 On the Neurological basis of Spirituality

Sun May 11, 2008 at 09:00:37 AM PDT

I spent the early half of  Saturday, May 10th at an annual conference sponsored by The Humanists of Florida Association. This event was co-sponsored by the Sarasota Congregation for Humanistic Judaism; The Gulf Coast Humanist Association and The Humanists of Sarasota Bay.

My chief focus of interest that morning was a presentation on "The Neurological Basis of Spirituality" delivered by Alan Grindal, M.D.  Dr. Grindal, who was previously a Professor of Neurology, is now retired and with retirement freed time has been enhancing his knowledge of the neurobiology of human spirituality.
