Then, one day, she had a massive stroke. The stroke damaged the left hemisphere of her brain, which is responsible for language, logic, and reason. As a result, Jill lost all of her memories, her ability to speak, and her ability to think rationally.

In the months that followed, Jill had to relearn everything from scratch. She had to learn how to walk, talk, and eat again. She had to learn how to read and write again. And she had to learn how to think for herself again.

As Jill began to recover, she realized that the stroke had not only damaged her brain, but it had also opened her up to a whole new way of experiencing the world. She began to see the world with a childlike sense of wonder and awe.

Jill's experience has led her to challenge everything she once knew about the brain, consciousness, and reality itself. She believes that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but rather a filter that allows us to experience consciousness.

Jill's story is a reminder that we are all capable of changing our minds and expanding our consciousness. We are not limited by our brains, but rather by our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.

The Stroke

Jill Bolte Taylor was 37 years old when she had a massive stroke. The stroke damaged the left hemisphere of her brain, which is responsible for language, logic, and reason. As a result, Jill lost all of her memories, her ability to speak, and her ability to think rationally.

The stroke was a life-changing event for Jill. It forced her to relearn everything from scratch. She had to learn how to walk, talk, and eat again. She had to learn how to read and write again. And she had to learn how to think for herself again.

The stroke also had a profound impact on Jill's consciousness. She began to see the world with a childlike sense of wonder and awe. She realized that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but rather a filter that allows us to experience consciousness.

The Recovery

Jill's recovery from the stroke was a long and difficult process. She spent months in rehabilitation, learning how to walk, talk, and eat again. She also had to learn how to read and write again. And she had to learn how to think for herself again.

As Jill began to recover, she realized that the stroke had not only damaged her brain, but it had also opened her up to a whole new way of experiencing the world. She began to see the world with a childlike sense of wonder and awe. She realized that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but rather a filter that allows us to experience consciousness.

Jill's story is a reminder that we are all capable of changing our minds and expanding our consciousness. We are not limited by our brains, but rather by our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.

The New Jill

The stroke changed Jill Bolte Taylor in many ways. She lost her memories, her ability to speak, and her ability to think rationally. But she also gained a new sense of wonder and awe. She realized that the brain is not the seat of consciousness, but rather a filter that allows us to experience consciousness.

Jill's story is a reminder that we are all capable of changing our minds and expanding our consciousness. We are not limited by our brains, but rather by our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.

Jill Bolte Taylor is now a world-renowned speaker and author. She travels the world sharing her story and inspiring others to open their minds and expand their consciousness.
