Perhaps seizures could suddenly make you the king of your language ?? cause the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) did not know how to read or write and yet the ayats in the Quran are extremely correct in all aspects of arabic grammer. Not even the most brilliant poets back then and today (poets back then were better) could do that.

@Charels B.
There is no way to resolve this right now. I simply don’t have a laboratory full with expensive high-tech gadetry to measure my temporal lobe functions and then send you the data.
About the demons well again there is no way for me mere office-slave marketing guy to prove/disprove this . I remember hearing this same argument back in high-school from the Jehovah’s witness girl (she hated me :)).
We marketing guys have a reputation for selling our soul to the devil so maybe you are not so far off. -just joking :)

There are spiritual aspects to meditation that are not entirely 100% always of a solo mental exercise. I do believe in demonic entities, and they often play a part in meditation.

Prolonged maditation can be an abuse of the temporal lobes’ functions, perhaps.

@Charles B.
Not entirely true. As I mentioned in aa comment yesterday in “the fondational falsehoods of creationism ” thread (it was a really long one nobody read it :)) this can be induced in a perfectly healthy individual through the use of various meditational techniques/self regression. I’m the living proof for this it is recreatable, descriabable, the intensity of it measurable even under controlled circumstances.

Wow! A very good documentary! This is a brilliant man.

Barton: You said: “Perhaps Prophets, God/Gods and Buddha had a temporal lobe epilepsy.”

Or, perhaps, God, when he choses to speak or make Himself known to a person individually, stimulates the perfectly operating temporal lobes in the process. Only the damaged temporal lobes induce delutions.

I’ve never dislodged both my eyeballs and aimed the left one directly into the right one, but I imagine it’s a feeling well beyond words. By that same token (on a much greater level), using your brain to examine your brain can only take you so far, and let you rationally record or convey far less.

It’s a great benefit, therefore, to use someone else’s brain as a teaching tool. But watching an area of an image of a mind light up with a CAT scan can never tell you what that really meant, not with the fattest textbook ever published.

In the study of ourselves, the scientific fundamentals of rationality and reliance on demonstrable evidence cannot co-exist. But one can “come close” to absolute knowledge in this field, and there are worse jobs out there.

It seems that simple explanations tend to precede more accurate ones. This is true for some of the abnormalities in this documentary, but it might also be true for how the universe and life and humans came into being.

When I see comments like some of the above, questioning whether some religious people were actually experiencing temporal lobe epilepsy, I think simply: why is there any reason to think god exists in the first place? Perhaps this is just another case of the original explanation(s) being wrong.

See “The Secret Life of Chaos” to start to get a sense of some of these “intention-free” forces that give rise to the world we see.

asalmu alakoum (Peace be upon you).
Islam has one vision. That is as simple as knowing the definition of Islam in English. For those that don’t know it mean ‘The Peace’. It has been around since the beginning of man. It has been perfected 1431 years ago and has a great amount of wisdom behind it. Islam was brought about to correct the people from what was distracting them from understanding other religions. Why does the Quran tell the individual reading it to find anything on this earth to contradict this book? What book would ever ask that? How does a man who suffered so much hardship in his life not write a book that would make him God or even speak about him? Why are there so many scientists trying so hard to deface the Quran? Clearly unsuccessful. The Quran is designed-in Arabic- to not be changed. To the Arabic reader’s eyes they notice when a letter in a word in that book gets everything distorted.
For those to make a comment to mine make sure you have enough research to defend yourself.
Asalamu alakoum (Peace be upon you)

I grew up in a Moselm Family, and every Moslem knows that Pophet Mohammad had Seizures and afterward he would come up with a part of Quran as in his visions he would see or rather think that it’s been said to him by Jebreiel (the Saint or the angel).

its makes you question whether they are simply just accounts of temporal lobe epilepsy as the science of man likes to call it, or if it is indeed a witnessing of profound spiritual content that was intended and exacted by some higher being.

OMG I thought the exact same thing! It makes you wonder how many religions and cults were started based upon a vision by someone with temporal lobe epilepsy.
