The Mind Possessed: A Physiology Of Possession, Mysticism And Faith Healing presents a compelling scientific examination of extreme psychological phenomena. This seminal work chronicles the physiological underpinnings of states often attributed to supernatural causes, including religious ecstasy, mystical experiences, and faith healing. William Sargant argues that these profound alterations in consciousness can be understood through the lens of brain function and stress responses. The text illustrates how various forms of psychological conditioning and physiological stressors can induce states resembling possession or spiritual awakening. It offers a provocative and insightful perspective on the intersection of mind, body, and belief, challenging conventional interpretations with a rigorous scientific approach.
