I don't know if this a biology topic so forgive me for any mistakes. I am currently studying medical science at university and whenever we come across topic concerning the brain I lose myself in research. I understand that the brain intricate and million things happen at once so there is a lot on the topic. If I was to research anything on the brain, link after link, I will reach something that completely blows my mind. I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of psychologists that are very unorthodox in their thinking processes ( if that makes any sense).
Here lies my question, if I was to ask a neurologist about the functionality of the brain he would respond with an understanding of physiology and explain how certain stimuli and chemical can influence perception. However, if I directed a similar question to a psychologist the response I will receive is somewhat, mystical to say the least. why?
I recall reading that a certain psychologist by the name of Richard (can not remember the rest), claimed that he experienced a moment of Euphoria in which he said he saw the whole universe in its entirety, gaining a sense of immortality and immense knowledge. He called this experience cosmic consciousness and compiled a book on this subject. He went further to claim that there were only ten people in the history of mankind who experienced this and amongst them was Jesus, and Muhammed (the prophet of the Islamic faith). This guy lived a while back from the modern age.
Does caring and studying the mentally ill rub off on the carer to the extent that they begin to think alike but without the actual disease? [If this question is in the wrong place or not allowed please remove]
