How it feels to have a stroke
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Mar 13, 2008
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.

depersonalization (the loss of a coherent self).. helps you appreciate balance.. the balance of polar opposites..
you can never truly appreciate diversity and life through a calculative, scientific POV.. you need to be irrational to understand rationality

This is so beautiful. I am an aw by this very idea that we are free and are mind only see an illusion of reality and that are very essences is embody of energy and that we are one and beautiful. Thank you for your speech it feels as if I been awaken from ignorance of inner being. I hope your research find the truth of conscience and the mind.
