Some time ago I watched the video ‘The divided brain and the making of the western world’ from Iain McGilchrist. The talk was really very interesting, so I started reading his book, ‘The Master and his Emissary’ that does a very good job in looking at research on the difference between the left and right… Continue reading The Map and the Territory

It is a process that takes place with not always the same emphasis on every step. This development can also be seen in the zodiac, and in… Continue reading Following the Process
A Path for each Thought Process

Bohm uses the words that I mentioned in my previous post (relevance, understanding, divide,… Continue reading A Path for each Thought Process
