The origin of consciousness is the origin of the error "existence"The breakdown of the bicameral mind is spatialized time with chronic affect=emotion, fear=anxiety, shame=guilt and mating=sex, and the error that man is "human," i.e., Jaynesian consciousness. "The new spatialized time in which events and experiences could be located, remembered, and anticipated results not only in the conscious construction of a self, but also in a dramatic alteration of our emotions. "We share with other mammals a not very orderly repertoire of affects whose neural substrate was evolved long ago by natural selection into the limbic system deep in the brain. I wish here to mention three: fear, shame, and mating. And in doing so I wish to forewarn the reader that terminology is again a problem, particularly in this area — even the word affect, which I do not like to use because it is so often confused with effect and sounds strange to the nonprofessional. By affect, psychology means to designate a biologically organized behavior that has a specific anatomical expression and a specific biochemistry, one that dissipates with time. But with consciousness, all this is changed. "I shall call this consciousness of a past or future affect an emotion, as that is how we describe it. And what I am proposing here is a two-tiered theory of emotions for modern human beings as distinguished from bicameral man and other animals. There are the basic affects of mammalian life and then our emotions, which are the consciousness of such affects located inside an identity in a lifetime, past or future, and which, be it noted, have no biologically evolved mechanisms of stopping." The ego is Jaynesian consciousness escalating with cybernetic metaphor magically signing for the psycheGuilt. One of the exclusively "human-animal" affects, re. Julian Jaynes. Emotion, anxiety, guilt and sex as the chronically pathological "human-animal" distortions of animal mind, i.e., the sensory manifestations, affect, fear, shame and mating as consciousness. The ego is Jaynesian consciousness escalating with cybernetic metaphor magically signing for the psyche, as it does for the soul or spirit. Hence The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (Jaynes) the 'is' as I engaged with not affect but ⇝emotion, not fear but ⇝anxiety, not shame but ⇝guilt and not mating but ⇝sex. Chronic pharmakon 3t: t=fallacy (son). t2=self-deception (spirit). t3= mental disorder (father)X (chronic pharmakon) is no mere time-line with gravity-acceleration, t. It is jerk and jounce also, i.e., 3t. t=fallacy, son : t2=self-deception, spirit : t3=mental disorder, father. |
