Two brains, two minds hypothesisTwo brains, two minds hypothesis

Two brains: the two hemispheres; one is for the present moment (the right side), the other for the past and future (the left side)

The left hemisphere represents the outer I, while the right side is the spiritual I, so the lift side connects us to the under, the right to the upper part

These are two personalities within us and are two different perceptions, two different self-consciousnesses,

The right side operates with pictures, the left with words

So one is the brain of wholeness the other is of the parts (all these differences disappear in higher states of consciousnesses

The right side connects us to the cosmic energies, this is Nirvana experience, the left to the organising intelligence

Two brains, two minds hypothesisTwo brains, two minds hypothesis The left side represent rationality, while the

right spirituality; the two hemispheres are experiencing and creating two different reality,

The right side is love, the left is anxiety The left side’s mind expresses normal

consciousness, the other (the right side’s mind) expresses higher states of consciousnesses

Metatheory connects and unifies these two realities and consciousnesses

The two brains: are Unified, so in Unity consciousness they are ONE, the two minds are also ONE

Perfection means: to be in both sides at once, to be in Unity

Two Selves (and hearts) and the SelfTwo Selves (and hearts) and the Self (Ramana Maharsi and others)(Ramana Maharsi and others)

The miracle in man that he has two I. For this is a good analogy that have two hearts as well, one is the physical, which carries the spiritual existence the other hearts on the right side, which is not material and physical

We can call it the seed of light, or white hole in quantum physics, or the virtual home of the Holy Spirit, which encompasses all of our atoms and subatomic structures

This second heart is the higher Self, which is transcendental. It is consciousness itself. The God within – as Ramana said

Saint John of the cross expressed this question as follows: „Why are you listening the thing, and why are you waiting, since you could immediately love God in your heart”

Two Selves (and hearts) and the Two Selves (and hearts) and the Self (2)Self (2)

Ramana Maharsi says: „This second heart is not equivalent with the physical one, it is the spiritual centre beside the physical heart.”

„Nobody denies that the physical is on the left side, but this heart is found on the right side o the body.”

Ramana Maharsi could experience this: : „Therefore the heart is the centre of the

body.” „In truth, the body and everything is contained in this centre.”

From this point of view the second heart is the higher Self, which is Atman and Brahman at the same time. The higher Self contains within itself all the higher states of consciousnesses.

The posing of the collective The posing of the collective consciousnessconsciousness

The term ‘collective consciousness’ was first introduced The term ‘collective consciousness’ was first introduced by Emile Durkheim at the end of the 19th centuryby Emile Durkheim at the end of the 19th century

„„There is two type of consciousness are living in us: the There is two type of consciousness are living in us: the states of the first of these is individual in each of us, states of the first of these is individual in each of us, and typical only for us, while the other’s states are and typical only for us, while the other’s states are common for the whole societycommon for the whole society

For a long time he regarded that the collective For a long time he regarded that the collective consciousness is completely different, than the consciousness is completely different, than the individual consciousnesses, though it is realized or individual consciousnesses, though it is realized or manifested only in individuals.manifested only in individuals.

‘‘Later on he got to the point, that he assumed the Later on he got to the point, that he assumed the society as a psychical entity, and thought that the society as a psychical entity, and thought that the religion is nothing else than the thinking method of religion is nothing else than the thinking method of this collective entity.this collective entity.
