Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight | Video on TED.com
Okay, I just had to share this video. I just watched it in my online classroom. I am not at all a believer in new age philosophy. I don't believe that I am some kind of god or that I am some power in the universe. But as I watched this, I was struck by her description of the right brain and what it was like to be controlled completely by the right brain. Could it be that our right brain is what houses our spirit, which is tapped in to God's presence and when we are tapped in to our right brain (our spirit), this is when we are at one with God and experiencing the unspeakable joy of being in His presence? I have had experiences just like what she describes when I have found myself in His presence. Complete and total ecstasy, and all reasoning and anxiety provoked by the left brain processes fall away. And to hear her talk about feeling as if she was massive and expansive, I think this is just what it would feel like for my spirit to be set free from this earthen vessel when I leave this earth. I think I want to tap into my right brain all the time!
