The Science of Self-Realisation & Liberation
October 10, 2025 @ 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM AEST
Liberation, a concept deeply rooted in various cultures and religions, refers to the release or freedom from limitations—whether physical, mental, or spiritual. Often associated with self-realisation, enlightenment, and transcendence, liberation in a spiritual context typically means breaking free from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, known as samsara. Achieving this state is frequently pursued through higher-level spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and prayer.
Liberation involves transcending the constraints of the ego, allowing individuals to connect with their deeper spiritual essence and experience true freedom. Dr. Lisa Miller’s research on the awakened brain identifies five observable traits shared across religious and spiritual traditions: altruism, love of one’s neighbour as oneself, a sense of oneness, the practice of sacred transcendence, and adherence to a moral code. By consciously cultivating these traits, individuals can strengthen their “muscle of transcendent awareness,” leading to a more profound spiritual experience. Miller’s findings suggest that spirituality and religiosity are innate and heritable traits that can be nurtured through environmental influences over a person’s lifetime.
