Inside Our Three Brains

Abstract

We have three brains which work independently of one another and yet seek a creative balance together. Thus, there are three dimensions to human experience. Our right-brain is intuitive and holistic. It intuitively seeks out integrated patterns of meaning as a framework of understanding that we implicitly relate to. Our left brain is social. It uses language to formulate a commitment to behavior consistent with intuitive right brain frameworks that we may entertain. Our old brain is anchored to our evolutionary history. It too is Janus faced. It emotionally fuels our thoughts and behavior on the one hand and it assesses our performance on the other. Our thoughts and behavior intuitively seek an emotional balance between the two faces.
