According to the article Neuroscientists find God in mushrooms - 12 Jul 2006 - Technology & Science, one "can safely and fairly reliably occasion what's called a primary mystical experience that may lead to positive changes in a person."
If one believes that all of our thoughts are indeed a result of electro-chemical interactions occuring in the brain, can it not be said that enlightenment is then a specific configuration of the brain? And could you not go further to say that it may be possible to induce that configuration through physical means?
If possible, this would be wonderful. The traditional path to enlightenment is an arduous one. If it is made easier, then more people would become enlightened and the world would be a better place.
What if the state of enlightenment requires that great effort be expended?
