inspiring video on science and spirituality

An 18 minute video on an awsome talk from Harvard-trained brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor which counts as one of the most memorable TED talks of all time.

I watched this video at...

This is the first time that I have ever heard of Jill.  I really loved how she presente the whole stroke experience on so many levels.  Her ability to move from the left to the right hemisphere in explaining the experience from the viewpoint of her roles and understanding.  A remarkable presentation to behold.  Then to top it all off there is a moral to the story for all of us.  I will remember this video for a long time.  Thanks so much for bring this up in a post.

Namaste... KateQ

Thank you for this video. It helps to understand more clearly, who we are, and how we can choose.

Thanks, Kate and JoyAnna. One of the things I found most remarkable about this video was her sense of humor, which makes at times almost funny a report that might otherwise have sounded tragic, and the audience really responds to it. And special thanks to Andrey or whatever other angel who saved me from the embarassment of not being able to post it by myself...

Hi Doris

I'm so happy for you! I liked this video but I had no idea it could be so powerful as to ban fear out of one's mind. Your comments, along with the previous ones, are making me appreciate her talk even more!
