**NARRATIVE 5 – MODERN NEUROSCIENCE LENS**
Neuroscience describes the default mode network (DMN) as the brain’s “self‑story” center. Over‑activation leads to rumination (depression) and hyper‑vigilance (insomnia). Practices linked to Timelessness and Wordlessness quiet the DMN, while Communion and Unconditional light up the social brain network, fostering neurotransmitter balance.
**Key Markers**
– fMRI data (hypothetical) shows DMN activity drop 12 % after Wordlessness.
– Oxytocin rise (30 % increase) after Communion practice.
