Any books or movies on keeping the fire lit both physically and metaphorically? About how fired changed the human mind physically as we began to cook and how we began to continue congregate around it. We told stories around it and expanded human collective consciousness, something that stays lit inside us and keeps us going. Fire keeps us focused away from the darkness around us and the darkness inside us.
I swear I saw a decent movie in Netflix years ago about keeping the fire lit years ago.
I have heard there is a an acid culture myth that because we evolved staring into fires if you stare into a camp fire long enough you will activate the third eye aka pineal gland or something along those lines Has anyone heard this? I googled it and thought the idea seemed based on something descartes said a long time ago
