The capacity to make a body lose consciousness is in the brain stem. This tragic piece of information went straight to the brain stem and caused it to stop functioning for a split second, bringing about the fainting spell. Why? Because it was information that was not subject to an analysis by the neocortex and went straight to the brain stem.
Prof lee says here is a true story, reported in Korean newspapers in the mid-seventies. A mother whose little child had somehow slipped into a tiger’s cagier the metal bars of the cage apart with bare hands and rescued the child. Afterwards, she couldn’t move the bars even a millimeter, despite using all her strength. How did this happen? Where did such strength come from? It came from the power of her brain stem, activated when the information that her child was in mortal danger was registered with purity and urgency, and not filtered through the neocortex. This is the same type of extraordinary powers we read about in the Bible when a cripple suddenly walks and an incurably sick child wakes up smiling at a word from Jesus. The total belief in Jesus’ healing powers and divinity, registered by the brain stem directly, brought about such a miracle. Peter walking on water is another example.
