This isnt the ego by the way, its just part of their brain simply being over active due to pressure, stress and general anxiety. Some people are more prone to anxiety than others due to their DNA makeup. Clients tell me that despite their best efforts they cant help but act in a way which feels like they are not in control. This is an anxious mind running instinctively and also when it does this it shuts out the rationality from the cortexs, which its designed to do.
Wisdom comes in many forms and whilst some of it makes total sense sometimes it also isnt practical and doesnt take into account the natural functions of the brain and our psychological make up. (we are all irrational thinkers)

Well, I dare say, your clients don't
know the Truth - we are talking about different things - Truth being God - Reality and what knowing is.
With all due respect, therapists, doctors, news editors come at it from how they were trained by the "world". No?
We (or I) am coming from the "world unseen" - the place that created
all that you see including the brain and all it's chemicals;
that world.
There are physical laws and there are spiritual laws ----spiritual laws always
trump the physical laws...when called upon and believed. ( ie, raising the dead, resurrecting, healing the sick, levitating or the 'unexplained' daily miracles in our lives.)
I have been in so much therapy in the past - I was on anti-depressants- actually more for OCD. Not any more!
The "Truth", I'd rather say God or Holy Spirit, completely healed and changed my brain chemistry. Well, and healed my hip that was headed for replacement.
BUT, I don't ever try to convince or change a worldly person's thinking.
There is this concrete stuff, we hear and see - then
there is the miraculous - I deal with the miraculous.
("Focus on the things above and not the things on the earth." Col 3:2 For an example of old spiritual wisdom and insight.)
There are people here that if they were told by a doctor
they had cancer ---I bet they would believe him and think they did.
There is no way I would buy into that.
So, see you are talking to a irrational person according to the "world's" standards. Spiritually, I'm very rational.
T
he world and the spirit - will never talk the same language.
Apples and oranges.
But it was nice taking to you, Shepherd -tho we view the world differently - so what, right?
