Part IILet’s examine Michelangelo’s - The Creation of Adam (1508-1512) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
Dr. Meshberger, M.D. described what millions had overlooked for centuries - an anatomically accurate image of the human brain was portrayed behind God. On close examination, borders in the painting correlate with sulci in the inner and outer surface of the brain, the brain stem, the basilar artery, the pituitary gland and the optic chiasm. God's hand does not touch Adam, yet Adam is already alive as if the spark of life is being transmitted across a synaptic cleft.
Below the right arm of God is a sad angel in an area of the brain that is sometimes activated on PET scans when someone experiences a sad thought.
The amygdala!!How did Michelangelo know that the amygdala existed and even if he was expert (which he was at dissecting human bodies… without PET scans and ability to do coordinated operations on a living being, how would he know that you can click the amygdala on for joy and off for sadness. Yet there it is a
sad angel, telling those with eyes to see… he Michelangelo knew exactly how the brain worked…!!! And… he was sad that few would understand the depth of the knowledge that he had to impart those desiring spiritual knowledge of the Truth. And!! In defiance of the Holy Roman Church, he thumbed his nose at authority and used their money to blatantly present to the world subversive teachings right in the middle of the enemy camp. Not only that, there are twelve panels… each telling a contrary story to that of Holy Roman teaching and they didn’t see it. And still don’t!!!
