Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size the everyone does not know everyone else.

The importance of writing in the breakdown of the bicameral voices is tremendously important. What had to be spoken is now silent and carved upon a stone to be taken in visually.

Consciousness is always open to many possibilities because it involves play. It is always an adventure.

The vestiges of the bicameral mind do not exist in any empty psychological space.

I shall state my thesis plain. The first poets were gods. Poetry began with the bicameral mind.

Include the knower in the known.

We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog 'I' that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.
