Consider the following model:
Heaven/Romantic Temper
Air/Classical Temper
Fire/Experimental Salt/Impressionist Wood/Baroque Water/Primitive-Byzantine
Earth/Realistic Temper
Dust-Life/Expressionistic Temper
with Heaven as the mutant opposite of Earth as product
with Salt as the analytic opposite of Water as synthesis and recombination
with Wood ( Metal or Glass) as the closed opposite of Fire as the open and the free
with Dust (Life) as the vulgar expression opposite of Air as the refined ideal.
Suppose an inner cycle of analysis of input, set point, feedback, product
Suppose an outer cycle of recombination, mutation, emergence, and selection
Mutation (Heaven)
Set Point (Air)
Selection (Fire) Analysis (Salt) Feedback (Woodl) Recombination (Water)
Product (Earth)
Emergence (Dust)
Suppose as similar cycle in production:
Productive-feudal, agrarian
Refining-aristocratic, nobility
Exploitative (warfare) Hoarding (republic) Receptive (absolute) Glutinous (imperial)
Utilizing-democratic, utilitarian
Marketing-consuming, populist
PLEASE EXCUSE THE BAD GRAPHICS. THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT SETTING UP A
SITE! However the bad graphics are a kind of statement about my notion of the mind. It
is something evolution has thrown up out of opportunities. Evolution takes a hand and
converts it to a wing. It takes brain structures all about smell, and makes them think.
We are working with the notion of a three dimensional model involving six polarities:
SELF (concentration, peculiar) to ASSEMBLY (distribution, normal)
FIXED (law, information) to FLUX (energy, power)
COVERING (finite, part) to CORE (whole, infinite, bottomless)
these form the faces of a cube, vertexes of an octahedron, or a buried pyramid-cube with
the self vertex pointing upward, covering vertex toward the Nile, core vertex away from the
Nile, fixed vertex up Nile, power vertex down Nile, assembly vertex as the face of a buried
cube. These symbolize the parts of the brain. The fixed vertex is the upper brain with
association areas and basal ganglia. The flux vertex is the lower brain with autonomic
and wakeful and sleep centers. The covering vertex (particular) is the fact oriented left
hemisphere and the core vertex is the connection oriented right cerebral hemisphere.
The assembly vertex is the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe association areas
of the posterior portion of the cerebrum. The self vertex is the executive function modules
of the frontal and cingulate lobes of the anterior cerebral cortex.
With this model, the perform face of the cube becomes the central sulcus of the left
hemisphere dividing motor and sensory functions. The result face is the same central
sulcus, but it now divides the speech forming Broca's area from speech recognizing
centers in the left temporal lobe, along with the related association areas in occipital and
parietal lobes that allow language, mathematics, and fact recognition processes to take
place. These are the Dust and Earth faces of our cube. The analysis function and the
free function, Fire and Salt, represent the supporting planning activities in the frontal
lobes (Salt, Analysis) and associated cingulate lobe processes (Fire, Free) supporting
motor action. Right hemisphere myth and symbol in support of these are the frontal lobe
(Ideal, Air) and the associated right central sulcus and basal ganglia, supporting
automatic motor functions and pattern recognition (Glass or Wood, Order) and the
combining of these in association areas supporting occipital and temporal lobes (Mixed,
Water) and their connections to deeper structures in the lower brain and striatum
(Source, Heaven).
FLUX (lower brain)
Source (right hemisphere connections)
variation ground
SELF (frontal lobes) transcend CORE (right hemisphere)
conserve Ideal (right frontal lobes) purpose
FLUX Free individual Analysis FIXED Order collective Mixed FLUX

form Result sameness
(left Broca's, temporal, language)
COVERING (left hemisphere) measure ASSEMBLY (association)

develop
Perform
FLUX (lower brain)
The cube/octahedron has twelve edges:
form to ground, action to purpose, individual to collective, transcend to measure, variation
to sameness, conserve to develop. This extends itself into four and five dimensions in a
cycle of 32 levels of organization, thus:

Level 30 Galactos, galaxies, elves, fantastic worlds Fantasy
Level 31 Megalos, supergalaxies, titans, mythic worlds Mythology
Level 32 Ouranos, galaxies, gods, theological systems Theology
These levels can move from FLUX through measurement through FIXED through
transcendent. They can move from COVERING to CORE. They can move from collective
through COVERING and CORE and back to collective. In the process, new forms of four
and five dimensional interactions can emerge. One sequence can move from the
individual toward the collective, building up larger and larger complexes, thus, particle to
atom to molecule to cell to organism to population to biotic community to biosphere to
planet to solar system to galaxy and beyond. These large collections approach the
mythic. They are beyond comprehension at our current level of organization. One way of
explaining what we observe is the possibility that this sixteen level sequence is part of a
series of cycles that structures universes and generates new cosmic sequence in turn.
But, we are looking at this as a mind myth, as a set of structures that the brain and the
mind generate to explain themselves and their environment. We are as much trapped by
these myths as generators of them. It is not really possible for us to step beyond the
mythology generated by our brain.

No symbol system like this can be worked out perfectly, but it is easy to see that the ancients used symbols like the astrological
signs and houses and the planets to create images of what we would call personality disorders, brain functions, and physiological
polarities. An ancient polarity is the parasysmpathetic to sympathetic neural functions of the autonomic nervous systems, between
rest and excitement. This polarity is symbolized in the love vs. war polarity of Venus (parasympathetic) to Mars (sympathetic) and in
the stop (Saturn) vs. go (Jupiter), or the sleep and off (Moon) vs. awake and on (Sun).
AIR (Mercury-Information) (Venus--Slow) (Uranus--Creativity)
Cerebral Cortex Association
FIRE (Mars--Fast) (Sun--On) (Jupiter--Go) WATER (Moon--Off) (Neptune--Dream) (Pluto-Change)
Sympathetic/Amygdala/Basal Ganglia/Motor Nerves Parasympathetic autonomic/Hypothalamus/Pituitary Gland
EARTH (Venus--Slow) (Saturn--Stop) (Mercury-Information)
Sense Data, Peripheral Central Nervous System
It is obvious that this is myth, art, not science. These images are too complex to work as scientific hypotheses. To call this science,
to try to make it science would be absurd. But, to throw it out as useless is also ridiculous. Once all the scientific theory and
confirmed hypothesis is accumulated, what you have is a pile of parts, of atoms, of pieces. You are still left with the problem of
assimilating the parts into a working theory, an art of life. To study how the ancients did this with the knowledge they had is not
worthless. Sometimes their imagery is more powerful, more useful than our mountains of undigested and often indigestable fact.

The way we use facts and the kind of mythological structure we construct is, at least partly, a function of the stage of development
our society is currently in. Consider the following model of development:
Productive Stage, Feudal, Agrarian
Cultural Mutations, Land and soil based energy systems
Gothic stage of thought, Romantic temper
(Example, 11th and 12th Century France)
Refinement Stage, Aristocratic
Cultural Set Points, Art and Artisan based systems
Renaissance stage, Classical temper
(Example 15th and 16th Century Florence)
Hoarding and Assimilating and
Exploitative Stage, Tribal, Warlike Segregative Stage Receptive Stage Glutinous Stage
Natural Selection, Cultural Extinction Debate, Analysis Order, Absolutism Synthesis, Eclectic
Extraction of Resources Impressionism, Abstraction Baroque, Rationalism Rococo, Symbolism
Experimental Stages of Thought Late 19th Century Louis XIV France 18th,19th Century Empire
(Example, Da Da, following World War I) French Nationalism Post-Impressionism
Utilitarian Stage, Democratic
Culture Products, Science, Positivism
Realistic Stage of Thought
19th Century Realism, Naturalism
Marketing Stage, Vulgar, Popular
Cultural Expression, Emergence
Expressionism
20th Century American consumerism
(These stages are developed from Marvin Harris," Cannibals and Kings," and Erich Fromm," Man for Himself" as described on the
mythicmind page, click above)

The above is not a set of absolutes. Under feudal influences, China or Europe can be very religious, under industrial influences,
India and Tibet can be very oriented toward science or engineering. However, the geography of the cerebrum may influence how we
see everything and the above paradigm might help us see unseen orders in the very architecture of our nervous system which could
structure our views, even of the global aspects of the world.
Imagine a cube with six sided. Side one is centered on the self pole and the cingulate area of the frontal lobes
Its opposite is side three, centered on the social pole and the association areas of the posterior lobes: parietal, occipital, temporal
Side two is centered on the whole pole and the right hemisphere of the cerebrum
Its opposite is side four, centered on the part pole and the left hemisphere of the cerebrum
Side A is centered on the flux pole and the hypothalamus and lower centers of the brain that maintain states of rest and excitation
Side B is centered on the fixed pole and the basal ganglia and higher level associations of the cerebrum, striatum and cortex.

My intention is to throw out some scratch sheets of possible relationships. I am trying to show how brain process and cultural
symbol can emerge from the same substrate. There are no right solutions to this sort of thing. Symbols are necessarily hazy
things. We are working with polarities here that represent the corners of a cube and the sides of an octahedron, or the reverse. In
this system, SELF is the opposite of SOCIAL/ASSEMBLY and COVERING of CORE, and FLUX of FIXED or LAW.
Source (Heaven) is the opposite of Result (Earth) and Analysis/Separation (Salt) of Mixed/Synthesis (Water), and Ideal (Air) of

The brain is a strange place. It has many levels.
The ancient Greek gods often functioned as
symbols for these brain functions. Zeus was an
executive frontal lobe function. Hera was the
inhibition of Zeus based impulse. Hermes was
Broca's area expressiveness and Ares motor
functions influenced by the amygdala.
There are no final answers here. This is not
doctrine. This is not final truth. These are
experiments with ideas and forms. Simple
speculation. Most of this stuff can never be proven
right or wrong. The most important things often
are not subjects of any possible experiment or
logical proof. We are left in the situation where we
often cannot ever know what we want to know
most. The way of knowledge is always painful
because it necessarily separates us from what we
desire most and teases us with knowledge that is
local and trite when we would so love to soar with
the gods and explore the distant skies. These
speculations are speculations only. They are not
final answers or final truths. A. R. Andrews,

This website is created and
maintained by Allan Ralph
Andrews in Bakersfield CA. It
attempts to find a way for the
romantic and myth loving right
hemisphere of the cerebrum to
live happily with its meaning
generating function in the
increasingly fact oriented and
reality seeking world we have
created for the language and
fact loving left hemisphere of
the cerebrum. The right
hemisphere has lost its myth
and symbol dominated home
and tends toward depression.
The right hemisphere has been
thrown out of its symbol
dominated dreamtime home,
its internal garden of Eden. It is
forced to live in the thorns and
thistles that the facts and
science of the left hemisphere
love. This website seeks to
find a way that ancient ideas
like astrology and the I Ching,
Platonism, Daoism, can be
reformulated to make peace
with the math and physics and
science of a left brain world. A.
