Dr. McGilchrist teaches that the right hemisphere encounters the world as a living flow, while the left hemisphere creates an abstract map which we use to navigate and manipulate. If all goes well, the left hemisphere submits its abstract schema to be integrated with the right hemisphere's living view, but (as we know) this does not always happen; sometimes the Emissary usurps the Master. How are we to know when we are living in the real world as it "presences" to us, or alternatively when we are entranced by the "map" of our own creation? Where is a truth we can stand on? Please join this inaugural meeting of the "McGilchrist Irregulars" to discuss these and other questions! We are readers and enthusiasts who seek to further our understanding and create fruitful relationships among ourselves.
I could no longer tolerate another moment of complete illiteracy in Cymraeg (Welsh language) so I had to start an online course in it, immediately.
I'm doing Croeso: Beginners' Welsh through Open University but interested in any suggestions from other #Cymraeg learners. Online only since I'm in Alaska. I have no preference re. dialect at this stage in my journey.

The Western world is in serious danger of being consumed by consumerism, in both material and #moral senses of the word. https://pcritchley2.wixsite.com/beingandplace/post/habituation-vs-homelessness
Habituation vs Homelessness This essay was provoked by contemplating Martin Buber’s analysis of the way that 'epochs of habitation' gradually weaken and give way 'epochs of homelessness': In the former, man lives in the world as in a house, as in a home. In the latter, man lives in the world as in an open field and at times he does not even have four pegs with which to set up a tent.1 The modern age is one of the most severe epochs of homelessness in history, arguably the most severe.
