She had a stroke and lived completely in her right brain. She describes oneness with the universe. Some good insight into the brain and consciousness.

I've heard her speak; she gets a bit too much into her right brain for my tastes, tries to pass her subjective viewpoint of the universe off as "science"...

It is great to listern and know what Jill has gone through. and her experience could possible benifit others or even safe live.

However, this is not Zen at all. in fact she is attached to form. Attached to peace, silence, inner......etc.

Thus,
There is no liberation which Zen teaching lead one into. and liberation could be peace, passionate, noisy, or silence.
