Once again., Iain McGilchrist has pierced the balloon in which our contemporary world moves without gravity. My thanks to him. My Zen master opened my life and Iain sustains me in a different way now that my teacher has died.

he is really life changing

One of the greatest thinkers of all of history

"Satish is on a percentage". To which Satish responds: "A percentage of love". So cute. Kumar is fabulously enthusiastic about Ian McGilchrist. Great talk

I'm halfway through & Iain McGilchrist has blown me away. & he is right.

At 82, I now reminisce. Pass my experience on to the younger generation. That is the R in STREAM of education. The Generational Education Cycle.!

To Understand, one needs to Listen with ALL senses, in order to Learn, to Think, and Take into account all that has been Learned, in order to say ‘ I’m in “Awe to Know Me”(Autonomy)

Wow. I just love you soo much Iain! I am soo grateful for your clear and passionate voice and perspective and valued attention in this beautiful world. It brings me to tears when I hear you speak, about beauty, the value of the right hemisphere, the balance and both needed. Just your views on the world and the exquisite way you can communicate all of this. It adds richness to my life!! We need more to speak as richly as you. Its important for our evolution and fullness of expression! I will always be grateful...tears again

Iain was on a roll here with such brilliant clarity -- amazing!! I feel like I just received a wonderful, glowing gift :-)

excelent exposition as usual by Iain,always enriching. Appreciated comments by Satish and his control of question length. Spot on.TTMWT a worthy investment.Thank you.

Marvelous indeed! Thank you so very much for sharing this. Blessings to all!

Alan Schore has contributed tremendously to neurobiological development and learning for the right hemisphere

Amazing and as usual Iain brining up so many important things to ponder on!

Full of insight and wisdom 😇

Thank you both very much for this! I've read "The Master and His Emissary" and am now reading "The Matter with Things" both exceedingly important works and I hope that McGilchrist's research and findings make their way broadly throughout human minds and institutions before it's too late. Here's something that I think underscores exactly what he teaches (and of course there's so many things), while reading his current book I will stop and search online specifically for images of what every part of the brain he writes about. What I found is that almost all brain images (not technology scans but illustrations) as much as 95% show the left hemisphere, even if I am specific in my search, such as "images right hemisphere superior frontal gyrus". Try any "images" for the right hemisphere regions he refers to in his work.

It's wonderful to discover this talk with two amazing teachers. It was distracting however that the camera image was out of focus and there were obvious sound issues as the speakers couldn't hear the questions from the audience..

Que bien ... !

Brilliantly spoken; just say it how it is! At school i was always mortified at having to dissect beautiful poems by means of pages of words of analysis. We could learn from how the Bogomils brought up their children; i'm sure none of their young ones didn't value themselves or got up to detrimental activities. Homo ludens - homo ludificatus... I'm pretty sure you would agree that sometimes being a 'good upstanding citizen by the current norm is nOt the right thing to be. Spirallings: has to be better than going 'round in circles, right? 🌳🕊💚

How you speak Satish remind me Ramesh Balaskar ...Nisargadatta translater...and this is a compliment.

I thought i knew but wood im glad to fin d you man, how can I get more

When iain spoke about the Jacob's ladder , is that the same as the fibbonaci sequence? Sounded very much the same

somehow i have a feeling that the general trouble is in what i term "lazy brain" which stops people from questioning things they are comfortable with. it started with general prevalence of laziness in a sense of idleness, hate of any physical labor or activity that takes effort and enthusiastic reliance on ever advancing technology that slowly but surely replaces people in many areas of traditional activity. its good for business as people want newer gadgets all the time and most of them are about "saving time", "comfort", "no stress" etc. which became the most desirable products. it's good for power-thirsty ambitious people too as ruling over the crowd where you know which is a stick and which is a carrot, so to speak. frankly, i see no good ending as more and more people become unemployed and free to follow their instincts and fill their lives with...war and crime. and the skeptics and thinkers are to run for the hills and hide in caves, just like you dear Iain. maybe i am having a bad day, but i can't see a path forward to become more balanced. any examples to prove me wrong are very welcome. thanks for the interesting conversation.

I was struck when he talked about the left brain reading something and believing it. I immediately thought of all the people who claim the Christian Bible or the Islamic Quran, for example, are the infallible word of God because they see it on a page. When I was first introduced to the concept of the Trinity at 13 I began my exit from the Lutheran church I had attended up to that time. It just seemed like something somebody made up and I was being told to believe it because it was written down. I have not changed my opinion. Perhaps it was the overly male representation of Father Son and Holy Ghost that first alerted me to the lack of value to me as a young woman. What does it do for you?

“That’s the way things are now !” Is the most wasteful statement in use today !

When asked, from which parent did I inherit each lobe of my brain, my answer is “I don’t know, but they are very well connected 😂!

Oh ok, most people hold or held their phones when speaking to a caller against their right ear. I can see the disturbance for the right sided brain in development. And now with all those earplugs and headphones imagine the disturbance for both sides. Just a thought..

You are so right, unfortunately…

The hemispheres functioning is the result of the mind body split. The functioning is egoic ,which has the ability to deny reality. You must understand the mind body split before understanding the hemispheric dysfunction. Does this make sense?

Very interesting - but should not the issue be about the Mind? Ancient teaching is that we should be mindful of our *thoughts*, and this does not just involve the brain (within the skull) - this brain is a component. Therefore, being a component the brain should not - I suggest - be looked at in isolation. I think that Mr/ McGilchrist accepted that in response to questions from the audience, but why or why did he not address the Mind and also the Heart ? I suppose it is essentially because Mr. M. is a scientist, albeit one who is open-minded.

John, your comment is worthy and I am disappointed no one made a response to your thoughts. I offer my reaction in good faith. To read Iain’s book was a profound experience. I would encourage you to do so as well. It took me about three months. In reading the book i quickly discovered that Iain finds multiple ways to pursue truth, and science is just one. It is the most perfect exposition …a love for science…yet a deep understanding it is only only one way of knowing. I have just started rereading 😳 it’s even better the second time. Good luck in your journey

@@peterweston1356 Well, it is said that our essence (or soul) is the eternal part having a bodily experience. It is also said that we are reincarnated until we have achieved what we have been created for. The body is therefore a temporary vehicle to be utilised in the journey as well as possible. I have not come across a book that explains all this succinctly but perhaps the Bhagavad Gita is the best expression of the lesson as imparted by Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield (which is also the battlefield of life). I hope that helps, Peter.

"Everything good has a dark side" - Iain M. I think that is an overreached assumption, and not scientifically proven. Surely not all goodness yields a counter negative. Like a baby suckling from its Mother's breast.

I'm not sure I get your point but I can say that a baby nursing for nourishment can have some down sides. If the mother is not well nourished, and many are not, nursing could be making the mother weaker and damaging her bones. The child may not be getting enough nourishment to grow well. For some women nursing is a very negative experience and I say that as someone who nursed 2 children for 18 months each. A mother may be unknowingly be providing toxins from her body. You simply can't look at that picture and say with assurance that it is all good. As I see it nothing is all black or white but the distribution may vary quite a bit in the moment.

@@steveflorida8699 You’re using the theory of relative good/bad whether you like it or not. You said things/events can be good for the majority. Exactly, good FOR… you’re talking about a relationship. You can say that this thing/event is objectively good FOR the majority. But that’s not the same as the thing/event being objectively good. As for a nursing baby, I could say that this event is bad for people who want children to grow up with little social interaction or network, so that they’re easier to control in adulthood. Yes there are such people, and a bond between mother and child is bad FOR these people with tendencies to domination. Or at least bad for their goals (whether or not these goals are even actually good for them, that’s another matter).
