„And the wholy spirit came down upon them“ is written in the Bible – but what does that exactly mean? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

In the Bible it says:

“When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied”

Richard R. Davidson observed increased gamma wave activity in high level meditators:

And Daniel Goleman said about people with high gamma wave activity in their brain:

“some call it enlightenent, liberated, awake (or the holy spirit came down on them?)… „we do not know what this means experientially, but we do kno it is quiet extraordinary:“

Meditators with high gamma wave activity report of altered states of minds.
Did people in the Bible which reported that the holy spirit came down to them have increased gamma wave activity in their brains?
They appeared extraordinary to other people.

They spoke in a different language.
They prophesied.
Which means that they said something about the future.
Which also means that they where intuitive.
But as we often observed, things prophets said not always came true.
But prophets often said what COULD happen.

In Corinthians 12:10 it says about the holy spirit:

“The same Spirit gives other people power to do miracles. Other people can speak messages from God. Some people can recognize whether spirits are good or bad. Some people can speak in different kinds of languages. And other people can explain what those languages mean.“

The Dalai Lama is said by some people to have the power to heal people and to do miracles.
But he himself rejects this.
But there must be something special about the Dalai Lama that people say these things about him.
And no wonder, it was the Dalai Lama who triggered the above mentioned scientific studies about meditation.
Peter grew up in a Roman Catholic family:

008. Our values

And when we look closely at the Bible and the holy scriptures and look into the latest scientific findings about meditation, do we not find new interpretations about what happened which eventually do not contradict scientific findings?
