A powerful, heart-wrenching story of friendship & love ' This is a story about me, Clementine, & my friends: a panther called Levi, a pelican called Lola & a turtle called Jimmy.

If Buddha had been in an MRI machine & not under the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment, what would we have seen on the monitor? In THE GOD IMPULSE, Kevin Nelson, a neurologist with three decades' experience examining the biology behind human spirituality, deconstructs the spiritual self, uncovering its origin in the most primitive areas of our brain. Through his revolutionary studies on near-death experience, Nelson has discovered that spiritual experience is an incidental product of several different neurological processes acting independently. When we feel close to God or sense the presence of departed relatives, we may believe that we are standing at the border of this world & the next as individual, autonomous, rational creatures-touching God.

THE GOD IMPULSE takes us on a journey into what Nelson calls the borderlands of consciousness. The book offers the first comprehensive, empirically-tested, peer-reviewed examination of the reasons we are capable of near-death experience, out-of-body experience, & the mystical states produced by hallucinogenic drugs. ...
