What with all the hoopla in my lady parts, I forgot to tell you that Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the brain lady I told you about, was on Oprah yesterday. (Thanks Ashley for the heads-up!)
Only it kind of sucked. Because Oprah only talks about what she's interested in, not what I'm interested in.
Oprah was interested in how people need to be responsible for the energy they bring to you. And then she made some joke about how her staff really needs to learn this ha ha ha. Now don't get me wrong. Taking responsibility for the vibe you bring to the world is a good take-home message, but there are some other major spiritual insights Dr. Taylor articulated that trump a pissy production assistant's energetic demeanor.
Oprah, darling, you appear to be missing the big picture. (Which is located in your right brain, just so you know.) Taylor has figured out how to access FREAKING NIRVANA in really simple, practical ways and you are rehashing the Golden Rule? Come on.
And then she went ahead and let Dr. No Chin Oz teach 7.4 million viewers about what happens in the brain during a stroke. Forgive me, but wouldn't Dr. Bolte Tayor, a Ph.D. neuroanatomist, be able to do that just fine? Probably even better because she owns a chin?
Luckily(?), Oprah interviewed Dr. Taylor in a four-part webcast that is part of something she calls her Soul Series. Oprah says the word SOUL like she's trying to invade yours. Meh. Forget Oprah. Go check out Jill's TED Talk instead. Or better yet, read her book, My Stroke of Insight. Honestly, I think Chapter Four could be the most important spiritual text I've read all year.
Here's something interesting, her now-New-York-Times-bestselling book was originally self-published on Lulu.com, the oft-mocked weird sister of publishing. Look at the crazy things that happen when you surrender your ego for the sake of enlightenment!
