I believe that we (spiritual/energy beings) have to be aware of the brain and have control over it as well as the whole body, but the reality of today is that our brain and nervous systems plus hormones control EVERYTHING, and people are like puppets to these complex organisms we all reside in. And to make it worse, the systems that control us may in turn be controlled by something else that benefits from all of this.

I’ve come across self-talk, inner dialogue, and silencing the chatter of the mind a long time ago in Castaneda’s books, but similar ideas and practices can be found in most teachings of the old, from Sufism to Buddhism and even traditional witchcraft... Oh, even Harry Potter books mention that!)) (for what is “occlumency” if not silencing the Inner Dialogue and taking control over one’s though patterns and emotional swings?)

It’s a great subject for thought and more importantly for PRACTICE
