Absorption, Mentalizing, and Mysticism
Research suggests trait absorption, individual differences in Theoryof Mind (ToM), and orthopraxical training are importantfor explaining a variety of extraordinary experiences typicallyassociated with religion.

To the extent that religiosity buffers against mortality awareness on defensiveness, the present results demo…
