Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger.

Dicken completely changed his approach to psychology after meeting Syd Banks and understanding the ‘Three Principles’

He then spent over twenty years studying with Syd and is now acknowledged as one of the world’s leading teachers of the principles.

During a very wide ranging conversation we discussed the ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought

  • How we spend so much time trying to ‘control’ things with the intellect
  • Trying harder
  • Thinking more
  • Being so involved with our thoughts
  • Trying to ‘change’ our experience
  • Why the intellect alone cannot solve our problems and issues
  • Understanding what WISDOM is and how we can learn to trust it more
  • A deeper intelligence when we are fully PRESENT
  • A quiet mind that is FULLY PRESENT
  • A KNOWING that cannot be explained
  • How to access true WISDOM
  • How the intellect creates tension and upset
  • The limitations of trying to ‘think’ positive
  • No human being can ‘think’ their way to contentment
  • The ‘NO THOUGHT’ state
  • What is it?
  • How is it accessed

A really wonderful conversation with Dicken to get you to consider just how much our intellect is trying to run the show.

There is another way and Dicken explains beautifully what it is.
