Strange Thing has discovered a basket of treasures and wants to invite everyone to come and enjoy the party. Â “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. How simple that is to say; how difficult to appreciate. It is like asking a flashlight in a dark room to search around for something that does not have light shining on it. The flashlight, since there is light in whatever direction it turns, would have to conclude that there is light everywhere. And so consciousness can seem to pervade all mentality when actually it does not.” – From “The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind,” by Julian Jaynes
