Perhaps the oddest thing I've looked forward to doing for years is finding and activating my God Spot in my brain. My wish finally came true today. 
If anyone reading this isn't aware of what a "God Spot" is I would say in a nutshell that it is neurological response to magnetically stimulating the brain where many people feel "God like" experiences and describe either unusual illusions or intense religious feelings. The means to stimulate your personal God Spot haven't been easily available to the public because the devices needed are medical instruments called transcranial magnetic stimulators. I built and succesfully tested my own design of such a machine and used it experimentally to see what kind of results I would get by stimulating my temporal lobes with patterned r epetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS),
Using the technique that neuroscientist Michael Persinger at Laurentian University uses to magnetically stimulate the brain: http://www.aetheronline.com/mario/Heretic/insearch.htm it took about 14 minutes to notice anything out of the ordinary. The first effect was of enhanced phosphenes (these are bright lights that appear in a darkened room when you touch your closed eyes) induced by magnetic stimulation of my cortex, and this was followed by a mild ringing of the ears. I eventually began to feel very light and on the verge of laughing but there was no full blown visual hallucinations of angels, Gods, demons or anything like that but I did get that "spiritual kick" feeling that I had sometimes as a dub when I felt rarely at assemblies and "special" times when I felt close to God. It is difficult to describe what I experienced but overall I describe it as a letdown of what I expected. I had hopes of having at least a cool visual hallucination which talked with me. All I got instead was bouncing colored lights and ringing ears, plus pinpricking or goosebump feelings.
I guess I wasn't cut out to be the religious type after all.
