Overview: Fascinating introduction to the left/right brain dichotomy. First discovered by Sperry and Gazzaniga in the 50's when they severed epileptic patients' corpus callosum to prevent siezures. Subsequent testing showed that these patients now literally had 'two minds' with distinct qualities: left for speech, analysis and reasoning, right for pattern recognition, music and intuition. Wilson incorporates this information into his earlier notion of the 'outsider', asserting that these alienated individuals' dissatisfaction with ordinary left-brain awareness was due to their, all too brief, flashes of the 'other mode of consciousness', or inspiration. We go on a tour of familiar topics for Wilson: dowsing, poltergeists and other 'supernatural' powers which are all deemed to be the work of right-brain consciousness. Then, after all his efforts to promote this 'other mode' as being The Answer To Human Suffering, he seems to back-track and asserts that "the 'controller' of consciousness is ... the left-brain ego".
