This reminds me of Jill Bolte Taylor's incredible TED Talk about insights gained during a stroke that harmed her brain's left hemisphere. At the end of the video her conclusion is very close to the ideas expressed above:

Yeah, I saw this video, and lucky she was a brain scientist herself, as she seemed to keep her cool during the whole episode. Something like that would have freaked me out, I once left my body one night falling asleep, and it scared the heck out of me, I quickly made myself jolt back into my body ..because I remember the feeling of free-falling through space totally weightless, it's was so weird, I felt like I'd lost control, but then realised we are not in control of anything, we only think we are. But yeah good video about the two hemispheres appearing to be two selves, so thanks for posting the inspiring video.

I personally value each, that rational analytical ideation is beautiful in its own way, just different to the unbounded visceral present moment.
Bruce Lipton described the two selves as one being the natural program that functions on automatic pilot, in that there is something driving the vehicle that is the human body without conscious awareness it is being driven, and that something is not inside the body, there is no person inside the body ..so the entity that is believed to be inside the body, is a phantom too...two, but not two, because how can there be two lifeS?
LIFE is a VERB. There is no one to stick an S on the end of LIFE. There is only LIFE.
So the ghost in the machine self you believe to be your name your parents gave you, is the man-made program, aka the matrix, the reality that has been unknowingly on your part been programmed into you from birth which is not your natural program.
But all this can get a bit complicated I know, but we have to be allowed to think for ourselves and not be told how to think.And that's what I believe we are here in reality to learn to do, we are here to learn about self, including all the experiences that goes with having a self. He also talked about the idea of each of our selves is a unique mini universe in and of itself, a hologram of the one whole undivided universe, kind of like the seed of the original parent. And that this is probably why humans clash with other humans because we are all living in our own unique realities that are so very different. We just have to learn to know that and respect each universe is experiencing what has been assigned to that particular universe according to their frequency that they are vibrating at.
Human belief systems are all unique , there are so many different ideas, it's hard to know what to believe about anything really, so it seems the imagination that is the human consciousness can divide itself up into multiple dimensions while all co-existing in the same space, talk about entanglement..it's no wonder chaos ensues, but it really is all good though, it's what makes life so rich and diverse, and while all this thinking is going on, there's the silent witness part of our self silently looking on in complete detachment. The movie of life is a mad play, while the screen upon which it appears allows it all to unfold without ever getting involved.
Oh god, don't get me going on this subject, I won't be able to stop, sorry I get a bit carried away, but do feel free to add more content, thanks.
