I would love to have a discussion with you all about this video.  It sheds light on consciousness and the roles of the two hemispheres of the brain.  It's presented as an amazing personal experience shared by brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor.  I had a similar personal experience through deep meditation.

"This is an absolute must-watch. Set aside 18 minutes and prepare to be floored. Consensus among TED’sters is that this may be the most memorable and important TED Talk ever. It was certainly the most talked-about presentation among those at TED2008. Enjoy and share with others. And let Jill’s experience inspire, motivate, and change the way you look at life."

Missing all of you at the dojo - I'm trying to be conscious of how much gas I charge to my credit card these days! 

Peace and Love,
