McGilchrist's brain hemisphere model 
+
buddhist concept of impermanence 
thread!
(CC @_awbery_, @Meaningness)
The left hemisphere (which if you read McGilchrist you'll see is responsible for most of what is often called "ego" etc) orients to the world as being largely static, or dynamic in some manipulable way. Also fixed, separate, categorizable things.
The right hemisphere (which is responsible for much of spiritual experience, or even experience of *meaning*) orients to the world as being dynamic, process-based, etc. Also a basic non-dual (though not monist) stance. See also many Heraclitus quotes.
Both of these 
perspectives have truth (ie map-territory correspondence)
Yet: "everything changes but we can usefully pretend some things don't" seems more true than the reverse.
(Similarly "everything is interconnected but we can usefully pretend things are separate")
These useful oversimplifications are, in large part, what the left hemisphere is *for*; they are necessary for being able to usefully count things, plan, talk about anything (before it's gone) etc. However, fixated as true, they are illusion & confusion.
So it seems like the shift from the left hemisphere's perspective being primary to the right hemisphere's perspective being primary is core to the shift that recognizes impermanence and the other buddhist structures.

eg "Tanha", usually translated as "desire" or "craving", is described below left (by Romeo Stevens) as "zooming in" or "grasping". Lo: these are left-hemisphere moves! https://twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1136688724828459008 …pic.twitter.com/Snutd3kzqK

I am hardly an expert on either subject, but I seriously think that for people orienting towards awakening, McGilchrist is one of the most valuable resources for View

You would find Panksepps work on emotional command systems fertile for cross referencing with Buddhist territory. <3
Particularly the SEEKING system
Been looking into Loch Kelly's stuff recently; he talks about an "effortless mindfulness" which, unlike "standard" deliberate mindfulness isn't something that you actively do. Interesting to think of these descriptions in terms of something like "logical hemisphere being paused".pic.twitter.com/mnEV5ZYitV
It can't literally go on pause, of course, but maybe something like its activity getting downregulated and that affecting what information gets into the global workspace, or something.
