Re: What about Multiple Personality Disorder?

Ok, I'm getting a lot more convinced of this idea now, due to a variety ideas from other sources and my own experiences. To some extent the non-dominant hemisphere personality may feel itself to be 'trapped' during day to day life, and may 'break through' in dreams and in quite 'out of character' su...

Re: What about Multiple Personality Disorder?

I was listening to an interview with a woman with Tourette Syndrome on the radio this morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n11cv her most evident verbal tic was the injection of the word 'biscuit' almost every second she was speaking. She claims that it is entirely involuntary, and she is neve...

Re: Loki's Speech

Looks like the same idea occured to Terry Pratchett Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.

This is quite interesting and relates to quite a few Jaynesian topics, the split from the gods and the 'fall'. I really feel like western civilisation is losing it's way. So much of what was once known and existed seems to be forgotten or dumbed down out of existence. In the computing/software/tech...

Loki's Speech

Is NLP Technique Related to Jaynes?

I found this post interesting: derren brown and how he does what he does. The way the normal concious response was interrupted by the 'confusing' wording, and then the woman unconsciously looked around for instructions or permission to start moving again. I'm not all that familiar with the ideas or ...
