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.
