For the past 18 months, I have been on an extended sabbatical. I have retired from my full time practice of pediatrics and moved to the East Coast primarily to devote myself to new research and writing on near death experiences.
At age 53, I have been devoting myself to one of the most challenging spiritual experiences that any of us can undertake, raising an infant/toddler. I have taken time off to stay home with my wife and spend time with my family including my adult brothers and sisters (whom I have found require just as much time as children), and specifically to be home with Baby Melody.
My website will reflect my new interests and availability for lectures, conferences, working with small groups and developing new research projects.
The following review is from 9/1 Booklist Reviews:
Morse, Melvin and Perry, Paul. Where God Lives: The Science of the Paranormal and How Our Brains Are Linked to the Universe.
From years of working with children who have had near-death experiences, Morse knows that mystical occurrences have a profound and positive effect on people's lives. He and Perry have written three previous books on this subject, and here take a scientific approach to understanding our relationship with God by focusing on the brain's right temporal lobe. Morse believes that this portion of the brain interfaces directly with the universe, and calls it the "God Spot." An area of unlimited potential, the right temporal lobe, the authors explain, is receptive to information found in patterns of energy emanating from the universal mind. The source of intuition and psychic talents, this area is latent in most people because these abilities have been dismissed as superstition and overruled by the left brain, or rational mind. The authors do not attempt to prove or explain how the "God Spot" works, but they do give many examples of how this area can be stimulated, not just through mystical experiences, but also deliberately, through simple, time-honored acts such as prayer and meditation, with inspiring results.
