Diksha and Brain Scans

Here are some excerpts of a report neurophysicist Christian Opitz wrote citing the findings of scientific research he did while in Golden City in October, 2005.

It seems that diksha first installs the neurobiological hardware of enlightenment and the software in form of the experience slowly catches up.

"This makes a lot of sense to me. So often people have access to great awakenings, but do not have the prepared brain to sustain and integrate such awakenings.

All this was totally new and quite unlike me. All since India. [read entire article here]
