A Here the story of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is worth mentioning. She is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist who experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain in 1996. This permanently changed her perception of reality. She says, “It was as though my mind had shifted away from my normal perception of reality—where I'm the person on the machine having the experience—to some esoteric space where I'm witnessing myself having this experience." “My perception of physical boundaries was no longer limited to where my skin met air,” she has written in her memoir, “My Stroke of Insight".

DMN
NEURAL CORRELATE OF EGOIC SELF
The default mode network (DMN) refers to the structures in the brain which are active when we are not focused on any task in particular. If you are idle, this network is activated by default. This network is activated when we are mind wandering, thinking about others, thinking about one's self, remembering the past, and envisioning the future. This network has everything to do with the egoic self that we are identified with. The main structures of default mode network are precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex, medial prefrontal cortex and certain other areas.
##############################
Excessive activity in default mode network has been correlated with depression. It has also been found that decreased activity in default mode network correlates with increased happiness. Based my own experience and according to various studies done on mindfulness meditation, I can say mindfulness reduces the activity in default mode network and changes the perception of self. The practice of Buddhist mindfulness, witnessing and inquiring on the nature of your mind ultimately leads to removing the psychological boundaries of ‘me’ and the ‘world’.

- When life seems to suck for you, remember there's another person sitting at the other end of the stick sucking all the juice.
- Perceptions do come true, sometimes. If you think there's an elephant in the room, there will be an elephant. For most people, the thing they fear most, becomes reality.
- No one is ugly in this world. Just depends on the lens you're looking through. Sometimes, the only thing you need to change is the lens, and everything will look beautiful.
- Life is like Russian Roulette. You don’t know the chamber that has the live bullet. The secret to survive and win the game is to master the speed you spin the cylinder, and the timing, when you squeeze the trigger.
- The greatest tragedy is to deny yourself all the indulgences of life only to succumb to the temptation when you’re old enough to be called a grandfather.
- Human beings will choose to accept what they want to accept instead of the truth because it’s less painful.
- The human mind is imaginative in many ways. Men use their imagination differently from women. For example, whereas women use their minds to imagine all sorts of things about a man, when they see one, like whether the man is capable of love, men use their internal x-ray system in their brains to scan a woman’s anatomy.
- Food comprises the biggest household budget. The truth is that all our lives we are continuously working hard day and night to make money, primarily to spend it on food, which eventually goes down the drain.
- The easiest thing to do in life is to live in the comfort zone while avoiding the painful “courage zone”. The fear to take risk is just too much for our little minds to accept, which is why most people prefer the road travelled by everybody else instead of the painful road that leads to riches.
- Most people prefer the get-rich-slow path to wealth because that’s the most comfortable way to feed the mind. For this reason, they believe it will take them 20 years to become rich. Others just give up on the idea because nobody has convinced them there’s another way. Others actually believe it and become millionaires in less than a year.
