Re: The Bicameral Mind in His Dark Materials /The Golden Compass
I watched season 1 of His Dark Materials and was disappointed. Firstly, the acting and script were very weak, even for a series aimed at teenagers. Secondly, I found the connection to Jaynes's theory extremely tenuous. Yes, people had daemons, but there was no particular segregation in function betw...

internal family systems
Internal family systems ( https://ifs-institute.com/ ) is a relatively new approach to psychotherapy that is generally consistent with Jaynes's theory. However, rather than dividing the mind into only two parts (i.e. bicameral), the mind is understood as naturally multiple with an unlimited number o...

Alphabet vs Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image
Leonard Shlain published the book "The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image" in 1999. This book, that examined the psychological implications of alphabetic literacy, seems highly complementary to the Bicameral Mind Theory. I'm not sure whether Shlain was aware o...

Re: Gary Lachman's History of Consciousness
I finished reading it. The book has some minor complaints with Jaynes (1977), but is generally respectful and treats Jaynes as a puzzle piece completing part of the puzzle. I just want to reiterate my initial impressions that Lachman considers a much wider sweep of history from pre-historical times ...

Re: "Me" as a metaphor
> did the word "me" at one time mean "body?"
Yeah, that seems plausible to me. I'm not sure about the rest of your post.

Gary Lachman's History of Consciousness
Up until page 144, I'm been pretty impressed by Lachman's work. He manages to trace further back into the past than Jaynes, citing "The dream culture of the Neanderthals : guardians of the ancient wisdom" by Stan Gooch. Lachman also provides a lucid definition of consciousness based on ear...

Gary Lachman's History of Consciousness
In 2003, Gary Lachman published "A Secret History of Consciousness." He discusses Jaynes (1977) in Chapter 13, but what I really like about the book is Lachman's survey of authors prior to Jaynes. My impression from reading The Origin of Consciousness (1977) is that Jaynes came up with his...
