Prometheus Cain,Consciousness and the Wrath of God

Prometheus Cain and Wrath of God My painting Prometheus Cain and the Wrath of God looks at the mythological dynamic from two perspectives.  It illustrates the phenomenon of enlightenment being shared prior to the punishment being executed. From the Greek perspective, it is the agent of enlightenment to man, Prometheus, who is the one suffering the wrath of the Gods. In the Jewish/Christian philosophy, it is the receiver of enlightenment, Eve, who suffers the wrath of God. In the background is Zeus looking down from his domain of Olympus.  He appears remote, almost uninterested in the dynamic being played out […]

The Origin of Human Consciousness

Origin of Human Consciousness Dramatised in Ancient Myth and Visual Art The origin of human consciousness dramatised in ancient myth and visual art I was prompted to create this post after reading The Origin of Consciousness in the Break Down of the Bicameral Mind by  Julian Jaynes and recognizing similarities to my theory of Dream Linguistics. Jaynes argues that the breakdown of the Bicameral Mind and the appearance of human consciousness can in a large part be attributed to writing.
