$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / While it cannot be proved \ | retrospectively that any experience of | | possession, conversion, revelation, or | | divine ecstasy was merely an epileptic | | discharge, we must ask how one | | differentiates "real transcendence" | | from neuropathies that produce the same | | extreme realness, profundity, | | ineffability, and sense of cosmic | | unity. When accounts of sudden | | religious conversions in TLEs | | [temporal-lobe epileptics] are laid | | alongside the epiphanous revelations of | | the religious tradition, the parallels | | are striking. The same is true of the | | recent spate of alleged UFO abductees. | | Parsimony alone argues against invoking | | spirits, demons, or extraterrestrials | | when natural causes will suffice. -- | | Barry L. Beyerstein, "Neuropathology | | and the Legacy of Spiritual | | | | Possession", The Skeptical Inquirer, | \ Vol. XII, No. 3, pg. 255 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
