Speaker 0 (0s): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the TrueLife podcast. So happy you're here today. I've missed everybody. I've been down and out with COVID for those of you who've had it. I'm sure you're aware. It's definitely no picnic for me roughly about two weeks. It's still hurting a little bit, but trying to get out there and bring some entertainment to anybody had a couple of interesting days while out on COVID you guys ever noticed that when you get sick, sometimes you have some pretty brilliant insights.
It seems to me that whenever you're faced with a health issue, you really begin to understand what it is that's important in life. You really get to make sense of the little things that you thought were important were really not that important when you're laying in bed and you feel like garbage. All of a sudden the person that was pissing you off kind of minor. I want to talk to you guys today.
I'm really excited. I got my first new book, the debut it's coming out and I'm working on an idea for titles. Originally. I had the Terror before the sacred, and then it kind of morphed into the structure of experience. Those were the two going titles that I had had set up for him recently sent off the hard copy to my editors. I've heard back from one editor with really inspiring and really good notes.
The guy was great. His name is Hugh Barker. If anyone gets a chance and you need an editor, I would highly recommend Hugh Barker. I went to Z, which is a site for authors that you can go and kind of piece out your, your work, whether you want it formatted or edited or pretty much the whole gambit you can find on that site. It's pretty good. I highly recommend it. Most of you are probably thinking, wow, George. So what's the book about buddy? Well, it's a great question.
And thank you for asking it is a topic that is true and dear to my heart, especially in chaotic times, I think we're moving towards a new way in which the world sees itself. I think we're moving on to a new type of myth. I think back about some of the ancient Greek heroes, the Homeric verses Ulysses and the Lotus eaters, Achilles all these great mythological adventures that in ancient times, for ways for people to relate to the world, and then you can move into like king Arthur and the quest for the holy grail.
You could even get into JRR Tolkien and just so many different myths that people throughout the world have sat around a campfire or sat around and told stories about the way in which life is in for so long. We have been operating under these myths that it seems as if we're just repeating or better yet. We're rhyming. The history that came before us, I think once in a thousand years, I'll say humanity comes upon a new way of living.
Humanity finds a new myth to be born. And while it's not incredibly brand new, it has elements of the new brought together with some of the classic motifs that got the human spirit to evolve as far as it has. And let me try to paint you a picture of the foundational myth that I see emerging and let me know what you guys think. I see an evolution of religion.
I see a unified understanding that we are one organism similar to the guy, a concept in that the earth is a mother and those in which grace, the earth are his children, but not exactly more of like, we're all part of this one giant organism. The earth grows people like an apple tree grows apples. You didn't come into this world.
You came out of it. And when you look across the street, when you look at your neighbor, when you look at the car
