Her story is amazing and her gift to all of us is a book purchase away I'm happy to say. <BR/><BR/>Dr Taylor was a Harvard brain scientist when she had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.<BR/><BR/>What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can! Thank you Dr. Taylor, and thank you Eckhart and Oprah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27835654.post-43449953130951794812008-05-20T12:23:00.000-07:002008-05-20T12:23:00.000-07:00Mookie,No that's not my point.

But all Christians need to be reminded to be in the Word and test new teachings against the truth of Scripture. If someone quotes Scripture and says, "What it says is this, but what it means is this", you should take the initiative to research it yourself and make sure they're not trying to mislead.<BR/><BR/>JeffJeff Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13360301384753597682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27835654.post-52460144069273102382008-05-20T10:22:00.000-07:002008-05-20T10:22:00.000-07:00So, in other words, I'd better avoid reading this ...So, in other words, I'd better avoid reading this book, since I'm so very young in my journey?Mookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073027586188784701noreply@blogger.com
