of her brain-related functions. As described in her book, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey, she became the witness to her stroke, which initially left her unable to talk, walk, read, write or remember anything prior to that occurrence. As her left brain shut down,
Taylor lost her ability to process all language; with her mind suspended in newfound silence, she experienced an unprecedented sense of deep peace. She also experienced an inability to visually distinguish edges and boundaries between herself and the outer world. Absent conventional orientation, “I could actually see that my skin was not my physical boundary. “As a result of such a glorious state of blissful realization that I am—as we all are—connected to everything and every- one around us, I no longer see myself as a single, solid entity, separate from other human beings,” advises Taylor. “Al- though my left mind still thinks of me as a fragile individual, capable of losing my life, my right mind realizes the essence of my being as eternal life.” She now un- derstands that she is part of the cosmic fl ow of energy, which she characterizes as a tranquil sea of euphoria.
Present Possibility In The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth, author Gerald L. Schroeder, Ph.D., suggests that each of us is a part of the universe seeking and fi nding itself. Could it be that without the mental fi lter and self-limiting beliefs, we are free to consciously know our higher state of wholeness and the truth of our magnifi cence? Upwards of 8 million people that
have experienced their own NDE are trending the world toward a tipping point into the comforting awareness that anything is possible.

Anita Moorjani, author of Dying to Be Me, sums up her answer in one word: Fear. “I was killing myself, and cancer saved me,” says Moorjani, whose book documents her near-death experience (NDE) and the higher realm she encountered when her body shut down. Allowed to identify with her true magnifi cence, undistorted by the fear generated by her own lifelong self-judgment, self-criticism, worry and lack of self- forgiveness, she returned with a vital, heartfelt message. “Everyone is an amazing, magnifi cent being, with great capacity for health, happiness and joy. Although we’ve been conditioned to believe that we need to pursue success and learn to improve ourselves to be happy, such steps are unnecessary, because we already are all we are trying to attain,” she says. “I’d spent a lifetime feeling inadequate, beating myself up for not meeting my own expectations,” she continues. Through the clarity of dwelling in the NDE realm, she understood that the cancer wasn’t a punishment for anything. “It was just

my own energy manifesting as cancer, because my fears weren’t allowing me to express myself as
the magnifi cent force I was meant to be,” advises Moorjani.
She hopes that her presentations to medical professionals and public speaking will infl uence how the health profession views cancer and other diseases and illnesses. “Treatment needs to be about more than medicine, because so much of disease has to do with our emotions,” she imparts, “especially the ones we direct toward ourselves.” Through this life-enhancing experience, Moorjani came to understand why she owes it to herself, everyone she meets and life itself to always express her own unique essence. “Trying to be anything or anyone else doesn’t make me better—it just deprives me of my true self and keeps me from interacting authentically with others,” she explains. Moorjani now knows that all life in the universe is one and our core is love. “I was overwhelmed by the realization that God isn’t a being, but a state of being… and I am that state of being… pure consciousness.”
