Neurotheology 1 - This talk, called "God and the Brain", is a discussion of the Persinger "God Helmet" (actually the Koren Helmet) and the 8 Coil Shakti. It covers visions of God, Near-Death Experiences, and other themes in neurotheology, the field that integrates neuroscience and spirituality. This is the first of six lectures on Spirituality and the Brain by Todd Murphy, inventor of the 8 Coil Shakti and the Shiva Neural Stimulation system, which duplicates the procedures used in the God Helmet experiments. He has been a member of Laurentian University's Behavioral Neuroscience research group, under the direction of Dr. M. A. Persinger since 1998. See http://www.spiritualbrain.com.

Rebirth: How does it work? A model based on the dependent origination
Uploaded by piyalwalpola on Apr 15, 2011
In the background of ignorance one of these mental formations (thoughts) can then become the last thought (rebirth/generative kamma) that determines the future consciousness (rebirth consciousness). The consciousness in turn will determine the name-and-form of the future birth.
The name-and-form together with consciousness in the new embryo will form the six senses and with birth this will continue the cycle all over again ending up with old age, sickness and death. The second video below shows the 12 step dependent origination as described in the suttas.
Here are the 12 step dependent origination as described in a sutta.
1. From ignorance as a requisite condition come mental formations (fabrications).
2. From Mental formations (fabrications) as a requisite condition comes consciousness.
3. From consciousness as a requisite condition comes name-&-form.
4. From name-&-form as a requisite condition come the six sense media.
5. From the six sense media as a requisite condition comes contact.
6. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling.
7. From feeling as a requisite condition comes craving.
8. From craving as a requisite condition comes clinging/sustenance.
9. From clinging/sustenance as a requisite condition comes becoming.
10. From becoming as a requisite condition comes birth.
11. From birth as a requisite condition,
12. Then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair come into play.
Such is the origination of this entire mass of stress & suffering.
