brain doc discussion on experiencing a stroke

Migrated topic.
wow. awesome! I love seeing real world examples of stuff like this that supports my beliefs. what a wonderful world / universe.
 
I nearly didn't investigate this thread, as the topic of strokes seems rather dry, but wow...

I have got to find a way to switch off my left brain - to step to the right. But I feel my left side utterly dominates me. I've never, ever experienced the bliss she describes.

If ever I kill myself, I'm definitely aiming the bullet for the left hemisphere.

some of her description sound very familiar to experiences I have had with salvia divinorum...like not being able to define the confines her own body in contrast to the rest of the world...I experience that with tryptamines as well but it's not nearly as strong as with salvia...with DMT when I break through of course I am not even thinking aboutmy body, same with salvia..but with lower doses of salvia I do get that mixed up feeling where I am connected to everything and cannot figure out just what i am..with spice it is not a strong, until I hit a certain point where it ramps right up and I blast through..
 
^maybe, maybe it doesnt matter..who knows?.if that is true than everything is just a manifestation of the mind..so what would it matter??..Do you think the mind itself is just a manifestation?

It doesnt matter that much to me..it's what we are so we have to embrace all of it, or we are not embracing ourselves..

It's a good question.

Exploring the vastenss of reality, or exploring the vastness of the self...maybe one leads onto the other.
 
I do think it is all of the mind at times..but then I see that it is still non-ordinary reality, becasue it is so far from what experience on a day to day basis....if the self really is that vast..than thoe other"places" or states of mind might I might as well reguard as being alien to the "me" that is writing this here and now...it's hard to figure out how to put this...

If I am a part of reality, than exploring those other states of my own conciousness is still exploring reality that is unknown to me..reguardless of it being outside or insde..it is still apart from the everyday concentual me..
 
I think it's cool to just experience things as they are without all the baggage of the humans on planet earth survival experience, I like her description of energy flowing into your body, because of course that is what it is, it's just so hard for us to appreciate things for how they are... yeah, so how it's presented to me is through this marvellous biological machinery, that doesn't make the reality any less cool, we're sentiant structures made of energy in a vast universe of information, we experience energy, more and more I think of my "self" as just the arbitrator and the mechanical me as the amazing part...

Yes, it does hint to that. It also equally hints that there is something greater going on than just a pruely mechanical functioning of the brain. Her talk and experience support the idea of Oneness which is a spiritual concept.

"I am an energy being connected to the energy all around me though the consciousness of my right hemisphere. We are energy beings connected to one another though the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family. Right here, right now we are brothers and sisters on this planet, here to make th is world a better place. And at this moment we are perfect, we are whole, and we are beautiful"

Excellent talk, I really enjoyed that. I have found myself the ability to enter that blissful state at will. Certain moments can trigger it without conscious activation, but I can sit and experience the unity of all and that feeling of bliss comes over me.

Of course, but it doesn't solve the problem of where this space/time continuum comes from. It makes just as much sense to me that the universe is just the manifestation of a higher mind, which may have evolved in a primal field of energy beyond this universe.
 
By the way lbeing789, thanks for posting this video. In a manner of synchronicity, the message of Jill Bolte Taylor is something I needed specifically for this very moment. I don't know, but its like something is trying to communicate to me. Telling me not to worry. This something can't speak to me directly, but has to speak through other means.

I thank God for people like Taylor, who seem to throw me a lifeline just when I think I'm going under for good.
