Five Realities, One Truth: The Human Condition

Drawing on the work of David Bohm and Owen Barfield, Andrew Lohrey has sketched out the limits and the freedoms of the human condition through the five principal realities that constitute the psychological make-up of the human mind and its evolutionary path.




Five Realities, One Truth argues that reality is a relative and local state of mind, a state that is not fixed but arises out of and is shaped by the manner in which we make meaning. In contrast, the conventional model of reality is binary where things are either 'real' or 'unreal'. Truth on the other hand represents an unconditional, non-local state of universal consciousness that underlies all realities and every local mind.
