Posted Sep 14 2008 1:25pm
Conytinuing with the discussion regarding a "symbolist outlook on life", it occured to me that neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor's absolutely stunning talk is highly relevant here. The world of metaphor and symbol is largely a function of right brain processes. Tapping into this realm can result in a profound shift in worldview as Jill dramatically experienced with her "Stroke of Insight". If you haven't yet seen this, it is well worth the 18 minutes or so to watch this video.
