    There’s neuropsychology studies on states of religious ecstasy and euphoria. The theory is that essentially the brain fucks itself up on an excess of dopamine and our own endogenic version of DMT. Certain religious sects actually train for and aim at producing such states. Fasting, meditation and music are facilitators of the state, and it is not casual that all three are part of most religious practices.
