I have presented evidence in the past that showed that a neurological decentering process is central to religious/spiritual experiences (RSEs). In particular decentering gives rise to, shapes and constrains so-called liminal states of consciousness. In this paper/chapter I systematically discuss potential links between these liminal states of consciousness and the philosophy and theology of the metaxu or the in-between or liminal state of the consciousness and personality of the human being. Authors discussed are William Desmond, Simone Weil, Eric Voegelin and of course Plato. I see the decentering neuroscience literature a clear case where neuroscience can profitably deepen some aspects of a theological anthropology-in this case those aspects of consciousness shaped by the metaxu.
