You guys have got to see this...

My stroke of insight
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.

Her story is absolutely amazing and it shows
that we are Bigger than our Bodies.

I got the link on an email and was just amazed and amused by her description of the experience and of who we are. :clap: :clap: :clap: :cheers:

This is powerful! :woohoo:

I see you're in the bay area. do you ever go to LA? I'm moving there for film (possibly) and want to know what it's like. I heard it's awesome when you attract the right people (considering it's the most superficial place on earth lol)

[Nightprincessa]

Hey zesty... yeah, I've been there many times, but haven't in the last couple of years... it's only a short flight away though... :cool:

And, yes, it's very superficial... but you know how to attract the right kind of people, and then again, it's all a projection... you can create it the way you want it! :mrgreen:

Go for it, you know you can do it.. it'll be great! :woohoo:

Martika love :heart:

Thank you for that video Princess Martika! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had never been aware of the profound differences between our hemispheres. It was very enlightening and enriching to see this woman moved so deeply by the message she was speaking. She was so incredibly eloquent in her descriptions of what she experienced... I felt as if it were happening to me! What a beautiful thing! :heart:

You are most welcome Galen! :heart: You put it into words a lot better than I could have ever! :kiss:

Love :loveflag:

Maybe it would be better if we posted things of this nature here on this forum cuz otherwise, they can be overlooked somewhere else.

Sorry about that, I never saw yours. :o
