This is your brain on God.

Big ups to the homie Brek.One (www.myspace.com/brekonesupreme | www.respectthegld.com). Bumped into him at JK’s bday party. Dude is doing big things! He DJed at the in-store w/ Kid Sister at Concepts on Friday. Look out for his clothing label!

Stumbled on this article while drinking my Monday morning coffee (the most essential dose all week):

The sensation described as “having a religious experience” is merely a side effect of our bicameral brain’s feverish activities. Simplified considerably, the idea goes like so: When the right hemisphere of the brain, the seat of emotion, is stimulated in the cerebral region presumed to control notions of self, and then the left hemisphere, the seat of language, is called upon to make sense of this nonexistent entity, the mind generates a “sensed presence.”

And they created a device that is able to trigger these experiences. So “religious experiences” may just be “nothing more than static from our impressively large cerebrums.” I didn’t have a religious experience from seeing this picture, but its amazing, where can I find more art like this?
