You Are Not A Frog · The Analytical Brain Trap: Why Smart People Can’t Switch Off · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

So it farms all of that stuff out to the left brain.

And the left brain does all of its dividing.

I mean, the thing about the Jewel Balty Taylor story, when she says she was slumped against the wall and she couldn't tell where her arm ended and where the wall began, that's because the left brain creates a very helpful illusion of separation for us.

You know, it's incredibly helpful, as I discovered on that fateful day when it's like, oh, I'm going to stop slagging off the left brain.

As much as I do, because, boy, can you not do without it?

You know, you really you really can't do without it.

But yeah, as you as you said, it's it's it's the fact that we've we've completely lost sight of our of our of our right brain consciousness when it's it's it's it's a lot closer to who we are than what the left brain tells us, which is all essentially made up.

Yeah.

It thinks it's the whole.

The left brain thinks it's the whole.

Mm-hmm.

Because it can't ever know anything.

I don't know if you've read any of Eckhart Tolle's stuff, The Power of Now, and he says the mind, you know, because there's just a whole load of metaphors and synonyms we've got here, but you can call the left brain the mind or our personal thinking.

Is it the ego?

it almost by definition is the absence of ego.

It's the absence of personal thinking.

It's the absence of analysis.

It is just experiencing life as it is here and now without any of the labelling going on that the left brain does of right and wrong and good and bad and all that malarkey.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's why people meditate.
