I am a frequent visitor to TED - Ideas Worth Spreading and love their video talks and content! You can find amazing videos there on almost any topic and they are usually very valuable resources or just fun to watch for personal interest.
I recently had the chance to discover a great talk given by Jill Bolte Taylor, which I thought would be perfect to pass onto you as it fits in so well to discovering higher awareness levels, which greatly represents Evolving Beings.
Jill Bolte Taylor is a well respected neuroanatomist and has actually also just made the cover of TIME magazine for the 100 most influential people in the world issue for 2008. In this talk she explains her experience while she was having a stroke and recollects what happened to her piece by piece and what profound effect this had on her level of spiritual awareness! Check out the video below and feel free to comment your thoughts and feelings on this talk.
I found this video really astounding and could not believe what I heard come out of her mouth. It is miraculous how during a tragically vulnerable experience, this woman had the power and strength to raise herself to a higher awareness and turn a medically devastating stroke into a “stroke of insight”. Through this experience she not only changed her own life, but now is changing the lives of others!
Last night, Monday April 7th, Oprah hosted her sixth webcast with Eckhart Tolle. In this webcast they explored the sixth chapter of his book A New Earth, entitled “Breaking Free”.
Oprah began the evening with reading some excerpts from Eckhart’s new book entitled “Stillness Speaks”.
Oprah began the evening with a beautiful poem entitled “Lost” by David Wagoner. Eckhart then continued with leading everyone into a moment of stillness. After the moment of stillness, Oprah commented how easy these moments have now become and how much longer they seem than just the actual 10 seconds that they last. To this Eckhart gave a beautiful response saying that if you bring your full attention to any moment it becomes holy. And this goes back to my views that people who for example are strongly tied to a religion seem to only “find” or “feel” holiness in places of worship, but truly when we awaken and become still to feel the essence of our being - that is Holy.
The chapter on the Pain-Body is special to me not because I have a heavy pain-body, but because it allowed me to understand and gain a deeper understanding of many people who are close to me and carry very heavy pain-bodies of their own. Eckhart explains in this chapter that we all get so caught up with “me and my story” that we revolve our lives and thoughts around that, thinking that is who we are. Well naturally, this is not who you are.
