Past thinking has often considered the senses and the emotions to be 'primitive', and assumed Man's recent development was restricted to intellect alone. Yet the brain interconnections are vast, and exist between all areas. Evolutionary changes have affected our senses and emotions also. The enjoyment of music, the love of a partner, the appreciation of art, all are as far ahead of animal abilities, in evolutionary terms, as is our ability to do maths or science. Our sensitivity to the planet and other creatures, our willingness to extend our senses to the very large and very small, our feelings of inherent right and wrong, our talents for creation, our ability to smile and laugh, our love of the past and dreams for the future, our poetry, our intuition - all these qualities and more are evidence of our higher development, emotionally and sensually.
Complex systems are holistic ones, the value is in the whole.
A view considering only one aspect is a very impoverished view. To appreciate and to develop the whole we need to integrate and consider all aspects of the system.
