What is New Thought Spirituality with a New Thought Believer

Brian Black went from years of depression, isolation, church trauma, and feeling like he didn’t belong — to finding real healing through New Thought spirituality and becoming a positive music DJ. In this raw conversation, he shares the good, the bad, and the surprisingly culty side of the movement: boomer gatekeeping, paywalled spirituality, self-centered “me” culture, and why most positive music feels inauthentic. Key Topics: Overcoming long-term depression & isolation Church trauma and why he left traditional religion What New Thought actually is (and isn’t) The culty aspects no one talks about Positive music as spiritual practice Mindset shifts that actually work (“I get to” vs “I have to”) Guest Bio: Brian Black is a DJ and advocate for positive music who blends New Thought principles with modern sounds. After battling mental health challenges for over a decade, he turned to New Thought teachings and now creates uplifting musical experiences.
