Quote:Does Marrs also conclude that spiritual experiences are brain tricks like this?

I don't know who Marrs is, but they're brain tricks. One hundred percent. They can seem so convincingly real, while they're happening, that after it's over, you will have no idea how that happened, or why. But it isn't real. None of it is. Your brain is quite literally playing tricks on you.
