"More interesting, I think, is that the right hemisphere’s broad attention which is open, and inclusive, sees more than the left hemisphere’s narrow attention, which collapses the world we experience into precision too swiftly, always bringing us back thereby to the things that are familiar, to what we already know or being attracted towards, something that can only be intuited and have to remain implicit. The right hemisphere is tolerant of ambiguity and paradox and understands the coming together of opposites, whereas the left hemisphere is intolerant of ambiguity, and thinks that opposites must cancel one another out. For these reasons, it is perhaps more open to the spiritual than the left hemisphere, which is always trying to reduce experience to something else it already ‘knows’." - Dr. Iain McGilchrist, Can the divided brain tell us anything about the ultimate nature of reality?
