Greg Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I found this Interesting. I just read about a mythological reference, an age old battle between mind and heart that is being used in AA meetings to describe the alcoholic who stares at a glass of alcohol, his brain knowing it will harm him, but his heart craving the comfort it will provide. The message apparently was - dont feel alone, even the gods were conflicted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_and_Dionysian Their famous quarrel between the god of the sun, reason and the god of wine, intoxication has been said to represent our higher cortex and limbic brains at odds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
