Quote

Left-brained phasis or noesis is capable of being "critical" of the naive sympathies and subjectivisms of right-brained gnosis (immersed in its own undifferentiated immediacy), but of course it is NOT capable of being critical of its OWN peculiarly alienated (detached or dissociated or abstracted) ways of positing and relating to its intellectual constructs. We have a pre-self-alienated mode of immediacy that feels and (mis)takes this feeling for thinking, seeing and reasoning; and we have a self-alienated mode (psychological self-disengagement, "abstraction" or formalizing / bourgeois dissociation) that reduces its own feeling-components to something neutralized and manipulable, and this more sophisticated / noetic / abstractive mode mistakes its self-distancing or emotively chilled attitude for "truth" and "objectivity" when in actuality it is only a sort of psychic anesthetic.  Abstractivism is in actuality a form of LOCAL anesthetic that only works on its own feeling or intuitive consciousness, like those disinfectants or "deodorants" that do not counteract odors per se but rather cripple or benumb your sensory receptivity to them.  Thus, instead of actually understanding and mastering one's feeling-life, abstractivism is a normalized or conventionalized modus vivendi that merely withdraws from its own more primitive strata of being.

Quote

Myth is the quintessence or ultimate archetype of intuitive / rightbrained / gnosic / creative thinking:  it is the paradigmatic concentration, application, task, teleology, and mode of energy of this kind of figurative or concretizing thinking, that seeks to make truth "graphic" or palpable, revelatory or feelingly authoritative rather than just permitting it to dissipate and be volatilized into one-sidedly abstract terminology and ideas.  Myth is a strategy of analogical and metaphoric truthmongering, related to the concept that medieval philosophy of rhetoric (John of Salisbury e.g.) called "eloquence," the truth put in its most persuasive form.  Myth is not petty truth but truth in a grand mode, it ruptures the artificial apparatus of false distinctions and dysrelations, the conventional or doxic septa that separate organically related issues from one another:  myth is the infinitization of the finitized world-order that ordinarizing or mediocritizing intellect/ego has perpetrated all across society (modern society most especially).  Myth makes truth whole-mindedly experienceable rather than schematically or formalistically skeletalized and arid, bled white of all the energies of life.  In the warfare between what the Old Testament calls the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, myth is knowledge fighting on the side of life, against the "deathworks" of nihilistic consciousness and science.
