But the right hemisphere, it's a right here, right now machine.
So the emotions of the present moment experience, what does it feel like to be alive as your audience is listening?
What are they doing?
What does it feel like to be sitting or to be walking, to be moving your body?
What does it feel like as you dive into water?
What does that feel like, the experience?
What is the temperature of the air or the water against your body?
Is it pressure against you?
What's happening, you know, glasses on your nose?
What do those feel like?
If you focus on that feeling, you can feel that.
Otherwise, you go pretty unconscious.
So the right emotion is experiential.
What does it feel like to be here?
And then the right thinking is right here, right now.
If I'm just in the right here, right now, all I'm aware of is what is in front of me.
Whatever behind me doesn't exist.
Whatever happened before this moment in time
doesn't exist, including what is my name?
I don't know right here, right now, unless I got a big name tag on the wall in front of me, but I don't have that kind of language.
