Someone asked
if I was more left-brained or right brained.
Not that I’m no-brained,
but I couldn’t really say.
Are we mostly left-brained,
too logical, too methodical, too rigid?
Should we be more right-brained,
more intuitive, more ‘random’, more creative?
I couldn’t really say,
because I don’t know your specific inclination.
But I do propose
that we all take the Middle Path.
Let us be more middle-brained,
whatever our inclinations are,
to be more balanced,
to be more complete.
To be really holistic
is to be more whole-brained,
to make the best of our left and right brains,
to use one or the other more when needed.
To be creative is not just to always use the right brain,
as being logical with the left brain helps to be more thoughtfully creative too.
True creativity is not restricted…
not even by the right brain!
Even the Buddha is ‘middle-brained’ (though he is beyond mind and matter),
as we can tell by studying
his great logical (left-brained) response to the problem of suffering,
his great creative (right-brained) skilful means to share his solutions.
Thinking about the above this way,
feeling about the above this way,
does this make me more left or right-brained?
More middle-brained… I hope!
Right or left-brained, it’s still physical, we should go beyond matter and straight to the mind first. Its potential is far beyond what being right or left-brain can do. Then we go beyond the mind. :cheerful:
Interesting sharing (: I guess what’s important is not whether we are more towards right-brain or left-brain, but how fully we can utilise our strengths at the moment!
… or maximise both strengths in the right combo at the right time!

According to a test I took I’m middlebrained. Interesting.
