The God spot is a phrase that has been used by some scientists to describe the place in the brain where they believe spiritual, religious, and mystical experiences originate as a result of stimulation, a lesion, or a tumor in that part of the brain. More generally, scientists almost always regard mind/consciousness as a function of the brain. When studying the large body of research done on this topic over the years, students often lose sight of just how radical A Course in Miracles’ thought system is, especially in its teaching that spirit and flesh have nothing to do with each other. The discussion in this class therefore centers on the importance of identifying the purpose of everything that goes on in our personal lives as well as in the world so that we can fulfill the purpose of the Course itself, which is to get us back to the mind, where we can then choose the true God spot, the right mind where the Holy Spirit is, the Thought of the Atonement that connects us back to the God Whom we never truly left.
