Tracking a for me not yet totally resolved question these days, I fell over stunning information which just complete a lot of my understanding.
Dealing with the issue of what happens if a lefthander is, by force or just by adapting himself, turning or has been turned into a 'righty' and getting more and more understanding how severe the impact is for the person's whole life, for the way he perceives information and for the ways he is forced to act, especially if he can not step out and take a break, the functionality of the brain is of course a major interest to explore much more. We all are running around with such a thing, so just by this background we should be interested in what that thing is that directs us 'up there'.
As everyone knows these days our cerebrum consists of two halves or hemispheres which can interact via a neuronal tissue named the 'Corpus Callosum'. To not get too deep into it the picture here basically shows this connection (whether it is an information highway or an overgrown path is another thing). And as I do not claim myself a scientist who focusses on details but just a tracker who explores the deep forests and finds the pathes and links, I will leave it with this. If you are more interested you will find lots of very good information on neurobiology yourself. Not that this discipline is a new dogma, it just provided a lot of complementing information to the knowledge that is already around, and may help us a lot to understand and find the bridges. Science is good as long as humans 'explore' while still keeping their feet on the ground and as long as they do not fall into the trap that the need to 'exploit' for any goal and for any price - something humans unfortunately like to just too much.
You read me writing a lot about 'becoming whole' and these kind of things, and certainly you got the hint that the linguistic etymology of 'whole' and 'holy' is a direct one. It is about - integrity.
What we have been tought in pitiful Western conditioning is that there are the holy ones, the saints, on one side whom we look up to and adore, and we, normal humans, are full of 'sin' (catholic church and other churches as well like to project this on us and implant it in their flock so eagerly). Dual thinking at its best. Black and white - one side and the other side, left and right (and how wrong that was interpreted!) and none and nothing is inbetween. No link and road, so no way. People get disabled instead of enabled. It's such a pity because that is not what earlier spiritual leaders wanted to let us know. Of course, we must ourselves find out our limits, not dwell in grandiosity instead, and get to know who we are and how we are.
On the way, we get blocked by the images we got implanted - unless we started to doubt, rebel and start to ask 'why'. Why should that be so? Is that a universal law, indeed? Just because some old guys say and some submissive, convenient or fearful housewives (I explained 'wife' etymologically connected to 'wily' in an earlier post) support it, and implant it into their next generation, their children, should we so easily accept? It's the mothers who immensely form the kids, boys as girls, to a very high degree. So what will they teach them if they themselves never face 'real and full life' at all and have learned to instrumentalize and exploit 'their men' instead? What does this mean for the involved men? I will come back to it another time, as really a basic precondition to lead a satisfying life is to 'divorce your mother', and that is something a man said, not me. It is essential to 'divorce' the false beliefs and preconditioning we underwent, looking for and inventing new ways, opening the eyes to what is around. And when we under-stand, we also may forgive. Each time has its own challenges and it is definitely important to understand what made people act the ways they did.
The possibilities are. It's us who got to realize and wake up from paralysis or slumber.
We are full of mistakes as none is perfect - even if some of us are heavily conditioned to strive this ideal of perfection while others have given up at an early stage and have submitted to just float with the stream. An essential message indeed is that we may love ourselves also with our mistakes and imperfection, and the same way love others, imperfectly. None here on this planet is beyond the vessel that is our bodies, and we are limited. Fact. I showed other examples that it actually is an art to train to overcome the limits we usually think there are. Our bodies follow us willingly to where we lead them. To a certain degree, of course, but that is much further than most of us believe they can.
But back to the duality of the brain.
Essential is that the Corpus Callosum connects the two hemispheres to enable us to act using the qualities provided by both and in harmony or at least in exchange and communication of information.
What happens if not and the Corpus Callosum, the information highway between the 'halves that should make one', is diminished or in the worst case, it is severed, you can get an impression by these little films. I am sorry, the first one touched me quite a lot because I always have a severe problem about abusing our co-creatures (and still am blessed with the gift called empathy; I know that some are not).
As the information is in there and it is already existing, we may also use the information to accomplish our lessons learned.
An other interesting one (they say it does not inflict his everyday life with a kind of simple routines, anyway - but I wonder how it effects his life quality regarding re-lations, for instance. I have reasons why.):
His last statement is somewhat weird, but anyhow he's a scientists in a left-brain predominated environment, and they have undergone an educational brain-directing of an own style together with quite some ego-boosting treatments, too. Like in some documentaries where the lead mare is turned into a 'stallion' though it is completely evident it is a female, just to prove the pre-set images. 'Invention' namely is not located on the left brain hemisphere. The left is linear and analytic but definitely lacks the power of creation by putting the pieces together in a way that makes good sense as you can easily see in vid no 1 around 9:00 ff. On the other hand, the left brain is good when the picture of something that was 'invented' or created needs to be broken down into the steps to realize the vision. That is why the connection and interaction is so much essential. Nevertheless, we can excerpt the essences and put it together the right way.
As we know about neuroplasticity, it is us who have the power to form our brains - just by using them and by the ways we use them and what we feed them with.
Neuronal connections can be established at any time in life. Again, it's all up to us to explore and find out and draw our conclusions. We can learn about us or we can reject ourselves and close our doors. Free will, all the time.
There is no escalator into self-determination.
There are only steps and stairs.
And it costs effort, this is clear for sure.
But if we try to look at it like at a kind or workout where we know we feel much better afterwards, it is easy to go for it even if it looks exhausting at some points.
And I know well it is - exhausting. I had to break my brain completely and had to rewire it all anew. The good part for me was that I always had doubted the dogmata, resisted the pressure, even if often enough it struck me totally to the ground, and I had kept the eyes and access open deep inside. And courage, is also what is needed much. Courage to make mistakes and learn to accept that we always make mistakes on our ways. A child who learns to walk will always be unsecure at first, will stumble, fall and hurt itself until it has learned to walk and run actively and self-determinedly.
It's a process, and actively processing is what is required.
What is most important is to realize that we, you and me as you are able to read this information and many other information, too, are extremely privileged. Many don't have the privileges of reading and access to computers and information and such. Isn't it worth to make something from the gifts we have? For me it is, and even more, from privilege results the response to it. Call it responsibility.
Enjoy your self truly, to day, you never know if the same chance is given tomorrow as well,
Lyn
