OUR MINDS — INFORMATION PROCESSING

ONE MIND WITH SEVERAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION

The wondrous information available through the Right Brain has primarily to do with the nonlogical, not illogical or irrational, information that largely falls under a title of “spiritual”. Therefore, this information is demeaningly labeled “woo woo”, superstitious, “new age” foolishness by those who worship logic and reason.

In truth, the most vital information for the development of the whole person is provided through the Right Brain. Note, not provided by as if produced by the Right Brain, but provided through it as a receiver for the most profound information we can access regarding our true reality.
