”…we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. Right here right now, I can step into the consciousness of my right hemisphere where we are — I am — the life force power of the universe, and the life force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up my form. At one with all that is. Or I can choose to step into the consciousness of my left hemisphere, where I become a single individual, a solid, separate from the flow, separate from you….”
Even on the most basic scientific level, we get to choose who and how we want to be every single day—what side of the mind will take over. Refreshing to know that really nothing is predetermined by synapses. Refereshing, and you know, kinda heavy.
