Third Mind Manifesto

Modern man's understanding and consciousness has split into seemingly mutually exclusive modalities of the religious/spiritual and scientific/rational.  This split has caused massive suffering and misunderstanding on both individual and societal scales in the modern (post Newton) era.  Yet it is understandable, even forgiveable, given the physiology of the human brain, with its bicameral design effectively giving each of us two quasi-autonomous brains or hemispheres which process information in radically different ways.

The way to vanquish the false dualism that plagues humanity is synthesis of the opposing thought paradigms.  By the ancient Law of the Triangle, a union of two opposites is not only possible, it is generally inevitable.

The way forward is the third way, i.e. development of a "third mind".  A sum of today's limited left and right minds that's greater than the sum of its parts.  People can be mentally ambidextrious.  Albert Einstein exemplified this, as have other leaders and geniuses, so we know it can be done.  The challenge now is to make the third mind available to everybody.

Barriers built and institutionalized over centuries must be overcome, old grudges and stereotypes set aside by partisans on both sides of the divide, but it can and must be done.
