One may begin to imagine what it would be like if the moon really was made of cheese. Such play ideas go from right to left.

The love generation was in this state of mind when it was driven toward social change. Many of the problems of today resulted from the playworld being used to help define reality. If anyone ever listens to conservative AM radio, one will notice how conservative callers seem more rational (although biggoted) while the liberal callers appear more emotional and often irrational. The liberals are emotion leading reason or right leading left. The conservative are more left leading right. Both are valid with each having advantages and disadvantages.
With regards to your first point - letting go produces unconsciousness and makes the world seem like some kind of ghastly joke as we float away from it into what I call a dispersed mental state, where thought gives way to feelings. It is as I've described elsewhere, stepping back and observing the world rather than interacting with it. Reality is control and 'moving with' something to create that illusion of there being all that there is (right wing reality): Proximity and distance as opposing poles of existence.

I always thought that left brain was feminine and male, right side but I know it can get confusing because of the cross-over effect (right brain controlling left and vice-versa).

Only by understanding and integrating both halves of this puzzle can peace reign in the individual and within society. When this doesn't happen we have conflict and mental problems that spill out into the physical world, in the form of disintegration of the personality through what is termed insanity, crime and war (No longer working together for mutual benefit but fighting their way apart in denial of that relationship either within the body (mind) or outside it (society).

The truth is that life is like breathing though and we cannot always breathe in anymore than we can continually breathe out. Life and by analogy states of being alternate and have to, to create history (movement) or we stagnate in certainty/ dissolve in uncertainty: Male kingdoms mellow into female empires - Rome, China, South America etc - Star Trek and The Archons episode as revolution/evolution (Breaking free of limits/ identity and moving into uncertainty again: The right brain enslaves - the left brain frees, which is why women are more like children and men are always old in their thought patterns (towing the party line).
