Virgin Brain - The Guardians

Liz's story helps explain why many people who believe deeply in comforting fictions never find their way back to reality. Dorothy Martin, Charles Lawhead and many of the other seekers never surrender their belief in the Guardians. Each time the flying saucers fail to show up they quell their dissonance by coming up with new ways to defend their delusions. Elliot Aronson and Carol Taveras are our unsung heroes this week. We're always on the lookout for great personal stories for future Hidden Brain episodes. If you have a story about a powerful experience in your life, especially a story that has left you with more questions than answers, please record a short voice memo on your phone
