Description

Explore the connection between historical religious practices and modern science in The Mystic Mind. This book provides a unique look at the lives of medieval holy persons through a collaboration between a medieval historian and a professor of psychiatry. By applying modern biological and psychological research to historical accounts, the text offers an illuminating study of how extreme devotion shaped the human experience. Readers can examine the relationship between mystical experiences and the physical practices of mortification. The study looks at how specific actions, such as sleep deprivation, extreme starvation, and the laceration of the flesh, influenced brain function and produced altered states of consciousness. Drawing from a massive database of over 1,400 medieval holy persons along with in-depth studies of individual saints, this work provides a deep look into the history of medieval spirituality and the biological realities of asceticism.
