A Brief Introduction to the Brain and Paradigm of Melchizedek by Grant Gillett, Jeffery J. Davis
How can a new paradigm, the Paradigm of Melchizedek, shape scientific research in a completely new direction, in a way that is based on Values rather than unhealthy scepticism? A distorted kind of scepticism about anything beyond the bare facts as described by a limited scientific paradigm is widespread in the academic world and has shaped the brain structure of many scientists to favour a perception of reality strongly biased towards promissory materialism. This paradigm comes as an antidote to that tendency and is geared towards a greater synthesis between ancient and modern spiritual wisdom and scientific truth, in order to advance a cognitive science that allows an inclusive study of the neurobiology of values like Truth, Love and Unity and propel human consciousness towards the manifestation of a peaceful social environment.

Towards a Cognitive Neuroscience of Peace and Universal Values by Jeffery J. Davis
A human being is a combination of an animal and a spiritual being and can only become conscious of higher Mind and Voice, when the proper spiritual conditions are fulfilled in his or her life. These conditions enable a cognitive map that gives access (with the brain and heart working in unison) to a global awareness and perception of the dynamic interplay between the Physical and the Spiritual domains. Neuroscience in the future, may contribute to humanity by identifying which life styles, diets, activities, qualities, states of being and thought forms are more conducive to such cognitive maps, and how some brain-heart system’s capabilities like, communication being to being (telepathy), remote viewing, healing, sustained positive emotions and the perception of a continuous flow of synchronistic events, are a consequence of a healthy human brain being “rewired” to broadcast higher Mind and, an “open heart” sustaining feelings of Love and Compassion.

Spiritual Values and Their Biological, Philosophical and Physical Implications on Behaviour by Jeffery J. Davis
Character, Identity and Personality are spiritual attributes and as such, they are linked to a Spiritual Living Being. These attributes survive in eternity along with the survival of the soul of a human being. When a human being still identifies him or herself with biological processes, he or she is veiled to The Creator’s existence and his or her Spiritual Identity is still a potential reality. In this Essay, I intend to clarify how different aspects and dimensions, both internal and external, may in the life of a human being influence the organisation of the brain systems at a neurobiological level thus shaping perception of reality in relation to the interplay between Spiritual and Behavioural Values.

A Cognitive Linguistic Approach to Embodied Spirituality by Jeffery J. Davis
In this Essay, I will illustrate how I experience a spiritual life as a human being, how language is limited to transmit or transfer this experience and yet, once imparted to the human being, it plays a relevant role to either support or interfere with the awareness of a spiritual dimension in human life. I will also show how some of the recent findings in Cognitive Science are clarifying what it means to be spiritually aware in relationship to body functioning, and human creative capacities and how they relate to my own experience.
