## Resource

What happens when three-fourths of a neuroscientist’s brain goes offline, and what remains is not emptiness, but peace, connection, and love? Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who spent her life studying the brain, until a massive stroke made her the subject of her own life’s work. As the parts of her brain tied to language, identity, linear time, and the sense of being separate began to shut down, she entered an expansive state that would shape the next chapter of her work. After eight years of rebuilding her brain, Dr. Bolte Taylor emerged with a new framework for understanding the brain and the self: four inner “characters” that influence how we think, feel, react, relate, and move through the world. In this episode of the Talk Tracks , Ky Dickens speaks with Dr. Bolte Taylor about what her stroke revealed, how Whole Brain Living can help us engage all four parts of ourselves, and how we can learn to choose who and how we want to be. Together, they also explore emotional reactivity, inner peace, intuition, telepathy, energy healing, and the possibility that some forms of awareness may reflect capacities of the brain and consciousness that science is still learning how to understand. _______ Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.This is your invitation to come closer.
