After listening to Jill Bolte Taylors interview answer the following questions one by one, and in order.
What do you [thinkyou]knowabout your self? Are you bold, immaterial, big, what you eat, a specific weight/volume/density, smart, sassy, silly, of sound mind, contemplative, good at video games, creative, reliable, unreliable, just an illusion, ,etc.?
Can we rewrite the narrative? Is the way that we describe ourselves to ourselves a powerful influence on our capacities? (i.e. Can we become moreor less creative by defining ourselves as more or less creative?)
Iflanguageisnecessary for this left-brain consciousness that we are all working so hard to develop, then what happens when language goes away? Where does I go?
What, if anything, does this tell us aboutthe self?
Feel free to add any comments, thoughts, or questions about the course or this weeks material. This Reflection should be between 1 and 2 pages in length, double-spaced.
