Iain McGilchrist is the greatest thinker of our time. He explains modern reality of mind and brain. If we understand what he says it is our only chance of finding a way through the black hole that modernity has created.
Iain McGilchrist is certainly a giant intellect of our times, growing and expanding the great tradition of mind sciences pioneered in recent modernity by the likes of Freud, Jung, Neitzche, William James, Wilhelm Reich etc etc.. He is a rare treasure in a sea of profane mundanity. His books, lectures and discourses should be made essential learning in every educational institution worldwide. We are really, really fortunate to come by all this knowledge for free. Gee !! Thank u Iain & thank u U-tube. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼.
Absolutely loved this! The distinction made between knowing as an object (Wissen), and knowing in relationship (Kennen), is crucial. Language simultaneously enables and hinders communication. Ian’s description of the divine as bringing the world into being, rather than having made it, brought to mind a quote by Goethe which I have on my kitchen wall: “Ich bin ein Teil des Teils, der anfangs alles war, ein Teil der Finsternis, die sich das Licht gebar. “ (I am a part of that which in the beginning was everything; that darkness which gave birth to light.)
Thank you for posting and thanks to Iain McGilchrist for his insight and indepth knowledge. His work has put so many of my mental puzzle pieces together. The need for the left hemisphere to ignore and/or eradicate what doesn't fit does remind me of the seemingly neverending quest of "developed/developing" countries to destroy native cultures that seem to be much more rooted in the right hemisphere.
Dr. Ian, I am truly thankful for this lecture on the right and left hemisphere and the many frameworks for explaining these ways we think. Over the past two years. God has opened to me through the right hemisphere and allowing me to overcome the legalistic form of Preaching, and now allowing me to operate and function in this life with a total new way of being. This has helped me place into words and thoughts the often unexplained spiritual experiences along this new path. Thank you for your work.
I saw a nature program where the tiger was struck by a poisonous snake. He sat there almost like in a very intentional ferocious meditative state. Somehow he purged the poison. It was as though he was tapping some external force or “will.”

This is just divine!!!!!Thank you❤ David Bohm and Krishnamurti, talks. Beautiful. ❤️Thank you, Dr. McGilchrist all the books and poetry! Rumi , Milton, " Paradise Lost" Eastern Philosophies unbelievably so lit up.
I’d like to get Dr McGuilchrist’s view on my observations of patients with Parkinson’s (not mentioned in Master and Emissary) what appears to be right brain deficit: increasing paranoia and fixations and freezing - inability to take the next step (unless asked to step over a drawn line) but ability to dance to familiar music.
The catch is, if what he says is understood within the realm of language and reason then we are creating the illusion that we have understood. The trick is not to force understanding using reason but to wait for the understanding to take place on its own.
Brilliant, but there is no mention of The Heart in this Union of opposites, The active Heart Centre is part of the Left & Right brain harmony. The Heart is third component as The Longing is a physical inner sensation of the seat of the soul. This is my experience. 💗💗💗💗💔❤️🩹♥️💝
I'm very grateful for the lecture format you've shared with us Iian, For it seemed to allow your unique soul to fly more freely, rising ever more true to your long sought vision that we were thereby blessed to glimpse. Thank you very much. I hope you'll share more with us soon.
Ian is a brilliant mind on this three dimensional matter reality, trying to understand existence that can only be known on higher planes. When he passes onto the next plane, he will understand more. I hope so will us all.
The books was a great which the example of the Rabbi. Yes, I see it. There is two methods. Leterial and legalistic which is left hemisphere and imagination and metaphor right hemispher. This is like the left side of brain that see’s language, category and order which the right hemisphere sees things as they are as in nature and they aren’t defined that is for the left side. Great insights. Thank you.. Downey California
I was surprised when Dr McGilchrist spoke about Kabbalah and the depth of Judaic thought. Judaism has been so tradused in the Christian West to the point of near extinction. A gift that has been left unwrapped. A book by Rabbi David Cooper , " God is a verb" unwraps the idea of God as process. A big subject written with a light touch.
The difference between an explanation and understanding... If I understand (haha) McGilchrist correctly, the analytical, singular-linear left hemisphere looks for explanations: simplified, often reductionist models which are therefore graspable and manipulatable, like objects. Understanding, on the other hand, is more of the right hemisphere, and is more like being open to the pattern of the situation itself. Not grasping it, but making oneself open to it. It is therefore not quantifiable, but closer to John Vervaeke's Perspectival and Participatory knowing: knowing what it is like to BE a given thing in a given situation, and knowing what it is like to DO a given action (often including a metaphorical or as he calls it Religio experience).
Tis' better to find "balance" between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Nevermind requiring one hemisphere to dominate the other. If anything, the right hemisphere is exceedingly deceitful. Beware of what you wish for.
I understand his emphasis on the unifying potential of religious ritual. However, as a survivor of religious ritual abuse, I would caution that there is a very dark side to this- when ritual is used to harm and manipulate the believer. There can be that left brain reductionism (of the object to a function of the agenda of authority leaders) masking as the unifying ritual.
I don’t think there is anything that is fundamentally right or wrong. Religion included. All things have their place, and is determined by the now. What we have is the interchanging dilemma that happens between harmony and chaos. Consciousness is just there to observe and rationalize what it will never understand.
@@Godspeedysick hence I stated the “dark side “ not “all sides “ religion though is you look at its genealogy -a very huge dark side . To know history this cannot be ignored . Spirituality as a personal experience and choice is not the same as compulsory “god authority “ belief and obedience . Indoctrination of children and vulnerable adults is a crime against the soul. Negation of choice is the death the brutal death of spirit .
@@abcrane I love a good Matrix myself. Funny enough I’m finding it much more difficult to watch movies lately. I think it’s because of how close they are with current reality.
Shattering, then putting together again more beautifully than before (Tikkun). Define "more beautifully than before". The Great Reset people have their very specific idea of shattering and of "building back better" (define "better"), "more beautifully than before".
Very helpful. Thank you. As I try to talk to a flow of twenty somethings that come through my youth Hostel about God, the central issue is usually about the exclusivity of Christianity, that is, the claim that in some way Jesus life, death, and the historical resurrection are unique, and that belief/trust in that uniqueness is requisite for being Christian. The Bible seems to support that view. If we are to be in conversation with the multitudes of these "spiritual but not religious" people, and with those who lean toward taking the exclusivity of Christianity seriously, we have to talk about how the Bible can be interpreted less exclusively, and the relationship bt christianity and world religions. Does anyone know of a good resource for that?
"What are we to make with the cosmos and our place in it?" Can you imagine how big (from the perspective of what we know about space) the "cosmos" is? And can you imagine how small the space you affect on Earth is, how small the space we can inhabit? "What are we to do with the cosmos and our place in it?" Anyone who asks such a question is somehow not quite right in the head. It shows religious megalomania. I would replace this question with: "What should we do with the space we inhabit on earth?" That is the burning question today. The problem is human megalomania. It seems to be a temporary recipe for success in evolution, but it is threatening to get out of hand or already has.
Just as the dynamic interaction of Yin and Yang expresses the Tao, so does the dynamic relationship of Attention and Intention express the Awareness, the Psyche. The great advantage of the latter conceptualization is that it is in individually personally familiar terms. You can operate Attention and Intention from the vantage point of Awareness to do real personal work, of your own design! So, I'm not finding the left/right hemisphere interpretive framework especially illuminating.
Every video over 10 minutes should come with a bullet point list to highlight main ideas and information shared. It just takes way too long to sit through these videos.
I tend to get very upset when something has errors in it. Even myths and poetry. Even art. The way I get around this is by my interpretation. I look actively for the positive message in even the worst art. Because even a urinal in an art show as art can make you think, make you question and learn and grow. It can propel you into action-especially if you really have to go to the bathroom. Which I do right now… see U l8ter 😳😂 I think I am on the spectrum in a meta-sense. People with Aspergers don’t like change, but I’m the opposite because everyone on earth is wrong. So I am like wanting the Kmart underwear and judge wapner of the world to be exactly right and beating my head against a wall. Because people don’t listen and can’t change. The reason it’s so upsetting is because I’m not actually upset because I want control but because they are going to die if they don’t get this. And since I see all the natural laws of information and read the writing on the wall, I can clearly see it. An aeronautical engineer can look at an early flying machine and tell you if it will fly, and stuff like that. Ok now I’m going…. You nearly made me wet my pants.
This approach needs to guide our education systems; instead, music, art, etc are eliminated, while the emphasis is on left brain enhancement, just more of what is the problem.
Yeah, he talks real good. It's just the wrong direction if you're looking to get real personal work done. "As soon as you think you've understood it you're wrong" just means you've jumped to a conclusion, which is a procedural error, not a mystical insight! Yeah, "love is a disposition" to, I would say, associate. If you have to get more particular you end up with an assortment of "types" of love, which is actually less useful. Poetry won't get the job done!
It is very unfortunate that Iain refuses to subordinate himself to the Absolute Personal Creator Who is eternal, distinct from space time physical created reality, which is the only real Right Life Ontological Trinity. In the book of Genesis we find created humans have a physical biological life body like the animals, but God breathes in the breath of lives and then the human becomes a created person, living soul. As a created person, man has responsible decision making, so a prohibition is established which he disobeys using The Lie info of Lucifer in the form of the snake, who in Isaish 14 SELF determined "I will make myself like the Most High" This is the same falsehood Lucifer tempts the humans with. The imitation of SELF determination and knowing of reality is a counterfeit, not the Real thing. So Iain here as elsewhere does the same thing, starting/ending/limited to Autonomous Independent SELF, no relationship to the Rightness Life Owner and Controller of reality, hence existing in spiritual deadness because the Personal Creator is Supreme and does not in Authority tolerate validity of rival reality determines. Thus sin identity and sinning functions are condemned to eternal punishment in deadness and darkness of pain. But God loves the human persons He created who need a different identity, so God becomes identity of perfect sinless humanity to take the deadness punishment on His own Perfect Self. Since each human is a person, he must decide for himself if he will receive the free Gift of eternal Right Life Identity and function offered to him, and that is to trust God, Who in Right Life Truth cannot lie in His promise, to save him from his destiny of eternal disconnection of deadness and punishment pain. This is your opportunity and option Right now, will you abandon you imitation in rebellion and simply trust believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? Now the answer to Iain's confusion of not being connected correctly to the Personal-Infinite Right Life Creator as the Ultimate determination reference point of reality is found in UA-cam videos by Gregg Bahnsen and in books by Francis Schaeffer (3 book collection Trilogy) and by Cornelius VanTil and by Rousas John Rushdoony (The One and The Many, By What Standard, and The Word of Flux) all of which I urge you to consult.
@@skylinefeverThank you for your reply. I am not sure if you are being cynical or positive in response. The Personal Infinite Creator has given each human person that He created the personal limited responsibility of deciding for, or against, subordination to Him and His Rightness Life Identity and Truth, so there is uniformity of causes and certainty of results in an ordered system that is open to change by persons. Thus we can each choose to trust and depend on, or be subordinate to Him because He really does love each one of us. The space time cosmos continuum is not a deterministic machine. He did indeed show up in self sacrifice of Himself in the Lord Jesus being our substitute of punishment for each one of us, and He demonstrates His Love to us in that. The Lord Jesus used death to conquer death, and by believing in Him He gives us the New Identity of Rightness Life. I hope this helps you see that there is no incertainty to His Truth and Love for you.
@@drrightlife It never happenned for me and I wasted 6 years trying. All I ever got from those hellfire and brimstone sermons was 27 years of paranoia. Some holy men can complain that this is shoot the messenger thinking and closed mindedness. I just say build a mind opening device, some close mindedness happens as a self defense. It is also not entirely fully voluntary. I also like saying how somehow Shintos pulled this sort of thing off. I worked in auto repair and often joked about how many were more committed to thou shalt not steal.
Great content but oh so tedious to listen to him endlessly jumping to explanations of meaning of words or references backing that which he is saying. Perhaps the continual elaboration of single points got to me!
You must have heard - If you have nothing positive to say, say nothing. There are probably quite a few things that ‘get to me’. Drop the ego and negativism.
Focus on the knowledge of Good and Evil you can see within yourself, then gain more than complete mastery of that. Programming in the negative sense will not be able to find a home with in you.
I saw, as his words explained the two hemispheres "Grabbing and getting" and "Understanding and utilising" significant with the merging of demographics in a way that has not merged for thousands of year's in such high numbers and all at once from all corners of the four winds into one direction! That has created in a very short space of time imbalance and chaos that has upended the flow of slow-moving progression and stability hard-earned back to fiefdoms to dislodge it's validity and the signature quite marked.

Thus sin identity and sinning functions are condemned to eternal punishment in deadness and darkness of pain. But God loves the human persons He created who need a different identity, so God becomes identity of perfect sinless humanity to take the deadness punishment on His own Perfect Self. Since each human is a person, he must decide for himself if he will receive the free Gift of eternal Right Life Identity and function offered to him, and that is to trust God, Who in Right Life Truth cannot lie in His promise, to save him from his destiny of eternal disconnection of deadness and punishment pain. This is your opportunity and option Right now, will you abandon you imitation in rebellion and simply trust believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? Now the answer to Iain's confusion of not being connected correctly to the Personal-Infinite Right Life Creator as the Ultimate determination reference point of reality is found in UA-cam videos by Gregg Bahnsen and in books by Francis Schaeffer (3 book collection Trilogy) and by Cornelius VanTil and by Rousas John Rushdoony (The One and The Many, By What Standard, and The Word of Flux) all of which I urge you to consult.
Well, maybe if God would show up to this so called God shaped hole that everybody is supposed to have, this could happen.
@@skylinefeverThank you for your reply. I am not sure if you are being cynical or positive in response. The Personal Infinite Creator has given each human person that He created the personal limited responsibility of deciding for, or against, subordination to Him and His Rightness Life Identity and Truth, so there is uniformity of causes and certainty of results in an ordered system that is open to change by persons. Thus we can each choose to trust and depend on, or be subordinate to Him because He really does love each one of us. The space time cosmos continuum is not a deterministic machine. He did indeed show up in self sacrifice of Himself in the Lord Jesus being our substitute of punishment for each one of us, and He demonstrates His Love to us in that. The Lord Jesus used death to conquer death, and by believing in Him He gives us the New Identity of Rightness Life. I hope this helps you see that there is no incertainty to His Truth and Love for you.
@@drrightlife It never happenned for me and I wasted 6 years trying. All I ever got from those hellfire and brimstone sermons was 27 years of paranoia. Some holy men can complain that this is shoot the messenger thinking and closed mindedness. I just say build a mind opening device, some close mindedness happens as a self defense. It is also not entirely fully voluntary.
I also like saying how somehow Shintos pulled this sort of thing off. I worked in auto repair and often joked about how many were more committed to thou shalt not steal.
Great content but oh so tedious to listen to him endlessly jumping to explanations of meaning of words or references backing that which he is saying. Perhaps the continual elaboration of single points got to me!
You must have heard - If you have nothing positive to say, say nothing. There are probably quite a few things that ‘get to me’. Drop the ego and negativism.
I am not sure I have learnt anything new, repeat of first book and some unexpected religion. plotinus god. God of the negative
Again another version of the dark vision. All the academic dog whistles appear on schedule. More programming.
Do you have a good recommendation? Would love to hear. Thanks in advance.
Focus on the knowledge of Good and Evil you can see within yourself, then gain more than complete mastery of that. Programming in the negative sense will not be able to find a home with in you.
I saw, as his words explained the two hemispheres "Grabbing and getting" and "Understanding and utilising" significant with the merging of demographics in a way that has not merged for thousands of year's in such high numbers and all at once from all corners of the four winds into one direction! That has created in a very short space of time imbalance and chaos that has upended the flow of slow-moving progression and stability hard-earned back to fiefdoms to dislodge it's validity and the signature quite marked.
Thank you ⚘⚘⚘
