February 28, 2012 – “Is There a Sixth Sense?” & “A Stroke of Insight”
Consciousness, ESP/Telepathy, Multi-Dimensions February 20th, 2012Join us on Tuesday February 28, 2012 for our discussion group topic, “Is There a Sixth Sense? & A Stroke of Insight“, presented by Janet Rowland.
Is There a Sixth Sense?: Can we perceive beyond the world detected by our five senses? Researchers are diving into the hidden folds of our brains, discovering that the blind can actually see, that thoughts can fly across space and that we all may all be part of a global consciousness. What was once on the fringes of science is moving ever closer to the mainstream.
A Stroke of Insight – Jill Bolte Taylor: This powerful video is from TED.com. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. She shares the spiritual insight she gained from the experience. An astonishing story that adds more dimension to the first video we will watch.
Join us at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 as we watch one more of the “Through The Wormhole” episodes, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and “Jill Bolte Taylor in A Stroke of Insight.”
Please note the doors lock promptly at 6:30, so be sure to arrive a few minutes early.

Nicely done last night, Janet. I thought the two videos fit nicely together. From a spiritual perspective – when Jill B. Taylor was speaking about the expansive feeling from the right brain and the individual sense from the left – made me think of the divine WE that is in all of us – right brain being source, spirit, god and left brain being earth bound. Right brain being expansive in its essence and left brain being limiting – or at least defining in its essence.

Thanks, Jim!
You so aptly described my thoughts the first time, and every time I watch Jill B. Taylor’s video. The brain’s division into the left and right hemispheres could point to proof (as if we need it) that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience here on Earth. The corpus collosum, as the link between the left and right hemispheres , communicates their messages to the rest of the body through the spinal cord. Just as the brain has 3 major divisions, we become whole in mind, spirit and body…each of us our own holy trinity…and, that’s miraculous!!
Thank you for taking the time to post the comment. It means a lot to know that people enjoy what we do.
