Philosophy

Humans exist in a state of duality, exemplified by the contrasting functions of the left and right brain, hands, eyes, arms, legs, and ears.

Furthermore, the left and right hemispheres of the brain are believed to serve distinct functions. The left brain is associated with logic and problem-solving, often limiting our ability to explore a wider range of solutions. In contrast, the right brain is more creative and readily accesses numerous potential solutions. The left brain is thought to take a ‘snapshot’ of the right brain, which embodies the ‘all mind,’ where all experiences, solutions, technologies, inventions, and innovations can be found.

Given that OCD is a relatively common condition, it appears that our duality—rooted in the split that occurs upon entering this world—reflects an ongoing struggle between the left and right brains to reconcile and access the ‘all mind.’ This process may be hindered by a lack of understanding of how to retrieve information from the right brain to find solutions. Consequently, this impacts our ability to balance our biosphere and physio-sphere by effectively tapping into the noosphere.

This means that our difficulty in connecting the logical and creative parts of our brain affects how well we can maintain harmony in our environment (biosphere) and our physical well-being (physio-sphere). This also makes it harder for us to access shared knowledge and ideas (noosphere) that could help us find solutions.

Adding to the complexity of our duality is the distinction between desire, linked to the right brain, and will, associated with the left brain. The current education system often overlooks our innate desires that help us discover our individual purpose and true potential. Instead, it tends to emphasise social development and collective expectations, which can pressure us to conform and suppress our personal aspirations.

The concepts of thrownness and facticity highlight how our circumstances and choices shape our experiences, leading to a profound sense of anxiety about the unknown trajectories of our lives. This anxiety stems from the weight of responsibility that comes with free will—decisions made with intent and self-motivation can feel overwhelming, especially when considering the diverse paths one could take. It’s intriguing how, despite our desire for freedom, many people seek escape from the burden of choice. Embracing truth, while essential for a fulfilling life, can indeed intensify this anxiety as it requires confronting the complexities of our existence.

By harmonising both hemispheres of the brain through the influence of nature and spirit, we can attain a deeper, more holistic understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. This triadic approach—melding body, mind, and spirit—can facilitate profound personal growth and the rediscovery of our true identity.

By harmonising the brain’s hemispheres through the influence of nature and spirit, we can achieve a deeper, more holistic understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. This triadic approach—integrating body, mind, and spirit—facilitates profound personal growth and the rediscovery of our true identity. It also connects to the concept of racial memory (associated with the right brain), often mischaracterised as ‘junk DNA’ by science. Racial memory appears to encompass all information related to our ancestral lineage, suggesting that we can more readily and deeply connect with others from the same generation, sharing similar energies.

The responsibility rests with each human to reach within, do self-psychology every day and get acquainted with their true identity. We can harness our energy to develop strategies that help us stay focused on discovering our unique purpose, allowing us to live with intention and joy.
