I happened to notice you're a gamer from your channel, and I am a casual gamer myself. This is going to sound strange, but from a brain-hemispheric standpoint, do you think gaming is overall an exercise in left hemispheric activity or does it have more of a balance?

your talk is very cool, i have a stroke brain injury. STROKE POETOLOGY Sitting by my shrine of I-am-ness With my grandson and the man Who saved my life in a gunbattle. I go there every morning to My mantle-piece. Poetry comes out of blue-pain. Experience of something old and new. A form from a formless form-unknown grammar. Louis Mc Neice once said: poets Don’t know what they are doing, If they did it wouldn’t be done. It flows from a near-death experience. A duende, it rises from a poem, the tone And sentiment seems right, it hooks into Your being like nothing else on earth. A story or essay is something believable. A pome is unbelievable, it's like writing Your gut reaction, a skywalk, stepping Out into the blue, on a high wire-tight- Rope with a poet holding your hand. Imagine that wire? Like consciousness itself, it’s hard to put Into words, one cant find the right grammar. There are no rules to this and that is that. The diving bell and the butterfly, Locked-in default mode.

How do we make this leap forward a leap for humankind, not a leap over mankind. I work on finding ways to be motivated to tie to older women (Rosie the Riveters), and by connecting to the past, they see that we are becoming more and more left brain - forgetting the whole picture, the interrelationships, the empathy and other right-brain things that glue society together. We try not to contrast but to bring together. Opposition can be true friendship, if we see the roles of each. Poem: The Western world is finding itself left with an ever growing left brain, grasping at things, focused on one grain after another, after another. It says, "Without me, you would not continue living." While my right brain cries, time after time, "Without me you will not find an opening for a fuller whole - for the human spirit that is in awe of even the pieces in the whole. Somewhere in this world there must be places or even cultures where both sides balance what we attend to so we engage with both a map and meaning - where the whole keeps evolving while we are sustained by the grain that feeds us and by the tools and hands that mold our daily world. Do you see the same trees that I see? I see three evergreens on a rocky mountain - one big, that's me, a mother; one smaller, that's my oldest, my daughter: one smaller still, and a distance away, that's my youngest, my son. "What is man?" is a lesser question than, "What is the human family?" The human-family's will sustain itself, likely in isolated places that have had less change first. But what about woman and her left-and-right brain. I ask this genius, Iain, whom I want to know some up-coming day, "How do we evolve to include a woman's reality, especially a struggling mother's? The child needs both left-brain mapping and grasping, More importantly the child needs the right-grain meaning, the dream, the big picture where they can open their imagination, explore, and more. Do women and men have similar right-left brains to see, and go forth in, the world? Can we slow the left brain expansion that has changed us into less-whole beings over a century, revert to being more alert to the new and living? How do we begin? Do you see the trees that I, a struggling mother, see? Can you grasp the meaning of these trees that has guided me? Can we work together to reveal to our human family that the power to be better is within us? Anne Montague, rosietherivetermovement.org unedited.

I love this, but it's also naive. Blake was a radical supernaturalist - he not only identified with a real spiritual world, he claimed to visit it like a museum or university town - he went as far as to say all significant good and evil came from spirits - like his heroes in the Bible and especially the New Testament. Reducing him rationally is to fundamentally misread and misunderstand him, as even armies of his admirers do.

Conception, birth, to bear a load.... satn tricked us into the fall, thus it is him that is responsible for Original sin, not Adam nor Eve. Humanity should not be bearing the load of the dragons iniquity. What Blake tried to convey was the possibilities of waking up to the power of the imagination. It goes without saying that consciousness and conscience should be fully engaged, heaven is within us, the new Jerusalem exists in the solar plexus, when heaven , consciousness and conscience descend into the belly to guide human relations, the sacredness of human life, the interconnectivity between all of us, without splits or diviSIONs then heaven will be on Earth, well that's my verSION of reality. Try this and you may feel the waters of life flowing onto your solar plexus, it is a great feeling, it is brought about by being honest with oneself and others. I tend to find politics leads to thirst.

This presentation works the left brain. Whilst just seeing Blake's work like Leonardo's works both hemisphere's. They say a picture paints a thousand words. I agree. As erudite and scholarly Iain is, it's far too verbose and politely pompous, which I find a bit dry and boring. I in no way criticise his knowledge or ability, but feel our world is perhaps in the mess it is in because of too many words, books, regurgitating the past, not having the spark of creativity for entirely new paradigms.
