View Dr Jill Bolte Taylor's Nirvana experience following a stroke to her left brain:

Beautiful speech on that youtube vid. Seriously.

It is ironic that a stroke causing trauma to the brain reveals the source of the spiritual experience.

Scotty,

 

It is a fascinating story...the question I find interesting,is it possible to experience this enlightenment without abnormal brain trauma or a near death experience ?...I have been interested in the power of surrender or letting go of our separate self or ego with some success but not as profound as the cases described.

 

There is no mention of the brain tumor location in Suzanne Segal...or any reference to the significance of brain hemisphere

There is a whole field of Scientific study/philosophy on this. It is called the Biocultural Science.

Neurobiology and Yoga

 

This is the closest understanding of Eastern Philosophy and Mind-body Sciences that Modern science has come to

Descartes postulated that the Pineal Gland at the base of the brain was the seat of the soul.
