Subjective conscious mind is an analog of what is called the real world. It is built up with a vocabulary or lexical field whose terms are all metaphors or analogs of behavior in the physical world.

For if consciousness is based on language, then it follows that it is of much more recent origin than has been heretofore supposed. Consciousness come after language! The implications of such a position are extremely serious.

The very reason we need logic at all is because most reasoning is not conscious at all.

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

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

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

We know to much to command ourselves very far.
