John Stanley: Buddha Nature and the Divided Brain

As an obvious “right hemisphere” person, I think this article is fascinating. We always think about neuroscience as a an individual discipline, allowing us to explore the complicate natural mechanisms of human beings. I love the macro-perspective of John Stanley : " The 20th century can be understood as the attempt of the left hemisphere to build a planetary empire on the back of an unsustainable industrial growth economy, powered by oil, advertising and consumerism. Is this the fundamental reason we find ourselves in such a perfect storm of ecological, social and economic crises?“

We are clearly observing a global shift since few years. What if the 21th century will be the one of a more holistic view ?

If you think of it, many of the most recent admired figures, such as Steve Jobs, are all celebrated for this specific skill : they were all tremendously intuitive, following their instincts to innovate.

Maybe the time  to liberate the intuitive mind has come. I can’t wait
