I've often felt that conflict myself. Steven Universe does express it well, with the rocky relationship that Pearl (White Diamond's pearl) and Amethyst often have. They're the opposite of each other in so many ways that finding a common ground often seems impossible.

Yet when they get together, they form Opal, a fusion of amazing power, and far more capable than anything Pearl and Amethyst could do on their own, even working together.

I often go on and on about the powers of the right brain and using creative thinking in theorizing. But it's also tempered by the left brain too, so the creative stream of ideas doesn't just fly off into space somewhere, but stays directed towards the goal of finding answers within the real of possiblity.

As much as both the mind and the heart might not want to admit it.. they are much more powerful when they work together. I found you have a concept of the word "mind", which means you could understand something deeper than normal readers, so I have rewrite my previous comment about brain, please have a check and you may found something different what I actually mean.

Mind is more than brain and even more than body, it can be every cells of your body, they can have their own thoughts, own memories, own sensation. Brain is an organ of our body. We can say our brain is our mind, but we cannot say our mind is our brain. That's the same situation we can say our hand is our body, but we cannot say our body is our hand.

Every words have multiple meaning. Brain could mean an organ of our body, it could also use as a metaphor for complex meaning like mind. I use brain more than mind because everyone know brain and lesser know about mind.

Let's give yourself and others some time digest first. Once you and others feel comfortable and interest to know more, we could move on about mind, also the concept of heart, and even the concept of soul.
