Best Video I’ve Seen This Year
March 20, 2008 by Jonathan Brink
The following video is a must watch. It provides an intriguing understanding into how our brain processes information. (I’m a recovering left brain addict.) But it also deals deeply with the connection of the brain to the soul.
“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.”
And please, as you watch it, push aside any desire to judge the enlightened spiritual aspects that may be triggered and realize that Jill is first a human experiencing this. My favorite quote is:
“In that moment I knew I was no longer the choreographer of my life.”
You can watch this complete video at TED.
That was utterly incredible to watch, really to partake of, more of an experience than a disconnected “watching.” I’m in awe…thanks for sharing this.
