Edward T. Hall Quotes
When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brainthat is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious--to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.

We trust other people to tell us the story of our lives before we can remember it, and usually that's our parents and usually it works, but obviously not always.
