“The first trap is a story that proposes to rule over and reward or punish us. The second trap is a story that proposes to liberate us from the first. Generally, the first trap is well-armed with sophisticated histories, and the second is well-armed with fantastical projections of hyperbolic metaphor and mimicry of science.

Nevermind the traps. Go for what they are obscuring. It’s within you, and its authenticity and power are staggering enough to reveal and obliterate the traps… unless you choose otherwise.”
