The process of enculturation which includes schooling and 'education' focuses on left brain thinking/understanding/perception. The right is stiffled and neglected. It's as if a tree grows with one side completely shaded. The branches on the shaded side don't grow very much while the branches on the unshaded side grow abundantly. So abundantly that they actual further shade the branches on the shaded side.

What's a poor tree to do? Having grown in a much less than ideal environment, to the tree this is the normal state of things. 'Ain"t nothin wrong with me.'

Sometimes things happen to bring light to the other side. A nearby tree falls or is cut down. A severe storm breaks many branches off the dominant side, allowing more light to reach the once shaded side. Over time there may be balance.

Yes, it's kind of mind-boggling to realize how much we (or some of us) have been deceived by LH thinking, about the holy in particular. Even though the transcendent is kind of staring us in the face once we change our perspective (to a more RH mode?). Thanks for sharing.

Typo: “…for all intensive purposes…” should read “…for all intents and purposes…”
