The one caveat I offer for anyone who wants to read that fascinating book is that Lash then—like many people right now—seemed fairly bogged down in the gnostic rabbit hole instead of updating and modernising that paradigm from a meta-level, something, admittedly, very few people are doing a good job of (more on that elsewhere, particularly my coming second and third books—or check out my post The “Soul Trap” PSYOP for a teensy weensy taster).

There are now over eight billion people on the planet. We each have a different psychophysiological reaction to any given stimuli, no matter how minute the difference. From forks to forklifts, spoons to spoonerisms, folklore to philosophy. Every single one of us perceives everything differently.

The way I perceive the concept of something as simple as a tree is fundamentally different than the way every single other person perceives the “same” concept. This is due to our historically unique experiences with “trees.”
