God-sense

What leads some minds to be more receptive to God? Why are some people more likely to recognize and perceive God?

Researchers have been using PET scans and MRI's to study brain activity in religiously-inclined people. They found higher levels of activity in certain areas of the brain during spiritual thoughts. A few years ago, there was a lot of scientific buzz about a 'God Spot' in the brain's temporal lobe that enabled humans to have faith. Now they think that many different areas of the brain work together in providing our God-sense.

I think that many areas of brain function can be improved by frequent usage. Some people have trained their ears to recognize even slight variations in musical notes. Professionals in the fragrance industry train their sense of smell to distinguish between hundreds of different scents. Similarly, I think we can nurture our spiritual intuition if we are passionate and disciplined about it. The more we seek God, the more we know Him, the better the chances become of developing our God-sense.
