Ode to the Brain - Melodysheep

[00:0.12]Ode to the Brain - Melodysheep
[00:1.15]It's amazing to consider that I'm holding in my hands
[00:5.14]The place where someone once felt thought and loved
[00:9.92]For centuries scientists have been battling to understand
[00:13.06]What this unappealing object is all about
[00:18.99]What this unappealing object is all about
[00:21.38]Here is this mass of jelly
[00:23.79]You can hold in the palm of your hands
[00:26.24]And it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space
[00:29.37]Contemplate the vastness of interstellar space
[00:30.89]Contemplate the vastness
[00:32.0]The brain has evolved from the inside out
[00:36.8]It's structure reflects all the stages through which it has passed
[00:42.12]Information in the form of energy
[00:44.68]Streams in simultaneously
[00:47.56]Through all of our sensory systems
[00:49.61]In our energy
[00:50.38]Through all of our sensory systems
[00:52.26]And then it explodes into this enormous collage
[00:55.47]Collage
[00:55.99]Collage
[00:56.64]Collage
[00:57.42]Of what this present moment looks like
[01:00.95]What it feels like
[01:03.47]And what it sounds like
[01:05.73]And then it explodes into this enormous collage
[01:10.03]Collage
[01:10.82]Collage
[01:12.12]Collage
[01:13.3]And in this moment we are perfect
[01:17.68]We are whole
[01:19.52]We are whole
[01:20.65]We are whole and we are beautiful
[01:22.38]And we are beautiful
[01:25.15]It appears rather gruesome
[01:27.88]Wrinkled like a walnut and with the consistency of mushroom
[01:41.12]What we know is encoded in cells called neurons
[01:47.27]Cells called neurons
[01:49.33]And there are something like a hundred trillion neural connections
[01:57.72]This intricate and marvelous network of neurons has been called
[01:66.85]An enchanted loom
[01:71.25]An enchanted loom
[01:76.17]The neurons store sounds too and snatches of music
[01:85.]Whole orchestras play inside our heads
[01:93.7]20 million volumes worth of information
[01:98.37]Is inside the heads of every one of us
[02:02.35]The brain is a very big place
[02:08.23]In a very small space
[02:10.77]Information in the form of energy
[02:15.2]Streams in simultaneously
[02:20.02]Through all of our sensory systems
[02:23.67]And then is energy
[02:25.02]And then century systems
[02:27.75]And then it explodes into this enormous collage
[02:32.88]Collage
[02:33.95]Collage
[02:35.02]Collage
[02:36.3]Of what this present moment looks like
[02:41.62]What it feels like
[02:44.15]And what it sounds like
[02:48.8]No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain
[02:54.38]We can change ourselves
[02:60.52]Think of the possibilities
[02:65.28]Think of your brain as a newspaper
[02:69.82]Think of all the information it can store
[02:74.38]But it doesn't take up too much room
[02:78.17]Because it's folded
[02:80.45]Think of all the information it can store
[02:84.93]We see with the eyes
[02:88.52]But we see with the brain as well
[02:92.97]And seeing with the brain
[02:97.02]Is often called imagination called imagination
[03:11.65]We are whole
[03:13.07]We are whole
[03:14.67]And we are beautiful beautiful
[03:16.18]Think of all the information it can store
[03:19.18]And then it explodes into this enormous collage
[03:24.32]Collage
[03:25.37]Collage
[03:26.48]Collage
[03:27.5]And in this moment moment
[03:30.8]We are perfect we are perfect
[03:32.98]We are whole
[03:34.]We are whole
[03:35.52]And we are beautiful we are beautiful
[03:43.82]It is the most mysterious part of the human body
[03:49.53]And yet it dominates the way we live our adult lives
[03:55.58]It is the brain
