If this was posted before ... I apologize as this is from 2008. Has anyone seen this? I'm very curious what many of you might think of Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke experience. I'm still processing and wondering what her "ism" worldview is after this experience. It's an interesting story.

8:29 "And I'm asking myself, "What is wrong with me? What is going on?" And in that moment, my brain chatter --my left hemisphere brain chatter -- went totally silent.Just like someone took a remote control and pushed the mute button. Total silence. And at first I was shocked to find myself inside of a silent mind. But then I was immediately captivated by the magnificence of the energy around me.
