Neuroscientist has a stroke & realises that we are the life force power of universe


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.





Summary

The RIGHT Hemisphere of the Brain:
* Parallel processor
* Thinks in pictures
* Learns through movement of the body
* Experiences the present "NOW" through sensory organs and creates a collage of what this present moment
looks, smells, taste, feels & sounds like
* Connected to one Human family
* Connected state to the energy all around me
* Identity: Connected energy beings "We Are"


The LEFT Hemisphere of the Brain:
* Serial processor
* Thinks linearly and methodically
* Thinks in language
* On -going mind chatter that connects me & my internal world to my external world
* Takes selected information & details in the present "NOW" and associates it with everything in the past
& projects it into the future - all our possibilities
* Separate state
* Identity: Separate Individual "I Am"


Jill's Conclusion:
We are the life force power of the Universe.
We are energy beings connected to the consciousness of our right hemisphere (brain) as one Human family.
