Brain scientist studies own stroke..finds secret of universe?

YouTube Link

Very interesting , yes she gets a little emotional but i am sure many people can connect on many different levels to the feeling of the 'right' side.

Without help she would have died, i dont think it would be prudent to completely turn off the left side of someones brain they probably would not survive.

But to me it all rings a familiar sound with quantum theory , energy , resonance, many religous beliefs.

'We are the life force of the universe, expressing itself physically'

All I'll say is this: if above really is as below - and I do believe it is - and each being is a microcosm, then it should come as no surprise that studying oneself's inner workings and minutiae would lead to discoveries of macrocosmic relevance. ;-)

a very eastern message, for sure.

You should look up Lobsang Rampa if you are interested by her. if you buy books, buy The Celestine Prophecy (you likely have read it already....it is VERY popular) and make sure you get "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman.

I am not a kook. I am very personal and quiet about my spiritual beliefs. But the Dan Millman book changed my life immediately as i read it. I am nothing like the man i was before i read that book about 13 years ago. And it was what started me on the journey that has me here with you, at ATS.

I wouldn't say i was religous at all.. i do give credence to the chance of intelligent design.

For me this is more about how things really are, its just our perception is anchored elsewhere and reality is relative to our point of observation.

I still think things as amazing as this could exist AND could eventualy be explained and maybe even exploited for gain with science.

The whole concept strikes a chord with many different viewpoints from many different cultures and/or teachings.

Well, that is the thing. The reality of it is, what she says is correct. We are physical manifestations of the living universe. We are the All.

It may seem religious. I don't view it this way. I view it like it is the way it is, and i just feel secure in my knowledge of that.

I get what you are saying. I just wanted to clarify. I will leave it alone now.

My observation of the video echoes Quantum Squirrel's.

As alluded in the video, we process multiple simultaneous streams of information through the use of a complex network. If any aspect of that network goes down, we will interpret the world through what's left of our 'senses.' So if our daily mental noise comes from one half of the brain, and that half of the brain is shut off; instant profound experience.

But this isn't meant to belittle the scientist's experience, or indeed 'rationalize' it.

You know, there is a reason why (alternating) single nostril breathing is such a big deal in yoga...

And I can tell you that whenever I want to ensure the maximum efficacy in performing a task, I take out one of my contact lenses (I have gone as far as covering my eye completely, with a patch). Which one depends on the nature of the task, of course.

Not that I am soliciting the use of anything, but you know you don't have to suffer a stroke, or practice yoga, or be a wise goat on top of a mountain, or meditate for years to experience that.

I can tell you from experience a good hit will give you the same feelings, and unlock things in your brain you never thought existed. It will change the way you see the world forever, and enlighten you in the ways of the universe, and the best part....

If you are proper about it, you don't have to have surgery, nor experience the nasty side effects that a stroke has to offer. And you don't have to wait until you have one for this experience to take place.

In all seriousness, a good hit does for the mind what Viagra does for your love life. (Of course I don't use Viagra, nor am I even in need of it, I'm just using what we call a comparison.)

If this doesn't make sense to you, of maybe you think I'm off my rocker, just you wait. One of these days you'll figure it out, and your realize...
"Dang ParryNoid was right!"

I do not condone to use of nor the solicitation of any medicinal or illicit drugs in any shape or form. If you choose to experiment you do so at your own risk, and I take absolutely ZERO responsibility for any outcome of the situation.

However if you do decide to give it a go and you enjoy yourself and maybe you just learn something. Know this, There is a fine line between proper and improper, do not make the mistake of crossing that line! Once you cross, it may be hard to turn back. And we like it here on the proper side, so don't go meddling!!!!

You've been warned!!!!!
