'God is in The Neurons' documents the research that has been the reason why Chiren Boumaaza, aka 'Athene', disappeared from his usual viral YouTube series for the past year. Known mainly for his record-setting World of Warcraft and online poker stunts and his extravagant character in his videos, Boumaaza had long been seen as a genius by some, a 'troll' by many and an incredibly capable gamer and entertainer by most.
Developments in neuroscience and sociology from the past decades have shed light on many aspects of human psychology that are only now beginning to be discussed in the fields of 'self-help' and self-development. While there is a lot of popular literature on the subject from authors that range from popular lifecoaches such as Tony Robbins to spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Chiren saw a huge lack of material that takes a purely scientific approach. 'God is in The Neurons' makes important correlations about mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, memory, social dynamics, evolution, altruism and identity.
Edited, Directed & Narrated by Reese Leysen
Based on research by Chiren Boumaaza

Comment by Pier S.F. on January 28, 2012 at 11:33am This documentary was well-made, and it was inspiring to me when I watched it. Though, mixing the expectations of a theory of everything in the form of science and what is known in science to inspire self-development was not the best move, imho.
Comment by Ivan C. Wiegand on January 23, 2012 at 9:56pm Is there another location I can download the 720p version from, now that MegaUpload is shut-down? I looked for torrents but none are being seeded. I have a 60Mb connection at home and I would be more than happy to start seeding a new torrent if I could get the original file.
My first post:
I can only quote Ben Graylight on February 10, 2011:
"The video editing, scripting, and storytelling exceed the quality of most of the "Science" shows on American television today. I am completely blown away by the visual design and overall creative direction of the documentary. Thank you for creating it an sharing it openly, and thank you for having the courage to visualize/verbalize your ideas in such an elaborate way."
You have an astounding talent.
Comment by Lev on April 26, 2011 at 6:20pm amazing, all this info popped into my head before I watched this and i wrote a lot on all the discussed themes in the film. Then I watched the movie... in a awh, I didn't have to write as much coz its all here nice and neat..this is incredible, just amazing
Also after coming to a certain level of awareness, how do we deal with our world's current economy on a collective scale? How do we manage resources and lead sustainable lives, diminish export and import production etc..

Comment by Samuel Adam Alder on March 25, 2011 at 4:06pm i think this sums it up quite well:
empedocles (ancient greek): God is a circle who's centre is everywhere, and circumference no where.
Comment by Giovanni Ukmar on March 21, 2011 at 12:30pm No joke!!! 0_o
Amazing that is all I can say...
Just one question. If your theory is true then Memory continues after death...ever expanding. how do you explain that, even after the brain stops working?
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Regards,
I have watched this video a couple of times now and there are a lot of questions / skepticisms I may have about specific concepts mentioned, but of one thing I am certain:
