It's doing the rounds. It changes nothing, rather it extends the concept. Everyone should take some time out from their hecticity to dig it, if not grok. . . .

With a little practice we can add to our body language observational skills by this method.)

Trope. Yin yang reflected in the brain. (Also, compare fovial / peripheral vision.) However we qualify the two halves of the cerebral cortex (cerebrum), conditioned by the forebrain and the corpus callosum and their underlying substrate, they tend to build a compelling mirror of the myths of yore, those testimonies of the human soul in transit. The alchemical texts (to example referencing the brain as nucleus of thought and thought's doings in time) can easily be superimposed on a schema of the main brain structures (and finer) - which clears a lot of the symbolic confusion up, both ways. Art and design is a wonderful target for this sort of lens, also, everything else! I would still recommend that all students of haiku (and life) spend some time with the following. It's a good basic intro to a powerful cultural analytical tool (and can be adjusted in the light of new intel and purposes). . . .There are many tools in The Fool's hankerchief on a stick - bilateral symmetry of the brain is an important one.
