Sometimes our brains get a bad wrap but this doesnt mean our goal should be to turn them of completely and move on like mindless drolls. No folks actually witha little time we can begin to use or brains to help the situation.
I have actually had sponsors and other spiritual “leaders” tell me to turn off my brain and use my heart. That my heart would find the truth in what they where sayng and yet when people ask us to use our heart are we not really using our brain. Perhaps another part of our brain but our brain none the less.
Listen to this lovely podcast about using that thing God gave us and use it allot cause practice makes perfect.
Sorry folks I was a little tired when I made this one so please forgive me if I seem to have a little trouble focusing… yes more then usual.

Hey, I just stumbled across this podcast almost a year later. Although after a long struggle going in and out….or basically stuck a cycle that was a living hell, anyway, I’ve got over 22 months. Your original podcast helped me so much during that time. It was disappointing that it discontinued.
I have gotten kind of stuck in recovery. No sponsor for the past 6 months, but making 3 meetings/week, secretary commitment, and cake lady. Feeling a little less than pleased with myself, you know.
But I listened to the whole thing just now and once again, you really managed to lift my spirits. If I believe my brain is not my friend, then guess what? You nailed it! Amazing how I can beat myself up for having low self-esteem. Combine that with getting sucked into the internet to debate politics or global warming….Not exactly pleasant.
Thanks for explaining to me not just why to use my brain, but some ideas how. I really like how you pointed out the instinct of self-preservation. It’s true!
So thanks, Bruce!
Anymore podcast episodes I’m missing?
Hope things are going well for you now, cause you sounded a little down at the beginning of the show.

Forgot to tell you that we got a dog about a year ago! I think I asked you about dogs a long time ago. But it was on the YouTube comments, so I doubt you remember. She was adopted from the shelter, Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Very loving, but not always gentle! LOL she can be a beast! Perfect for my 2 boys!
Anyway, now I know why dog owners become dog lovers!

yes right now i am doing fine working as a graphic designer for a small company and enjoying it. I have began having severe chronic tension headaches almost a year ago and after much research they still persist so I am still on hold with the podcast. I wish i could do them but my thought patterns just arent very coherent these days. I hope this will improve soon because I am really enjoying my life right now with this one big exception:).
Bruce Wayne says:
yes i have two dogs now… a chewawa and ofcourse old frank.
