Hush and listen

The thing is not to take in the left brained person’s notions and try to turn it into a whole.    They don’t have access to the whole, only to some helpful ideas.  The right brain, by contrast can and does have access to the whole, but can often be wrong about it, as in the case where his or her sense of the whole is tainted by a certain mood or emotional frame.  But the really strong left brain type has no access to the whole at all, and would not be able to use the key of tone to gain the access that would be necessary to understand the whole as it represented by a particular author.  This complete lack of training, which I have often observed, may have much to do with why it seems as if certain groups of people are just profoundly stupid.  They have no training for tone, especially not for any tone that may appear from outside of their own culture.  They don’t know how to be quiet long enough to just listen for it.
