The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Whether it is a true theory or not, it will break your mind temporarily. I found that very useful.

✨🙌✨ Highly recommend reading the book, it is as close as we can get to a mental "upgrade" of our minds. You will feel a different person when finishing the last page. Once done, please have a look again at the artwork. It will all come together nicely. big love!
