"the Ego" in scientific terms

roosh

Interesting video posted in the A & A forum which basically gives a neurological explanation for the phenomenon referred to as "the Ego", and in effect outlines the benefits of meditation.

I re-posted it in the Buddhism forum but wasn't sure if everyone here checks that out, but it is a really fascinating video so I thought it was worth sharing - apologies to the mods if this is in breach of the rules, but I genuinely believe it is something well, well worth watching.

The corruption in ego results corruption in human behavior resulting injustice in human actions...

Omentum

Fascinating. "Neurons, the gateways to Heaven"

Balance ftw.

By the way, I don't think "God is in the Neurons" is the greatest title for this video.

I think anyone, can become more open watching it, athiests, agnostics - hardcore christians.

There is absolutely no mention of "God" in the video.

I completely agree.

The video is not without its irony; it appears to attempt to dispel the validity of spiritual beliefs, but it completely reinforces what [much of] spiritual philosophy says about the Ego and the practice of meditation.
