Summary:
"Technology can now control the spiritual experience. This is a journey through the high-tech aids for psychological growth that are changing our
world
, while exploring the safety, authenticity and ethics of this
new
world
. We already rely on technology to manage our health, sleep, relationships, and finances, so it's no surprise that we're turning to technological aids for the spiritual journey. From apps that help us pray or meditate, to cybernauts seeking the fast track to nirvana through magnetic brain stimulation, we are on the brink of the most transformative revolution in the practice of religion: an era in which we harness the power of "
spirit
tech
" to deepen our experience of the divine.
Spirit
tech

world
: - Find out how increasingly popular "wearables" work on your brain, promising a shortcut to transformative meditative states. - Meet the inventor of the "God Helmet" who developed a tool to increase psychic skills, and overcome fear, sadness, and anger. - Visit churches that use ayahuasca as their sacrament and explore the booming industry of psychedelic tourism. - Journey to a mansion in the heart of Silicon Valley where a group of scientists and entrepreneurs are working feverishly to bring brain-based
spirit
tech
applications to the masses. - Discover a research team who achieved brain-to-brain communication between individuals thousands of miles apart, harnessing neurofeedback techniques to sync and share emotions among group members.
Spirit
Tech
offers readers a compelling glimpse into the future and is the definitive guide to the fascinating
world
of
new
innovations for personal transformation, spiritual growth, and pushing the boundaries of human nature"--From publisher.
