This is a wonderful story of a neuroscientist who had a brain haemorrhage and stroke. She recovered fully, but found out some interesting things about her brain. Basically, what she experienced (though that is not the case for all such patients) is akin to one of the higher states of bliss induced by Yoga. Very interesting read. Her book on her experiences, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey, is availabe in Amazon now.
Slowly, as our solar system travels closer to the magnetic centre of the galaxy, I think science is understanding some of the science behind the teachings of the ancient masters. And it is high time (though Time is only a concept within our minds) because of all the suffering we are going through, and all the suffering we are inflicting on the ecosystem through our ignorance.
