The 'No Thought' State Why your intellect could be holding you back  - Dicken Bettinger #389

The 'No Thought' State Why your intellect could be holding you back - Dicken Bettinger #389

Author: Karl Morris December 26, 2025 Duration: 1:17:51

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.

Revised repeat from February 2024


Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
