Can anyone else "switch" between brain hemispheres

Lots of good sense here.

Left and right, yes, and connected, but at a distance. Then both sides have a fore brain, where our awareness can play, and a back brain that is emotional in nature. Somewhere way back, a primal brain, brain stem, that sees flee or fight, and would eat what it kills.

I have a machine sector, I spend a lot of time there, and complex machines shut down the unused sections, and I become the machine. It does not speak, and if interupted, I just stare till some other sector kicks in.

That comes in degrees, the dog or kid get one response, adults another. Coming up I can become angry, emotional, I was doing something I liked, and someone wanted to spoil that, or very analitical, another machine problem to deal with, the parts have arrived, something within that world.

I have two sets of pictures, on the right, I guess, blueprints, and when I draw it comes out blueprint. Line work. The other side has color, form, nature, and is more photographic.

I would call them the image brain, left, and the filing cabinet, right I can look at a part and run a hundred checks from the data base, Are the gasket surfaces clean and flat, are all the parts there, just where in the order of operation does it go, I have put things together, then had to take them apart, because this goes in before that, so there is seeing it all in series, and checking that each part is correct, in good condition, then installed properly. This is a localized area.

Next to that are several areas. In one I see machines as they should be, what it is, how it functions, desired output. What Is. Next to that is how, every sub system, and how they work. Some can be given, what it could not be is subtracted. It can leave a half dozen potential causes. Many of them I can think through, if it does this, then that must work. This is the troubleshoot phase.

For example, a car may not run due to lack of gas, spark, or compression. Checking gas at he carb, pulling a plug wire, checking spark, and if both good, tearing down the whole front to get to the timing chain. More than half of all auto repairs were not needed. Parts were replaced until they hit the right one. Then you get a new carb, distribuator, and timing chain. Fuel pumps get replaced on cars that are out of gas.

There are much bigger machines, and problem solving is not a common skill. The what is it, how does it function, where could the problem be, how to test each potential problem is fairly universal. It is not a function of machines, mechanics, but of the brain. It also works on social systems, growing plants, raising kids.

I am not as at home on the other side, I paint, but have no idea what. Two styles, a scale blueprint, with an exact model on one side, totally figured before I start, or a blank piece of paper on the other, and starting with one line, it grows, and becomes. I am near the end before I see it. It goes beyond what I could plan and layout, then construct layer at a time.

I do talk to myself, we differ, but mostly get along, when times get rough, I do talk to myself in the mirror. There is a third voice, when it gets really bad, it takes over. We get shut out, and overself runs brain stem. It is fast, animal, and dangerous.

I find the fore brain to be light weight, it processes simple thought, perhaps it is Aspie. A weak fore brain, today's thought, idel chit chat, meanless communicaiation, where NTs live. It's highest skill seems to be watching the Simpsons, but the laughs come from left and right.

Sometimes the overself manifests without danger, watching a sunset, the stars at night, it has good taste. It is a rough life, riding on top of an ape brain. It has a much different view of life. Longer term than an ape. It is like me plowing a field with a mule, and you know what end I watch all day. When I sleep it is free.

If I did not have mechanics and painting, or a fore brain, I would live farther down, anger, hatered, lust, being human. As is I can show girls my paintings, fix their cars, it works out. I try to keep that lower range asleep, and it is what people prod when they wish to get anger from me. They do not debate the merits of my painting.

Since I do not have a fore brain defense, and they think that is all, they walk in, and if ignored, will run right into the one that wants to eat them. In the old talk of the street, they were selling a wolf ticket, I am the big bad wolf! I cashed it. They thought they could win by posturing. They found their head in the mouth of a gator.

Not having a fore brain of any merit, as defined by AS, we live in the obsessive places NT never reach. Analitic ability, art, mechanics, music, math, and I have no idea where my music is, totally missing, and spelling, but others cannot fix machines. We all obsess the same, and we all live farther back in the brain, which is closer to anger, hatered, depression, caused by not eating people, and are gennerally to boring to be of interest to the overself. You most likely know it, when without thought, with super human speed, you pulled yourself from danger. You take a half hour to leave the house, then a tenth of a second to get away from real danger.

Altogether I think NT fore brains cannot ever see the overself, develop the talents we do, and we are closer to the overself. We are also between the NT world and the killer ape. NTs do bother us, but just perhaps, they think they are probing past the fore brain looking for emotion, not knowing they have been stepping on it, and then come face to face with the killer ape.

It would explain how we react to them, and they react to us.

As far as the overself, we should get on better terms. But we are boring.

We get shut out, and overself runs brain stem. It is fast, animal, and dangerous.
