Pretty soon the ocean will be full of these and then it’s only a matter of time before they grow legs and lungs and TAKE OVER THE FUCKING EARTH!

Saw this years ago and it really struck a chord with me. So I’m passing it along now so that someone else might get something out of it (even if it is a little “new-agey’). Very interesting, funny, and thought provoking.

Jill Bolte Taylor woke up one day in the middle of having a stroke. A blood vessel had burst in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to experience a peaceful, nirvana-like state where she was one with the universe. But what makes her story truly unique is that she’s a nueroanatomist. Above is a presentation about this experience and how it affected and continues to affect her life. It gave her a spectacular insight into how the human brain works. For those interested, she’s also written a book which you can find here.
