This must be one of the most amazing stories someone has lived to tell. The experience described by Dr Jill Bolte Taylor is doing the rounds on the Web because of how powerfully she delivered her story at the TED 2008 Conference. This was a facinating talk because its really a east meets west or in her words left meets right brain talk. This is the kind of story I would hope that makes you think about your own life and your perceptions or interaction with the world. How much are you feeling or how much are you experiencing? In most cases a fraction of what’s possible. The more you life in your head, and not in your, the more you cut yourself off from the universal intelligence as Napoleon Hill called it, or the Grand Organised Designer (or Design) as Dr John Demartini calls it.

In our hyper linked world, we can know anything, any time. And this mass enlightenment, says Buddhist scholar Bob Thurman, is our first step toward becoming Buddha. When we can know everything, we can see how everything is interconnected — and we can begin to feel compassion for every living being.

This is one of many excellent talks on the TED website. As you may know I attended the TEDGlobal conference in Tanzania recently. So I have a close affinity to all things TED. This is one of my favourites of the more recent talks posted. And I highly recommend the Bob Thurman podcast as well.
