"The brain determines the mind as the mind sculpts the brain."
Everything you think and feel is entirely determined by the brain at that moment. However, as soon as you exercise voluntary changes in the way you think, your brain changes as a result. The next time you encounter similar circumstances, the brain will remember its last experience and cause you to think and feel similarly. Afterwards, you have the option to evaluate your response to the present circumstances, and make changes again.
Does this help at all?
