Love it:
"Perhaps the most controversial theory of consciousness was proposed by Julian Jaynes (1976)....Jaynes proposed that people in ancient civilizations could not independently process information or think as we do today. In other words, individuals appeared to the obeying commands that they heard inside their head. Jaynes...believed that early peoples interpreted these so-called voices, or possible auditory haloucinations, as commands from the gods that told them what to do and how to behave and basically presented them with everything they needed to maintain their existence...Being so dependent on their gods, people from these cultures were not conscious. According to Jaynes, many examples of obeying these inner voices can be found in both the Old and New Testaments, as well as in writings such as the Iliad
by Homer. -"Consciousness and Behavior" by Wallace and Fisher
