“What is the meaning of life?" This question has no answer except in the history of how it came to be asked. There is no answer because words have meaning, not life or persons or the universe itself. Our search for certainty rests in our attempts at understanding the history of all individual selves and all civilizations. Beyond that, there is only awe.

DM for info, thanks y'all *** "In being conscious of consciousness, we feel it is the most self-evident thing imaginable. We feel it is the defining attribute of all our waking states, our moods and affections, our memories, our thoughts, attentions, and volitions. We feel comfortably certain that consciousness is the basis of concepts, of learning and reasoning, of thought and judgement, and that it is so because it records and stores our experiences as they happen, allowing us to introspect on them and learn from them at will. We are also quite conscious that all this wonderful set of operations and contents that we call consciousness is located somewhere in the head. On critical examination, all of these statements are false." - Julian Jaynes, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind *** #handmade #handmadejewelry #etsy #etsyshop #art #710 #opal #heady #headstash #btc #bitcoin #julianjaynes #philosophy #psychology #nature #natural

🌻 "O, what a world of unseen visions and heard silences, this insubstantial country of the mind! What ineffable essences, these touchless rememberings and unshowable reveries! And the privacy of it all! A secret theater of speechless monologue and prevenient counsel, an invisible mansion of all moods, musings, and mysteries, an infinite resort of disappointments and discoveries. A whole kingdom where each of us reigns reclusively alone, questioning what we will, commanding what we can. A hidden hermitage where we may study out the troubled book of what we have done and yet may do. An introcosm that is more myself than anything I can find in a mirror. This consciousness that is myself of selves, that is everything, and yet is nothing at all - what is it? And where did it come from? And why?" - Julian Jaynes, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" #flower #julianjaynes #consciousness #epistemology #backyardflowers #garden #quote #quotes

Mondo di visioni non vedute e di silenzi uditi è questa regione inconsistente della mente! E ineffabili essenze questi ricordi impalpabili, queste fantasticherie che nessuno può mostrare! E quanto privati, quanto intimi! Un teatro segreto fatto di monologhi senza parole e di consigli prevenienti, dimora invisibile di tutti gli umori, le meditazioni e i misteri, luogo infinito di delusioni e di scoperte. Un intero regno su cui ciascuno di noi regna solitario e recluso, contestando ciò che vuole, comandando ciò che può. Eremo occulto dove possiamo studiare fino in fondo il libro tormentato di ciò che abbiamo fatto e ancora possiamo fare. Un introcosmo che è più me di ciò che io posso trovare in uno specchio. Questa coscienza, che è il mio me stesso più segreto, che è ogni cosa eppure non è nulla di nulla, che cos’è? E da dove venne? E perché?
