The Permanent Change In The Spiritually Awakened Brain

Dr. Andrew Newberg’s research on the spiritually awakened brain sheds light on the profound concept of permanent change—a transformation that can occur within an individual’s brain, body, and overall life. This transformation often manifests as a deep shift in relationships, self-perception, and worldview, offering a new understanding of the self and the world that enhances the human experience. Changes in the brain linked to spiritual awakening include long-lasting alterations in the dopaminergic-serotonin system, which are associated with increased happiness and well-being. Additionally, elevated baseline levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to social bonding, empathy, and a sense of interconnectedness, serve as markers of this transformation.

Central to Newberg’s findings is the concept of no-self, where the self is seen not as a fixed entity but as a fluid, ever-evolving process. This shift in self-understanding fosters a greater awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore these transformative insights and their impact on our sense of purpose and connection to the world. By moving beyond egoic self-identification and embracing the idea of no-self, participants will gain a deeper understanding of their oneness with the ultimate creation, both scientifically and spiritually. As we learn to see the self as a dynamic process rather than a static identity, we open ourselves to a more liberated and interconnected way of being.

Join us for the sacred conclusion to this valuable retreat series, where we will delve into the essence of the spiritually awakened brain and its potential to inspire lasting, positive change in our lives and the world around us.
