About Me

"Being with those who are very sick has allowed me to watch hundreds of face-to-face encounters between the human mind and its problems. Countless times I have watched my patients twist their problems into opportunities: I have seen average students become superior students when they become paraplegic, those with night-time pain rise to write, and the threat of headache drive many to near-perfect operformances. As a bystander it appears to me that the human mind, in its darkest hours, seeks the brightest guiding star. It seems to thrive on the conversion of problems to opportunities.
If you think about the mirror-writing of Leonardo, the dyslexia of John Hunter, or, in more modern times, the blindness of Helen Keller, the paraplegia of Franklin Roosevelt, or the discrimination against Ghandi and Martin Luther King, you have to ask 'What drives the minds that convert their problems to opportunities?'
The magnificent accomplishments of each suggests there is a mental force that wells up from their most tragic flaw. Somehow these people are able to draw upon a force that heals the world around them. Does the magic of their lives spring from a more harmonious use of the right and left brain? I doubt it.

What is it and where does it come from? I have come to believe that from some deep recess in the right brain springs a 'sense of beauty', perhaps the human mind's highest intellectual ability."- Dr. Richard Bergland
Brain Researcher, 1985

The Sense of Beauty..
