Think you've answered your own question there. We create these rules as a means to better understand and interpret the world around us, they're our coping mechanism, not necessarily the tools of the divine.
Thank you. You've just given the meaning of The Tree of The Knowledge of Duality that Humans eat from.:clap
Right on, it's nice to hear the explanation I've come to experience fits solidly into an understanding of another as well.
Would you say that your explanation is centric to one of the Abrahamic traditions?
That is, Do you feel that is aligns with a mainstream line of thinking in those or one of those more than another, traditions?
(If you feel you're able to speak for one of them. If not, for any reason, that's okay too
)

It's actually amazingly difficult to unamibgiously define what "left" is.
For experience. Differences create contrast and diversity. Diversity is the spice of life. The diversity and contrast in life gives way to different sensual experiences. From a Sanatana Dharma perspective the universe was created for God to experience Himself as many so we find we are always having difference experiences and we know these experiences because we sense them.
All duality exists due to having an opposite. When all dualities are known as coming from and existing in the same unity, then duality is not real in-itself. In other words the realm of duality can be transcended spiritually whilst living. This transcendence is realisation of one's true nature which lies beyond the senses and duality.

Especially given the subjectivity of the word.
For example, if we are standing facing each other and we each point "left", we point in opposite directions.

It is a story first of all. I speak from my learning about Aramaic idioms and metaphoric poetry. And some common sense.
Ancient traditions point to their God/Gods as the cause of EVERY action for Humans. ie Angels warring in the heavens, God and Satan playing a game with Job, Jesus being tempted in the wilderness by a Devil.
We create our own joys and miseries. Life is like a roller coaster when yer going down dont slow down and stop or you wont have enough motion to go back up.
Just some thoghts.

In the scriptures it is always the right side that has significance.It was the right hand that fathers used to bless their children.Right signifies power and strength as Jesus sits on the right hand of the father. The net was cast on the right side of the boat for the miracle of fish.
Its interesting to me how the left side of the brain is where we are more analytical and scientific and the right side is where we are emotional and spiritual and think with the heart.
Recognizing the significance between right and left brain thinking over two thousand years ago is pretty amazing in itself and actually way further back that that.You might try and say coincidence but it is always consistant through the whole Bible.
On a side note with my own hypothesis(for all the skeptics) I have pondered on the idea of how the right brain controls the left side of the body and why the heart lies slightly on the left side of the body instead of the exact center.Just food for thought!

Right on, Thanks for explaining at how you arrived at the point.
I agree that life is mainly what the mind makes up of the experiences based on past conditioning.
I heard a dharma teacher say that simply put 'we are just conditioned phenomena rolling on', phenomena encountering phenomena... not to totally take our 'choice' or 'soul' out of the matter... that is... not to make it sound like a cold choiceless reality
UNITY!

To the LEFT....
the direction of one's source of the quality of one's circularity,
ending in the gnostic perception of one's RIGHT direction...
merging with one's inner being.
Never sensing up/down, in/out, pro/con....just knowing the "is" of everything.
The ISING of the "ALL".......
