Most thought provoking concept I have read in recent times

[tennisluvrredux]

Researching into the question of consciousness and whether it's a biological process or something that permeates beyond the human experience, came across this theory: 

Bicameral mentality is a hypothesis in psychology and neuroscience which argues that the human mind once operated in a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking", and a second part which listens and obeys—a bicameral mind, and that the evolutionary breakdown of this division gave rise to consciousness in humans. The term was coined by Julian Jaynes, who presented the idea in his 1976 book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind,^[1] wherein he made the case that a bicameral mentality was the normal and ubiquitous state of the human mind as recently as 3,000 years ago, near the end of the Mediterranean bronze age.

I have thought about the implications of this theory myself, and also the supportive and opposite points of view. 

It's very hard to prove this concept, as it related to the theory of the mind so there's not enough practical experimentation we can do to either prove or disprove this, so it becomes a question of belief. 

What I really liked though was the top down approach that was taken into understanding the riddle that's "consciousness" in general and the different aspects that we could approach this problem from.

don't read too much of anything on consciousness from the west

consciousness ni correct ardham chesukovadam ante upnaishads are the best

humans were way more evolved than today, i believe we are getting better in few areas such as tech but losing big time on consciousness
