Thank you for such an inspiring excursion ~ from Iain McGilchrist’s insights into the human brain ~ via Krishnamurti’s differentiation between intellect and intelligence ~ to the importance of sustaining and reviving the relationship between Mother Nature and human nature!
Thank you especially for a great synopsis of McGilchrist's theory. This focus on the left hemisphere seems to explain very well the evolution of the anthropocentric worldview and resulting destruction of our collective home and sanity. We (collectively) know the map really well, while forgetting that the map is not the landscape! It would be laugh-out-loud hilarious, if the consequences weren't so tragic and horrific!!!
I love how you brought it all together to grounding and summer fruit 🍑🍒🍓 In our garden it's peaches and raspberries at the moment.
I'll be thinking of you and remember to do lots of grounding on our outing to the Atlantic coast next week. 💗🙏
What a lovely comment; it made me smile. I was sitting on a bench in a nearby park, and as I read your comment, some cherries just fell into my lap. Lovely fruity syncronicity:)).
You just pointed perfectly: “We (collectively) know the map really well, while forgetting that the map is not the landscape! It would be laugh-out-loud hilarious if the consequences weren't so tragic and horrific!!!”
Thank you for your thoughts. You've just transported me to such beautiful places—the Atlantic coast and your lovely garden—wonderful places to walk barefoot and feel the connection to nature.
Beautiful! The poetry of strawberries, cherries and apricots is now upon us! I love your journey and your beautiful summary here. I always get caught between the science and the spirit of everything. The brain may just be a big antenna. All I can do is live in to the questions. But a big yes to more art!heArt. Bless you 🙏❤️
"All I can do is live in to the questions." It took me a long time to fully understand what you just said.
I also believe that there are years when you ask questions and years when you receive answers, but they are so interconnected and we lose track.
I enjoy doing a memory exercise of how much I wanted to live the life I now have, and find myself grateful for the hard times, the good times, and everything in between. Yes, we may have a large antenna in our brains, but also the inner capacity to let the hearts to see, eyes to gather information, and bodies to feel whatever comes our way. Yes, to more and more art! ❤️
