Scientist Tells of Unity

Bob Seal at Non-Duality Cartoons has posted an 18-minute video made by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a trained and published neuroanatomist. She specializes in the postmortem investigation of the human brain. In 1996, she suffered a massive stroke and has spent the period since then recovering, or "rebuilding her brain--from the inside out."

Her book blurb relates what happened to her:

Jill Bolte Taylor was a 37-year-old Harvard-trained and published brain scientist when a blood vessel exploded in her brain. Through the eyes of a curious neuroanatomist, she watched her mind completely deteriorate whereby she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Because of her understanding of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Jill completely recovered her mind, brain and body. In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey, Jill shares with us her recommendations for recovery and the insight she gained into the unique functions of the right and left halves of her brain. Having lost the categorizing, organizing, describing, judging and critically analyzing skills of her left brain, along with its language centers and thus ego center, Jill’s consciousness shifted away from normal reality. In the absence of her left brain’s neural circuitry, her consciousness shifted into present moment thinking whereby she experienced herself “at one with the universe.”

If you watch the video, you'll actually see and hear Dr. Taylor describe her experience and observe her knowledge.

I'm wondering about reading her book My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey--which at Amazon has seven reviews that rated it with 5 stars (the best), with no other reviews. Maybe I'll have to buy another book!
