Iain McGilchrist, renowned psychiatrist, author and thinker joins Tom to share some of the key ideas he writes about in his latest 2 volume book, The Matter of Things. Part of what he proposes is that you keep an open mind and be aware that the ideas and images people are so strongly influenced by are in fact myths and stories. The version of what you see in your reality matters to what you decide to see and live your life by.\n\u201cIt doesn't matter what you look at, it matters what you see.\u201d -Henry David Thoreau\nSo much of what the world is and who we are is not understood. To think you fully grasp the complexities of consciousness, matter, space and time would be wildly ignorant. Iain perfectly quotes psychologist William James, \u201cignorance is a sea and knowledge is a drop in that ocean\u201d In this conversation Iain explores ideas of how little we truly know about the cognitive function of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. He highlights the beauty and complexity of order in the universe even where we are unable to fully grasp and understand the order. He\u2019s calling people to be open to the seemingly random chaos and meaninglessness of life to find a better way to live and a better vision of the world we live in. The path of doing so challenges you to embrace the many paradoxical reactions occurring all around us in nature.\nCheck out Iain McGilchrist\u2019s book, The Matter With Things: https://channelmcgilchrist.com/the-matter-with-things/\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | Introduction Dr. Iain McGilchrist\n2:10 | Split Brain Connection\n8:50 | Unity of Opposite Hemispheres\n22:08 | The Brain Shapes Reality\n27:49 | Objective Reality & Co-Creation\n35:10 | 3 Pathways to One Vision\n44:16 | The Sacred and Divine \n55:44 | Why Belief Matters\n1:05:53 | Left Sided Paradox\n1:10:57 | Neutralizing Left Sided Thinking\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\nBetter Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory\nConversionFanatics: Go to ConversionFanatics.com for a FREE proposal.\nAudible: Start listening with a 30-day free trial, one free audiobook and access to the Plus Catalog.
