There is a TEDS Talk video of a neurologist, Jill Bolte Taylor, describing the morning when she had a stroke on the left side of her brain. During the talk she describes the loss of functions, the loss of the ability to hear, the loss of the ability to talk, and the great insights she got from the experience. It is absolutely amazing that a decade later she has made a full recovery and is able to share her experience.
The spiritual aspect of Dr. Taylor’s experience impressed me. Her experience was that much more compelling because she is a neurologist and therefore had prior clinical knowledge of the condition. In the Ted talk she makes numerous references to her prior knowledge and you can tell that she is very happy that she got to have such an experience and lived to tell the tale.
I have attached the link for Dr. Taylors TED talk and I encourage you to watch it. While watching I urge you to forget yourself, forget what you believe is sensible and think about her message on a deeper level.
