In an interview with the Austin American-Statesman, Thomson stated, "There is a massive, irreconcilable conflict between science and religion. Religion was humanity's original cosmology, biology, and anthropology.&nbsp;
It provided explanations for the origin of the world, life, and humans. Science now gives us increasingly complete explanations for those big three." He is on the Board of the Center for Inquiry. When he was young, Thomson had read Jim Garrison's book On the Trail of the Assassins and became convinced that there had been a conspiracy.
He then read Gerald Posner's book Case Closed, which showed clearly that Oswald was the killer. While he thought the book was brilliant, he felt that the motivation for the killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, should be made more clear. He wrote a long paper detailing Oswald's mental state. His conclusion was that Oswald was bipolar based on his previous diagnosis in his youth and had suffered from sexual abuse at the hands of his mother.

Neuroscientist Mario Beauregard and journalist Brenda J. O'Leary argue that spiritual experiences are rooted in the brain, drawing on their own research with Carmelite nuns and other people who have reported having profound religious experiences.
&nbsp;They explain how some scientists have attempted to locate a God gene in some of us and claim that our brains are hardwired for religion—even the strange case of one neuroscientist who allegedly invented an electromagnetic God helmet that could produce a mystical experience in anyone who wore it. The authors argue, however, that these attempts are misguided and narrow-minded because they reduce spiritual experiences to material phenomena.

Beauregard's research in The Spiritual Brain explores the influence of consciousness on our lives. He suggests that our conscious mind has more power than we often give it credit for. This could be a game-changer for you if you're looking to harness the power of your own consciousness.

The Influence of Consciousness

In his book, Beauregard also looks into the concept of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to change and adapt. This is a hopeful message for anyone looking to make changes in their life, as it suggests that our brains are more flexible than we might think.

The Potential of Neuroplasticity

The Spiritual Brain

Mario Beauregard's groundbreaking work on the neurobiology of mystical experience at the University of Montreal has received international media coverage. Before becoming a faculty member there, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Texas and the Montreal Neurological Institute (McGill University). Because he researched the neuroscience of consciousness, he was selected by the World Media Net to be among the "One Hundred Pioneers of the 21st Century." He lives in Montreal, Canada.
While working at the University of Montreal, Beauregard and his graduate student, Vincent Paquette, conducted a study using fMRI to examine the brains of nuns reliving mystical experiences. They found that no single spot was involved in mediating these experiences but that multiple brain regions and systems were involved.&nbsp;
He has also studied the brain activity of people who are reliving near-death experiences they have previously had. He has said that this research indicates that these experiences have "triggered something at a neural level in the brain."
He has also written multiple books, including The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Case for the Existence of the Soul, which he co-authored with Denyse O'Leary and was published in 2007.[10] He also published another book, Brain Wars: The Scientific Battle Over the Existence of the Mind and the Proof That Will Change the Way We Live Our Lives, in 2012.&nbsp;
In this book, he contends that the mind and brain are fundamentally distinct from one another. Among the lines of evidence he cites to support this view are the effects one's thoughts and beliefs can have on the course of diseases like cancer and Parkinson's disease.

In Expanding Reality, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard presents the scientific evidence that our familiar materialistic model of the world is locked into a dated 19th-century philosophy. Whether you agree with all his conclusions, this book will challenge you to rethink how we see ourselves and our world--and may help usher in a new scientific revolution.

In 'Expanding Reality', Mario Beauregard introduces us to the concept of postmaterialist science. This new approach to science goes beyond the physical and material world, exploring phenomena that can't be explained by traditional scientific theories. It's a fascinating read if you're interested in the intersection of science and spirituality.

Understanding Postmaterialist Science

Beauregard points out that traditional science, with its focus on the material world, has its limitations. He argues that it fails to explain certain phenomena, such as consciousness and near-death experiences. This book encourages you to look beyond the physical world and explore these unexplained phenomena.

The Limitations of Materialist Science

One of the key themes in 'Expanding Reality' is the role of consciousness. Beauregard suggests that consciousness is not just a byproduct of the brain, but a fundamental aspect of the universe. This book will make you see consciousness in a whole new light.

The Role of Consciousness

Beauregard's book is not just about science, it's also about spirituality. He argues that science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive, but can actually complement each other. If you're interested in both science and spirituality, you'll find this book intriguing.

The Intersection of Science and Spirituality

In 'Expanding Reality', Beauregard paints a picture of what the future of science could look like. He believes that postmaterialist science will become more mainstream, leading to new discoveries and insights. If you're curious about the future of science, this book is a must-read.
