Left Brain or Right Brain?



An interesting item that was brought up by one of the teachers of the class I'm in to demonstrate our perspectives of reality. Is the woman spinning clockwise or counter clockwise? Which way she spins is determined by which side of the brain you use. Counter clockwise is left brained and clock wise is right brained.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

  2. you're girl seems to dance to me almost every night...one moment i see her counter-clockwise, the next, clockwise...is this a trick or an illusion of some mainifestation of reality or am i just chosing, somehow controlling, as if any of us have any control over anything that occurs, but in a sence we do preceive our own reality based on our own beliefs. if that is so, how can i see her move one way and then another? why does it seem like she dances, taunting me to accept or deconstruct perhaps a greater hope than my mere existence? or is my existence the result of her dancing?

  3. Once again...tonight she spins clockwise, yesterday counter-clockwise. Are there any answers to this perplexity of mystery that seems to continuously astound me? or am i just a simple girl with too many questions...to many answers...too many thoughts? i like u understand the complexity of the human minds ability to question everything at face value. Especially our own selves! ramble on....and on
