Dr. Hobbs point is well-taken--my comment was rather vague.

My ref. to Barr has nothing to do with Dr. Hobb's comments re. the
figurative associations of thought (guts/liver/heart/brain). I was
attempting to poke a bit at the idea of Heb. being a 'right-brained
language' that requires us to think 'more intuitively and less
analytically.'
