Jill Taylor has a schizophrenic brother, which is why she became a neuroanatomist. When she had a stroke, she had an opportunity to discover, as a scientist and a human being, a whole new dimension of Being-ness and possibility. This is awesome. I still haven't got my jaw back in its usual hinge.
Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight
Access: Public
I cry every time I watch this.
“these are the we inside of me…which would you choose?…which do you choose?
the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemisphere, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be.”
She's amazing.
She literally jumped into my skin to transmit that there is a whole different dimension of being ‘out there’, and it is possible to step into it at will - the Circuitry of Peace, the one-ness with sheer energy. It is probably among the most moving sharing I’ve ever experienced and what moved me was that even though she electrified, there is a glass wall between her experience and my everyday experience, and that I can comprehend it, but at this time I have no access to the actual experience. As they say, comprehension and understanding are the second prize - the Booby Prize. I have no access to the prize, and that makes me yearn for it - and sad for myself.
More LSD, that's what the world needs.
Failing that, good Indian handmade paper - 30% jungle weed. :-)
