Hi,
It's so interesting that chemicals give us such real effects. I mean, an NDE gives many people such a peaceful "knowing" of life after death, and we know that this experience, although so real in the spirit world, is triggered by a chemical reaction in the brain. It's a spiritual experience triggered by a physical response... and where is the spirit in the physical world?
I wonder about the after-effects of this chemical overdose. I wonder how it is that people can go for a whole lifetime (days, months or years afterwards) completely changed.
Not everyone, though. Which would appear to substantiate a physical basis for the spirit world (sigh).
I get so confused with all this stuff.
But I take it I wouldn't necessarily want to use this neurotransmitter the way I use serotonin or norepinephrine, to manage my depression?
