Hi Marsha, thanks for your comment and welcome to the community! I wouldn't like to answer on behalf of Dr McGilchrist, but what I do know is that the relationship between what we see going on in the brain, and how it actually connects to our experience of life is little-known. It's called 'the hard problem of consciousness' so there is room for a self, or a soul, outside of the brain, but the right hemisphere is definitely engaged with experiences of awe.
I just got The Master and His Emissary out of the library!
I hope you love it!
