    Liberals are not the only ones to smoke pot.

    Anyway, it's a very interesting article.

    The experience isn't unique to astronauts; it's a universal effect, felt by people of all religions. It's caused by suppression of activity in the posterior superior parietal lobe, which normally generates a sense of apartness from the world (my hand vs. the keyboard), and orients your body image in space and time.
