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.

    “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”.

    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”
