"Stroke of Insight" - Jill Bolte Taylor

Jill Bolte Taylor's Ted Talk discussing her stroke:

      "And at first I was shocked to find myself inside of a silent mind.

       But I was immediately captivated by the magnificence of the energy around me.

       And because I could no longer identify the boundaries of my body, 

       I felt enormous and expansive, I felt at one with all of the energy that was,

       and it was beautiful there."


"Stroke of Insight"

"There is No Tomorrow" - Osho

"There is no tomorrow.  If there is a tomorrow, you can't stop worrying about it.  

Tomorrow never comes - it is a process of worrying.  Nor is there any yesterday.

One is no more, one is not yet.  All that is in our hands is the present moment, now, here."


"There is no tomorrow"

"You're It" - Alan Watts

"In this universe there is one great energy..."
