- Relative to Dr McGilchrist's work, in this video we discuss the coincidence of opposites, William Blake's ladder as a spiral and its significance. We explore flow as asymmetry & the whirlpool of unity that is existence. We ultimately relate this to the power of poetry to touch us in wholeness without saying oppositions directly--we discuss his poetry series during Covid and the beautiful first and last poems of that series by the wonderful Kathleen Raine.
It becomes a very moving and powerful conversation and I am very thankful for it.
About Andrea Hiott: Andrea is a philosopher and advises various organizations such as Holon Labs and the Active Inference Institute. She is an author of numerous books linking mind and movement, and has long worked in areas of mobility. She is part of the Ecological Motoring Initiative, an organization which tries to imagine what forms of motoring and movement can meet the needs of the living planet within its means. She did her undergraduate work on Hegel and David Bohm. She has a Master degree in Neuroscience and her PhD is on Way-making, a new philosophy of mind. She is also the host of the Love & Philosophy series, Beyond Dichotomy, Forever Motoring, and the Desirable Unknown.
This engaging conversation delves deep into the philosophical and neurological exploration of asymmetry, flow, and the unity within the diversity of existence. Through the metaphor of a whirlpool, the intricate dance between differentiation and integration within consciousness and existence is discussed. Beginning with the enchanting metaphor of a whirlpool as emblematic of life's flow and transient nature, participants ponder how limitations and resistances give birth to beauty and form, tying this seamlessly to human existence. They explore the significance of asymmetry in the brain, the importance of intuition, imagination, and the dangers of a narcissistically driven society dominated by left-hemisphere thinking. The discussion touches on themes of poetry, nature, the sacred, and ultimately, the interconnectedness of life, suggesting that recognizing and embracing these connections enriches our understanding and experience of the world. The conversation sensitively concludes with reflections on life, death, and the perpetual influence of our existence on the flow of the universal consciousness.

Here we have a brilliant host who does justice to the amazing work of Dr. McGilchrist. Thank you both.
What a beautiful conversation!
Thank you, Dr. Iain McGilchrist and Andrea Hiot for a daily reprive of who we are and why and what it is to have a meaningful purpose and life.
With deepest reverence and respect to both of you.
🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Iain’s work creates an empirical and conceptual bridge between the material and the spiritual…a portal that invites us into a fully embodied mind if we are open and receptive to that experience.
Thank you.
❤❤ thanks again for new moments of learning and love
Maturity start when we embrace not knowing.He reminded me with A R Ammon poem Corsons inlet: I will fasten into order enlarging grasp of disorder a widening scope but enjoy the freedom that scope elude my grasp that there is no finality of vision that I have perceived nothing completely that tomorrows walk is tomorrows new walk.
Inspiring.
This was excellent. There were a lot of points of conversion and a general warmth to this conversation. Also, if someone has a pdf of "Against Criticism" please let me know!
Andrea...my beautiful! Andrea thy "i" AM beautiful! Thank you for attending unto our OWN and having sincere conversations with our pop Lain? Sincere answers will be given. Andrew carry thy comfort with Thee! As HE carries HIS COMFORT WITH HIMSELF!
I found the Pythagorean Theorem generalization of the Golden Ratio `d = (c - b)/a` scale symmetry by exploring asymmetry. It's like putting dust in the wind tunnel to observe flow.
the classic loop can be reconceptualised with visuals like the path of travel in or out of a black hole where observation of a loop is actually just the inability to perceive the incremental progress along the axis inside or outside of the black hole.
It's all about fractals
Fractals that give the ilusión of symmetry.

Hope there is more!
For thee Pop Lain and unto all my beautiful!
Pop the 1st. Step denied and the last step fulfilled! Complete
Time given for such!
so clear and so very helpful
Very nice listenable audio! Amazing! 👍
Thank you brilliant 💝💝💝🦄🦄🦄💚💚💚
Andrea our beautiful and our pop Lain! Thank you! Remember WHO said if Ye LOVE ME?
Yes remember i have Heirs Hosts commanded to provide! So unseen to many!
Bit of a long shot. But i would love to have the opportunity to ask Dr. Ian mcgilchrist A Question. After 6 year's of my own research i have found myself in the same place with the hemispheres. 🙏
Opens another sensory way of beeing in the world ..a portal.. 1:04:19 yes its like opening a new portal ... I am now reading the first book Master and its emissary in Swedish translation ..its a lot different than have listening to yt lectures.But i liked this conversation
I love that the background of her photo is so asymmetrical😢
What is wrong? Remember together! In front! Time given for such!
I'm in love
Don't mind the narrow way and the door sitteth upon the lowest seat LASTS? Pop what is the eyes of the beholder?
A very good point on social media! I use it constructively and have hardly ever used it in a destructive way.
A tremendously charming conversation ... for which the interviewer is in large part responsible, asymmetrically,
Isn’t “always becoming” a Cabalistic idea ? A Flux relativism which is opposed to the Law of non-contradiction ?
A little Child born "i" will say, what is shared "i" AM beautiful, came with sincere conversations, and thy shared Feet resting upon my Footstool? While my creation surrounding Thee all!
thank you hope we meet one day
Not all mechanisms are linear, so to equate mechanistic with simple models is disingenuous. It is enough to say our models are incomplete. The left brain builds models based on concepts and logic and the right brain builds them from experience and statistics. Both are fundamentally incomplete but improvable with more breadth and nuance of categories and more variation of experience. The key is acknowledging the incompleteness and avoiding belief or certainty.
Could I share my poems with you?
Studying education...I think these ideas and the onslught of ICTs have major implications for pedagogy and andragogy.
What is resistance? Even gravity knows WHO?
What is wormwood? An infant Daughter from Her hands. Necklace made from wood! For the True Owner. Cast upon the Waters! Indeed made water bitter! And many died due to the bitterness of the Water! Came due to revealed New! Overwhelming to some. Yes, given ABLE! Sickness will pass! Necessary for thy feet can stand and to walk forward. While WHO? Walking with thee! Yes, if ye get tired! Remember if it takes to carry thee! 1 FOOTPRINT!

leftism:
Otherwise known as “progressivism” and even more inaccurately as “liberalism”, leftism is a term originating from the French Revolution of 1789, in reference to the political faction that opposed the French (so-called) king. However, the term is currently used in common discourse to describe those criminals who actively support (or at least tacitly condone) a host of OBJECTIVELY-WICKED ideologies and practices that contravene dharma, such as non-monarchical governances and corrupt economic systems (particularly socialism, communism, fascism, and liberal democracies), egalitarianism, feminism, perverse sexuality (especially homosexuality, bestiality, and transvestism), multiculturalism, and the illegitimate abortion of innocent, defenceless, unborn children. Cf. “dharma”.
In a vain attempt to legitimize their objectively-immoral propensities, leftists invariably replace accurate terms with blatant EUPHEMISMS, such as “gay”, “sex worker”, “pro-choice”, and “queer”, and of course, coin novel words for notions that cannot exist, particularly the nonsensical term, “transgender”. Furthermore, leftists are constantly inventing truly inane, vacuous words to demonize conservatives, such as “homophobia” and “transphobia” (which literally mean “fear of sameness” and “fear of change”, respectively).
In the past decade or two (of this treatise being composed), the mass media, especially the motion picture industry and television production companies, has been aggressively promoting all the above CRIMINAL ideologies and practices, helping to expedite the destruction of human civilization. Recently, large corporations have jumped on the leftist bandwagon (so to speak), in order to profit.
As explicated in Chapter 11 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the state of being of any particular human (or any other animal, for that matter) is due entirely to his or her genetic sequencing and his or her conditioning. Therefore, the explosion of the leftist/liberal mentality in recent decades, particularly in Western countries, has been caused by poor breeding strategies overtaking the more conservative tradition of mate-selection of previous centuries (and indeed, millennia), as well as the concerted effort of Marxists to spread their nefarious ideology throughout the school system. In other words, due to the fact that criminal behaviour (especially the deviant sexual acts mentioned above) has become increasingly more tolerated, condoned, and even GLORIFIED in most countries, there has been a proliferation of corrupt genetic codes within the wider human population.
According to genealogists, for (almost) the entire history of humanity, most women have successfully reproduced, whilst a far far smaller percentage of males have bequeathed their genetic sequence to proceeding generations. Due to the gradual phasing-out of polygamous marriages in even the most conservative societies, as well as the eradication of poverty in most every country, more and more men (as well as women) have been producing offspring. Thus, the human genome has rapidly become adulterated by inferior genetic material (that is, DNA from truly pathetic, uxorious beta-males, bisexuals, and even homosexual couples who engage surrogate mothers or sperm donors in order to conceive children - something of a rare occurrence in previous centuries/millennia).
For centuries, breeders of elite animals such as horses, cattle, and dogs, have known that selecting the finest examples of a breed of animal will result in offspring with desirable characteristics. For example, present day thoroughbred horses boast a pedigree of the best-available horses from the seventeenth century. Such breeders are willing to pay enormous sums of money merely to hire the fastest stallions on earth in order for them to mate with their mares. In the case of we humans, women have traditionally chosen the most competent and masculine men with whom to bear children, and in general, have totally eschewed those males who displayed effeminate traits, and who showed themselves incapable of properly supporting a nuclear family. Unfortunately, due to rapid moral decay over the past few decades, Western women have become extremely sexually promiscuous, resulting in a multiplication of unwanted progeny (and, of course, an escalation of abortions). Boys born to single mothers often lack proper male roles models and invariably become feminized, unable (and often unwilling) to continue a strong lineage of progenitors. The solution to this problem is simply to ensure that society adheres to the principles of DHARMA (see the Glossary definition of that term, as well as Chapter 12).
Unsurprisingly, the majority of leftists find it difficult to accept the fact that their criminal mentality is largely inherited (and of course, they are unwilling to acknowledge the blatantly-obvious fact that their ideologies and practices are intrinsically sinful, wicked, evil and immoral in the first place!). It seems the consensus amongst leftist “intellectuals” is that every human mental trait is due entirely to one’s environmental conditioning and social milieu, rather than as a consequence of BOTH one’s genetic sequence and one’s life-long conditioning - a fundamentally-flawed assertion that cannot be scientifically supported. I would not be surprised if the typical leftist would believe that, if the parents of the twentieth century communist tyrant, Joseph Stalin, and the parents of the Divine Incarnation, Lord Jesus Christ, had somehow crossed the time barrier, and exchanged their baby boys shortly after their birth, that Stalin would have grown to become a Prophet for God, whilst Christ would have become a murderous, left-wing dictator!
This term was very reluctantly used in the chapter on feminism. I say “reluctantly” because it is unlikely that the term will perdure for many decades longer. This is simple deductive logic, since, as clearly demonstrated in certain chapters in “F.I.S.H”, human civilization cannot survive with such leftist practices and ideologies in place. If you happen to be reading this Holy Scripture a century or more after its conception, you will probably be residing in a nation (as opposed to a country) ruled by a monarch, following the implosion of post-modern, decadent societies. So, either the term “leftism” will eventually become redundant and obsolete, or else, human civilization will devolve into a decadent, diseased state of existence similar to that of the prehistoric era, when the peoples of the world resided in caves or shacks, subsisting on whatever food can be sourced from the surrounding bushland. I trust that you who are reading these wise words will endeavour to influence your social circles to adhere to right-leaning ideologies and practices, such as (above all) monarchical governance, an entirely free-market economy, sexual purity, veganism, and all other virtuous principles.
Fear not, for God is with you!
P.S. As a general rule, it seems (at least anecdotally) that the farther left-leaning is a person, the more physically (and of course, psychologically) UGLY is that person. Unfortunately, that does not seem to prevent leftists from propagating their mutant genes.🤡
N.B. In order to clarify the notion of inheritability, it is not being claimed that an adharmic (far-left) couple will INVARIABLY produce leftist children, but that it is more PROBABLE that they will do so, considering their genetic sequence and the environmental conditioning they are bound to impart to their children, just as two parents with a certain physiological disorder are more likely to generate offspring with that specific disease. In this regards, it is recommended to study introductory texts on epigenetics. 🧬
In my particular case, I was raised by a staunch communist, and so, was indoctrinated to believe that communism was the best course of action for a just society. Indeed, as a teenager, I even volunteered in the election campaign of a socialist politician, who eventually became the Premiere of the state of Western Australia. However, after studying dharma, I came to learn that I was misled by my father in this regard, and that the only system of governance that is dharmic (legitimate) is a divinely-sanctioned monarchy.
You sound young so there
may hopefully still be time to climb out of your ideological box.
But wow someone's really filled you up with quite the doctrine of self-righteous fantasies.
And now youve become quite the propagandists for it.
Your comment holds many of
the same beliefs Nazis hold.
Your dharma at this point appears is to propagate ignorance and emotional sensationalism
against things you don't like
or understand.
Hopefully you can discover a peace and love from which you can grow beyond the stagnation of ideologues.
You're presently deep in ideologies of authoritarianism.
You went from your father's ideals of Communism to a new
vision that parallels Nazism.
Hopefully you find a path of peace and love to lift you out of the rigid self righteous mentality you've inherited.
You sound like Adolf Hitler. I imagine you and he would largely agree.

authoritarian:
essentially, a synonym for “dictator” (see that entry, below). Just as in the case of the term “dictator”, this word is most often used as a descriptor for a leader or a ruler who imposes his or her own will upon a population, almost exclusively in a NEGATIVE way.
HOWEVER, it is important to understand that the term “authoritarian” originates from the root “author”, which simply refers to one who creates or originates something, via the word “authority”, which entails the right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. Therefore, genuine authoritarianism is a dharmic concept, because when one exercises his or her authority over his/her subordinates, it contributes to social cohesion. Indeed, human society cannot survive without proper authoritarian systems in place. It is absolutely imperative to very carefully read the Glossary entries for “dharma” and “authority” in this regard.
Therefore, it is strongly suggested that English speakers use words such as “fascistic” and “tyrannical”, instead of using the unfairly-deprecatory terms “authoritarian” and “dictator”, in reference to rulers who exercise ILLEGITIMATE dominance over a populace.
authority:
the right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. See the Glossary entry for “author” for the etymology.
The notion of AUTHORITY is intimately connected to the person or body that originates something. The author of a novel is, by definition, the preeminent AUTHORITY over his work. He has the AUTHORITY to dictate how his book ought to be published, promoted, and distributed. Furthermore, he has the AUTHORITY to delegate such rights to another person or company, if he desires.
Likewise, a mother has full AUTHORITY over the children she (pro)creates. No sane individual would ever dare presume that a mother has no AUTHORITY over her own offspring! Similarly, as the head of his family, a father has the AUTHORITY to direct the actions of his wife/wives and his children. Of course, that father is not the ultimate authority on earth - he has his own masters, such as his own father, his uncles, his employer (if he is a worker), and most importantly, his spiritual master, all of whom should exercise their authoritative positions in relation to that father. Similarly, a true king (as defined in Chapter 21) has conditional AUTHORITY over his people, even if not every single one of his edicts is perfectly in accordance with dharmic (righteous) principles. A monarch’s AUTHORITY is compromised only in the event that his rule sufficiently devolves into some kind of unholy, fascistic tyranny. And if a king’s dominion was to devolve into such a tyranny, it would robustly imply that he was never a genuine monarch in the first place.
Unfortunately, *authority* is often conflated with the notion of *power* , by both the masses, and in most dictionaries. Theoretically, any person or organization can display a force of power over another entity, yet that does not necessarily signify AUTHORITY. Thankfully, power does not always correlate with AUTHORITY. If that was the case, humble, gentle monks such as Gautama Buddha and Lord Jesus the Christ would, of necessity, have very little AUTHORITY, whereas powerful governments would have the AUTHORITY to dictate imperatives to its citizens, when in fact they do not, as they are almost exclusively illegitimate (that is, against the law, or dharma). N.B. Read Chapters 21 and 22 to understand the distinction between a legitimate government and an illegal government.

So many claims...
You appear to mistake rhetoric
and ideology for reality.
I suggest studying far more history
before continuing to assume the distinctions of authority.
