Origin of Left and Right Labeling?

[futurecurrents]

Quote from Fractals 'R Us:

Languages east of Jerusalem are written right to left and those west of Jerusalem are left to right pretty much, no?

Louise Hay talks about the left side of the body as "representing receptivity, taking in, feminine energy, the mother", and the right side of the body as "giving out, letting go, masculine energy, men, the father".

I've read things from writings of Japanese martial artists wherein they talked about sizing people up for technique by observing how they did things with their right hand and for other things by watching the left hand.

Thank you. Very interesting. But this is only true for right-handed people I presume. Very politically incorrect.

RCG, did you get a slap on your wrist for your drive by shootings?

No, this is completely unsolicited. There has been a change in tone. I am simply responding to that.

Magna, as promised, has been as hands off as Joe was.

Quote from JamesL:

from the Old Testament

Ecclesiastes Chapter 10:2

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

Good points, James;

I may want to study that one some more;
i used to think big gov was right, till Pres Ronald Reagan did ''right', showed me the light'LOL

Pre s Ronald Reagan showed me the light/right.PS Ronald Reagan used to be a Democrat, so remember proper wisdom can take time-LOL================================Peace

Murray I think Reagan was not joking when he said it was not him that changed but the party.

Classical liberals favored big constitutional rights and freedoms like Reagan and non establishment non neo con republicans.

Now we have big govt crony loving drone wanting left and big govt crony loving right.
