I mentioned this video in the class this morning. \u00c2\u00a0Jack’s remark–that it isn’t all that helpful to reduce TSK to some\u00c2\u00a0other and particular perspective–is well taken. \u00c2\u00a0And it’s true that I have my own particular interest in the subject of the brain and have even attempted to incorporate it into my writing.<\/p>\n
At the same time I find this video deeply moving. \u00c2\u00a0I also think it provides a profound examination of a question that is deeply present in the TSK vision. \u00c2\u00a0How do we move beyond the limitations of our dedication to linear time, to substance occupying space, and to the self as the one who knows, while also honoring that without this kind of viewpoint we would not be able to take advantage of the human life into which we have been born?<\/p>\n
This video explores these issues in the context of a brain scientist’s severe left hemisphere stroke which robbed her of a self located in time and space. \u00c2\u00a0After eight years of very hard work, she is able to speak of that experience and what it has taught her about the deep oneness that unifies us all.<\/p>\n
