About this ebook
Authors, Bruce and Evelyne, help you navigate a spiritual journey to meet the dynamics of your true self and become equipped and empowered to pursue your real destiny
Meet the Secret Inhabitants of Your Mind, is filled with ground breaking insight into how our mind functions. Using clever pictorial images, symbolic characters of our mind are illustrated giving understanding on how our thoughts and actions are influenced. In order to heal many times we need issues to be revealed. Bruce and Evelyne give great insight into revealing the source of problems in our lives enabling us to walk in freedom through the healing power of Gods love. I recommend this book to all who want to progress in their God-given destiny with a transformed heart and mind. Rev. Patricia Bootsma, Co-Lead Pastor, Catch the Fire Toronto Airport Bruce and Evelynes book does an outstanding job of bringing a clear Biblical understanding of our minds, hearts and spirits and how they relate. Especially relevant for today is their non-threatening presentation of evil influences on the mind and how, with Gods help, we can effectively deal with them.

PREFACE
W elcome to an adventure that will take place in your very own imagination. Meet the Secret Inhabitants of Your Mind is a unique and original metaphor that simplifies the natural and spiritual dynamic within humans. We have represented the processes inside our minds, with many characters
who influence our thoughts and actions. These characters have their own personalities and special roles.
As you read, you will discover who you can trust in the battle for your soul. The battleground will surprise you. Many have been deceived by a master of lies. This metaphor appeals to people who are interested in stretching their views of life and seeking the truth.
We trust you will enjoy using your own imagination to visualize and animate the characters. You will probably encounter some new ideas. We hope you will explore them in depth. We, Evelyne and Bruce (authors), encourage you to use this book as a study guide in small groups to get more out of the concepts.
On one level it’s fun, new, and interesting. On a deeper level, knowledge is power, so meeting these inhabitants could transform your life. We assume you want to live the most successful and satisfying life possible. When you meet and understand these characters, you will be empowered to achieve your real destiny. Believe it or not, while we don’t know you personally, we care that you, our precious reader, find a more powerful way to live and love. We invite you to join us as we reveal the secret inhabitants of our minds.
Holy Spirit guided the creation and development of the characters and has led us in our spiritual growth to be able to write this book.
We believe everything we share with you in this book is the truth. These truths are vitally important, and we hope you will consider them with an open mind. Our characters’ roles are consistent with our understanding of scientific thought, brain research, and biblical study. We are not scientists and make no claims to having created a scientific model for the brain. Rather, we have put together a visually vibrant and uniquely creative way of viewing the human condition. These characters are not from our imagination but were revealed to us supernaturally. You will learn about their exciting challenges, functions, and passions. We constructed a physical set about ten feet long and seven feet high so we could share with you, through photos, what our characters look like and what they do. There are charts at the end of most chapters that provide simple, thought-provoking questions and comments to help you deepen your understanding.
