I have watched this video before.  Somebody sent me this video some time ago.  
I enjoyed it from its dynamism.

Dear all,

I noticed that some of us in the forum are studying or trying to 
understand zen, while some of us emphasizes that zen can only be 
experienced. Perhaps both have merits. If you have not watch this 
video by a Harvard trained neuroanatomist. Please do so.

http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html

Jill personally witnessed that the state of Samadhi is in her right 
brain, while her left brain, where is her logic and words center, is 
having a stroke.

I venture to conclude from this video that perhaps Zen is a combined 
state of balance of our entire brain. Right for harmonious, instinctive 
and sensory existence and left for recognizing red light from green light.

What do you say?

:-)
