I did a search on the internet a while back in my studies of current Christian related problems with psychology and psychiatry. There are some areas they have been keeping relatively quiet on the internet hits that are returned from searches. That area I could not find recently was the imaging of brain activity patterns which may be used to study brain areas and what they do in the spiritual and natural world for the perceptions of people which could be used in brain activity altering medicines.
I did find some rather alarming information presented by NIH.gov located here: Neurobiology of Spirituality
In the abstract it states the following:
"Spiritual practices have been proposed to have many beneficial effects as far as mental health is concerned. The exact neural basis of these effects is slowly coming to light and different imaging techniques have elucidated the neural basis of meditative practices. The evidence though preliminary and based on studies replete with methodological constraints, points toward the involvement of the prefrontal and parietal cortices. The available data on meditation focus on activated frontal attentional network. Neuroimaging studies have shown that meditation results in an activation of the prefrontal cortex, activation of the thalamus and the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus and a resultant functional deafferentation of the parietal lobe. The neurochemical change as a result of meditative practices involves all the major neurotransmitter systems. The neurotransmitter changes contribute to the amelioration of anxiety and depressive symptomatology and in part explain the psychotogenic property of meditation. This overview highlights the involvement of multiple neural structures, the neurophysiological and neurochemical alterations observed in meditative practices."
And what I understood from that is that they believe there is some benefit in psychiatry and psychology to promoting something that appears to be Eastern Religious practices of Dragons, Serpents and other Demonic influences. I certainly hope eastern meditation is not being taught to the mentally ill patients under anyone's care. And that includes any eastern practices that social workers might use that are not Christian and may be unGodly. God is all knowing and all wise and is not a fool. He has issued wisdom and knowledge in the Bible itself related to certain issues.
If you read the abstract and understood it correctly you should have seen that they observed brain activity during eastern meditations of patients or study subjects. And they believe somehow, which is suspicious, that they are spiritual influences involved.
I considered the real possibility that study subjects are used to check the exact brain center activity areas to reproduce with psychiatric medication spiritual influence gained thru eastern meditation. They would then have to test medications on probably the mentally ill and view the brain imaging to see if that medication lit up those same brain centers. And then question the subjects with specific questions that related to the desired effects.
And the Christian dilemma I saw is that eastern religion is not beneficial to a person if demonic forces are influencing the subject. Does Satan or his devils heal anyone? No they do not. Can we force God to appear? Probably not. Can we coerce God to appear by manipulation of the brain thru medication?

I had recently finished a very traumatic new medication I was prescribed by my psychiatric doctor. It was called Rexulti. And the experience was disabling as it opened up a tunnel to Satan harassing me spiritually from a distance that was not too far away. It compromised my brain and associated thoughts and caused sever fatigue in the body that caused me to have to, within a few hours, sleep. After sleep it would be gone. And hearing from Satan and denying the message from him was both traumatic and exhausting. It was traumatic to hear the message, and exhausting to counter it mentally so that it didn't enter my heart area. And those conduit to Satan episodes happened about on average 10 days out of the month. And they would last for 2-5 hours.
I am back on medication that did not cause that effect which did allow me to work and be a function member of society some years ago. I was told while I was taking Rexulti that the visions and communication with Satan was a progression of my illness. After it was gone on the new medicine I told my doctor and he said nothing. But was happy it was gone.
Was that medication, which was from Germany as created, involved in that process I previously described? Not sure as I never was involved in any studies and it was a FDA approved medication. But after investigation of the issues I am suspicious.
