Neat brain stuff. :)  (before you click here, there is some sort of popup on that page, in case you hate them intensely and don't have a blocker.) Scans of monks' brains show meditation alters structure, functioning

Older information about how to reproduce effects of religious experiences using sound, electromagnetic radiation ("nothing more powerful than what you'd get by putting your head next to a computer monitor."  I was like 'woah' and moved my head back.) and electrical shocks to the brain: God and the Brain .  Oddly enough, that journalist comes to the conclusion that religious experiences become suspect because they're just about our brains getting out of whack.  I'd have thought it would be just as possible, if not more so, to conclude that our brains are amazingly complex organs that can sense and interact with more things than are dreamed of in his philosophy. 
I thought I was despairing on this story, before.  I didn't know the meaning of the word.  Right now I want to throw the whole thing out the window and start over.  With a new idea, if possible.  Maybe I want to run off and write fanfic for a while.  Right this minute I'm going to get dressed and go out for a cup of coffee.  So.  There.

Okay, so it's still not great, but I wrote over 4,000 words, today.  I feel SO much better now that I've stopped attempting to write linearly.  Apparently that's just not my forte' - I can't do stories in an order that makes sense like SOME people.  *glares envyously in [livejournal.com profile] daegaer's direction*
