The world had always loved the saint as being the nearest possible approach to the perfection of God. Christ, through some divine instinct in him, seems to have always loved the sinner as being the nearest possible approach to the perfection of man... To turn an interesting thief into a tedious honest man was not his aim.
Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead.
Bowing low.
Bared head.
Whispers to cold flesh,
"Your old name is not your king.
I rename you 'Everything.'"
Fun video on split brain etc:
The biggest dose I've had with it was muddling through this giant book "The Master and His Emissary" - I write about it and grabbed a lot of quotes here : kirk.is/2021/07/28
My take away is, I think it's a mistake to say "I don't have free will" - but the mistake is more what the "I" is. Those unconscious burbling, pre-linguistic parts are still part of you, and just because your left brains will make up logical-sounding rationalizations of what the burbling parts come up with, it's all you!
Also it does make me wonder about therapy modes. Like I love therapy modes that talk about the many parts of the brain, like different subparts all with their own personalities and agendas that try to make their case for what the whole self does... but then I wonder how that works if each part of the brain is under the shadow of a one of two very different styles of hemisphere...
