When I watched the TED talk, I was thrilled their was a physiological component that naturally offered experiences of enlightenment, compassion, presence and all those other "left brain words" for what seekers have realized throughout recorded history. <BR/><BR/>Michele: What a great insight! So many do seek left brain solutions when the answer lies within the other half of the neo cortex.

It communicates so well the idea that these organizations are dysfunctional and in need of healing and a return to wholeness. Sadly, I worry that unlike Jill Bolte Taylor's experience, most don't recognize that they're in need of healing and so do not seek out treatment. Or when they do, they seek more left-brain solutions. <BR/><BR/>Great post, Tom--thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-92119853348992394472008-07-08T19:29:00.000-06:002008-07-08T19:29:00.000-06:00I watched the video some time ago and thought it w...I watched the video some time ago and thought it was great. <BR/><BR/>What Jill Bolte Taylor discovered experientially is what Buddhists have been talking about for millenia. She got the temporary fasttrack of an experience that usually takes years of meditation to achieve (a bit like LSD in the Sixties). <BR/><BR/>You are both right - our culture has become way too left-brained and we need to work out ways to return to holistic, right-brained thinking free of ego before our left-brains and egos destroy us all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
