Understanding the Bible through Neuro Science

I am going to try and help simplify your spiritual journey and Bible understanding.

For the last several days, I have been watching Youtube video interviews with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor - a Harvard trained Neuroanalyst who suffered a stroke in her Left Brain and experienced life through only the Right Brain hemisphere for 8 years, while she was waiting for her Left Brain to rebuild itself.

Her famous TEDTalk is titled “My Stroke Of Insight”, and I highly recommend her material. She published a book titled:
Whole Brain Living which you may order from her link!

Now, how does this tie into the Bible teachings? In particular Ephesians 2:14,15

First of all, a warning It seems you can’t get any of the many Bible translations to agree on what the verse is meant to say. I am going to quote the BLB version for this instance.

To arrive at a more accurate translation, it does help to consult the Interlinear Greek Text for a wider array of words and definitions that could be used in gaining a better understanding.

“For He Himself is our peace, having made both one and having broken down the barrier of the partition of hostility, having annulled in His flesh the law of commandments in ordinances, so that He might create in Himself the two into one new man, making peace,”

It’s highly unlikely that you will ever figure out (from studying line upon line in your Bible) that this is talking about your BRAIN; the 2 Brain Hemispheres that in the average person function separate from each other. Which results in the “house divided against itself”. Lots of confusing Bible jargon.

Now, these are all wise sayings from Jesus and other Bible characters for back in their day, but to this day most Bible students do not know what those passages are going on about. It came to me by personal revelation, an ‘aha’ moment some time ago. And I have been talking about this for some time now.

When I was recently introduced to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, I was delighted with glee that finally we have someone (a Soul who incarnated for this very purpose) who can give real context for these obscure and encrypted biblical texts and parables, and give them meaning in intelligent and contemporary language.

You will understand clearly what the parables in the Bible are hinting at, once you spend some time listening to Dr. Jill Bolte. Save yourself a lot of time, trouble and woo-woo… and get straight to the core of the mystery.
