Hey guys, does anybody know about Jill Bolte Taylor?
She is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain in 1996. And her stroke triggered the "spiritual awakening" experience as only her right brain was functioning, so she said. You can find out a speech she made in Youtube about her experience. She also said that all of us can be "awakened" if we just "shift" to right brain Quotes from her book:
When my brain runs loops that feel harshly judgmental, counter-productive, or out of control, I wait 90 seconds for the emotional/physiological response to dissipate and then I speak to my brain as though it is a group of children. I say with sincerity, "I appreciate your ability to think these thoughts and feel these emotions, but I am really not interested in thinking these thoughts or feeling these emotions anymore. Please stop bringing this stuff up."
Essentially I am consciously asking my brain to stop hooking into specific thought patterns.
So if it is true and that easy, wouldn't us make all the wishes come true because in that state our vibration are genuine high? Like Lester Levenson, Buddha, etc. etc.

Yeah I have seen her Ted talk seminar...
She become one with everything but if we do that, by that I mean totally lose the left brain, all logic goes out the window and it gets too weird at this point. Life on earth does make any sense anymore.

From her book seems like she can't stay in that state every single minute she also got "kicked out" sometimes cuz she offered a technique that she uses to go back. And Lester Levenson was also in that state and according to his story, he managed to manifest everything he wanted, health & wealth, etc. His body condition didn't change automatically after he "enlightened", he also did something to be healed even that was just a change of the perspective to human body like "it is always perfect".
So that I think in that state we might lose all the attachment and we can still wanna manifest things just for "play" ?
However her technique looks like just a BS......self-talking won't work like this!!! Maybe she could do cuz she has already experienced, but for us normal people, how the hell do we know how to shut down the function of half brain and even if our SM or whatever would figure it out, it won't work instantaneously, otherwise we wouldn't even be here to test the NAPs over and over again....

Exactly and that is when I decided to let go of trying to remove my left brain. We need the left brain to have a human life. When our arms are melting away with the walls in the back like she says in the video and you cannot see the limits of your body and everything becomes one, there goes your human life right there and I don't want that.
Maybe it;s a lot of fun but I just want to have the best left brain and logical human life. When I die I will become one with everything and will have eternity to freak out about it and enjoy it.
if we wouldn't manage to manifest our goals by all the tools we can use, I might go and chase the "enlightenment". But maybe this enlightenment thing is just that simple like Taylor said and wouldn't take years of meditation and "samtsang"? Well if it is true there are specialists on neurology have already invented a helmet to trigger the experience. that"ll be a big slap on face for all the monks and gurus

Cindy617,
Entheogenic plants have been used forever to reach these states.. of minds. Amongst other calumny I've been accused of having half a brain, thus most railing ,rolls off me, like water off a ducks back. Terms bandied about were a parody.Even participated in a few "religious ceremonies" Native American-using ceremonials and experiencing altered states.Still I prefer our more conventional ways used here, more control and legality..
The neuroplasticity of our brains no longer eludes me and I know the first step is to believe that most anything is possible-! and that probability will occur. Your ideas are all your own,We are all here with differing levels of understanding .I've been lucky enough to achieve some level shaping my higher mind/SM whatever into a higher order of plasticity,and I would say unhesitatingly all of us on this site will sooner than later reach this goal.
wire Cheerz Will update you on my LDing soon Cindy 617 and Thanx.
I said that cuz if it's true, we could achieve that state FOR SURE and easily without wasting years on meditation, etc,etc. there are people who play with hopes of desperate ones, we are all doing this for having the happiness. But most of people fail. It's like you cover a donkey's eye and hang the food in front of it, let it smell the food but the donkey can never be able to catch the food.
Yea I know I should believe anything is possible, but how to convince yourself? The reason that We are doing Naps because we failed in believing this..trust me I do want to truly believe it, not just intellectualy, but the problem is the stubborn mind won't let the limiting beliefs go if you haven't experienced sth big enough to convince it....It's nice to hear that you have been able to communicate to someone who is helping you, and you are saying we could all do that, then the question is how to do that and how do they help you?
So true! I haveyou another technique for LDing. Dunno if I should mention it here ,so I better just report it there works to help you achieve your goal when all else fails..I found it helped when I woke after 3-4 hours sleep..
I wonder if I might address this just a tad..From what I can glean, as I an getting my feet wet in this enlightenment scenario,here's what I have "found",from my travails/mind exploring..
Our consciousness is shrouded/"covered" over with a fog-shroud now. When we are born it's not shrouded and we understand why we are here and what we are to do while here.We were able to interact with those other realities all round us and they are myriad. Beings unlike us exist there, some create there own light ,these worlds have always been there but that veil kept us from interacting and dumbed down,damn shame. As you lose that veil it feels homey, like you belong and are a part of these other worlds. Somehow you fit in there.
I still am an explorer trying to make sense of those other realities and the denizens inhabiting those dimensions, as they are as real as the reality we all inhabit being flesh and blood.. Crazy scenarios abound and are ahead for us all in days to come..
