The problem that I would like to take seriously and make clear is the possibility that there could be a causally influential biological explanation for spiritual experiences. The scope of this thesis is to also consider the implications of such an explanation. Working specifically with the research done by Dr. Rick Strassman, I would like to tease out these implications of having a contender to take the role of a “spirit molecule.” This goes beyond the epistemic issues that are involved with the discussion of spiritual experiences. Instead, this analysis would take into account the metaphysical implications of having brain processes or functions that cause spiritual experiences. In essence, the phenomenological data becomes immensely important as neuroscience continually attempts to develop models the sufficiently explain the quality (rawdata) of experience.
