Flatland

by Edwin A. Abbott

It's wise to trust our intuitive right brain feeling as well as our left brain analytical thinking in making decisions.

Left brain analytical thinking can make our actions APPEAR logical, but we're only fooling ourselves.  We didn't get there from there. Like writing an essay.  We can "write" it in our head (right brain) in a second, but forming the words (left brain) can take days.

Just using our left brain alone can FLATTEN depth and meaning because we're confining ourselves to the words we know.  This is like the inhabitants of Flatland (a two-dimensional world) seeing only circles when spheres pass through the land. We need BOTH left and right, feeling and thinking for balance and wholeness.
