However, we lean more toward one side or the other in our mental processes. Those who participate in our seminar on Hearing God's Voice understand how our right and left brain functions help us grasp God's revelation. They also realize how the different functions of thinking and intuiting should be understood. Our Western clutter is so devoted to left brain education that the left sides of our brains grow slightly heavier than the right side during the school years. For this idolatry, we pay a heavy price.
Statistics show that almost all children rank high in creativity before entering school.
There appears, therefore, to be some correspondence between the idolization of logic and the death of creativity. Nearly one third of the Bible is a record of dreams and visions recorded by men and women who claimed God spoke to them. God's Revelation comes to us through left brain and right brain functions. Luke says he carefully analyzed accounts of eyewitnesses and wrote them out in consecutive order - obviously left brain activity. This revelation method involved no left brain functions, except the actual writing out of the vision.
