Left Brain Right?

Our world has been split into a dichotomy of sorts. A dichotomy that exists in all planes of our environment, from spiritual to physical and even biological. So we have good and bad, do and don't. We also have a left brain and a right one.

The human brain has two parts, right and left, and these are connected and work in an integrated fashion. However, broadly, their function could be divided into logical and analytical for the left brain and intuitive for the right.

Often to train ourselves about the working knowledge that is so essential for our survival, we empower our left brain more than the right. We "learn". We learn from our earthly experiences. These things that we learn are trivial. These are simple algorithms at best. Things like " if I wake up late, I will get late for work" is a simple algorithm that it's defining our behaviour. Depending on the beliefs we have been fed like softwares installed in a computer, we have become so dependent on these daily algorithms!
"I need to buy better clothes to look appropriate for the meeting"
"I need to smoke to be able to socialise better"
"I need to diet"
"I need to wear such and such clothes to be morally correct"
Don't you think we are being fed different 'softwares' in our 'systems' depending on which country/faith/belief system we are born in by default? It seems like the entire earth is a giant super computer manufacturing plant!

Above all, the layout of our work enforces us to depend more and more on the logical and analytical brain, thus trapping us further. Over centuries, our spiritual side is shriveling and it isn't leading to an end of dichotomy, it is in fact creating more of it by dividing people into believers and non believers!

We are making our matrix more complex and are rejoicing at that!

It is time we learn to trust our intuitive brain. Often times inexplicable things happen. They are "inexplicable" because the logical brain cannot explain it. It doesn't mean that it is in fact inexplicable. It only means we need to use our intuitive and better half of the brain.

The right brain is what leads to serendipitous discoveries in science, for example, the structure of benzene was "discovered" in sleep.

Roger Blandford of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University says this about Albert Einstein:  "He was guided not by mathematical ideas or mathematical techniques. He was guided first and foremost by physics intuition; that extraordinarily powerful physics intuition ...served him so well..."
Back in 1917, it wasn't thought that the universe as we know it, could be ever expanding. To accommodate this left brain belief into his theory of general relativity, Einstein inserted a term called the "cosmological constant" as a repulsive force that would counteract gravity and achieve a static universe.
In 1929, Edwin Hubble's observations showed that the universe is in fact expanding. This made Einstein drop the cosmological constant, making his theory as his intuition had told him originally. He called the introduction of that constant, the "biggest blunder" of his life.

There is a fine line between always trusting your "intuition" and being delusional as often we mistake our 'thoughts' with our 'intuition'. A strong intuition, however, tells itself apart pretty clearly and is totally worth trusting it.

The question also arises that how much do we realise we are already 'in' the system?
For instance, after all this left brain versus right brain talk, how about I tell you that the left brain / right brain dichotomy has been challenged. A new book by Stephen M. Kosslyn and G. Wayne Miller argues that the left / right brain divide is largely bogus, and should instead be replaced by a top brain / bottom brain distinction.

Well! We are still talking in terms of dichotomy, God this is difficult!
