Jill Bolte Taylor: My Stroke Of Insight | Video

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for:

One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.
As it happened - as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding - she studied and remembered every moment.

This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

The Universe is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, it is known. Now, a team of researchers at Virginia Tech University is searching for the possibility of an extra dimension.

The idea we're exploring is that the Universe has an imperceptibly small dimension (about one billionth of a nanometre) in addition to the four that we know currently.

This is what the World gets to see: Luxureus DUBAI.

But is it all glitter and glamour, or is it just the rich side of Dubai brought into the world (media) for various reasons?
(I can think of a few)

Camel Jockeys in the Middle East

The jockeys will tipically start their life in the same way as millions of other children in the Indian subcontinent. Perhaps having parents who are poor, but still have dreams for their sons which do not involve camels.

Then maybe at the age of two or three the children go outside to play and never return. They are kidnapped by local gangs who will deal in any commodity that makes money. The children will then be taken by adults who when questioned may claim to be the children's parents. They will then travel, perhaps along the ancient slave routes to Karachi, and across the Gulf.

Its MINDCONTROL, THINK!
Educate yourself, know that the MEDIA is presenting you with false images.

A way forward

Whatever happens, there is a way forward.
Remember that as you welcome each moment and each new development.

Out of any circumstance, you can find a positive pathway. In any situation, there is the opportunity to create success and to experience fulfillment.

Be unconditionally thankful for the moment you're in. Because the moment you're in is filled with real possibilities.

Your gratitude will enable you to see the best of those possibilities. Your expectation of finding the best way forward will enable you to begin moving solidly forward.

There is much to be gained by planning and preparing, by anticipating what is most likely to happen and being ready for it. Yet there is no reason to be paralyzed by worry or fear, because you have what it takes to handle even the most unexpected setbacks.

Know that always, whatever may come, there is a realistic way forward. Have the confidence to find that way, and take yourself to magnificent new heights.
