Hi afriendofall. I couldn't help but respond after reading your post. Perhaps the science you're studying is based on limited and closed minded perspectives of those scientists.

David Bohm, Professor William Tiller PHD, Bruce Lipton PHD, and many references made through Greg Braden's work may assist in leading you to the correlation that that Dr. Taylor refers to. Perhaps those will help although studying the science is nowhere close to experiencing it. That's the only "true way" to know.

Totally amazing and extremly helpful. My skull fracture , subarachnoid hemorage,causing a stroke in the right hemisphere is different in so many ways the good Dr.s book is extremily helpful in so many ways i can only suggest one read and identify with and not compare with. hank-you again.

Hi ChuckDanes

Thanks for informing about David Bohm, Professor William Tiller PHD, Bruce Lipton PHD, etc. Though I am too busy in my own work, but if I get time I would try to look at their work available on net.

I liked your comment "studying the science is nowhere close to experiencing it. That's the only "true way" to know. " :)

Thanks again.

what a simplistic anatomy of feelings, emotions, creativity and the "Nirvana". A very good marketing ability for selling biological model of spirituality , unhappily so anecdotal to learn anything about this experience and be able of generalization as science must do

is the universe so big or are we so small?.....the sun planets etc....electrons neutrons etc....mmmm strange eh? what ever we are looking at is just beyond human comprehension!

So.. basecally what you are saying is that you are a brain specialist, right?

Good to know.

[afriendofall]

I don't think brain works in left & right hemispheres so simply & specifically. There are people who have just one hemisphere working & they can perform all jobs like a normal person. So one hemisphere performing the job of two hemispheres.

Her talk is not so scientific though I wish it was so since it would make life so very easy.

Hence all I can say is, on spiritual plane, concepts of Nirvana etc. are attractive & comforting but scientific evidence as per my knowledge defies her theory.
