The brain is, in my thinking, not a manufacturer of thoughts, but rather a receiver. It picks up transmissions from what David Bohm calls the \u201cimplicate order.\u201d (I wonder, though, if he ever recognized the profound dis-order that operates in that realm, mixed with certain kinds of order.) Here\u2019s my drawing of three perspectives on the relations of right and left brain:<\/p>\n

\"2brain1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice between the right and left lobe there\u2019s a sort of connection that has the Latinized name, \u201cthe corpus callosum.\u201d It\u2019s a bundle of nerves that carry messages back and forth between the right and left hemispheres of the cerebrum. The picture below offers a sort of diagram or schematic of the images that typically pass over the corpus callosum over the course of a few seconds (when the brain is excited) or few minutes. The right brain presents to the language-ing parts of the mind the fertile flow of images, and the right brain further focuses and reduces the intensity of this flow. Otherwise we\u2019d go mad with the full mystical mind-blowing-ness of what the mind potentially can perceive. (Part of evolution involves our minds learning to tolerate and process constructively much more information than it used to.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible to fully represent a thought or image as if it were a thing, but I\u2019ll try anyway. There\u2019s a side view of a whole thought:<\/p>\n

\"wholethought\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I you would cut that across like a loaf of bread, you\u2019d get a \u201ccross section,\u201d which shows you the inside as well as the outside boundaries. Below is a cross-section<\/em><\/strong> of the whole bundle of ideas that cross over the corpus callosum. It\u2019s expressed as a mandala of many different thoughts transferring from right to left, some from left to right. As cross-sections you don\u2019t see the whole thought, but rather a slice through, across. , thoughts that wobble and squirm. Contemporary neuroscience is nowhere near able to capture the contents of mind in any form, only rather as \u201cechoes\u201d that register that certain parts of the brain, the receiving-transmitting centers, are stimulated. The picture below offers you a sort of flash of what this dynamic looks like. It\u2019s experienced by the owner of the brain as a diffuse idea that occurs, pops into the mind, a complex of ideas such as: \u201cI wonder what God\u2019s about and if He is anything like my dad? Nah. Maybe a little. I don\u2019t know.\u201d Plus a bunch of intuitions, many of which have not yet found ways for being expressed in words.<\/p>\n
