Quotations by:
Jaynes, Julian
Consciousness is a much smaller part of mental life than we are conscious of, since we cannot be conscious of what we aren’t conscious of.
Julian Jaynes (1920-1997) American psychologist
The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (1976)
The mind is still haunted with its old unconscious ways; it broods on lost authorities; and the yearning, the deep and hollowing yearning for divine volition and service is with us still.
