http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Try LSD. No really, try it. Do it for science.

Aldous Huxley and many of his friends and peers were experimenting with Mescalin, and later, LSD and made exactly the same presentation that this amazing speaker is making.

I was shocked when this neurologist started saying the words "spirit" and "nirvana". I love when otherwise scientifically inclined people start to tell us about the spiritual reality behind everything. Skeptics may deride her but her story has truth and power.

My father 14 years ago, when he was 65 had an stroke on the right part of his brain, ever since he became a different person, a true monster with 7 heads, he has done all possible to hurt financially my mother, only his ego and intellectual part is still intact, emotionally he is dead.... , he has destroyed his family in all possible ways, when I think of him I cant help feeling hatred for him and hope he goes soon, a true sad family story with a horrible ending still not over. He´s only EGO .

Nope. That was my point. We are one with everything and she went to that 'space' for a moment and is trying to articulate the experience. I think she does that rather well.

Or maybe this is ancient knowledge and that's just another story to perpetuate it. Why else do you think the church is so ridiculous? They take it for fact.
