Is There a Difference Between the Left and the Right?

The right hemisphere is able to attend to the whole gistalt. Ultimately, it is dealing not in fragmentary entities that have to be put together but in gistalten that already exist and are nested. So there's always freedom between the levels of understanding. There's always space. It's rather like the gaps in the structurer where the light gets in. You know, if you tighten everything up, then you've got total darkness. What we're trying to do all the time is to know enough to be able to act, but to leave it open so that we can really understand where we are and what weare doing when we're acting.
