Embracing Threefold Thinking: God, Devil, Trickster

The chapter delves into the concept of threefold thinking, proposing the ideas of God, devil, and trickster as a more nuanced approach to understanding complex issues like political ideologies. It explores how the brain creates illusions of sharp divisions between concepts, advocating for thinking beyond dualistic perspectives. Drawing parallels with various triads like sulfur, salt, and mercury, the speakers discuss cycles of initiation, sustenance, and transformation and emphasize recognizing boundaries as potentially illusory tricks of the mind.
