The brain has two separate hemispheres. The left side of the brain is responsible for controlling the right side of the body. It also performs tasks that have to do with logic, such as in science, and mathematics.
On the other hand, the right hemisphere coordinates the left side of the body, and performs tasks that have do with creativity, and the arts. The right side can be called a parralel processor, and the left side a serial processor.
Serial memory processing. Serial memory processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time.
This is usually contrasted against parallel memory processing, which is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously.
Our right hemisphere thinks in pictures and learns kinesthetically through the movement of our bodies.
Information, in the form of energy streams in simultaneously through all of our sensory systems.
And then it explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, what this present moment smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what it sounds like.
I am an energy-being connected to the energy all around me through the consciousness of my right hemisphere. We are energy beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.
My left hemisphere, our left hemisphere, is a very different place. Our left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically.
Our left hemisphere is all about the past and the future. Our left hemisphere is designed to take that enormous collage of the present moment and start picking out details, and more details about those details.
It then categorizes and organizes all that information, associates it with everything in the past we’ve ever learned, and projects into the future all of our possibilities. And our left hemisphere thinks in language.
It’s that ongoing brain chatter that connects me and my internal world to my external world. It’s that little voice that says to me, “Hey, you’ve got to remember to pick up bananas on your way home.
I need them in the morning. It’s that calculating intelligence that reminds me when I have to do my laundry. But perhaps most important, it’s that little voice that says to me, “I am. I am.”
And as soon as my left hemisphere says to me “I am,” I become separate. I become a single solid individual, separate from the energy flow around me and separate from you.
