YOUR BRAIN IS THE GATEWAY FOR YOUR SOUL
NEUROTHEOLOGY
Neurotheology is an emerging field of study and practice that seeks to understand the relationship between Brain science and Theology .
A Neurtheologist is a specialized theologian who focuses on the whole human, helping those struggling to tap into the power within and beyond themselves to reach LIFE. The central question neurotheology addresses is whether the issue lies in your Brain, your Soul, or both. The Friedel Family Foundation supports educational programs providing education in this field from lay programs to Post-Graduate level through Scholarships.
Seven Pillars of Neurotheology: (by Rabbi Dr. Rich Friedel PhD, ThD, DM )
1. A healthier brain means a more balanced brain
2. A balanced brain builds more brain reserve
3. More brain reserve opens perception, allowing for growth
4. A broader perception opens a broader prospective bridge to theology
5. An understanding of theology (LIFE's philosophy) reduces fear
6. A reduction in fear equals security, and the ability to understand existence's meaningful purpose
7. Understanding the purpose of existence allows for the discovery of what is beyond existence, the meaning of "LIFE."
