Right Brain – Left Brain

I recently watched an interesting lecture by Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor; she suffered a stroke and describes the experience in detail.  I found it helpful with my practice.

I’d been approaching TSK with a lot of main stream reasoning and was feeling a bit lost. Her story prompted me to “switch off” my left brain. That reduced the question & answer calamity in my head and I was able, as a silent spectator, to experience space.

I’ll try to describe the new experience, but it’s hard to find adequate words as it takes place in a dimension without dialogue. 

Here goes:

• It feels as though I’m blended with space. 
• Solid matter appears neither close nor far away – just here – also blended with space. 
• Everything stands in a perpetual stillness amidst infinity. 

These words seem terribly inadequate.  For now I’ll attempt to feel my experience rather than think about it.  The thinking seems to block my path.

Bye for now, D. Mac.
