Use The Left Brain’s Limitations Poem by Margaret Alice

Use The Left Brain’s Limitations

Rating: 5.0


The purpose of life is to learn to use the left brain’s limitations –
not to escape from them – in the growing problem of consciousness:
Transcendental Meditation can help us escape one-dimensional reality,
but a total focus on the right brain leaves us incapable of mastering life
and dealing with practical problems - I am sad upon learning this;

Because I have experienced its terrible truth: Shamanistic reading
I’ve done as a child made me incapable of enjoying sensory fun;
later studies in left-brain pessimistic philosophy left me with a
reduced sense of feeling in reality – and a too strong swing back to
the sensitive right-brain feelings made it so difficult to cope with

The routine jobs of everyday; my adventures in states of consciousness
are still in its beginning stages and I’m starting to doubt that I will
ever make some headway, the problem being that I am alone in
experimenting with changes in consciousness – except for reading
books on the subject, I don’t know anybody who is doing the

Same - all material point out the dangers inherent in this kind
of experience; I shall intensely study Colin Wilson’s “Beyond
the Occult”, applying the requisite stops before tumbling
headlong into the right-brain abyss….

I think that one should indulge in both halves of the brain depending on the time of life, the situation, etc. I am sure I have inhabited one side fully for a period only to move into the other side (with more or less success) . Don't worry; I too ruined my consciousness with reading ZEN books as a teenager (of all things? and why-?) but I survived it ok, except for asking myself unanswerable questions every single day. LOL.
