Fascinating... I always thought this "spiritual" experiences were nothing more than hallucinations caused by chemicals in the brain. Thanks for the info, will read the sources you listed.

You haven't heard of the God gene?    :)

 The  idea that "spiritual experiences are nothing more than a hallucinations  caused by chemicals in the brain" is also a hallucination caused by chemicals in the brain

What does DMT have to do with genetics? IF you want to worship some desert dweller's hallucinations be my guest.

Just because drugs can make you see an  pink elephant that not really there does not mean that elephants are not real.  An inbalance in the body (or brain damage) can make someone who is normally happy to have suicide thoughts which it why we say "That person is not themselves."  Scientist themselves speak as if their thought are more than a butch of chemical in their brains.
