Re Talk: 298

     [Man is divided into first, second and third order sentient systems. First and second order systems are comparable to brains. Third order is unique to man and is comprised by "imagination". A "blue system" (not a brain) is a network joining the two brains. The Yellow Brain (YB) invented speech--but the Red Brain (RB) uses it also; there are two kinds of speech/education: information and feeling. The first order (RB) uses words to convey instinctive info; thus it uses words in a secondary way. If man was a YB creature exclusively he could not be insulted. Example of the first order factory operating on kerosene energy whereas second order operates on electrical energy. The RB eats for survival; the YB eats for pleasure; for new stimuli, refinement of sensory info. RB interpretation of incoming sensory info seeks predictability and calm; it conserves. The YB interpretation attempts to expand beyond itself; seeks excitement. The second order has apparently usurped the first order--except where it will not give up: its vested interests (any other areas are to it irrelevant). The RB has a vested interest in some areas but has not full control anymore, while the YB hasn't full control either: such status is the lot of the "emotional" person. The asymmetry of human consciousness is the breath of Life. ("Hey, don't push me...I might get on balance!"--symmetrical). Consider here the connection to the "E/C gate": conflict between YB and RB. ] tk notes 298
