found a great answer too

The brain and spirit are two different entities and do not control each other. The spirit does try to keep the brain from making poor decisions becasue the aim of the spirit is to reduce the amount of karma that is created.

The view of traditional esoteric teachers is that we comprise two distinct “selves.” One, the spirit, is the true self. The other, the false self, made up of conditioned beliefs and primitive motivations, clearly reflects the activities of the brain. For most of us, most of the time, the false self is in charge. When the body dies, so does the false self, of course. Teachers try to help their pupils learn how to control and inhibit the activities of the false self, and it seems there is no general theory of how this is done. Everyone has to eventually find their own answer.

The brain limits the expression of spirit on the physical level but does not control it. Ultimately, the spirit has its way with the brain and controls it to an ever greater degree.

No, not only. Human spirit can’t change it itself. Spirit may have black spots or deficiency of harmony or wounds. In order to heal human spirit needs mind and brain. Brain and mind are a powerful biological apparatus, which can change human spirit, which can heal spirit and body. Hence, mind (thoughts) can change biological brain. It would be underestimating to call brain just a receiver of spirit.

My understanding about spirit.

young boys( under 18) who are crazy sees a girl and excited with full hormonal activity. They respond based on spirit or aura or whatever shyt

at that moment they don’t think with brain,, they dont have consciousness..,

all of this is a spiritual .,, love or thoughts about sex.,

as they get older they develop brain level thinking.,, this is right this is not good to feel crazy about girls.,attitude.
