Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.

In chapter 3, Michael explains the myth of the serpent and the woman, with the serpent a representation of our unconscious brain. Next, we consider the heroes journey as an outline for the human soul, and how the Bible contains 100s of heroes’ journeys.
