“Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche. Just as the human body connects us with the mammals and displays numerous relics of earlier evolutionary stages going back to even the reptilian age, so the human psyche is likewise a product of evolution which, when followed up to its origins, show countless archaic traits.” MenHumansStillsShowsBodyAgeHuman BeingsLevelsStageProductsDevelopmentEvolutionConsciousDeeperCivilizedDisplayTraitsHuman BodyMemories Dreams ReflectionsRelicsMammalsHuman Psyche Author:Carl Jung
“And when it is suggested that the inward feelings of power or inward monitions or losses of judgement are the germs out of which the divine machinery developed, I return that truth is just the reverse, that the presence of voices which had to be obeyed were the absolute prerequisite to the conscious stage of mind in which it is the self that is responsible and can debate within itself, can order and direct, and that the creation of such a self is the product of culture. In a sense, we have become our own gods.” MindSelfFeelingsOrderCultureVoiceLossStageCreationDivineProductsReturnTruth IsConsciousDirectAbsolutesResponsibleDebateJudgementReverseInwardMachineryGermsPrerequisites Author:Julian Jaynes
“it is my conviction that the personality of the writer has nothing to do with the literate product of his mind.

“This earth is one of the rare spots in the cosmos where mind has flowered. Man is a product of nearly three billion years of evolution, in whose person the evolutionary process has at last become conscious of itself and its possibilities. Whether he likes it or not, he is responsible for the whole further evolution of our planet.” MenYearsMindPersonsWholeEarthLastsThreeProcessPossibilityPlanetsProductsEvolutionConsciousResponsibleBillionsLikesSpotsCosmosOur Planet Author:Julian Huxley
“In the old days, people used to risk their lives in India or in the Americas in order to bring back products which now seem to us to have been of comically little worth, such as brazilwood and pepper, which added a new range of sense experience to a civilization which had never suspected its own insipidity... From these same lands our modern Marco Polos now bring back the moral spices of which our society feels an increasing need as it is conscious of sinking further into boredom, but that this time they take the form of photographs, books, and travelers tales.” PeopleNeedsFeelsLittlesHas BeensBookSeemsFormUsedOrderMoralRiskModernLandProductsCivilizationConsciousIndiaPhotographTalesRangeBoredomOur SocietyTravelerSpicesOld DaysSinkingPeppersMarcosPoloMarco Polo Author:Claude Levi-Strauss
“To translate kinesics or paralinguistic messages into words is likely to introduce gross falsification due not merely to the human propensity for trying to falsify statements about "feelings" and relationship and to the distortions which arise whenever the products of one system of coding are dissected onto the premises of another, but especially to the fact that all such translation must give to the more or less unconscious and involuntary message the appearance of conscious intent.” GivingTryingHumansFactsFeelingsProductsMessagesConsciousAppearanceDuesAriseStatementsUnconsciousIntroducingTranslateGrossTranslationsPremisesDistortionPropensityInvoluntaryFalsification Author:Greg Bear
