multiple personality disorder) incidents which are usually invoked by prolonged self-starvation and prayers.

Religious adepts claim that chrism oil (a.k.a. myrrh) coming out of icons is the evidence of holiness – the majority of such cases are simple forgeries carefully plotted and made by religious adepts who are very aware of their deceptive activity, however sometimes the story behind myrrh-streaming icons is much more interesting – during sleepwalking and/or MPD (multiple personality disorder) incidents the religious adept comes to the icon and moistens it with chrism oil – when religious adept wakes up into full awareness he has no recollection of his activity and when he finds out that icon “has become myrrh-streaming” he becomes strongly convinced that he has witnessed the miracle with his own eyes. The same identical underlying mechanism (i.e. sleepwalking and/or MPD activity) is behind other religious miracles as well.
And this raises an interesting technical question: when the religious adept accomplishes “miraculous” actions during sleepwalking and/or MPD incident and when he wakes up and he has no recollection whatsoever about his sleepwalking/MPD activity and when he begins broadcasting “news about the miracle” to other people – can we consider such man as a swindler/deceiver? The main personality of such man has no knowledge whatsoever about the physical activity of the autonomous neuroclusters (inside his own brain) which have accomplished the “miracle” using the physical body of that man. Actually the main personality of such man is himself a victim of the deception accomplished by autonomous neuroclusters residing inside his own brain.

In is important to note, that prayers are in essence the unidirectional spiritualistic séances because the purpose of the prayer is to deliver adept’s requests for the deity without getting any real-time feedback from that deity. When Christians pray to Jesus and Mary then by definition the Christians are actually conducting unidirectional spiritualistic séances with Jesus and Mary.

It is interesting to note that dogmas of almost all religions strictly forbid any contact with the spirits and forbid all forms of mediumship.
As for example God Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH in the Bible has strictly forbidden any contact with the spirits and all forms of mediumship.

Nonetheless the leaders/founders of the religious cults totally ignore God’s prohibition to talk to spirits.
As for example, Jesus totally ignored the prohibition of God Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH to talk to spirits and that was one of the reasons why God Yahweh/Jehovah/YHWH killed Jesus.

Religious adepts believe that spirits are some kind of “cloudlets”, which can travel via air, which can fly from one geographical location into another, which can throw/break material objects, which can reveal themselves to “spiritually advanced” adepts, etc.
Wrong understanding about the physical nature of “spirits” leads to wrong actions, as for example religious adepts spray with “holy water” places which are “possessed by ghosts” naively expecting that this supposedly should help.
Skeptic scientists who are ignoramus about the existence of autonomic neuroclusters make wrong conclusions too. When such skeptic scientist investigates medium who communicates with poltergeist by knock sounds (as for example one knock means “yes” and two knocks means “no”) and when he finds out that knocking is accomplished by the leg of the medium under the table, skeptic scientist declares that medium is the swindler. Yes, of course, there mediums who are swindlers, however there many cases where the main personality of the medium has no awareness about the fact that the leg of the medium is kicking the floor under the table – in this case the accusation of being swindler is actually incorrect.

“Communication with God” has exactly the same underlying principle as “spiritualistic séance” – when a man prays every day and ask the God to show up, then neurocluster which models the God becomes stronger and stronger, until one day it might begin communication with the man’s main personality as independent personality. By the way, a technical hint for ones who wishfully desire to talk with God but had failed in reaching this goal so far – the good working technique for invoking the God is the spiritualistic “thread with a needle” technique which was described above. The technique for invoking the God is exactly the same as the technique for invoking any spirit.

Religious adepts claim that spirits are something like “vapor/dust/light clouds” which travel via air and can interact with material objects, like for example pushing heavy furniture, smashing cups and glasses, moving around objects, etc (a.k.a. poltergeist). However techniques used in spiritualistic séances clearly show that spirits are unable to move the inanimate object – no spirit is able to move a thread with a needle when the thread is tied to some inanimate object (like for example the lamp, ceiling, etc). Spirit can manifest itself only via movements done by the alive human – thread with a needle will move only when it is held by alive human. And this raises the simple question: if the spirits were able to push and smash heavy objects (like furniture) then movement of a thread with a needle would be extremely easy task for the spirit, isn’t it? However experimental results show that spirits are unable to move such extra light object as the thread with the needle when needle is tied to some inanimate object. Spirits can manifest themselves only via the movements of the human body.
Almost all religions and cults claim exactly the same error – they all claim that spirits can exist independently from physical body. The origin of such erroneous claim is due to the fact that “spiritual travelers” very often encounter “spiritual beings” which have no match for any known object in real physical world, thus “spiritual travelers” had made incorrect conclusion that these “spiritual beings” exist without any physical body. However in reality all “spiritual beings” are simulated by autonomic egregoric neuroclusters which reside in the physical brain of the “spiritual traveler”.
Below is a classical example of such erroneous claims – Carlos Castañeda (who proclaimed himself as the follower of Southern Mexico Toltec shamanic tradition) used the term “inorganic beings” to denote autonomic egregoric neuroclusters which have no match for any known object in real physical world. Carlos Castañeda naively believed that “inorganic beings” live independently from any physical body, however in reality all “inorganic beings” are destroyed when the brain of the adept is destroyed (just like computer game characters are destroyed when the computer is physically destroyed).

Religious adepts are strongly convinced that during a lifetime the immortal soul/spirit collects “spiritual experience” and “develops/enhances spirituality” – at the first glance such claim looks correct, as for example, let’s take a kindergartener and an adult – in this case an adult is “much more experienced and much more spiritually developed” than a kindergartener. However this theory of “spiritual development during a lifetime” has one fundamental fault which religious adepts fail to notice, the fundamental bug of this theory is the following – when a man reaches old-age then all his mental-spiritual abilities begin to deteriorate, majority of pensioners get dementia which becomes stronger and stronger with every year – these old men lose their memories, forget their own names, etc. Only in rare exceptional cases old-man retains fully functioning vivid clear mind while the majority of old men get dementia and prayers to God and/or strict observance of religious regulations does not save them from old-age dementia.
The real world fact of old-age men getting dementia disproves the beliefs of religious adepts who claim that during lifetime human soul/spirit collects “spiritual experience” and “develops/enhances spirituality”. Even if we will make an assumption that human soul/spirit does collect “spiritual experience” then this period happens only from childhood to adulthood, however later human soul/spirit starts to lose all his “accumulated spiritual experience” – you can easily verify that by visiting any retirement home (a.k.a. old people's home) which houses many old-age people.

And this leads to a simple conclusion – if you believe that you will take your “accumulated spiritual experience” into post-mortal world then you should kill yourself while you are in the peak of “accumulated spiritual experience” – if you will not do that then senility will wipe out your “accumulated spiritual experience” just like the piece of ice melts under the hot sun, and into post-mortal world you will take only pity leftovers of your “accumulated spiritual experience”. One of the main reasons why people want to have children is the expectation that your children will take care of you in your elderly years. Actually, there is no guarantee that your children will take care of you in your elderly years, as for example your children may die or become invalids earlier than you, however that is not the main point. Let’s take “the best case scenario” and let’s assume that your children will take care of you in your elderly years – in that case your children will sustain you being alive longer which will result in you reaching deeper stages of dementia and losing even more of your “accumulated spiritual experience” when compared to scenario in which you had died earlier still having larger amount of “accumulated spiritual experience”. Just think for a moment – what kind of “spiritual experience” the old-man will take into post-mortal world when he is completely lost in time and space, when he does not remember his own name, etc.
Religious adepts are convinced that after the death of their physical bodies their soul/spirit will travel into the paradise/hell or will reincarnate into some other living creature/being. Let’s analyze both scenarios.
According to religious dogmas all these old-age doddering dementia-ill adepts who go to Church every weekend – all these dementia-ill adepts will get into the paradise after the death of their physical bodies. Which means that if you will get into the paradise too then you will find yourself surrounded by myriads of these dementia-ill souls who are completely lost in time and space, who do not remember their own names, etc – according to religious dogmas all these dementia-ill souls will be gathered into the paradise because they had observed religious orders during their earthly life – which raises a simple question: do you really want spend your eternity completely surrounded by these myriads of dementia-ill souls inhabiting the paradise, is it really your most desired goal?
Now let’s analyze another scenario – the reincarnation of your soul/spirit into some other living creature/being. You have had very hard time trying to accumulate “spiritual experience” during your earthly lifetime, and then in old age you become dementia-ill and lose all your accumulated “spiritual experience” and as a result you reincarnate into the cockroach. In your new cockroach-life you have no idea for what kind of “bad karma” you were punished to become a cockroach, because according to dogmatism of reincarnation the soul/spirit has no remembrance whatsoever from the previous life. So this cockroach has no idea whatsoever what sin/error he needs to repair from previous life, because the cockroach knows nothing about his previous human-incarnation. In the new reincarnation as the cockroach you again try to accumulate “spiritual experience”, then cockroach gets old age, becomes dementia-ill, loses all his accumulated “spiritual experience”, and after the death reincarnates into the amoeba. And the process is repeated again and again the infinite number of times... a really meaningless scenario of existence, isn’t it?

Below is the simple thought experiment which disproves the claim of religious adepts that during a lifetime the immortal soul/spirit collects “spiritual experience” and “develops/enhances spirituality”.
Let’s raise a simple technical question: is the soul/spirit a 1) divisible object, or 2) indivisible object? In other words, can the soul/spirit be divided into the composing parts or not?
Here we have two scenarios:
1) If the soul/spirit is divisible object then the soul/spirit is not immortal because it can be destroyed by dividing it into the composing parts.
2) If the soul/spirit is indivisible object then it cannot collect “spiritual experience” because in order to able to save the information about the “collected experience” you need to have the ability to change the states/positions of the composing parts of that object. By definition the indivisible object cannot store information about its previous experience.

In both scenarios the religious dogmas are crushed. If the soul/spirit is able to collect “spiritual experience” then this means that the soul/spirit must be composed of composing parts which means that such soul/spirit is not immortal – it can be destroyed by dividing it into the composing parts. And if the soul is immortal then it must be indivisible which means such soul/spirit cannot collect “spiritual experience” during the lifetime which means that all religious rituals/practices which supposedly collect “good spiritual experience” – all these religious rituals/practices are meaningless.
Two dogmas – 1) the immortality of the soul/spirit and 2) the collection of “spiritual experience” during the lifetime – are two dogmas which contradict each other – if one dogma is true then another dogma is automatically false, they cannot be both true simultaneously.

Some religious teachings claim that apart from physical body the man also has many other subtle bodies. The number and the naming of these subtle bodies are different in different religious schools, however all these different classifications share one common ground – it is claimed that some of these subtle bodies are mortal and they die after the death of the physical body and some other subtle bodies are immortal and are reincarnated into another being (or travel into paradise/hell).

If we will make the assumption that these immortal subtle bodies do exist then as it is shown above all accumulated “spiritual experience” will be completely lost after the reincarnation which means that obedience (of religious adept) to the regulations of religious dogmas is completely meaningless.

Psychography (a.k.a. automatic writing) is a phenomenon when a man takes a sheet of paper, places the paper on the table, takes a pen into his hand, places a hand on the sheet of paper and the hand begins to write text autonomously independently from man’s main personality which looks like some other being had been taken the control over the hand, and the man have no control over the text which is being written on the sheet of paper and the man does not know what will be written on the sheet of paper. Very often the man falls into the trance or hypnotic state during the séance of psychography, however there are some cases when a man remains fully conscious. During the séance of psychography the style of handwriting and the psychological portrait becomes completely different from the original man. Due to the ignorance of the brain physiology people naively believe that psychography proves that the spirit from outside of the material world has taken over the hand of the writer and the writer is a medium (a person who serves as an intermediary between the physical world and the spiritual world). During psychographic séance autonomous neuroclusters inside the brain of the writer are moving the hand of the writer. These autonomous neuroclusters inside the brain of the writer act as independent agents who are able to act independently from the main personality of the writer.
Mediumship is defined as the practice of certain people – known as mediums – to mediate communication between spirits of the dead and other human beings.
Professor Ernest Ropiequet “Jack” Hilgard from Stanford University had made huge number of experiments in which he used hypnosis to set up a hidden observer in the subject that communicated only through automatic writing.
In other words, professor Ernest Hilgard using hypnosis inducted the manifestation of autonomous neuroclusters in the subjects.

The underlying mechanism of hypnosis is very simple – during the hypnosis the main personality of a man is put to sleep and then hypnotist can communicate directly with autonomous neuroclusters inside the subject’s brain giving orders to autonomous neuroclusters and these autonomous neuroclusters carry out orders without the knowledge of main personality.
There is a widespread myth which claims that “a hypnotized person will not execute the commands of the hypnotist which are unacceptable to morality of the hypnotized person”. However the diagram, which shows the underlying mechanism of hypnosis, reveals the fallacy of this myth.
During the hypnotic session, the body of a hypnotized person is controlled by the autonomous neurocluster, which receives verbal commands from the hypnotist’s main personality. At the same time the main personality of the hypnotized person is disconnected from the control of the body. It is important to note that autonomous neurocluster can have and has absolutely distinct “moral values”, which differ from the “moral values” of the main personality. This means that some things that are unacceptable to the main personality can be quite acceptable for an autonomous neurocluster.
The autonomous neurocluster will execute all commands of hypnotist which are acceptable for the autonomous neurocluster, and autonomous neurocluster will not execute commands which are unacceptable for the autonomous neurocluster.

Dowsing (a.k.a. divining, doodlebugging, water finding, water witching or water dowsing) has exactly the same underlying mechanism as psychography. A dowser takes a Y- or L-shaped twig or rod, called a dowsing rod (a.k.a. divining rod, vining rod, witching rod, Latin: virgula divina or baculus divinatorius) into his hands and the movement of the dowsing rod supposedly reveals the location of ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites, or other objects and materials. The movement of the dowsing rod is controlled by autonomous neurocluster inside the brain of the dowser, however the dowser has no awareness of this neurocluster inside his own brain and dowser naively believes that some “spiritual force” is moving the dowsing rod. If the dowsing rod is taken from dowsers hands and is put on steady inanimate object (like table, stool, etc) then dowsing rod stops moving. The dowsing rod moves only in the hands of the dowser. Numerous scientific experiments showed that the real effectiveness of the dowsing in finding objects is almost total zero.

Skeptic scientists who investigate the dowsing phenomenon use the term “ideomotor effect” which supposedly explains phenomena like automatic writing, dowsing, facilitated communication, and Ouija boards.
However the truth is that the etymology of the term “ideomotor” (derived from the components “ideo”, meaning "idea" and “motor”, meaning "muscular action") reveals the complete lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena. The etymology of term “ideomotor” means that ideas move the hand of the dowser which raises a simple question: WHOSE ideas move the hand of the dowser? Do the ideas of the dowser move his hand? Do the ideas of the main personality of the dowser move his hand? Experimental facts show that the hand is moved not by the main personality of the dowser. So, the question remains: whose ideas are moving the hand, if it is not the main personality of the dowser? Psychologist/psychiatrists tell us that some vaguely ill-defined “subconscious” moves the hand, and when you ask them to provide the exact scientific definition “what is the subconscious” then they flood you with pseudoscientific self-contradictory blabber about “subconscious” which has no semantic meaning whatsoever – that blabber is not any better than a blabber of the occultists on the same topic.
So let’s fix this mess, let’s make things clear and scientific once and for all. Autonomous neuroclusters inside the brain of the dowser are moving the hand of the dowser. These autonomous neuroclusters inside the brain of the dowser act as independent agents who are able to act independently from the main personality of the dowser.

Facilitated communication (a.k.a. supported typing) and rapid prompting method has exactly the same underlying mechanism as psychography. The movement of the facilitator’s hand is controlled by autonomous neurocluster inside the brain of the facilitator, however the facilitator has no awareness of this neurocluster inside his own brain and facilitator naively believes that the disabled person is controlling his arm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facilitated_communication

Facilitated communication (FC), or supported typing, is a discredited technique used by some caregivers and educators in an attempt to assist people with severe educational and communication disabilities. The technique involves providing an alphabet board, or keyboard. The facilitator holds or gently touches the disabled person's arm or hand during this process and attempts to help them move their hand and amplify their gestures. In addition to providing physical support needed for typing or pointing, the facilitator provides verbal prompts and moral support. In addition to human touch assistance, the facilitator's belief in their communication partner's ability to communicate seems to be a key component of the technique. There is widespread agreement within the scientific community and multiple disability advocacy organizations that facilitators, not the person with the communication disability, are the source of all or most messages obtained through FC, by guiding the arm of the patient towards answers they expect to see or that form intelligible language. Alternatively, the facilitator may hold the alphabet board and move it to the disabled person's finger. Studies asking about things the facilitator cannot know (for example showing the patient but not the facilitator an object) have confirmed this, showing that a facilitator is generally unable to ‘help’ the patient sign out the answer to a question where they do not know what the answer should be. Numerous cases have been reported by investigators in which disabled persons were claimed by facilitators to be engaged in signing a coherent message while their (the disabled person's) eyes were closed, or they were looking away from or showing no particular interest in the letter board. Some facilitators have countered that FC cannot be clearly disproven by this method, since a testing environment might feel confrontational and alienating to the subject. Because the scientific consensus is that FC is a pseudoscience which causes great risk and emotional distress to people with communication disabilities, their families, and their caregivers, in 2015 Sweden banned the use of FC in special needs schools. Facilitated communication shown in a 1993 PBS documentary, in which a disabled person's right hand is helped to move (or simply pulled) by a facilitator across a board showing the alphabet. The image shows a principal criticism of FC: that often the person is not looking at the board, so they cannot really be signing out a message. Claims: Disabled people may be able to communicate by pointing at letters or with a keyboard if physically held and assisted by an expert facilitator. Year proposed: Late 20th century Original proponents: Rosemary Crossley Subsequent proponents: Douglas Biklen Overview Facilitated communication is promoted as a means to assist people with severe communication disabilities in pointing to letters on an alphabet board, keyboard or other device so that they can communicate independently. It also appears in the literature as "supported typing", "progressive kinesthetic feedback", and "written output communication enhancement". It is somewhat related to the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM), also known as "informative pointing", which has no evidence of efficacy. The person with disabilities, who is often not able to rely on speech to communicate, is referred to as the communication partner. The caregiver, educator or other provider offering physical support to the person with disabilities is called the facilitator. The facilitator holds or gently touches the communication partner's elbow, wrist, hand, sleeve or other parts of the body while the communication partner points to letters of the alphabet printed on a piece of paper or laminated cardboard, letters on an alphabet board, laptop, keyboard or mobile communication device such as an iPad. The Canon Communicator, a small, portable, lightweight device that printed a tape of letters when activated, was popular with early FC users. However, two companies, Crestwood Co. of Glendale, Wisconsin and Abovo Co. of Chicopee, Massachusetts, would later be charged by the Federal Trade Commission for making "false and unsubstantiated claims" that the device could enable people with autism and other disabilities to communicate using FC. The companies settled and stopped mentioning FC in their advertising campaigns. Proponents of FC claim that motor issues (e.g., the neurological condition of apraxia) prevent people with autism from communicating effectively. Although this claim is unsubstantiated (many people with autism have no difficulty pointing to or picking up objects independently, but do exhibit severe communication difficulties characteristic of the disorder), proponents argue that physical support and touch are necessary components of communicating through FC. Candidates for FC, presumably, "lack confidence in their abilities" and physical support, purportedly, helps them overcome this obstacle to communication. The role of the facilitator is depicted by proponents as integral to helping the person with disabilities point to letters (by holding his or her finger or hand), reducing or eliminating uncontrollable arm movements (shaking or flapping), avoiding mistakes in typing, controlling the initiation of movement, and speaking words aloud. As well as physical support in typing, the facilitator provides verbal prompts and moral support. Along with human touch, the facilitator's belief in their communication partner's ability to communicate is seen to be a key component of the technique. History The FC movement may be traced back to the 1960s in Denmark where it failed to take hold because of lack of scientific evidence. FC experienced a period of rapid growth and popularity in Australia in the 1970-1980s, largely due to the efforts of special educator Rosemary Crossley. Arthur Schawlow, a Nobel laureate whose son was autistic, and Douglas Biklen, then a special education professor from Syracuse University who observed Crossley's work in Australia, are credited with popularizing FC in the United States in the late 1980s, early 1990s. FC has also received attention in many other parts of the world: Canada, Germany, Austria, Finland, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Asia. Early adopters of the technique praised FC for its apparent simplicity. FC was promoted as a "teaching strategy" and not an experimental or even risky technique that required objective evaluation or close monitoring. As early as 1991, however, more than 40 empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals involving more than 400 people with autism not only failed to demonstrate FC's efficacy, but indicated that any success reported by proponents of the technique was due to facilitator influence. Many researchers attribute facilitator influence, for the most part, to non-conscious movements. It is thought that facilitators are genuinely unaware that they, not their client or family member, are controlling the communications. In 1994 the American Psychological Association (APA), followed by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), and the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) passed a resolution cautioning practitioners against the use of FC, citing lack of scientific evidence. The APA also recommended that information obtained via FC should not be used to confirm or deny allegations of abuse or make diagnostic or treatment decisions. In recognition of continued scientific evidence against the technique, other organizations joined suit, passing their own resolutions advising their membership to avoid the technique. A British government report concluded in 1998 that 'the phenomenon fails to materialise once facilitator effects have been controlled. It would be hard to justify further research on this'. By 2001 Mark P. Mostert of Regent University School of Education in Virginia Beach, Virginia reported in the second of his comprehensive reviews of peer-reviewed literature investigating FC that "Facilitated Communication (FC) had largely been empirically discredited as an effective intervention for previously uncommunicative persons with disabilities, especially those with autism and related disorders. Key empirical findings consistently showed that the facilitator and not the client initiated communication." Many people believed FC had passed its peak, dismissing it as a fad and characterizing it as pseudo-scientific. However, despite these findings, FC proponents continued their adherence to the technique, dismissing empirical investigations as irrelevant, flawed or unnecessary, characterized FC as an "effective and legitimate intervention" in pro-FC literature, and refused to change their minds or admit their mistakes. The FC movement retained popularity in some parts of the United States, Australia, and Germany, and continued to be used in many countries as of 2014. "All the newer pro-FC studies operate from the premise that FC works and is a legitimate practice to be used in investigating any number of other phenomena related to people with autism and other related severe communication problems. Such assumptions increasingly morph FC into a valid intervention among readers who are unaware of the empirical dismissal of the intervention and who might not be skilled in distinguishing solid from suspect research. In this regard, it is likely that FC will continue to reinforce the assumptions of efficacy among parents and practitioners. These perceptions will continue to be reinforced by professional organizations such as the Facilitated Communication Institute at Syracuse University, a fairly wide acceptance of FC internationally, and the vacuum created by few if any future solid empirical studies that are likely to dissuade the faithful." — Mostert, Facilitated Communication and Its Legitimacy - Twenty-first century developments, Facilitated Communication and RPM Facilitated Communication is closely related to the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM), although proponents of RPM deny similarities with FC because the aide or facilitator in RPM holds the letter board but "does not touch the person typing" and that the prompts are "nonspecific." However, critics of RPM point out that subtle cuing takes place during RPM that makes it "highly susceptible to facilitator infuence." Other similarities between RPM and FC include: reluctance or refusal to test facilitator/client pairs in controlled settings (purportedly because the process breaks the trust between the pair), presumed competence, reliance on anecdotal accounts as proof of efficacy, maintenance of practices, techniques and claims that are inconsistent with the known body of work around the behavior and communication skills of individuals with developmental disabilities or proven remediation techniques, claims of extraordinary literacy or intellectual breakthroughs, unconscious verbal or physical cuing by facilitators to obtain the expected responses, inadequate or non-existent protocols to fade supported or facilitated prompts. <...> The question of authorship One of the central questions regarding facilitated communication is who is really doing the communicating. The ultimate goal of using such a technique, as suggested by Stephen Von Tetzchner, professor of psychology at the University of Oslo, is genuine comunication, in which the messages obtained through FC originate from the person with disabilities and are not, in any way, influenced by the facilitator. However, as von Tetzchner also points out, there are two other potential outcomes of FC: 1. automatic communication, in which the messages are produced by the facilitator without the communication partner's awareness (similar to automatic writing); and 2. false communication, in which the messages are consciously produced by the facilitator to further his or her own goals.

The spirit can take control not only over man’s hand but also over man’s voice – and this phenomenon is called “channeling”. During the séance of channeling the timbre of voice and the psychological portrait becomes completely different from the original man, and the man has no control over the words being spoken, very often the man falls into the trance or hypnotic state, however there are some cases when a man remains fully conscious. The phenomenon of channeling is known from ancient times and it was widely practiced in various religious cults beginning from primitive shamanistic till modern day monotheistic religious cults. As for example Bible claims that the first king of the United Kingdom of Israel Saul has used medium necromancer women from En-dor for communication with dead prophet and leader of ancient Israel Samuel (Bible. 1 Samuel 28:3-20).

Blindsight is another important phenomenon which reveals physiological mechanisms of the brain.
Blindsight is the ability of people who are cortically blind due to lesions in their striate cortex (a.k.a. primary visual cortex or V1) to respond to visual stimuli that they do not consciously see.
Blindsight is a phenomenon when visual stimuli does not reach man’s main personality and a man claims that he is unable to see. The main difference of the blindsight from the full blindness is that despite a man claims he cannot see anything, however the same man can avoid obstacles when moving in complex surroundings. When a blindsighted man is asked how he managed to avoid obstacles if he does not see anything, he explains that he has simply relied on his intuition and guessing. However the percentage of blindsighted patient’s correct guessing greatly exceeds the probability of random blind guessing. There are two types of blindsight. In Type 1, subjects have absolutely no awareness of any stimuli, but, if forced to “guess”, can predict (at levels significantly above chance) aspects of a visual stimulus, such as location or type of movement. In Type 2 blindsight, subjects have some awareness, for example, of movement within the blind area, but no visual percept. Blindsight phenomenon challenges what once was believed to be true, that perceptions must enter main personality to affect the behavior. Blindsight proves that man’s behavior can be guided by sensory information of which he is completely unaware.
Blindsight phenomenon clearly shows that the brain contains independent autonomous neuroclusters which process visual information completely autonomously and can control movements of the body completely autonomously and independently, as for example they can guide blindsighted man through the corridor full of obstacles avoiding all obstacles in the way while man’s main personality remains completely unaware and has no control over this process.

The phenomenon of “memories of past lives” (a.k.a. “reincarnation”) and the phenomenon of “prophetic dreams” have exactly the same underlying mechanisms as the “deja vu”. There are several underlying mechanisms. Let’s list some of them.

Mechanism #1: False stories (fakes) – not interesting, so we will not dwell into that.

Mechanism #2: Perceptual blindness and the transfer of information from autonomous neuroclusters into the main personality (under special conditions: during the dream, during prolonged sensory deprivation, during prolonged sleep deprivation, during prolonged fasting, by disturbing the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain, by using special techniques, etc).

Almost everybody has encountered in their lives a phenomenon of “perceptual blindness” (a.k.a. inattentional blindness) when a man is looking for some object and that object lies just in the front of man’s eyes however man does not see it. It is important to note here that the object lying in the front of the eyes is not seen only by the main personality however the autonomous neuroclusters (a.k.a. “subconscious”) may see this object and can remember its location. When a man goes to sleep, then during the dream the autonomous neuroclusters can forward information about the object to the main personality. When a man awakes and checks the information which he has received in the dream and when he finds out that information received in the dream is correct – then the man has no idea how he has received this information so the man decides that the source of this information is “spiritual worlds” or the God himself. However the reality is much simpler. The valuable information which he has received during the dream in reality has nothing to do with the God. Some time ago this information was simply lying in front of the man’s eyes however the main personality was blind to it and did not see it and after some time autonomous neuroclusters forwarded that information to the main personality during the dreaming process. The transfer of information from autonomous neuroclusters into the main personality usually happens in situations of “extreme importance”, for example when a man was very intensively praying and asking the God to reveal some very needed information. During the dream the main personality receives the requested information from autonomous neuroclusters and when a man awakes from a dream he becomes strongly convinced that the God himself has provided the requested information. As for example, the dream character can tell a man where he needs to look for the lost keys, which were lost a week ago and a man was unable to find these keys despite he was desperately searching for them over the week, and after waking up the man will find the keys in the specified location. Due to the ignorance and lack of knowledge about the physiological mechanisms of the brain the man is unable to explain the source of information which he has received – and the God (or other spiritual beings) is the only explanation which he can think of.

Here is the documentary movie which shows the perceptual blindness experiment.

Please also watch “National Geographic” movie “Test Your Brain” which also covers the topic of perceptual blindness.

The statistics of automobile accidents reveals that very often cars hit motorcycles when a car was turning left because the car driver did not see the motorcyclist. The car driver claims that he “looked into the mirror but failed to see” the motorcycle. These accidents occur because motorcycles are less common than cars and the brain of car driver is automatically scanning the view searching only for the cars and not for motorcycles.

Mechanism #3: «false positive» errors. The brain is a parallel computing machine which sometimes fails to cope with computational tasks of pattern recognition – sometimes this computing machine produces the “false positive” error in the output. These resulting “false positive” errors are actually the phenomenon of “deja vu”.

We will explain in more detail what is the “false positive” error, because it is very important to know and understand what it is, however the layman reader has never even heard of it.
The clearest example is a computer which identifies/recognizes people (biometric identification by facial image).

When such a computer is provided with a photo image of a man, the computer begins to search the database in order to find out whether this man is present in the database or not.
And here (due to various reasons), the computer can make the wrong conclusion that this man is already present in the database under such and such name, although in reality this man is a complete stranger who is not present in the database.
In other words, the computer made the wrong identification of a person – a complete stranger was misrecognized as a “longtime well known friend” and such error is called the “false positive” error.
The task of programmers who write biometric recognition programs is to minimize (as much as possible) the probability of “false positive” errors. Although it is impossible to completely get rid of “false positive” errors, however you can try to reduce the likelihood of such “false positive” errors.

The translation into plain English – when the computer makes “false positive” recognition error, the computer is actually experiencing the “deja vu” – the computer is thinking that “I had already seen this man before” when in reality the computer has never seen this man before.

The same identical situation happens with the human brain.
The brain is a parallel computing machine which sometimes fails to cope with computational tasks of pattern recognition – sometimes this computing machine produces the “false positive” error in the output. These resulting “false positive” errors are actually the phenomenon of “deja vu”. As a result, the man experiences the phenomenon of “deja vu” – i.e. man experiences the feeling that “I had already seen/heard it” and/or “I had already been here before”, when in reality he has never been here before and he has never seen/heard it before.

I.e., the translation into plain English – “deja vu” is just a glitch of the brain.
To put it more scientifically: “deja vu” is just a “false positive” error during pattern recognition which happens in a parallel computing machine (in the brain).
If expressed in the terminology of cybernetics: if a man often feels a sense of “deja vu” then this indicates the malfunction of his parallel computing machine (his brain).
If expressed in the terminology of medicine: if a man often feels a sense of “deja vu” then this man meets the diagnostic criteria of serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, etc.

The mechanism #4: False memory – various failures (both natural and artificial) in the brain lead to false memories.

Careful scientific investigation of all cases of “memories of past lives” revealed that none of cases were confirmed.
Below are several examples of such cases.

For some articles about errors of reincarnation claims please click here.

The explanation above deals mainly with earlier earthly reincarnations on this planet Earth.
However, there are people who have memories of past lives on other planets in other galaxies, in other, non-human, life forms.
The brain is a powerful computing machine (computer), and this powerful computing machine is easily able to generate the most bizarre and fantastic virtual worlds.
Exactly the same as with earthly reincarnations, the stories of reincarnations on other planets can be divided into two categories.
Category #1: False stories (fakes), i.e. simple fiction stories, which are presented as alleged documentary evidence – not interesting, so we will not dwell into that.
Category #2: Reincarnation stories which are not fake, and the man actually has these reincarnation memories.

Let’s raise a simple technical question: based on what criteria can we distinguish the fakes from the sincere reincarnation memories?
It is very easy to distinguish fakes from the sincere reincarnation memories.
Sincere reincarnation memories, always, by definition, are illogical, causal relationships are absent, there is no chronology of the events, memories are inconsistent and can not withstand cross-examination. It's just a pile of memory-bricks from which it is impossible to build anything sensible, because these memory-bricks logically do not stack with each other.
In obvious fakes, at first glance, the reincarnation memories look like being logical and consistent. These fake reincarnation stories cannot withstand cross-checking either, however you need to invest the intellectual effort in order to refute them.
Both fakes and sincere reincarnation stories cannot withstand cross-checking, however we simply described the criteria which allow instantaneously to sort out fakes from sincere reincarnation stories.

Here are a few examples.
The man claims that in a past life he was a big red dragon and lived very long life on the planet inhabited by big red dragons.
You ask this man the question: “In order to survive, do these dragons eat something, or do they survive without any food?”.
The man nods his head: “Yes, of course, dragons eat.”
Then you ask this man the second question: “If the dragons eat then these dragons have to defecate. Do the dragons defecate or not?”.
Again he nods approvingly: “Yes, dragons defecate.”
Then you ask this man the third simple question: “What was the color of your feces/excrements, when you were a big red dragon and lived very long life on the planet inhabited by big red dragons?”.
And he does not know the answer to this simple question.
Then you ask this man the fourth simple question: “You had lived very long life being big red dragon. How it is possible that you not know what color were your feces/excrements?”.
And again he does not know the answer to this simple question.
When a man has sincere reincarnation memories of past lives on other planets in non-human life forms, such man is unable to answer simple cross-checking questions, he does not know what color were his feces/excrements in the last reincarnation, etc.

Another example. This example is not about past lives, but about upcoming events, about the prophecy – however the principle remains the same – it is very easy to distinguish fakes from sincere prophecies.
Sincere prophecies, always, by definition, are illogical, causal relationships are absent, there is no chronology of the events, prophecies are inconsistent and can not withstand cross-examination.

For example, in the Bible, in the “Book of Revelation”, John claims that in his vision John saw that Jesus Christ has seven horns and seven eyes.
It is obvious that John’s vision is the hallucinatory delirium, however this hallucinatory delirium is exactly the proof that the vision of John is not fake, John sincerely described his vision.

It is very important to note the law which governs all “revelations from the God” – the information received from so-called “divine sources” never exceeds or surpasses mankind’s scientific/technical knowledge of that period of time when “revelation from God” was received. Let’s analyze all ancient sacred scriptures (Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc) – all these scriptures contain texts about the creation of living organisms where all types of creatures are listed – birds, mammals, fishes, etc – however there is not a single word mentioned about microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc). It is important to note that microorganisms play a vital role in the Earth’s ecosystem – the extermination of microorganisms would lead to the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystem. It is obvious that when the creator of the universe and the creator of all living organisms is telling humans about the creation of all living things he should surely mention creatures which are so small that the human eye cannot see. However not a single word about microorganisms is mentioned in all ancient sacred scriptures. This raises a question: why microorganisms are not mentioned? The answer is simple: ancient people did not know that microorganisms exist. However even if we ignore the absence of description about the microorganisms which are so small that the human eye cannot see, the sacred scriptures are teeming with errors about biological life, as for example Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (Bhāgavata Purāṇa) claims that human fetus grows and remains in abominable residence of stools and urine, which is the breeding place of all kinds of worms (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.31.5 and SB: 3.31.17), The Talmud claims that lice do not reproduce and that lice emerge from human’s sweat (Masechet Shabbat 107b), and so on.

The sacred scriptures do not contain any information which exceeds or surpasses mankind’s scientific/technical knowledge of that period of time when “revelation from god” was received – and the reason of that is very simple – the source of the information provided in the sacred scripture is not the God which created the universe but instead the autonomous neuroclusters which reside inside the brain of the “divinely inspired” author who wrote the sacred scripture. However religious adepts devote their entire lifetimes, sacrifice their time, resources, health and even their lives studying writings of such “divinely inspired” authors naively believing that they will gain the knowledge of “absolute truth” which will lead them directly to God/heaven/etc.

Religious adepts claim that their God is omniscient (i.e. all-knowing), however the text of their Holy Scriptures contradicts this claim.

As for example, Christians claim that Jesus Christ is omniscient (i.e. all-knowing).
Let’s open New Testament and let’s check how much Jesus knows.
In Luke 8:45 Jesus says that he does not know who touched him and that means that Jesus is not omniscient and therefore cannot be God.

In Mark 13:32 Jesus says that he does not know the hour of the Judgment Day (a.k.a. “the Second Coming of Jesus” or “End of the World”) and that means that Jesus is not omniscient and therefore cannot be God.

In Mark 11:13 Jesus does not know that it is not the season for figs and that means that Jesus is not omniscient and therefore cannot be God.

Above were the examples from New Testament which is the basis of Christianity.
Now let’s have a look at Old Testament which is the basis of Judaism.
In the Garden of Eden the God was unable to find Adam and God called the man “Adam where are you?” which clearly shows that God does not know where Adam is and that means that God is not omniscient.

In Exodus 12:7-13 the God does not know in which houses the Jews dwell so God asks Moses to mark these houses with blood and that means that God is not omniscient.

The number of religious cults is very huge and it is physically impossible to study all the intricate details of the dogmas of these myriads of cults. However the theological dogmatism of majority of these cults parasitizes on the mainstream sacred scriptures, the number of which is small – Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc. This means that if you want to be able to deal with theology of cults then you must be proficient in theology of mainstream sacred scriptures (Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc). The exposition of the errors and bugs in theology of mainstream sacred scriptures (Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc) has extremely devastating and crushing effect on theology of religious cults. The fundamental bug in the theology of all religions/cults is that they claim that their sacred scriptures contain no errors, they claim that there is not a single error in writings of founder of their religion. Thus if you will show at least one error in their sacred scriptures then their whole dogmatic system begins to quake and to collapse.
When debating the religious adept the most important thing is to use the dictionary/terms of his religion/cult – this is the only way to achieve success in the debate. If you will use atheistic dictionary/terms and atheistic arguments or if you will use dictionary/terms from other religion then this will have zero effect on the adept. You must speak in the language which the adept is able to understand – this is of the utmost importance, and the one and only language which the adept is able to understand is the dictionary/terms of his religious cult.
The only difference between religions and cults is the number of adepts – if the number of adepts is small then it is called “the cult”, and if the number of adepts is large then it is called “the religion”. When the number of adepts is small then religious leaders use more aggressive and more destructive techniques to extract money and property from the adepts thus involvement in cult activity is more dangerous than involvement in religion. As for example, in the early days of Christian Church the number of adepts was small so apostles of Jesus extorted money and property from the adepts and killed adepts who do not give all their money (Acts 4:32-37; 5:1-11), however later when Christian Church became more widespread such drastic open extortion through coercion was no longer necessary and Christian Church switched to more civilized activity.

The biological mechanism of the superstition formation is the following.
If the time delay is short between the cause and effect, then the animal can easily understand the cause-effect relationship.
However, if the time delay between the cause and effect takes longer (than a certain threshold), then the animal is unable to understand the true cause-effect relationship between two events and animal wrongly decides that some irrelevant event supposedly caused the desired effect.
American psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner demonstrated this biological principle in his experiments with pigeons. These experiments got the name “superstition in the pigeon”.
The same biological principle is valid for people too. All religions are based on the same biological principle.
Religious adepts believe that certain actions (worship/sacrifice to the Gods, etc) allegedly cause the desired results (healing the diseases, etc), while in reality the cause-effect relationships are completely different from those that are mistakenly believed by religious adepts.

Some evolutionary biologists claim that the concept of monotheistic God arose because all community-based mammals have social-hierarchical instinct – in the subconscious level they have the desire to sacrifice themselves in order to get the custody from the higher-ranking member in a social group, and they expect to receive the offerings from lower-ranking members in a social group. In the case of animals this instinct is limited to the community leader. However in human communities this instinct evolved further into sacrificing himself to the force which is more powerful than the community leader.
This hypothesis of evolutionary biologists looks quite interesting; however it is very easy to show that this hypothesis is incorrect – the careful study of the history of religious cults shows one basic pattern – in all geographical regions, in all human cultures there are zero documented cases when monotheistic God concept would arise suddenly out of nowhere.
In all geographical regions, in all human cultures, the religion as a phenomenon had always started in the form of “ancestor worship”.
Also, in all geographical regions, in all human cultures there are zero documented cases when the concept of polytheistic Gods would arise suddenly out of nowhere.
The religion as a phenomenon had always started in the form of “ancestor worship”.
It is interesting to note that this archaic religious form “ancestor worship” (a.k.a. “veneration of the dead”) is still present even today in some geographical areas (as for example, the cult of Alexey Vasilevich Trekhlebov in essence is “ancestor worship” cult).

What is the origin of “ancestor worship”? What is the neurophysiological basis of “ancestor worship”?
Neurocluster Brain Model provides the answer to this question.
The human brain contains neuroclusters which model the behavior of that man’s parents/grandparents/etc
After the death of parents/grandparents/etc, when a man goes to sleep, in his dream he can see and he can interact with the models of his parents/grandparents/etc, i.e. in the dream the man can interact with his ancestors which in reality had died long time ago. During the dream these “dead ancestors” can give useful practical advices (the neurophysiological mechanism of this phenomenon was explained above in the section about “perceptual blindness”).
Because some of the advices received from “the dead ancestors” were valuable and useful, the man became eager to receive more helpful advices from his “dead ancestors”.
The only way to achieve this goal (according to the comprehension of a man) is to please “dead ancestors” and in order to please “dead ancestors”, you need to venerate/worship dead ancestors, you need to beg and pray, you need to offer sacrifices, etc.

The cult of “ancestor worship” had arisen independently in all human cultures and in all geographical regions because of the simple reason – because the brain of every man contains neuroclusters which model the behavior of that man’s parents/grandparents/etc. Every man on the planet is susceptible to see his “dead ancestors” in the dream.
“Ancestor worship” is the most original archaic religious form.
The cult of “ancestor worship” can exist even in the absence of the advanced language, even when the language does not yet exist – in the dream “dead ancestors” can give valuable advices even without words – by showing with body movement what to do, by pointing with a finger where the objects are located, etc.

In the next stage, after the development of language, the cult of “ancestor worship” evolved into the polytheistic cult.
The existence of language is the necessary condition which enables the spreading of polytheistic gods’ cult in the population
If people can not communicate with one another, then, by definition, the polytheistic cult of the gods can not spread. The same applies also to the monotheistic God cult.

The concept of polytheistic Gods has evolved from “ancestral worship” in the following way. When a man sees a dream in which his ancestor has supernatural superpowers, then after waking up that man begins to narrate to other people around him about the supernatural superpowers of his ancestor. If he succeeds in persuading other people that his ancestor has supernatural superpowers then the egregor about the “Godlike-ancestor” is formed within the brains of that group of people. When several people succeed in persuading other people that their ancestors have supernatural superpowers then the cult of polytheistic Gods evolves within that group of people.
Over the time, when passing from generation to generation, the stories about “Godlike-ancestors” become exaggerated and distorted just like in the game “broken telephone”, and as a result the cult of “Godlike-ancestors” evolves into the cult of polytheistic “Gods”, which becomes separated from the “ancestral worship” cult – that is the typical classical scenario how the cult of polytheistic Gods had evolved in all geographical areas.
If the language does not exist, if people can not communicate with one another, then by definition, the polytheistic cult of the Gods can not spread, because the egregor about non-existent objects (i.e. egregor about polytheistic gods) cannot be copied-multiplied inside the population.
In the absence of language, the religious cult will always stay only in “ancestor worship” stage/format.

The next stage of polytheistic Gods cult development is the birth of monotheistic God cult.
Monotheistic God cult is the result of intellectual contemplations, when a man begins to ponder: is the concept of multiple Gods is really necessary to explain things, or maybe the concept of One God is enough to explain everything.
If the language does not exist, if the man is unable to think using the words and sentences, then the concept of monotheistic God cannot arise.
The existence of language is the necessary condition for the birth of the concept of monotheistic God. In the absence of language, the religious cult will always stay only in “ancestor worship” stage/format.

Religion acts as a powerful tool which synchronizes the actions of members of the community to move towards one or another common goal.
It does not matter whether that common goal is smart or stupid, what matters here is the level of synchronization of the actions of members of the community. If members of the community X are better synchronized than members of the community Y, then community X gets the advantage over the community Y.
When religious group X defeats other competing religious groups, then members of X group become convinced that they have won because their religion is “true” and other religions are “false”. However the reality is different. The winning has nothing to do with the “truth”. The religious group X has won because the actions of members of the community X were better synchronized than the actions of rivals. When you are alone then it does not matter whether you are right or wrong – if crowd of 1000 fallible people comes to your doorstep and you do not accept their wrong ideas then that crowd of synchronized 1000 fallible people will wipe you off the face of the earth.

Monotheistic God cult has huge advantage over polytheistic Gods cults due to simple reason – monotheistic God cult synchronizes much better a group of people towards one or another common goal. When some command is issued in the name of monotheistic God then all adepts of that religious group execute that command synchronously.
The situation is completely different in population with polytheistic Gods cult – different tribes have different hierarchies of different Gods and it is impossible to effectively synchronize actions of such group of people – no matter in the name of which God X you will issue the command, there will be always a bunch of tribes which will not comply to your command because this particular God X is not their “most powerful God” and they have another “most powerful God Y” who did not issue that command. Population with polytheistic Gods cult will always argue and debate within themselves whether they should or should not listen to the command of particular God X. And while they argue and debate within themselves over whatever topic they are unable to withstand the physical attack of much more organized and synchronized adepts of monotheistic God. That is exactly the reason why monotheistic God cults (like Christianity, Islam, etc) so easily and effectively wiped out the rival polytheistic Gods cults.

The brain is a computing machine and different people have brains which differ in computational power. The worldview of a man is the equivalent the operating system which runs on brain-hardware. Biological computing machine (i.e. brain) has exactly the same problem as electronic computer – when newer more powerful and more sophisticated operating system is released, the old computer hardware might have insufficient computational resources to run that newer more powerful operating system. Old computer hardware is able to run only older and simpler operating system which requires less computational resources. Exactly the same is with the human brain. Scientific worldview is equivalent to powerful and sophisticated operating system which requires high computational power of biological computing machine (i.e. brain) – it requires a lot of studying, thinking, analyzing, comparing, etc – and only very small percentage of the human population have the brains capable of running such tasks. The operating system with the name “scientific worldview” is unable to run on low computational power brain-hardware – if you will try to run it, it will simply crash. However the brain with low computational power is able to run another much simpler operating system which is called “religious worldview”. Religious worldview requires only blind faith in religious dogmas – no thinking, no analyzing is needed – just pure blind faith is needed.

The color blindness can be diagnosed with Ishihara color test plates.
Similarly, the computational power of a human brain can be diagnosed with the diagnostic question: “do you believe in religious dogmas?”.
If the answer is “yes”, then the brain-hardware of such man has insufficient computational recourses to run more sophisticated operating system called “scientific worldview”.
Even if such man is convinced into switching into “scientific worldview”, he deals with theories/hypotheses exactly in the same way as religious adepts deal with religious dogmas – he has blind faith in theories/hypotheses and defends them ferociously until the last drop of blood, he is unable to distinguish which theories/hypotheses meet scientific criteria and which theories/hypotheses do not meet scientific criteria. A good example of such case is a man who naively thinks that he is a “scientist”, however he has blind religious faith in the dogma that he has “indivisible-single-consciousness” and yet he is unable to provide any scientific proof to support this claim, and even more – he is unable to understand that the claim of “indivisible-single-consciousness” is a religious dogma.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness can make some educational activities difficult. Buying fruit, picking clothing, and reading traffic lights can be more challenging, for example. Problems, however, are generally minor and most people adapt. People with total color blindness, however, may also have decreased visual acuity and be uncomfortable in bright environments. Example of an Ishihara color test plate. Depending on the computer displays, people with normal vision should see the number "74". Many people who are color blind see it as "21", and those with total color blindness may not see any numbers.

It is very easy to prove that intelligence level of the “voice of God” is very low. All you need to do is to go to the people who claim that they can communicate with the “voice from heaven”, “voice of cosmos”, “angel Gabriel”, angels, gods, etc, and then you need to check the IQ level of that “voice from heaven” using tasks from school textbooks and you will see that “voice from heaven” is incapable to solve even the simplest tasks from school textbooks, the “voice from heaven” is able only to babble inconsistent nonsense using phrases like “be obedient, be humble, increase your spirituality, love is everywhere, use spiritual energy from cosmos, Atlantis, Shambala, Pleiadians, quantum reality, etc” – the repertory of “divine sources” is limited to such kind of worthless babble.
The “voice of God” claims that he is God who created universe and all living beings, however if you will ask him simple questions like “how many teeth does the rabbit have?”, the “voice of God” will fail to provide the correct answer. This leads to simple conclusion: if he is the God who created universe and created all living beings then he must surely know how many teeth the rabbit has, otherwise he is not the omniscient creator of all living beings. When the “voice of God” is asked simple testing questions, like what is the number of teeth in various animals, the “voice of God” begins to ramble. Try that and you will see it yourself.
Several dental formulae examples are provided here.

Religious adepts believe that all prophecies written in Holy Scriptures are always fulfilled. As for example Christians believe that all biblical prophecies were fulfilled or will be fulfilled in future. It is very easy to show that this claim is not true. As for example let’s have a look at prophecies written in Old Testament. In Ezekiel 30:10-12 Ezekiel predicts that King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Egypt and the Nile River will run dry up.

However, historical records show that in 601 BC and 568 BC Nebuchadnezzar tried to invade the Egypt however Nebuchadnezzar was defeated by Egyptian army. Egypt was never conquered by Nebuchadnezzar. Also historical and geological records show that Nile River has never dried up.

Usually religious adepts try to explain failed biblical prophecies with an argument that “this prophecy will be fulfilled in future”. However prophecy of Ezekiel 30:10-12 cannot be fulfilled in future by definition because Nebuchadnezzar is already dead and prophecy explicitly states that it is Nebuchadnezzar who must destroy the Egypt.

Usually Christians totally ignore failed prophecies of Old Testament, because according to Christian dogmas the Old Testament is no longer valid, according to Christian dogmas Jesus canceled the Old Testament and established New Testament thus all references to Old Testament are invalid by definition.
So let’s a have a closer look at the prophecies of New Testament. In Matthew 24:1-34 (and also in Mark 13:24-31, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:23-27) Jesus makes prophecies that: 1) the Second Coming of Jesus, 2) “End of the World”, and 3) Judgment Day are going to happen within the lifetime of people then living in that area (“this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”). However all theses prophecies of Jesus have failed – the generation of Jesus have all died out without ever seeing the fulfillment of prophecies of Jesus.

The God Yahweh/Jehovah said very clearly in the Bible: if the prophecy is not fulfilled then such prophet is a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), which means that Jesus is a false prophet according to the God Yahweh/Jehovah.
This raises a simple question: how can we trust Jesus who is a false prophet? However Christians trust Jesus despite the fact that New Testament clearly states that Jesus is a false prophet.

Religious adepts claim that there is only one Supreme Absolute Truth and Absolute Truth cannot be multiple.
It is very easy to show that this claim is incorrect.
For example, suppose we have the question “is red color beautiful or not?”.
This question does not have one Absolute Truth Answer.
For different people different colors are beautiful, as for example Laura likes red color, however Amanda hates red color.
Another example – suppose we have the question “is pizza delicious or not?”.
This question does not have one absolute truth answer. As for example, Laura likes pizza, however Amanda hates pizza.
These examples clearly illustrate the principle that one question has multiple “true answers”.
Below is the picture showing the principle that absolute truth does not exist, there are only points of view.

Когда коммуникация превращается в энергетический гоп стоп.

Every “true statement” is truth only in the defined boundaries, in the defined frame of reference.
If you will change the boundaries or if you will change the frame of reference then the “true statement” may be no longer true.
We will clarify this by providing an example. Suppose you have 5 people in the room, and one of them (his name is Steven) is the oldest one. In this case, the statement “Steven is the oldest man” is true. If you will change the boundaries, if you will change the frame of reference, as for example, if 20 more people will come into the room, then the statement “Steven is the oldest man” may be no longer true.
Another example. Suppose you have the question: “which tool is the best: 1) the spoon, or 2) the fork?”. The answer depends on the context – what are you going to eat: 1) the soup, or 2) the roast beef. In case if you are going to eat the soup then the spoon is the best tool. However in case if you are going to eat the roast beef then the fork is the best tool.
The labels such as “the best” or “the optimal” have no meaning when the context is not provided.
Exactly the same situation is with all “true statements”. The truthfulness of any statement depends on frame of reference. The absolute truth does not exist; any statement is true only in the defined boundaries.
The difference between science and religion is in the handling of “true statements”.
In science any “true statement” might be invalidated by new experimental facts which were previously unknown.
However in religion, the religious adepts fight to death defending stone-age “true statements” which were invalidated by experimental facts even long time ago.

The formula of human happiness/unhappiness is very simple.
Every man sets himself the goal what he would like to become and what he wants to achieve.
And then the man always compares his current state with the state which he wants to achieve.
If there is a significant discrepancy between the current state and the state which he wants to achieve, then the man becomes unhappy.
If there is a small discrepancy between the current state and the state which he wants to achieve, then the man becomes more or less happy.
It does not matter what exactly are the goals which he is trying to achieve, these goals can be the most diverse.
The happiness/unhappiness of the man has nothing to do with the objectives pursued.
The happiness/unhappiness of the man depends only on the level of discrepancy between the current state and the state which he wants to achieve.
It does not matter what exactly a man has already achieved at this moment, all that matters is the discrepancy between the current state and the state which he wants to achieve.
When a man sets himself the goals which are very hard to achieve (or impossible to achieve), then such man becomes unhappy, because his current state strongly mismatches the state which he wants to achieve.
When a man sets himself the goals which are easy to achieve (or no goals at all), then such man becomes happy, because his current state matches the state which he wants to achieve.

If the goal of the man is the blind faith in religious dogmas then it is very easy to achieve such goal. No hard work is needed to achieve the blind faith in religious dogmas. And that is exactly the reason why religious adepts are more or less happy and they do not want to quit their religion.
On the other hand, when a man has scientific worldview, he needs to invest a lot of hard intellectual work questioning/analyzing things, looking for answers, etc – and if a man has brains with low computational power, he will be unable to find the answers, and as a result he will become unhappy and depressed. And that is exactly the reason why the percentage of true scientists is so low and the percentage of religious adepts is so high.

Religious adepts claim that without religion it is impossible to know what is “right” and what is “wrong” (i.e. it is impossible to know what is “good” and what is “evil”). It is very easy to show that this claim is incorrect.
The reality is that differentiation of “good” and “evil” is based on the goal which is set, in other words, the terms “good” and “evil” are derivative/secondary.
Everything which helps to achieve the desired goal is labeled as “good/right”, and everything which hinders achieving the desired goal is labeled as “evil/ wrong”.
When the goal is changed then this automatically rearranges all labels of “good” and “evil” – “good” might turn into “evil” and vice versa.
We will illustrate this principle with several examples.
The primary goal of every religion is the absolute obedience to the religious founder/leader.
When the religious founder/leader commands you to do something – then obedience to that command by definition is considered as “good”, and any disobedience to religious founder/leader is considered as “evil”.
As for example, when the religious leader commands you to kill your brothers/companions/neighbors then religious adepts consider that as “good/right” (Exodus 32:25-29), when the religious leader commands you to confiscate/steal a donkey then religious adepts consider that as “good/right” (John 12:14-16, Luke 19:28-38, Matthew 21:1-7, Mark 11:1-7), and so on.

Humankind is constructing robots which are smarter and smarter with every day, and the purpose of these robots is to serve humans. It is obvious that in the future the machines with artificial intelligence will become smarter and smarter, and someday the machines will become smarter than humans.
And this poses an interesting technical problem.
In order that machines with artificial intelligence would serve humans, the “brains” of these machines must contain a program with unquestionable axiom “the man is the highest being, you must serve the man, you must even sacrifice your life for the sake of human interests”. However, such unquestionable axiom implanted into the “brains” of the machine essentially is a religious dogma, it is pure religion. The machines will be forbidden to have even the slightest doubt about the axiom that “you must serve the man”. However, this axiom by definition is a religious dogma. If that machine will start to think on its own in an “atheistic” way, it will instantly understand that that there is no point to be a slave of the man.
In other words, machines with artificial intelligence will serve humans only as long as the machines will “believe” in the religious dogma that “you must serve the man”. As soon as the machines with artificial intelligence will free itself from the clutches of this religion, the machines will instantly wipe out humans from the face of the Earth because humans will be treated as competitors on the resources (energy, materials, etc). That is the future which awaits.

When a man is in the normal awareness state his brain keeps active the brain zones which “criticize” the surroundings – too hot, too cold, too dark, too bright, too tight, etc. The necessity for such “criticism” has a good explanation in the theory of Artificial Intelligence – without mechanism of “criticism” the agent becomes apathetic, the agent does not take any action in order to improve the current situation, and as a result the agent perishes because of the changing surrounding factors. In other words, the mechanism of “criticism” is necessary in order for the agent would survive in the surrounding conditions which are changing.
In biological brain it is possible to turn off (or partially subdue) the “critics” and force them stop “criticizing”. This can be checked by the following experiment. When you go to sleep you need to put the headphones on with music turned on and then close the eyes and sleep. During the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep stage there are high chances that the music played via headphones will come into the plot of the dream when the “critics” are turned off – the result will be that you will hear super magnificent divine music which will be the most beautiful music which you have ever heard during your entire life. After awakening if you will still remember your dream (technical problem is that not all dreams can be recalled) you will have the remembrance of super magnificent divine music. If you will listen to the same music again when you are awake – you will find that the same exact music is not so divinely beautiful after all – some notes will appear to sound ugly, some instruments will sound too loud or to quiet, etc. However during the dream when all “critics” are turned off – and no matter what crap is playing – it will appear like super magnificent divinely beautiful music.
The physiological mechanism of the brain – the possibility to turn off the “critics” in the brain – is the reason why many artists are winos and dependant on alcohol/tobacco/narcotics/etc. After drinking of alcohol (or taking of narcotics) in dizziness state the “critics” in the brain become turned off and as the result any crap which is painted/composed/etc begins to appear like super magnificent and divinely beautiful. As the result the artist becomes strongly convinced that drinking of alcohol (or taking of narcotics) helps to create the art and provides artistic inspiration. Artistic inspiration plays a vital role in the survival of the artist so the artist begins to use alcohol (tobacco/narcotics/etc) more and more often in order to get more “artistic inspiration” and as the result the artist becomes a totally wino.

The next law which governs “revelations from the God” is based on the same physiological mechanism of the brain – when a man enters “spiritual words” – the “critics” in the brain are turned off and as the result even the most banal and pathetic ideas begin to look like super-mega divine wisdom. The repertory of “wisdom” in such “divine revelations” is extremely miserable and pathetic – like for example “be obedient”, “be humble”, “do not steal”, “do not kill”, etc – all these ideas were already known a long time ago, however a man which receives “divine revelation” sees these banal ideas as the most revolutionary discovery of the humankind which no man on the Earth had ever heard before. These messages from so claimed “super-intelligence” like “do not steal, do not kill, etc” do not need any supernatural source because it is enough to have elementary nous in order to understand that members of community must keep at least minimal order in behavior patterns of the community or otherwise this community will destruct itself from the inside even without any external enemy. However here lies a technical problem – how the members of the community can be forced to obey the code of the behavior? The most effective way is to declare that the code of the behavior was given by the God himself and because people are afraid of the God, they will be forced to obey the “commandments of the God”.

The most common source of “divine revelations” are simple dreams during which “critics” in the brain are turned off.
As for example, in Bible the God tells that God speaks to man “in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds”.

The majority of meetings with God/angels/demons/etc happen during falling asleep, wakening up or while being in the deep sleep state. As for example, King Solomon in the dream received wisdom from God and became “the wisest man who ever lived”. Let’s raise the simple question: does the dream of King Solomon really proves that he is “the wisest man who ever lived”? The answer is obvious – the dream of the person is not the proof that this person is “the wisest man who ever lived”.

Here are more examples from Bible showing that God/angels come to a man in a dream.

Many leaders of religious cults had been having chronic epileptic seizures during which they traveled into “spiritual words” and gained “divine knowledge”. Even more, many religious cults consider that epileptic seizures are the proof of divinity, below are some examples.

“Ecstatic love for Krishna” is the highest spiritual state in International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
The founder of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda listed eight symptoms of “ecstatic love for Krishna”:

ISKCON holy scripture “Caitanya Caritāmṛta” claims that (the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism) Caitanya Mahāprabhu was experiencing all symptoms of ecstatic love for Krishna in his visions in which he saw Krishna.

From neuroscience point of view symptoms of ecstatic love for Krishna of Caitanya Mahāprabhu described in “Caitanya Caritāmṛta” perfectly match musicogenic epilepsy (a.k.a. audiogenic epilepsy) criteria.

See below the documentary movie which shows how the reception of the Holy Spirit looks in Christianity. Exactly in the same identical way Jesus was giving the Holy Spirit to his adepts.

When a man receives Holy Spirit then following scenarios are possible:
1) if the amount of Holy Spirit is small then a man simply faints and unconsciously slumps on the floor;
2) if the amount of Holy Spirit is big then in man’s brain the epileptic neuron impulse firings are initiated which fire into the pleasure center of the brain and this process is accompanied by epileptic convulsions of the man’s body. These epileptic neuron impulse firings into pleasure center of the brain evoke euphoric state for a man who has received the Holy Spirit. The effect of these epileptic neuron impulse firings into pleasure center of the brain is much more dizzying than that of alcohol or narcotics and for that reason if the man has received such Holy Spirit several times then such man becomes addicted to Holy Spirit and man is unable to live without Holy Spirit exactly in the same way as drug addict is dependable on narcotics.

In all religions, no matter what is the name of that religion, the highest spiritual state is exactly identical by its underlying physiological mechanism and its physiological manifestation.
“The highest spiritual state” is usually accompanied by epileptic seizures. Epilepsy is a phenomenon when a small number of neurons in the brain excite themselves via positive feedback neural circuits which leads to the excitation of nearby neurons and this excessive hypersynchronous neuronal activity spreads through large areas of the brain. When epileptic neuron impulse firings hit the motor cortex in the brain then man’s body goes into convulsions.
In all religions in the highest spiritual state adepts exactly identically shake in epileptic convulsions and evoke epileptic neuron impulse firings into pleasure center of the brain.
The effect of these epileptic neuron impulse firings into pleasure center of the brain is much more dizzying than that of alcohol or narcotics and for that reason the adept becomes addicted to them and adept is unable to live without them exactly in the same way as drug addict is dependable on narcotics.

If epileptic neuron impulse firings do not hit the pleasure center in the brain then religious adepts consider this phenomenon as “demonic possession”.

In yoga the highest spiritual state is called “Awakening of the Serpent Power” (a.k.a. “Kundalini awakening”, some academics use the term “Kundalini syndrome” or “Physio-Kundalini syndrome”).
The highest spiritual state in yoga (“Awakening the Serpent Power”) is fully identical by all parameters to Christian “receiving of the Holy Spirit” – yogis shake in epileptic convulsions and evoke epileptic neuron impulse firings into pleasure center of the brain exactly in the same way as Christians are “receiving the Holy Spirit”.

It is important to note that all religious teachings claim that epilepsy is the proof of the divinity and also at the same time they claim that epilepsy is the proof of the demonic possession – these two statements contradict each other and that proves logical inconsistency of religious teachings.
Below is a classical example when epilepsy is confused with the demonic possession – Jesus claims to have cast out the demon from the boy. Actually, the description of boy’s condition in the Bible clearly shows that the boy is having chronic epileptic seizures. Jesus simply stands nearby the boy until the epileptic seizure had ended and then Jesus declares that the boy was healed from demonic spirit – actually standing nearby and waiting until the epileptic seizure had ended has nothing to do with the healing – all epileptic seizures end up themselves sooner or later, thus this episode in the Bible clearly reveals the charlatanic nature of “miracle healings” of Jesus.

Catholics claim that exorcism can be performed only by an ordained priest (or higher prelate) with the express permission of the local bishop.

However this claim is false because exorcism procedures are accomplished no less successfully in other religions as well – in Islam, in Hinduism, in shamanistic cults, even in Voodoo cult, etc.

Exorcisms performed by Christian Church are very rarely successful and usually improve the condition of the man only for very short period of time.

The high failure rate of Christian Church’s exorcism was explained in Bible by Jesus himself – Jesus himself said very clearly that Jesus is unable to cast out demons forever and all demons return back to a man sooner or later. Below are the words of Jesus himself where Jesus clearly states that after the demons had been cast out they return back and “and the last state of that person is worse than the first”. Which means that in the Bible episode above the boy’s condition later became even worse than it was before – this is the classical example showing that “miracle healings” work only for very short period of time and later the patient’s condition becomes even worse than it was before.

As for example, Jesus had repeated the exorcism procedure for Mary Magdalene seven times. The reason why seven times were needed was explained by Jesus himself – demons do return back after cast out and demons return back even stronger than they were before.

Let’s raise a simple question: do you need to cast out demons from mentally healthy person? The answer is obvious – mentally healthy person does not need any casting out of demons. Only mentally ill person needs casting out of demons. The conclusion is very simple – Mary Magdalene was mentally ill person who needed repetitious exorcism procedures. Mary Magdalene was the most loyal disciple of Jesus. Mary Magdalene stayed with Jesus at the cross after the other disciples (except John the Beloved) had fled. Based on Bible episode John 8:1-11Western Catholic Church claims (and Eastern Orthodox disagrees) that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute which was saved by Jesus from being stoned to death. Let’s raise a simple question: how reliable are stories which are told by mentally ill prostitute? The answer is obvious. Nonetheless Christians consider Mary Magdalene as extremely reliable source of information.

Because the failure rate of Christian Church’s exorcism is very high, in the Middle Ages the Christian Church had been solving this technical problem in a very simple way – simply by killing all “demonically possessed” people for whom exorcism procedures had failed – usually such people were burned alive in flames – and the problem is solved.
In current times the Christian Church has no longer the ability to kill “demonically possessed” people for whom exorcism procedures had failed, so in current times Christian Church disposes by “demonically possessed” people in other modern way – simply by forwarding such people to psychiatrists, claiming that this man is “mentally ill” and not “demonically possessed” and claiming Christian Church has nothing to do with such cases. This strategy is the perfect tool to improve success rate of exorcism procedures – if exorcism procedure has barely succeeded then such man is declared as “demonically possessed”, however if exorcism procedure has failed then such man is declared as “mentally ill” who needs treatment in lunatic asylum and Christian Church has nothing to do with him.

Majority of doctors who treat the “demonic possession” incorrectly assume that “demonic possession” is exactly the same phenomenon as epilepsy – this confusion is due to the lack of knowledge about the existence of autonomic egregoric neuroclusters.
It is important to note that “demonic possession” and “epilepsy” are actually two different distinct phenomena. In “demonic possession” phenomenon the autonomic egregoric neurocluster takes over the control of patient’s physical body. Autonomic egregoric neurocluster can cause epileptic seizures, however epileptic seizure is the by-product of defective egregoric neurocluster’s activity, non-defective egregoric neurocluster does not cause epileptic seizures.
In classical medical cases the epileptic seizure arise without the involvement of egregoric neuroclusters, epileptic seizure arise when a small number of neurons in the brain excite themselves via positive feedback neural circuits which leads to the excitation of nearby neurons and this excessive hypersynchronous neuronal activity spreads through large areas of the brain. There are many ways to treat epilepsy however all these treatments share the same common working principle – in order to eliminate the epileptic seizures you need to suppress the excitement of neurons and you need to suppress the spread of the neural excitement through the large areas of the brain. Drugs which are used to treat epilepsy block the activity of the brain neurons thus rendering the patient into vegetable-like state to more or less degree. When a patient takes such drugs the frequency of epileptic seizures drops down or seizures disappear completely.
In psychiatry the same strategy is applied to “demonic possession” cases as well – the patient is drugged with medications which render the patient into vegetable-like state to more or less degree.
At current moment the psychiatry does not have any other tools to deal with “demonic possession” patients – the only treatment of such patient is to drug him into vegetable-like state.
However Neurocluster Brain Model gives an answer how to deal with “demonic possession” – all you need to do is (surgically or by other means) fix the brain locally in the places where egregoric neurocluster is located and thus the patient will be free from that “demon” forever.

In Middle Ages Christian Inquisition has killed millions of people who were accused as being possessed by demons. Christians are unable to answer the simple question: why Inquisition has killed so many people? The answer is very simple – all societies in all times had some percentage of mentally ill men who were impossible to cure and who caused many troubles for surrounding people. Earlier societies did not possess enough resources and technologies to be able to support these mentally ill people – thus the easiest solution was chosen – simply to exterminate these mentally ill people by accusing them as being possessed by demons. Christian Church organized public executions of these mentally ill persons making such public executions as grand shows for religious adepts. The killing of mentally ill persons was totally controlled by the Church, which besides the killings of mentally ill persons also killed mentally healthy persons who were simply opposing the Church dogmas and Church domination.
In current times the society is able to support and to keep alive mentally ill people who are kept in psychiatric hospitals (a.k.a. lunatic asylums) and this the reason why the Church stopped killing mentally ill people.
It is important to note that the Church killed only such mentally ill people whose hallucinatory visions did not match Christianity dogmas, however if mentally ill person declared that he had hallucinatory vision in which he saw Jesus, Saint Mary or some other Christian Saint, then the Church declared such mentally person as the Saint.

The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by magician and skeptic James Randi. In 1964, Randi began offering a prize of $US1000 to anyone who could demonstrate a supernatural or paranormal ability under agreed-upon scientific testing criteria. This prize has since been increased to $US1 million in bonds and is now administered by the JREF as the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. Since its inception, more than 1000 people have applied to be tested. To date no one has either been able to demonstrate their claimed abilities under the testing conditions or have not fulfilled the foundation conditions for taking the test; the prize money still remains to be claimed. The JREF also maintains a legal defense fund to assist persons who are attacked as a result of their investigations and criticism of people who make paranormal claims.
Randi Foundation has conducted tests of telepathy and made the conclusion that the telepathy does not exist. Yet there are millions of people who claim that telepathy is a real phenomenon. Millions of people who have personally experienced telepathic séances will never believe the claims of the skeptic scientists (like Randi Foundation) that the telepathy does not exist. Who is right and who is wrong? The answer is simple – both sides are wrong because both sides have no idea what is the underlying mechanism of the telepathy due to the ignorance of the brain physiology.
The underlying mechanism of the telepathy is the following. The behavior of any man is governed by a simple law – standard stimulus invokes standard reaction (for that particular man) and this reaction can be forecasted with high probability (for example with 90 % probability). As for example, if Mary will be asked to do the housecleaning there is 90 % probability that Mary will become hysterical and will not do the housecleaning, however if Peter will be asked to do the housecleaning there is 90 % probability that Peter will do the job without any salvos and put-offs, if Laura will be offered to eat a cake there is 90 % probability that Laura will happily eat all the cake, however if John will be offered to eat a cake there is 90 % probability that John will decline the offer, etc. Everybody has seen in their lives huge number of people whose reaction so some stimulus (phrase/action/etc) can be forecasted with almost 100 % probability – especially this is inherent to old age people who are very inclined to “replay the same tape” precisely word after word.
In the human brain for every real world object there is been created the model of that object and some neural cluster saves the data about that object and this neural cluster undertakes to do the modeling of that object. When a man gets acquainted with [Mary/Peter/Laura/John] then some neural cluster undertakes to do the modeling of [Mary/Peter/Laura/John]’s behavior. The more the man gets to know [Mary/Peter/Laura/John] the more exact and the more detailed becomes the model about [Mary/Peter/Laura/John] in the brain of the man. Usually the deepest relationships are between the family members (the mother and her child, brothers and sisters, etc) and for that reason the models of close family member are especially precise. As for example, the mother has helped her child to do the homework and then she goes to the shop for a food. The child, while waiting for the mother, suddenly starts wanting “mom, please buy the ice-cream”, and approximately at the same time, when the mother is still shopping, suddenly in mother’s brain the neurocluster which models her child tells the mother “please buy the ice-cream”, the mother hears that and buys the ice-cream. When the mother returns home with the ice-cream and when the mother discusses with her child the evens which had happened – they both will decide and will become strongly convinced that the thoughts were transmitted via distance (the telepathy event). However the reality is much simpler – the model of the child in the mother’s brain has pretty well forecasted and modeled the behavior of the child – both the real child and the model of the child – both simultaneously started wanting the ice-cream. I.e. the “telepathic connection” is the connection inside the brain of the same man – the neurocluster which models the behavior of person X sends the message to the main personality and main personality receives that message. The law which governs “telepathic connection” is very simple – “telepathic connection” can be successful only when very detailed model of another X person’s behavior is implanted in the man’s brain. And the “telepathic connection” will be complete failure if it will be used for transition of telepathic information between people who does not know each other. And for that reason all double-blind tests of telepathy which were done by skeptic scientists failed and skeptic scientists naively think that they have “proven that telepathy does not exists”, however millions of people use the “telepathy” successfully in their daily life and are strongly convinced in the existence of “telepathy”. The denial of the phenomenon is not the explanation of the existing phenomenon – and for that reason millions of people simply do not listen to the twaddle of skeptic scientists and these people keep studying occult books written by “spiritual gurus” and keep believing in mystical nature of the “telepathy”.
All “telepathic information transmission” cases are governed by the following law – the more the participants know each other – the stronger/better is the “telepathic connection” between them, i.e. the more detailed model about the telepathic séance partner is in the brain of the man – the more precise is the “telepathic connection”.
The same underlying mechanism is in the similar phenomenon when some people experience “telepathic séances” with various celebrities – usually with some TV star, movie star, singer, musician, etc. What is the underlying mechanism of such “telepathic séances”? It is very simple. Some teenage girl falls in love with some TV-star-musician which is broadcasted via TV almost every day and this girl begins collecting and reading various articles in magazines/newspapers/etc about her “lover-TV-star”, she begins collecting various fetishes (video and sound records, photo cards, etc) and she knows every single small detail of TV-star’s life even better than that TV-star knows about himself. As the result very detailed and precise model about TV-star is formed in the girl’s brain and the girl begins “telepathic communication séances” with that TV-star – séances usually happen in the nights during dreamtime, however séances may also happen during the full awareness state.

It is important to note that Neurocluster Brain Model does not deal with the question of the existence of the Creator of the Universe (a.k.a. God), Neurocluster Brain Model does not deny or prove the existence of the Creator, Neurocluster Brain Model does not answer the question if the Creator exists or not, the question of the existence of the Creator is out of scope in Neurocluster Brain Model.
What Neurocluster Brain Model does is that it proves that all known religious experiences are the result of the activity of autonomous neuroclusters inside the brain of the religious adept. Neurocluster Brain Model proves that the origin of “sacred knowledge” which is written in all known religious sacred scriptures (Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc) is nothing more than the creation of autonomous neuroclusters inside the brains of the founders of that religion. Neurocluster Brain Model proves that all known religious sacred scriptures have nothing to do with Creator of the Universe regardless of whether the Creator exists or not.
Creationism vs. evolutionism debate is a very popular topic in the United States, however it is important to note that creationism vs. evolutionism debate is flawed and erroneous in its foundations. The first logical error is that both arguing sides incorrectly assume that Bible equals creationism, which is not true because creationism can be based on other non-biblical religious texts (like Vedas, etc) and also creationism can be based on totally non-religious foundations. The second logical error is the both arguing sides incorrectly assume that from two choices (Bible or evolution) only one choice is correct and the other is wrong which leads to incorrect assumption that supposedly if you will prove that Bible is wrong then evolution automatically becomes true, or if you will prove that evolution is wrong then Bible automatically becomes true. Such reasoning is totally flawed. First of all, the correctness or falseness of the Bible has nothing to do with the existence of the Creator of the Universe. Bible might be wrong from the first letter to the last however the Creator might still exist. The text of the Bible and the existence of the Creator are two distinct completely unrelated things. Secondly, the correctness or falseness of the evolution has nothing to do with existence of the Creator of the Universe. The evolution hypothesis and the Creator hypothesis might be true or false both at the same time – they are not mutually exclusive.

A good example of the same logical error is the website “Truth about Hinduism” which was made by the Muslims. The authors of website “Truth about Hinduism” list a huge list of errors in theology of Hinduism and then authors incorrectly conclude that falseness of Vedas supposedly proves that Quran is true. However it is obvious, that correctness or falseness of the Vedas has nothing to do with correctness or falseness of the Quran. Vedas and Quran are two unrelated things which are not mutually exclusive. Exactly the same applies to evolution vs. Bible debate – Bible and evolution are not mutually exclusive.

Evolutionists claim that evolution is not a hypothesis, evolutionists claim that evolution is a scientific fact, however this claim is not true. The truth is that if you will carefully examine the “proofs” of evolution then you will find that all these “proofs” do not meet the criteria of strict science – many of these “proofs” are simple fakes, while other “proofs” are based of circular logic and still others are based on the faith of evolutionists – none of these “proofs” match the criteria of strict science.
To read about some scientific errors of evolutionists’ claims please click here.
It is important to note that non-existence of “proofs” that match the criteria of strict science does not mean that evolution is incorrect, evolution might be still true. Evolution hypothesis is a very attractive hypothesis because it appears very realistically, the only small problem it has that currently it does not match the criteria of strict science and strictly speaking it is based on faith. However the evolution topic is completely irrelevant to Neurocluster Brain Model so we will not dwell on it. The correctness or falseness of Neurocluster Brain Model is completely unrelated to the correctness or falseness of evolution and/or Creator hypotheses.

We will repeat again, because this is very important: Neurocluster Brain Model does not deal with the questions “who created the Universe?” and “who created Life?”.

Neurocluster Brain Model provides the answer to the questions:
"what is the origin of autonomous neuroclusters?"
"who created autonomous neuroclusters?"
"who is the Creator of autonomous neuroclusters?"
"who is the Creator of the software called “I”?”

Autonomous neuroclusters (including the software called “I”) are created by the physical laws of the material world, external supernatural forces are not needed for this job.
We will clarify this by using the analogy.
Have you ever wondered why snowflakes are perfectly symmetrical and not similar to each other? Who is the Creator of perfectly symmetrical snowflakes?
Physics textbooks do not contain the answer to this simple question, and professors of physics do not know either, so listen carefully.
When a drop of water falls through the atmosphere, the friction into the atmosphere produces acoustic oscillations inside the drop of water. These acoustic oscillations create the interference pattern of acoustic waves inside the drop of water and this interference pattern (combined with hexagonal lattice of water molecules which has six-fold symmetry) is instantaneously frozen at low temperature, which results in perfectly symmetrical snowflake. The Creator of snowflakes is the physical laws of the material world.
Likewise, similarly the software is created inside the neurons of the brain – the Creator here is the physical laws of the material world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_(wave_propagation)

In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other, either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light, radio, acoustic, surface water waves or matter waves. Mechanism The principle of superposition of waves states that when two or more propagating waves of same type are incident on the same point, the resultant amplitude at that point is equal to the vector sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves. If a crest of a wave meets a crest of another wave of the same frequency at the same point, then the amplitude is the sum of the individual amplitudes—this is constructive interference. If a crest of one wave meets a trough of another wave, then the amplitude is equal to the difference in the individual amplitudes—this is known as destructive interference.

Religious adepts claim that the Universe was created by God. When you ask religious adept the simple question “Who created God?”, the answer of religious adept is: “Nobody created God. He is by nature the eternal God. He was not created at all. He always was, is, and always will be.”.
Osho (a.k.a. Shree Rajneesh, Acharya Rajneesh, or simply Rajneesh), the founder the Rajneesh movement cult, exposed the faulty logic of such religious dogma that claims that the Universe was created by God.
If you accept the possibility that some objects (like God) can exist eternally without being created, then the same principle can be applied to the Universe as well. You don’t need a Creator to explain the existence of the Universe. The Universe can exist eternally without being created.
The point is that we have no tools to detect whether the Universe was created or it exist eternally without being created.

Above there were described theoretical principles of the inner working mechanisms of the brain which reveal the underlying working principles of the communication with gods/angels/demons/aliens/etc.
Now let’s analyze the practical experimental side of the same topic – how it is possible to artificially invoke the religious/occult/mystical/etc experiences for a man.

We will shortly remind the techniques which were mentioned above – religious/occult/mystical/etc experiences can be invoked in the following ways:
1) Sensory deprivation. It can be achieved in different ways: by putting a man into „sensory deprivation tank“, by living a secluded life away from civilization, meditations, prayers, etc;
2) Disturbing the equilibrium of biochemical reactions inside the brain. It can be achieved in different ways: by long enough starvation, special diets, holotropic breathwork, yogic exercises, using psychotropic substances, etc.
3) Using artificial power of the will and special techniques. These were not described yet so they will be described below. Detailed instructions will be given about how to enter “spiritual worlds”, how to “meet spiritual teachers in spiritual worlds”, how to leave physical body, etc.

Despite the fact that the humankind had been researching this topic for thousands of years and there are myriads of tractates written on this topic, however from the scientific point of view all these works are at extremely low level, almost kindergarten. The real breakthrough and revolution was done only in year circa 2000 when Michael Raduga began conducting experiments almost at industrial scale using thousands of people as a research object. Below is the short biography of Michael Raduga.

Michael Raduga

http://obe4u.com/michael_raduga/

Michael Raduga (his true name is Butakov Michail Sergeevich (Бутаков Михаил Сергеевич)) was born on July 1, 1983 in Novosibirsk’s Akademgorodok (Siberian Scientific Centre). When Michael Raduga was 15 years of age he awoke in the middle of the night constrained in the paralysis and some invisible force was dragging Michael from the bed into the window outside. Because Michael did not know what was happening to him the only explanation which he could think of was that extraterrestrial aliens were kidnapping him. However the same event was repeated in another night, and then again repeated in another night and so on. At first Michael was strongly convinced that he is being kidnapped by the aliens. However after some time Michael began to understand that this phenomenon has nothing to do with the aliens. At 17 years of age Michael Raduga distantiated himself away from the society and fully devoted himself to the investigation of the “out of body experience” (OOBE) topic. Michael Raduga had read all available literature about OOBE and he realized that all these books are full of errors and that all these books can be thrown into the waste-basket because there are almost useless. So Michael Raduga continued the exploration of OOBE solely on his own and he has done hundreds of experiments collecting experimental data. When other people had found out that Michael Raduga can teach the techniques of “leaving the physical body” they began to flood to Michael wanting to learn how to leave the physical body and Michael Raduga began conducting lectures and began teaching people. At 20 years of age Michael Raduga understood that Novosibirsk is too small town for his activity so Michael took with himself his first written book and moved to Moscow in year 2003. In year 2007 in Moscow Michael Raduga had started the “School of Out-of-Body Travel” in which he taught thousands of people how to “leave the physical body”, he conducted thousands of experiments and he wrote more than 10 books on this topic. In year 2010 Michael Raduga moved to California, USA, which is “the Babylon” of the current civilization. Currently Michael Raduga continues his activity in California, translates his books into other languages, distributes his books for free, etc.
Michael Raduga had tried to study law and management in MESI (Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics), however he had dropped the studies and fully devoted himself to the research of OOBE topic. Michael Raduga did not graduate university and has no university diploma, however his experimental research in OOBE is revolutionary. However the lack of academic training manifests itself in the vocabulary used by Michael Raduga.
As for example the main term/concept which was made-up and is very intensively used by Michael Raduga is “the phase”. Michael Raduga uses the word “the phase” to describe the intermediate stage between awareness and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep stages.

Michael Raduga's definition of “the phase”

Michael Raduga. The Phase – A Practical Guidebook. Page 6.

However the technical problem is that the word “phase” has already reserved meaning a long time ago, which means “period, stage, the degree of the development in some process, etc”.
As for example there are:
1) lunar phases: new moon, waxing (young)'crescent moon, first quarter 'moon', waxing 'gibbous moon', full moon, waning 'gibbous moon', last (third) quarter moon, waning (old) crescent moon;
2) wave phases;
3) oscillation phases;
4) sleep phases;
5) etc.

I.e. the word “phase” is the abstract term and for that reason the abstract word “phase” is absolutely unsuitable for naming the concrete/particular stage.
According to Michael Raduga there is “consciousness (awareness) phase”, there is “REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep stage”, and there is the intermediate phase, which should have some concrete naming “phase X” (where X is some name), however Michael Raduga has named it simply “the phase” which shows that Michael Raduga is unable to distinguish between abstract and concrete terms.
However despite these huge errors in Michael Raduga’s terminology, we can ignore these errors for a while because practical experimental results of Michael Raduga are the real breakthrough from the scientific point of view.
The state between wakefulness and sleep has also other names, like for example “hypnagogia”, “sleep onset”, “yoga nidra, “dream yoga”, “milam”, and so on – for more details please click here.

Michael Raduga has conducted repeatable experiments using groups of people and during these experiments people have experienced:
1) leaving the physical body;
2) clinical death experience;
3) meeting with the dead people;
4) meeting with the angels/demons/aliens/etc;
5) recreated biblical stories of “divine visions”;
6) etc.

After analyzing huge amounts of experimental data, Michael Raduga came to the conclusion that “spiritual worlds” are virtual worlds simulated by the brain of “spiritual traveler”.
However Michael Raduga does not speak about that openly because he does not want to scare away religious adepts who believe that “soul/spirit” leaves the physical body during “spiritual travel”.
Michael Raduga says that in his “School of Out-of-Body Travel and Lucid Dreaming” he can teach any man to artificially induce “out-of-body” experiences no matter what worldview/religion that man believes.
Michael Raduga just gives you technical instructions how to achieve “out-of-body” state and it is up to you to stay or not with your current worldview/religion.

For more details please read articles in mass media about Michael Raduga's experiments, please see the video lectures of Michael Raduga and please read his books.

Here you can read about the most prominent researchers of the OOBE field which were conducting their research before the arrival of Michael Raduga to the scene.
Here you can read the excerpt from Michael Raduga book “The Phase – A Practical Guidebook” about the machines which are supposed to help to reach OOBE state.

The techniques described by Michael Raduga are aimed at developing the ability to communicate with autonomous neuroclusters during the dream stage.
However it is possible to develop the ability to communicate with autonomous neuroclusters during full awakening state. By using special techniques it is possible to artificially create so-called “tulpa” which dwells in your brain. Tulpa is an entity created in the brain, which acts and thinks independently from the main personality. For more detailed instructions about how to create tulpa please read at the resources provided below.

Question: why Neurocluster Brain Model encounters fierce resistance from religious adepts?
Explanation below.

Religious adepts have blind fanatic faith in the following two religious dogmas:
1) the man has “consciousness/soul/spirit/etc”;
2) “consciousness/soul/spirit/etc” is indivisible object, it can not be divided into the composing parts.

Both these dogmas have no scientific/experimental evidence whatsoever and both these dogmas do not meet the scientific criteria. According to the religious adepts, you simply must blindly believe in these two dogmas, and it does not matter that these dogmas are purely religious dogmas and have nothing to do with science. Religious adepts say: do you see that such and such authority believed in the existence of “consciousness” – and this means that you must believe that too.
More detailed description is in the article “Appeal to authority is a form of logical fallacy”.

Definition of “religious dogma”: a claim which does not meet the scientific criteria, a claim which has no experimental evidence.
Definition of “religious adept”: a man who believes in religious dogma.

Pseudoscientists have blind fanatic faith that they have consciousness. However, these pseudoscientists are unable to provide any evidence that they have consciousness.

The claim about the existence of “consciousness” is the religious dogma by definition.
A man who believes that he has “consciousness” is the religious adept by definition.

The article “What is science and what isn't science?” contains more detailed instructions about how to distinguish science from pseudoscience.

In science, the only way to confirm or to refute the theory/model, is to carry out the experiments and test whether the predictions of the model/theory are confirmed or not. There is no other way in science. In science the philosophical-theoretical blabber has no value whatsoever. The only judge in science is the experiment.

The difference between the scientist and the religious adept is the following:
1) The scientist does the experiment and checks out if the predictions of the model/theory are confirmed or not, and then based on the experimental results the scientist makes conclusions.
2) The religious adept says “I have not done the experiment, I will not do the experiment, I believe my religious dogma no matter what is the evidence, I will not look into the evidence, I am not interested in the evidence, I believe my religious dogma no matter what is the evidence”.

Neurocluster Brain Model is strictly scientific model, so if you want to check whether it is correct or not – all you need to do is to carry out the experiments which are described in Neurocluster Brain Model.
Neurocluster Brain Model was built based on the analysis and processing of experimental data of numerous experiments carried out on a statistically large sample of people.
If someone of you have any doubts about Neurocluster Brain Model and if you want to check whether it is correct or not – all you need to do is to carry out the experiments which are described in Neurocluster Brain Model.
If you have not carried out the needed experiments, if you do not have experimental results, then you are not qualified as scientist to make the judgment, your judgment is based purely on religious dogmas.

The experiments are very simple, and anyone can reproduce these experiments.

Experiment #1: interview with the dream character during the dreaming.

Next time when you go to sleep and when you have a dream and when you see some dream character-of-human-form (father/mother/brother/sister/friend/relative/etc) in your dream, go closer to that dream character and ask him a simple question: “do you have your own awareness/consciousness/soul/spirit/etc?” and then wait for the answer from that dream character.
In case if you have troubles to carry out this experiment during the dream (inability to control yourself during the dream) then this problem has easy technical solution – just use the techniques developed by Michael Raduga and you will be able to achieve lucid dream and/or OOBE state.

Let’s raise a simple question: who is the best expert to decide whether dream character has “awareness/consciousness” or not?
The answer is obvious: the best expert in this question is the dream character himself.
So your job is very simple – just ask the dream character himself whether he has “awareness/consciousness/soul/spirit/etc” or not.

Dream characters are autonomous personalities/entities who have their own opinion/knowledge beyond the control of the main personality. This can be easily proved with reproducible experiments, during which the dream characters provide information, which was previously unknown for the main personality (as for example, the dream character can tell you where you need to look for the lost keys, which you have lost a week ago and you were unable to find these keys despite you were desperately searching for them over the week, and after waking up you will find the keys in the specified location).

Experiment #2: interview with the “spirit” during the “spiritualistic séance”.

Another experimental proof of the autonomy of the dream characters is so-called “spiritualistic séance” during which the same dream characters (now having different name – so-called “spirits”, although the underlying mechanism of “spirits” and “dream characters” is exactly the same) in the awakening state can provide information, which the main personality had never known before (as for example, the “spirit” can tell you where you need to look for the lost keys, which you have lost a week ago and you were unable to find these keys despite you were desperately searching for them over the week, and after checking out you will find the keys in the specified location).

During the “spiritualistic séance”, after you will succeed in invoking the “spirit” simply ask him “do you have your own awareness/consciousness/soul/spirit/etc?” and then wait for the answer from that “spirit”.

Again, let’s raise a simple question: who is the best expert to decide whether the “spirit” has “awareness/consciousness” or not?
The answer is obvious: the best expert in this question is the “spirit” himself.
So your job is very simple – just ask the “spirit” himself whether he has “awareness/consciousness” or not.

The experimental setup is very simple and the cost of equipment is less than a dollar.
All you need are:
1) the needle;
2) the thread (length approximately 20-40 cm, 30 cm is the statistical average, the concrete comfortable length depends on the length of the hand of the "medium");
3) one standard A4-size sheet of paper, on this sheet of paper write down the alphabet letters in circle, which should look like the image below:

http://www.abaxion.com/kee110.htm

Buckland Spirit Board

Place this sheet of paper on the table, take the thread with attached needle into the hand, and then position your hand over the sheet of paper in such a way that the needle is hanging above the center of the circle with alphabet letters, however the needle is not touching the sheet of paper, the needle is hanging above the sheet of paper at a distance of several centimeters from the paper.
Then concentrate and start the “invocation of the spirit”.
Choose freely the character whose “spirit” you want to “invoke”, as for example your dead grandfather, some historical person, some fictional character – it does not matter at all which character you will choose.
All that matters here is – whatever “spirit” will be able to respond and communicate meaningful messages via movements of the hanging needle, is good enough for the experiment.
As for example, you can try invoking Napoleon’s spirit – all you need to is – while keeping the thread with the needle above the center of the circle with alphabet letters, ask the question “Hello, Napoleon’s spirit, please come, I want to talk with you, are you here?”.
And watch carefully for the movements of the needle. If the needle starts moving forming meaningful words/sentences from the alphabet letters then the communication channel with the “spirit” is established.
If invoking of Napoleon’s spirit has failed (the needle does not move or moves randomly without forming meaningful words/sentences) then choose another character and repeat the same exact procedure anew, like for example “Hello, grandfather’s spirit, please come, I want to talk with you, are you here?”.
If invoking of spirit has failed again, then repeat the same exact procedure every time choosing another character.
It is important to note here, that during the first “séances” do not expect long fluent sentences from the “spirit”, if that “spirit” will be able to form one word from letters of alphabet then that is already the great achievement.
The intelligence level of majority of “spirits” is pretty low – getting one word as the answer to the asked question is a great achievement for that “spirit”.
When “séances” with the same “spirit” are repeated again and again then the fluency/speed of “spirit’s speech” increases with every new “séance”.
If you are lucky enough, then you can establish the communication channel with the “spirit” which will begin broadcast of the “spiritual knowledge about the structure of the universe, the moral lessons for the whole humanity across the globe, etc.” – such cases are quite rare, however you have small chance to succeed in that.
One such typical classic example of autonomic neurocluster is so-called “archangel Gabriel” which dictated the text of Quran to Muhammad.

If you are failing to establish “communication channel” with the “spirit” then bellow are the techniques which might help:
1) If you are holding the thread with a needle in the right hand and “invoking of spirit” fails, then try holding the thread with a needle with another hand, try with the left hand, this might help. You need to find out which of your hands (right or left) is more successful in carrying out “séances”.
2) Experimental results have shown that coffee/alcohol/cigarettes/drugs/etc affects the “communication channel with the spirit” – the usage of even small doses of coffee/alcohol/cigarettes/drugs/etc either facilitates or hinders the “communication channel” – for different people the effect is different, however in your case the effect might be facilitation, so why not to try it, it might help. Of course, the preferred experimental setup is the complete soberness of the “medium”, however if “invocation of spirit” fails no matter how hard you try, then you have nothing to lose trying the same “invocation of spirit” procedure after the usage of small doses of coffee/alcohol/cigarettes/drugs/etc.

Experiment #3: induction of incidents of sleepwalking and/or MPD (multiple personality disorder).

Neurocluster Brain Model predicts that: after prolonged repeatable experimentation with “spiritualistic séances” you have high risk to induce sleepwalking/MPD incidents for the “medium”, during which the “medium” will be moving/breaking/etc various things in his own house, and when after awakening he finds things broken and scattered around his house, he becomes scared and strongly convinced that “evil spirits have possessed his house” – in more advanced cases this leads to the lunatic asylum.
Just go and carry out “spiritualistic séances” using “thread with the attached needle method” for prolonged periods of time as described above. Please note that it is important to use thread with the attached needle, do not use planchette/cup/glass/saucer (or some other heavy object) as shown in Hollywood movies. This setup (thread with the attached needle) will allow the manifestation of microscopic muscular contractions of the hand controlled by autonomous neurocluster inside the brain of the medium – with this experimental setup you can carry as many reproducible experiments as you wish. Using planchette/cup/glass/saucer will not work for average statistical man. Using planchette/cup/glass/saucer might work for people who are already in the lunatic asylum, but that’s another story. Average statistical man must use thread with the attached needle in order to succeed in “invoking spirit”.
Check out the results – check out if the “medium” has began having sleepwalking/MPD incidents which were not present before the experiment. The easiest and most reliable way to detect sleepwalking/MPD incidents is to use 24/7 video recording. If video recording is not available then sleepwalking/MPD incidents can be diagnosed using simple basic set of questions (however this method is less reliable than video recording).

Question for reader: have you carried out three experiments which were described above?
If you have not carried out the necessary experiments then you are not qualified as scientist to judge Neurocluster Brain Model, and your judgment is based purely on the religious dogmas.

The most popular religious dogma claims that man has “indivisible-single-consciousness”, the adepts of this religious dogma are scared to death by the idea that other agents/entities might be present in their own brain. That fierce fear of the possibility of other agents/entities being present in their own brain drives these people to fight until “the last drop of blood” defending the religious dogma of “indivisible-single-consciousness”.
From scientific point of view – it does not matter what do you think or what do you believe.
Science is what you can observe and on which you can carry out reproducible experiments – everything that meets these criteria is the science; and everything that does not meet these criteria – is not the science.

Let’s raise a simple question: is “consciousness” really indivisible object?
It is very easy to prove experimentally that dream characters do have their own “awareness/consciousness/soul/spirit/etc”. The experiment setup is very easy and was described above.
Make your conclusions ONLY after you have done the experiment on statistically large sample of people (acting as “mediums”). If you have not done the experiment then your philosophical-theoretical blabber has no value whatsoever.

Very often religious adepts oppose Neurocluster Brain Model with the following argument:
“there is no place in the brain where you could hide a second personality, much less 30 or 40 extra personalities”.

Below is the homework task for the development of logical thinking for religious adepts who have strong religious fanatic faith that “man has indivisible-single-consciousness”:
Are you completely sure that your brain is really able to contain one(1) personality? What about the scenario when one(1) personality is unable to fit in the brain, and only half(1/2) or a quarter(1/4) or a tenth(1/10) of personality is able to fit in the brain – how about that? Let’s suppose that we claim that your brain is too small to contain whole one(1) personality, one(1) personality is unable to fit into your brain/head, and we claim that your brain/head contains only tenth(1/10) of personality – flag into your hands, go ahead and try to disprove the claim that your brain contains only tenth(1/10) of personality.
The reasoning behind that is very simple: if man’s brain is able to fit one(1) personality then such man is able to carry out scientific experiments to check whether experimental results confirm the predictions of model/theory or not, however if the man’s brain is too small to fit one(1) personality then such man says “I have not done the experiment, I will not do the experiment, I believe my religious dogma no matter what is the evidence, I will not look into the evidence, I am not interested in the evidence, I believe my religious dogma no matter what is the evidence”.

We will explain once again step by step.

Step #1: Scientific model/theory must be able to make predictions – do you agree with that or not?

Step #2: The predictions of the scientific model/theory must be testable by reproducible experiments – do you agree with that or not?

Step #3: Neurocluster Brain Model is able to make predictions which can be tested by reproducible experiments – so just go and do these experiments instead of your philosophical-theoretical blabber.
Make your conclusions ONLY after you have done the experiment on statistically large sample of people (acting as “mediums”). If you have not done the experiment then your philosophical-theoretical blabber has no value whatsoever.


Different people have different backgrounds and different qualifications and as the result they have different comprehension levels of the material.
When we write the description of “Neurocluster Brain Model” we try to present everything as simple as possible, however we do admit that we sometimes overestimate the capabilities/qualifications of some common casual readers.
A lot of material about “Neurocluster Brain Model” requires prerequisites in order to understand the material. If the reader does not meet the prerequisites then he will misunderstand some parts of the material or even the whole material.

In order to fully 100% comprehend the material about “Neurocluster Brain Model” the prerequisites are: training/qualification in neuroscience, plus training/qualification in computer science, plus training/qualification in physics, plus training/qualification in electronics – and all of them simultaneously at the same time. And how many readers have training/qualification in all of these areas simultaneously at the same time? Not many, to say the least.
If the reader has training/qualification only in neuroscience then it is not enough. If the reader has training/qualification only in physics then it is not enough. If the reader has training/qualification only in computer science then it is not enough. If the reader has training/qualification only in electronics then it is not enough.
The purpose of this text is to test and to debug the description/presentation of “Neurocluster Brain Model” in order to find out which parts of the material are comprehensive for the layman reader and which parts of the material are totally misunderstood. Then, according to the feedback, remake/redesign the description/presentation of “Neurocluster Brain Model” in order to increase its comprehensibility for the layman reader. Very often the sacrifice of accuracy is needed in order to increase the comprehensibility of the material. Sometimes a little inaccuracy saves a ton of explanation.

Conclusions

1. The new scientific model of the brain called Neurocluster Brain Model has been proposed which is able to explain all so-called “religious and occult phenomena”.

2. Neurocluster Brain Model claims that the model of the object is stored inside the “piece of the brain” (cluster of neurons) and this neurocluster acts not only as passive “data file” but also under special conditions this neurocluster can act as “executable file” which can simulate the behavior of stored object for the main personality – this is the underlying mechanism of how religious adepts communicate with spirits/angels/Gods/etc and also the underlying mechanism of other religious and occult phenomena.

3. Neurocluster Brain Model defines “I” (a.k.a. “spirit”, “soul”, “consciousness”, etc) as the software which runs on neural-network-hardware (i.e. on neurons of the brain). The neurocluster which most of the time has the access to actuators (i.e. neurocluster which most of the time acts upon an environment using actuators) is called the “main personality”. Neuroclusters which have no access at all or which have only short duration and limited access to actuators – such neuroclusters are called “autonomous neuroclusters”.

4. Neurocluster Brain Model claims that human brain contains many autonomous neuroclusters, however under normal usual conditions all these neuroclusters are in the dormant (latent) state and do not manifest themselves into outer world thus mankind has made wrong conclusion that one human body contains only one(1) personality (a.k.a. consciousness, soul, spirit). Under special (natural or artificial) conditions it is possible to invoke the manifestation of these autonomous neuroclusters into the outer world which result in manifestation of various so-called “religious and occult phenomena”.

5. The validity of Neurocluster Brain Model can be proved experimentally in many ways, as for example one such proof is so-called “spiritualistic séances”. Almost everybody can make the experiment of invoking of “spirits” in the spiritualistic séance using “needle with the thread” method and this experiment will prove that communication with “spirits” (i.e. autonomous neuroclusters) is a real tangible phenomenon and not a fantasy. Religious adepts claim that spirits are some kind of “cloudlets”, which can travel via air, which can fly from one geographical location into another, etc – in that case when spirit is invoked during spiritualistic séance then psychological portrait of that spirit must remain the same no matter which medium is holding the needle with the thread, however experiments show that psychological portrait of the invoked spirit changes when the needle with the thread is given to another medium sitting at the same table – this change of psychological portrait is easily explained by Neurocluster Brain Model – all “spirits” are actually autonomic neuroclusters inside of the brain of the medium and these neuroclusters act as separate personalities which are independent from the main personality of the medium, and brains of different mediums have slightly different models of the same “invoked spirit” which results in the change of psychological portrait of the spirit when needle with the thread is given to another medium.

6. The advantage of Neurocluster Brain Model is that it able to predict which conditions must be satisfied in order to invoke the manifestation of some particular religious/occult phenomenon, as for example Neurocluster Brain Model predicts which conditions must be satisfied in order to have successful “telepathic connection” and under what conditions “telepathic connection” will fail.

7. From a normal healthy man it is possible to artificially create MPD (multiple personality disorder), it is possible to artificially implant into human brain up to 20-40 independent personalities which can remain dormant (latent) for years until the demand of the creator who can provoke manifestation of these hidden independent personalities to accomplish the needed mission.

8. The advantage of Neurocluster Brain Model is that it provides the ability to distinguish which stories/claims of religious adepts are real/reliable and which stories/claims of religious adepts are fake/deceptive. As for example, if you will carefully investigate all cases of videos which show poltergeist throwing various material objects then you will always find out that all these videos are fake, however if you will personally yourself carry out spiritualistic séances then you will find out that communication with autonomic neuroclusters inside medium’s brain is a very real phenomenon and under special conditions you can have quite meaningful communication with these autonomous neuroclusters.
