People often think that science has to be true or religion has to be true, or they think that science is debunking the Bible and so on and so forth.
What science is, is it's the attempt to establish everything that can be known so that we can more fully embrace the mystery.
And there's a lot of people who, because of their faith, their beliefs find science inconvenient and they deny it.
They're actually denying faith.
They're denying mystery because actually faith occurs when you've extinguished all the things that can be explained.
And instead of existing in a fake state of mystery, where you pretend that something hasn't been explained, you exist in a true state of mystery, where you're like, oh, we actually do have an answer for that, but we don't have an answer for a thing before that.
And I think that's really the invitation of the Bible, is when you read Genesis, not to say, well, which of these two stories is correct, or how do we synthesize them into a single story, but, no, what's the mystery before?
I wrote Primal Intelligence because of this experience with special forces.
And I...
had asked the army when we started doing the research if it was okay for me to start to share the information.
And being the army, they said, well, of course.
They said, we're a public institution.
Feel free to share any of the information you want unless insofar as it compromises our mission.
And they were very generous.
I didn't have a security clearance.
And technically, there were also things I could put in the book that I didn't put in the book that I just kind of tried to restrain myself on.
And then began this really long journey for me to try and explain to people who hadn't gone through this process, this totally different way of understanding their mind.
And part of what's weird about the book is that it's trying to put you back in touch with the way you already knew your mind was.
So your mind started out this way and it knows that it's this way, but it's- Got trained out of you.
It's got trained out of you, yeah.
