Earlier this evening, I stumbled on two videos which completely blew me away.
The first is a TED talk by Jill Bolte Taylor. She’s a brain scientist who had a massive stroke and lived to tell the tale. In fact, she was fully aware of what was going on for some time after a blood vessel in her left hemisphere exploded. Her description of how her perception of reality changed after her left brain went offline is truly remarkable. This isn’t a story of medical emergency and chaos; it’s a story of enlightenment.
The second is from inspirational speaker Esther Hicks, author of The Law of Attraction. She claims to channel a group of non-physical beings called “Abraham”, translating their energy into words we can understand. In this video, she dives into a “Rampage of Invincibility.” This is one of the most powerful and clarifying six-and-a-half minute speeches I’ve ever seen.
I have to echo the sentiments of JJ. “The Demon Haunted World” is a great read or if you prefer a good video on the subject, check out Brian Dunnings “Here be Dragon’s –An Introduction to Critical Thinking”
“Law of Attraction” with it’s “channeled beings”?
Wow Brad, disappointing.
What ever happened to critical thinking? Read Sagan’s great book “Demon Haunted World”.
