“Recognizing what the left brain does has immense practical benefits. Simply becoming aware of the interpreter and the endless categories it creates through judgment frees you from being tied to the inevitability of these judgments. That is just say, when you become conscious of the interpreter, you are free to choose to no longer take its interpretation so seriously. In other words, when you realize that everyone’s brain is constantly interpreting, in ways that are subjective and often inaccurate or completely incorrect, you might find yourself able to grasp this as “just my opinion “or “the way I see it” rather than “this is the way it is.” You begin to see your judgment as simply a different line in the sand than others. When someone approaches you with a “this is the way it is“ attitude you can appreciate that this person is dominated by the left brain, that they are servant to its master. As a result, there is no need to take their actions or attitudes personally; it’s a biological function that they have not yet recognized. This small perspective shift is enough to change how we live with each other and ourselves.”

“Recollecting the treasured memories.... strengthens the shared meaning .... and builds deeper emotional connection...it is a relational way of reminiscing the olden memories...By opening them again with the other....it becomes a throwback to the forgotten past....but as you gather those times...it becomes a shared moment cuddling by the fire...for no longer are they memories frozen mutely in time...rather a melting past revived to savor a lifeless relationship....”

“Recomenzar no significa solo recomenzar, sino también abandonar. Muchas otras cosas. Romper con la dejadez, desmarcarse de las falsas prioridades, dejar de rechazar los límites, desobedecer a las sugestiones, no seguir las maldiciones, no dejarse atrapar por aquello que no es «lo mío», romper las imágenes falsas de Dios y de uno mismo, no envidiar las capacidades de los demás. Todos ellos, actos infecundos. La reconstrucción acaba en la fecundidad: hemos partido de nuestra vida y llegamos a la vida de los demás. Nuestra curación es la felicidad de otro. La única alegría es la que procuramos a los demás. La única riqueza auténtica es la que damos; las cosas que posees y que no regalas son las que te poseen a ti; en cambio las cosas que regalas son las que tú posees, porque decides tú, y eso se ve por el hecho de que puedes regalarlas.”
