The language of men was involved with only one hemisphere in order to leave the other free for the language of the gods.

No one is moral among the god-controlled puppets of the _Iliad_. Good and evil do not exist.

The language of men was involved with only one hemisphere in order to leave the other free for the language of the gods.

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

Poetry begins as the divine speech of the bicameral mind. Then, as the bicameral mind breaks down, there remain prophets.

Consciousness is a much smaller part of our mental life than we are conscious of, because we cannot be conscious of what we are not conscious of.

Every god is a jealous god after the breakdown of the bicameral mind.
