Joan of Arcadia: 2.15

little girl God:and they all lived happily ever after. there's a surprise. heh, you guys really like that ending.

Joan: yeah, well, you have a better one?

little girl God: they all moved towards spiritual growth and enlightenment?

Joan: yeah, that's gonna work with the kids.

little girl God: ever notice that the guy always has to risk his life and girl is nearly dead when he finds her? it takes a kiss to wake her up and they ride off together. it's a nice metaphor.

Joan: for what?

little girl God: death and resurrection.

Joan: yeah, that's a fun party game

little girl God: it happens all the time. the illusion dies so that something deeper can take it's place.

Joan: are you saying that adam and i are an illusion?

little girl God: romance serves a purpose. it's a meditative state. it puts logic to sleep so that people can come together. otherwise, you guys probably wouldn't risk it.

Joan:why did you have to make love so complicated? i mean, could not one thing have been easy?

little girl God: love is big. it's a bright light in the universe. and a bright light casts a big shadow. so what do you want to do, Joan?

Joan: how am i supposed to know?

little girl God: by looking at it. real love is hard work. you have to decide if you want it in your story. or, if you'd rather just stay in the dream.

You are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and a predominantly visual learner, an interesting blend of characteristics!

You are an intensely visual person, active and continuously searching. As such, there is no rhythm or beat to limit your learning. You are constantly absorbing and imaging. Your tendency to be left- hemisphere dominant, however, creates some difficulties. You continue to attempt to structure all that input and categorize it, at the same time continuing to seek out new input while "reflecting" in what you have already gained.

With your visual orientation absorbing so much input, you sometimes utilize your left-brain focus to identify logical aspects of what you perceive and may become overwhelmed by details.

When faced with situations where you have to rely on verbal input exclu- sively, you may find yourself needing to work more on maintain- ing an "overview" or perspective in order to fully grasp the material. It is likely that "sketching out" a representation of material that you are listening to will enhance your understanding and recall of the material. Drawing diagrams and note- taking allow you to "see" the relationships and absorb them more fully.

You tend to focus on details and are generally logical and organized. You have an intensity which is evident to others and yet can feel comfortable with the applied aspects of learning, the practical.

Given that you are somewhat goal-directed, the difficulty with being so visual is that you continuously "see" new goals and thus may be drawn from one to the other or at least forced to think about them within present structures. Because of your visual processing mode, you are regularly faced with tolerating and integrating ambiguity, a process which disrupts the equilibrium of your left-hemisphere preeminence.

It is likely that you are restless continuously and do not feel challenged. You may well explore engaging in activities which enhance right-hemisphere functioning which would reduce some of the tension you might currently be experiencing.

believe it or not, i had a conversation with my grandfather about LIGERS. (!!)
