- In this video, I had the great pleasure of talking with Jill Bolte Taylor about the importance of bringing the left and right brain back into mainstream discussion. Just a few hints.
Character 1 is the rational, thinking CEO of the left brain.
Character 2 is the emotional (often negative) left brain. Think of it as the shadow.
Character 3 is the inner child of the right brain that just wants to play
Character 4 is the right brain guru that knows everything is perfect as it is

What a wonderful conversation. So many helpful insights enthusiastically shared. Thank you
great guest and interview. thanks!
Superb interview and a fascinating topic - your and Jill's books are on my Kindle as of this morning
Hello Chris - I enjoyed the conversation with Jill a lot. Also your book is 👌. I’m asking my self if you already know The Wholeness Work of Connirae Andreas? You both have so much synchronicity. If you are interested in an conversation with her - let me know - I can arrange the contact.
There is only one decision that matters? The Wholeness Work® Connirae Andreas #awakening

Thanks,,,no I can't say I'm familiar with the Wholeness Work of Connirae Andreas but I will definitely check it out and for sure would be interested in a conversation if you would be so kind as to arrange it...thanks..
It seems to me that Jill is actually the ‘conductor’ of her four characters. Even during her stroke Jill seemed to be the awareness that was …..watching it happen…?
Native people have been trying to tell us this for generations. It’s a pity that we have all but annihilated them.
Wow, I wish those pushing the jab could take Jill’s approach. There was so much information yelling about the falsity of health advice but fear seemed to have taken over most peoples brains.
the last time left brainers were creative was during adolescence or at best during student years with some 1 day adhoc project. So to them "creativity" they think it is handcraft macrame, or at most a short random brainstorm that are just other versions of the same: other shapes and colors. Instead of the whole conceptual thinking zooming out and perspective changing and a synthesis next level. They associate "creativity" with childishness because the last time They did it was as a child. They dont understand that the rightbrainers have grown up from their right brain: so the rightbrain thinking is developped beyond the point where leftbrainers stopped. So the leftbrainers sense of "creativity" is when they are burnout do yoga mindfullness and make mandala's. To them "creativity" is decoration. I once accidentally stepped into the wrong classroom and it took me 10 minutes to realize it was not my class and those 10 minutes when i set down in a "mindmapping" class for office people: The horror dawned to me: all the people around me genuinly had trouble writing the words in a circle: the teacher had to go around the class and say "no mindmapping is not putting words vertically or horizontally lined up, we just write the words scattered around with circles and arrows like a map. And they struggled they kept on putting them in a graphic order instead of letting the intrinsic meaning of the word decide the place. Instead of wordblind they were conceptblind. And I was almost in tears i felt so sorry for them. It seems like a worse condition than dyslexia. Dysconceptia. / Possibly how easy the world was highjacked into mass formation is because of the left dominant thinkers: they talk about square circles and dont see the problem: because they dont draw them.
Years ago I saw a video of Jill's Ted talk about her experience. It was definitely impressive and moving. For somebody who is so critical of language she seems quite passionate about talking though :))
This is the thing, I understand she went through a very unique and life changing experience for her as an individual, but I do not agree with her extrapolations about the human mind. To begin with I disagree with the view of left and right "selves" or "brains" as I hear her say it. They are hemispheres of one brain and one self, kind of like fingers are part of a hand, so we don't speak of five hands, but of one hand with five fingers. Therefore in rejecting such left/right brains assumption I cannot accept any further divisions. I understand she is describing facets of human psychology and experience, but her labeling them into even more compartmentalized brain categories seems to totally contradict her own perspective of a holistic consciousness. Yes, we are moody. Yes we have internal struggles. Yes, different desires and different skills that compete internally for external manifestation. But even though we are creatures of conflict, it is that very conflict that pushes our development as a species and as individuals. It is conflict that makes us think and come up with solutions. It is conflict that gives us awareness. It is done both at the personal and at the social level. The struggle is to find balance not between our different "selves" but about our different desires, and about the different dimensions of our existence. Our true self is the commander of desires and perception, the channel, the vessel, the creator, the destroyer call it any name you want, depending on the outcome or on your own perception, and assign whatever place you want in the brain. That still does not make us more than one complex and mysterious individual. She herself temporarily lost one aspect of her brain, yet she did not lose consciousness of her own multifaceted existence. All the marvel that she finds in being a "conscious being" appears to be lost when she seems to imply that others who seem to her to be too rational are not aware of the same. She is simply choosing to express herself as if only certain external behaviours count as "conscious". And talking about choices... People absolutely can NOT afford the "choice" to see the "marvel" of being alive when they are being tortured, persecuted, in physical pain with terminal illnesses, and in some kind of danger or duress or another. As aware as Jill is of her own awareness, I don't hear her communicate the same awareness about others.
This has definitely been an insightful interview, and a perfect example of another attempt of "left brainers" to rationalize their own perception as commanding "right brainers"... Or maybe it is the usual conversation of intellectuals in their ivory towers forgetting about the world of pain and suffering of ordinary mortals. Great job, though. We need to say things out loud in order to get a better resolution of the shadows in the world :))
"My Stroke of Insight" is good very good book. I see that the Kindle version of her new book is very reasonably priced. The hard copy version doesn't come out until next year.
I find the insights from multiple fields of study and sources really clarifies that "Just this is it." Thanks for the interview.
The hardcover version of Jill’s newest book has been out since May. I have already purchased and received multiple hard copies.
