Abstract: To date, studies on brain field are growing and now they have touched the spiritual dimension. Amin divided the brain into five major systems, namely the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, the limbic system, gyrus cingulatus, and temporal lobes. One of the tools that can be used to measure the relationship between the performance of the brain and spirituality is Indonesia Spiritual Health Assessment (ISHA). There are four components of spirituality: spiritual experiences, positive emotion, meaning of life, and rituals. This sudy was aimed to determine the relationship between the performance of brain and the spirituality of religious leaders of Mawar Sharon Church in North Sulawesi. This was a descriptive analytical study with a survey method. Data were analyzed with Spearman correlation test. Subjects were 50 Christian religious leaders of Mawar Sharon Church in North Sulawesi. The results showed that there was a weak but significant correlation between gyrus cingulatus and spiritual experiences as well as positive emotions; and between the temporal lobe and meaning of life and ritual. Conclusion: There was a weak but significant correlation between the brain performance and the human spirituality measured by ISHA in religious leaders of Mawar Sharon Church in North Sulawesi.Keywords: brain, ISHA, spirituality Abstrak: Dewasa ini penelitian mengenai ilmu otak semakin berkembang bahkan hingga saat ini pendekatannya telah menyentuh dimensi spiritual. Amin membagi otak ke dalam lima sistem utama yaitu korteks prefrontalis, ganglia basalis, sistem limbik, girus singulatus, dan lobus temporalis. Salah satu alat yang dapat digunakan untuk mengukur hubungan antara kinerja otak dengan spiritualitas ialah instrumen Indonesia Spiritual Health Assessment (ISHA). Terdapat empat komponen spiritualitas yaitu pengalaman spiritual, emosi positif, makna hidup, dan ritual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kinerja otak dengan spiritualitas pada tokoh agama Gereja Mawar Sharon di Sulawesi Utara. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik dengan metode survey. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Subjek penelitian ialah 50 orang tokoh agama Kristen Gereja Mawar Sharon di Sulawesi Utara. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan hubungan lemah namun bermakna antara girus singulatus dengan pengalaman spiritual dan emosi positif, dan lobus temporalis dengan makna hidup dan ritual.

Abstract: Neuroscience is a science about the nervous system especially the brain. According to Daniel Amen who used SPECT to watch brain activity that was associated with the soul, brain was  divided into five main systems: prefrontal cortex, limbic system, ganglia basalis, gyrus cingulatus, and temporal lobe. A person’s spirituality is related to the purpose and meaning of his/her life as a manifestation of one’s relationship with God. Spirituality has four dimensions, namely the meaning of life, positive emotions, spiritual experiences and rituals. In Indonesia, Indonesia Spiritual Health Assessment (ISHA) is used to assess a person’s spirituality.

Abstract: Brain is the most complex part of human body. It regulates, monitors, and controls our actions and behaviors. By using SPECT, Amen observed the brain activity associated with soul and divided brain into 5 main systems: the prefrontal cortex, limbic system, basal ganglia, cingulatus gyrus (cingulate), and the temporal lobe. Spirituality is an empirical experience related to the presence of God in one's life with its manifestations in interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Spirituality has four dimensions, which are the meaning of life, spiritual experiences, positive emotions, and rituals. The spiritual measuring device used in Indonesia is Indonesia Spiritual Health Assessment (ISHA). This study aimed to determine the correlation between the human brain performance and spirituality measured with ISHA among employees (echelon II and III) in Halmahera Tengah, North Maluku province. This was a descriptive correlative study with a survey method. The Spearman’s rank test showed an inversely correlation (-0.005) with a sig. 0.968 > α = 0.05, which means that there is no correlation between the performance of human brain and spirituality, especially positive emotions and the limbic system. Conclusion: There was no correlation between the performance of the human brain and spirituality especially positive emotions and the limbic system.Keywords: ISHA, brain, spirituality.Absrak: Otak merupakan bagian tubuh manusia yang sangat kompleks serta mengatur, mengawasi, dan mengendalikan tindakan dan perilaku tubuh.

The most persistent difficulty confronting historical interpreters of popular religion in the early modern world is that of establishing the relationship between ideas enunciated by religious leaders and those held by their hearers. The causes of that uncertainty are obvious; where historical materials for the former are plentiful, sources that address the latter are far more difficult to obtain. The great majority of evidence that we have concerning lay religiosity derives from clerical rather than lay sources, and most of it tells us more about religious behavior than belief. Even those rare accounts we have that purport to narrate the spiritual experiences of ordinary people tend to be both unrepresentative and stylized, to the point where the ultimate implications of such materials for understanding popular belief often are far from certain.Problems of documentation lead to equally significant but less often noted distortions in perspective. Where they have lacked adequate source materials for recovering the mental world of the laity, historians almost by necessity have had to approach their task as one of ascertaining the portion and proportion of the expressions of the ministry that lay men and women adopted. Thus deviations from clerical orthodoxy can only be understood as indicative either of a lack of intellectual sophistication on the part of the laity, or, at best, of a latent “folk” worldview that remains almost inaccessible to historical description. Yet there is ample documentation in the historical record that the laity possessed a rather remarkable capacity to integrate seemingly disparate beliefs and actively forge their own understandings of the delivered message and create their own religious symbols.


The problem of tolerance in Indonesia today is something that is warmly discussed. Issues and events leading to an atmosphere of intolerance are rampant in various regions in Indonesia. This is undoubtedly a severe threat to the sustainability of the country and the Indonesian people who have the motto of Unity in Diversity, which contains a broad meaning of diversity in diversity. The purpose of this research is to identify and photograph the local wisdom of the people of North Sulawesi, especially in the city of Tomohon which can be used as values in building an atmosphere of tolerance in the community. In this study, researchers chose to use a qualitative descriptive approach by collecting data through observation, interviews and documentation studies. In this study a qualitative approach is used because it fits the problems studied, and also because: (1) the approach in this study is more flexible, (2) can present data directly, the nature of the relationship between informants and researchers, (3) can adjust and sensitive to the phenomena faced in the field. The sources of data in this study are local government, religious leaders, forums for inter-religious harmony, traditional leaders, community leaders, and local communities and immigrants. This study found that tolerance in the community of the city of Tomohon was maintained because of the strong values contained in local wisdom.

This study was designed to explore the relationship between neurological substrates of emotional intelligence and human behavior. Neuropsychologists posit that human actions are propelled by the neurons, which allow information to travel through the brain and body, in controlling voluntary and involuntary human behaviours. There is evidence that the connection between the amygdala and the neocortex are hug of operations between head and heart, thought and feeling. This circuitry explains why emotion is very crucial to effective thought and decision making. The architecture of the amygdala interferes with the neurons to ensure that each plays effective role as different neurotransmitters. The survey method was used for the study involving 300 respondents; and it was found that neurological substrates of emotional intelligence have positive relationship with human behavior.
