Temporal lobe and religious experiences The right temporal lobe and associated limbic lobe structures as the biological interface with an interconnected universe Melvin Morse M.D. Associate Professor of Pediatrics Deep right temporal lobe and associated limbic lobe structures are clearly linked to human religious experiences of all types, including conversion experiences and near death experiences. Simply because religious experiences are brain based does not automatically lessen or demean their spiritual significance. Indeed, the findings of neurological substrates to religious experiences can be argued to provide evidence for their objective reality. I speculate that our right temporal lobe allows humans to interact with a timeless space-less non-local reality.☀
