The Whole-Brain Path to Peace - James Olson

The common left brain/right brain theories may or may not be true, but there's no doubt that basing our thoughts, words and actions on love rather than fear is a great idea. I'm a bit doubtful that women are less dualistic, less fearful or less judgmental. Science has not proven that consciousness is confined to the brain. I've heard of a different distinction that I like, which is body mind/spirit mind. The body mind is focused on the survival of our physical body, which has an element of fear. It sees us as separate and could also be called our ego. The spirit mind is focused on our unity with everyone, which is where love comes from. Our thought, words and actions that come from love, come from the part of us that is divine, which cannot be confined to a part of our physical body. When we look at things from the point of view of unity and divinity of all, love is very logical. My logical mind sees that war is stupid and doesn't help much in the long run, but my nondual mind says that even though war has killed many bodies and produced a lot of physical and emotional pain, no one has ever killed a soul. We leave this world as intact as we enter it. Great show anyway.
