In this excerpt, from a talk titled "The World Could Be Anything", Terence speaks about how humans place "mosaic tiles" of language over reality and then live immersed "in this other dimension called 'history'", a linguistic model of the world which we think of as 'real' rather than a construct of our minds, which McKenna calls "the fall into names instead of realities, into constructs of reality rather than reality itself".
