%TWO CULTURE BRAIN CONFLICTS 781218
Perhaps our "right brain" is specialized toward
focusing upon desires, ways, and satisfaction; our "left
brain" upon purposes, formal methods/techniques, and
goals. The foci are parallel to each other and
complementary, but not alike. Because of the similarity
of foci we may substitute the foci of one brain for the
similar foci of the other brain---as if they were adequate
substitutes for each other. If our desires are prohibited
by others we may repress them and substitute purposes in
their place. If our ways of coping with situations
according to deeply rooted instincts and intuitions are
judged primitive, we may repress our primitive natures and
substitute sophisticated scientific methods and
techniques. If satisfaction through primitive pleasures
are inhibited as animalistic we may become indifferent to
them and substitute in their place rewards for achieving
goals and fulfilling expectations defined by technically
oriented others.
In rebelling to such substitutions some of us may
make contradictory counter affirmations which reaffirm our
natures which facilitated our biological survival over
thousands of centuries. This is joined the
disagreement/conflict between people dominated by
different brains. The disagreement/conflict can not be
resolved in terms of the affirmations of either side of
the brain.
Only love can transcend the disagreement, the
conflict, between the two brains. Efforts to assign a
victory to one brain or the other will only intensify the
conflict. The conflict may be transcended only by
promoting greater communication between the two brains,
not by actions which will inhibit communication. Efforts
to sharpen the differences will not lead to victory over
the conflict. Ideals, principles, and conceptions of
perfection will not lead the way to what they purport to
point; but to intensification of misunderstanding,
blockages to communication, conflict, and violence.
We need to seek out, recognize, and respect role-
models who in their being and doing demonstrate that their
two brains are in regular dialogue with each other and
with other persons. Such real persons may lead us to
transcend the differences which divide us---and enable us
to satisfy each other's hungers.
