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.

Indeed, it has long been a belief of mine, that people with brains that are less analytical, or less autisticly logical, are more likely to be unable to keep head above the psychological waves of a stroke attack. And also, that those too who are very strong hearted in mind are also more likely to pull through.

The ability to study exactly what has gone wrong, enables you to catagorise and disect each element of the stroke, and to without any further explanation needed, shelve it in a virtual bookcase, where you know exactly where it is and maintain knowledge of exactly what has happened.

This strength/procedure has effectively prevented the stroke. This is possible because it is part of our natural immune system anyways to deal with psychological threats of various different natures.

It is 'strength of mind' that determines how likely we are to survive. But as I said earlier, 'strength of mind' can be in different ways, dependent on the individual, and each of these ways being a unique activation key to monitor our own brain's behaviour.

Be one with yourself and all that is natural spirit.
