The "brain" is every bit as much a part of "the soul" as any touchy-feely
stuff might be.
Why defend one method by putting down another? And if you claim that you
were not putting down another method, you're a liar, since you did say
"not just the brain", and the use of "just" in such a context is an
obvious put-down, implying that a left-brain approach is inherently
inferior or less complete than a right-brain approach.
