“We are the life-force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. Right here, right now, we can step into the consciousness of our right hemisphere, where we are the life-force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up our form, at one with all that is. Or, we can choose to step into the consciousness of our left hemisphere, where we become a single individual, a solid. Separate from the flow, separate from each other.
Which would you choose? Which do you choose? And when? I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner-peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world, and the more peaceful our planet will be.”
