Intuitive mind / rational mind - Servant and master

Here I am sharing an interesting point / fundamental distinction /powerful directions shared by our friend Joo Hock - as part of his Bucky's group activities: see below.

 I may not need to add anything except - as I am thinking about it - that the mind is a powerful tool - a tool "out of this world", a gift to humanity in a way, something that sets us apart - not so much because we are so great but because it gives us a special power: power of choice, power of discernment, power of intelligible perception, power of intelligence somehow. 

I like to think that intelligence comes in various form. Harvard Howard Gardner talks of multiple intelligence. There is one intelligence that has always been very dear to me and it is what I call Heart intelligence - it is a connective, integrative, inclusive form of intelligence and it is governed by the heart. Whereas rational, analytical, brain-based intelligence is more divisive, specialization-focused. I guess I will continue to explore this field.... Kindly contribute if you feel like....Cheerios to All :-)
from Joo Hock email (11/11/2011): Dear Friends and Fellow Buckians,
Last Sat. we listen to a talk by Iain McGilchrist on the Divided Brain. Interesting. Because I use to think that Right Brainers are Creative people, Artistic types, and that the Left Brainers are Logical, the Science types.
McGilchrist pointed that while the Left brain focusses, the Right Brain keeps a lookout at the Big Picture. So though one may be Right dominant or Left dominant, actually the two hemispheres of Brain they work together.
At the end of his Talk, McGilchrist pointed out that Einstein shared that the Intuitve Mind is a Sacred Gift, the Rational Mind is a Faithful Servant. Hmmm... Interesting Perspectives.
