Left Brains With Right Hearts

LeftBrain ego challenges are also investments in cooperatively struggling with RightBrain understream flow, understories of recreative grace, positively trending karma, or against, trying to swim directly upstream, competing with RightBrain's laterally co-arising flow skills of integration. Our moment by ego/ecoconscious moment choices are in where and how and why to LeftBrain invest in positive challenge and/or divest of cognitive negative problems. While this either-or competition is actually also both-and cooperation when we are at our Left-Right best, most maturely skilled in deep ecological learning, we lean more heavily into both-and challenges with RightBrain integrative polypathic multicultural comprehension, co-empathic co-arising Left/Right mutual-subsidiarity trust, and more lightly on either-or mistrust problems with LeftBrain ego and anthrocentrist ignorance of RightBrain's timeless understory of nutritional co-gravitating integrity. Minds, brains, hearts, lungs, hands, feet are embodied, part of an organically healthy, and sometimes more unhelpfully pathological, ecopolitical biosystem. So LeftBrain deductive reasoning, logical rationality, is also RightBrain embodied ecological, phylogenically emerging within holistic matriotic nurturing, growing out from Ego/Self:Eco/Other co-embodied composting wombs co-arising nondual polypathic power-with empathy. Following Julian Jaynes' ethological theory of bicameral emergence, and phylogenic historic-memetic evolutionary evidence, LeftBrain's polynomially languaged rationality is primally embedded in RightBrain unlanguaged unconscious notnot Tipping Point ecological-moral integrity development, discernment toward multicultural integrity as climate health norms, ego-values rooted in ecological thermodynamics of living systems. LeftBrain egocentrism merges with RightBrain eco-consciousness as we mature by extending our empathic skills discerning ecological health cooperatively, co-redemptively, co-mentoringly, democratically by divesting of unhelpful self-and-other condeming pathologies, an unwillingness to mentor co-empathic "both-and" acclimation; especially when we feel surrounded by a mistrusting "either-or" competitive, and not quite so healthily democratic, mutually-condemning, sometimes paranoid and terrifying, ego-supremacist environment. After all, what else could divine with human natural transubstantiation be, other than this ecological polypathic stretch of our multicultural WinWin Golden Rule? Left to Right and back again, reiterative enthymematic revolutions of Left-Explicate and Right-NotNotImplicating-integrating co-arising polypathic communications of climate health and notnot dissonant demonic noise?
