[Ailist] TED Talk of the Decade?

[Bruce Elkin]

> Hi Ai-ers,
>    
>   This is the URL for a talk from the 2008 TED conference in Monterey,
> California
>   The "buzz" from the conference is that this is one of the "most memorable
> TED talks of all time."
>   http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229
>    
>   It is Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor sharing her experience of the brain, how each
> half of our brains is either a gateway or wall to our experience of our own
> true consciousness, and how her own stroke provided an experience that she
> calls her "stroke of insight."
>    
>   I found it such a beautiful support for what the real mystics teach when
> they say that life is not about getting what you want, but rather, wanting
> what you get.
>    
>   Enjoy!

Hi Ron,
Thanks so much for sharing this video.  It is funny, informative, uplifting
and bloody-well mind-boggling.  The video and the story of this woman¹s
experience is worth 20 minutes of practically anyone¹s time.

Apropos of the thread I¹ve been participating about hierarchy/non-hierarchy,
at the end of the video, she asks a couple of profound questions.  I¹d
suggest that folks watch this videos and when she asks those questions, ask
yourself, who¹s asking?  Is it one of the two minds, the two sides of the
brain?  How can it be?  Or is their a higher mind, a higher I AM asking the
question?

Do watch the video and think about these questions?  I¹d be very interested
in the answers.

Again, Ron, thank you, thank you for passing this along.  And secret thanks
to the client who missed his coaching session today without warning, and
gave me a quiet space in which to view and reflect on this AMAZING story.
Great speaker too!

Cheers!
Bruce
