Left vs Right
So many of our societal issues boil down to western civilizations overwhelming bias toward the left …
… side of the brain.
The right hemisphere of our brains facilitate: imagination, holistic thinking, intuition, arts, rhythm, nonverbal cues, feelings visualization, and daydreaming.*
Our left hemisphere is responsible for logic, sequencing, linear thinking, mathematics, facts, and thinking in words.*
Since the age of the enlightenment; Western Civilization has rejected actualizing our lives and purpose through religion, philosophy, art, and spirituality. Instead …. from the moment we are born; our educational, civic, and social institutions condition us to rely solely on the left side of our brain to make sense of our existence.
While some people are more inclined towards one side or the other on a spectrum; society only accepts the rational while rejecting the cosmic. Those of us who have the gifts of empathy, artistic acuity, and spiritual connection have our inclinations ignored and suffocated by a cultural tilt toward digitalization and isolation.
However, we can only be healthy and whole when we are in balanced connection within ourselves; with our planet and each other.
It is no wonder we are seeing a rise in all manner of suffering as our lives are increasingly treated as cells on a spreadsheet.
We cannot lose hope …
A revolution of consciousness is upon us as younger generations are increasingly awareness of where our civilization has got it wrong over the past few millennia.
A new day is coming and these are the last few hours of darkness before the dawn.

“We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim
Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere”
- Rush
