Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

Reality, as understood by Iain McGilchrist, is a dynamic interplay between the tangible and the intangible, the measurable and the immeasurable, perceived through the synthesis of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It is not merely the sum of empirical data and logical constructs, but a rich, unfolding experience that encompasses the subjective, the qualitative, and the ineffable. Reality is both discovered and co-created, inviting a sense of participation and humility. It resists reductionist tendencies that seek to fragment it into isolated, sterile components, instead revealing itself through patterns, connections, and emergent properties. Ultimately, reality is a dance between the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen, inviting us to engage with the world in a more holistic and reverent manner.
