And now you just got uplifted.

So we have these four different anatomically, neuroanatomically structured parts of our brain, and we can pick and choose who and how we want to be in any moment when we know what our choices are.

But we don't know what our choices are as our society because we are functioning skewed to that left-thinking portion of our brain, and everything else is running on automatic.

Logical, rational, analytical, likes to control people's places, things.

There's a me definition, ego center of I exist.

I am Jill Bolte-Taylor.

This is my phone number.

This is where I live.

I know that this is where I begin and end, where my skin meets air because a group of cells tells me where I begin and end.

But you've probably had flow moments where you were doing your sports or you were making love or you were whatever you were doing.

And you didn't begin and end here.

You were vast and open and you were this big energy ball that you are.

But the left hemisphere focuses on that little group of cells and those skill sets and the right and the wrong and the good and bad.

And that portion of the brain defines the social norm.

And we all have to fit ourselves in the social norm.

But it's only a quarter of our brain.

Well, we're out of balance.

We're completely out of balance because we're at the balance of the value of that left brain.

What's going on in the right brain?

The right brain is right here, right now.
