The spiritual foundation of the Psyche
(The Greek word for "soul" personified
by the female God named Psyche)
is my idea of Right Brain,
the creative hemisphere in contrast to
the analytical/logical Left Brain hemisphere.

It is our place to balance the different functions
of the two hemispheres
by walking two paths at the same time,
living with a foot in each world simultaneously,
and making peace between them
in harmonizing their strengths
and strengthening their underdeveloped functions
in becoming a whole person,
an enlightened person,
a fully awake and alive person
in the process.

To do this,
we have to take up the work
of being aware of being aware
and reflecting to the point of new realizations
on our tendency to lean toward
creative imagination and playful experimentation,
or cut and dried, right or wrong,
only one way to do it thinking/living--
and making room in our life 
for our opposite and less preferred way of being,
in an "It takes two to Tango" kind of way.
