Introduction (by Marcel Kuijsten)

1-22

"The association of auditory hallucinations with mental illness {via., secret and concealed mental ill-will on the part of the praeternatural entity imparting the communication} -- rather than spiritual communication or divine revelation {which, if well-intended, ought to involve full disclosure on the part of the praeternatural entity conveying the communication} -- goes back to Plato, but ... did not take hold until the Enlightenment.

{The absence, in purely auditory divine revelation, of simultaneous praesentation through any of senses, may impart a distinct impression of a hidden motivation, on the part of the divine revelator, for concealment; a motivation which, if not explicated during the revelation itself, is likely to impart various misgivings and/or mental reservations on the part of the mortal adressee.} {In the Politeia (Republic) by Platon, an example is provided of full disclosure, in the reported near-death experience by Er the son of Armenios.}

Since then, the subject ... has been studied only sporadically. ...

In a lecture to the Royal institution on the "Visions of Sane Persons," Galton [1908] reported that "the visionary tendency is much more common among sane people than is generally expected" and noted that the tendency toward hallucination starts in childhood ... . {If starting "in childhood", such may be due to the child being's frequently exposed to situations of prayer, where the unwitnessed praesence of supernatural entities is assumed.}

{A purely visionary communication from a praeternatural entity is likely to be even more worthless than would be a purely auditory one; and in either case, absense of disclosure through the other sensory channels may be taken as a vitiating factor, suggesting concealed motivation likely involving ill-will.} {Excessive credulity on the part of the mortal recipient of such an inadequately disclosed communication can be taken as a mark of "in-sanity", i.e., welcoming of 'un-clean' spirits.}

"Hearing Voices : A Common Human Experience (2008) by the Australian counselor John Watins and

a series of books by the Dutch ... professor Marius Romme and Dr. Sandra Escher."

[fn. 6 : "See Marius Romme and Sandra Escher, Accepting Voices (1993), Making Sense of Voices (2000), Living with Voices (2009), and Children Hearing Voices (2010)."]

"Henry Nasrallah [1985] in the United States, Timothy Crow [1997] in the United Kingdom, and Iris Sommer [2009] in the Netherlands ... have proposed right temporal lobe language explanations for auditory halucinations ... ."

"Philip K. Dick ... about his own auditory hallucinations ... incorporated ... into his novel A Scanner Darkly, which was later made into a movie."

"Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (of which the first book, The Golden Compass, was made into a movie), in which each of the human characters has a daemon, or animal companion, that serves a guiding function ... ."

p. 7

"those who ... are heavily invested in {read "thoroughly experienced in"} an alternate definition {not merely "definition", but also including experience} of consciousness,

for example that consciouness involves all {not necessarily "all"; for, merely any would vitiate J.J.'s entire hypothesis} sense perception.

{How, without being consciousness, is one to sense or to perceive anything? Speech may easily be non-conscious (e.g., when "talking in one's sleep"), but sensing and perceiving are not "unconscious".}

Defined in that way, consciousness becomes

indistinguishable from

{not "indistinguishable from"; but, rather, "one of the varieties/contents of"}

sense perception and,

by this definition, all animal life ... would have to be considered conscious.

{Whosoever is not a deliberate liar and a hypocritical cheat is well-aware, as is knowable by their behavior, that all living beings are quite conscious.}

... to address this ..., different "levels" or "types" (e.g., Ned Block's access vs. phenomenal {and also, e.g., Antonio Damasio's core vs. extended -- MTR:"IF"; AR:"APOP", p. 128}) of consciousness are proposed {or rather, "are named" or "are enumerated"}.

Others subsceribe to a form of neo-dualism (... that the mind is ... nonphysical ... and is separate from the body) ... .

{While still others (such as, Alfred North Whitehead) subscribe to a monism asserting that all exising material substance is conscious.}

These more mystical views

{The "more mystical views" are a always highly evidence-based, viz., on the evidence of ongoing personal experience of mystical states of awareness (trances, dreams, etc.).}

p. 8

of consciousness are particularly non-evidence based and

... seem {?!} to stem from the desire {not desire! but often experienced even quite unwillingly} to incorporate deep-seated beliefs {with no belief! often directly experienced even by atheists} in a afterlife {visited even by the living} or survival of cnsciousness after bodily death."

{Direct experience of the "afterlife" is abundantly available in "near-death experience"; while direct witnessing of "survival of consciousness after bodily death" is available through "projection of the astral body".}

"Zelazo describes (2007) "four ... increases" in consciousness ... . Zelazo's fourth stage, reflective consciousness, corresponds roughly to Jaynes's definition of consciousness, whereas Zelazo's first stage, minimal consciousness, describes what Jaynes would term reactivity ... ."

"Foulkes [2002] ... noting that ... dreams go through distinct developmental stages ... states : "... hypothesize that dreaming is ... the operation of consciousness in sleep ... that consciousness develops, and that it does so more slowly and later than is generally believed.""

"Dennett notes that "... non-human animals and pre-linguistic children ... can be ... cognitively competent in many remarkable ways -- including ways that exceed normal adult human competence ... ."" (Brockman 2006)

"the Piraha~ tribe of the Brazilian Amazon's language does not contain words for numbers larger than two ... .

A study ... found that without the precise language for numbers larger than two, the Piraha~ were unable to discriminate between four or five objects.

{Without words for larger numbers, they may have to keep track of larger discrete quantities by a mental picture (or matching by one-to-one correpondence with their fingers-and-toes), but remembring a mental picture (or remembring which finger or two was reached by the matching) is more difficult and less reliable than counting and remembring the word for a specific number.}

"An abstract term for time does not exist in Amondawa." (Sinha 2011)

{Such languages may, however, have words for 'day' and 'night' and perhaps 'month' ('moon').}

This has been noted in other groups as well, such as the Nuer of East Africa."

"Dreams in bicameral culures {which, incidentally, have never existed anywhere} lack consciousness ... --

{The only "bicameral minds" which have ever existed anywhere are persons who have been subjected to surgical severence of the connection between hemisphaeres; and these persons do not lack conscious sleep (which would have to mean 'experiencing all sleep only dreamlessly').}

... receiving behavioral commands from gods."

{Although deities are often witnessed by mortals visiting dream-worlds, such deities never issue commands, but confine themselves to confiding to the mortal that that world is a dream-world (e.g., SHWS, p. 80; and OFGuNR, passim).}

"The British clinical psychologist David Pearson and his colleagues [P;B;FG;G 2001] ... reach ... the conclusion ... : the phenomenon involves

actual hallucinations

{translation : 'actual praeternatural praesentiments'}

and not just imagination.

Many other researchers and clinicians now agree.

[fn. 30 : "See for example, Kanwar Ajit S. Sidhu and T. O. Dickey III, "Hallucinations in Children : Diagnosis ...," Current Psychiatry, 2010, 9, 10."]

Over the years, estimates of the number {read : "percentage"} of children that experience

imaginary companions

{translation : 'praeternatural companionship'}

has ranged from 30 percent to as high as 65 percent. In a large study ...,

Pearson and his colleagues [P;R;D;A;D;S 2001] found that 46 percent experienced ... ."

"in Primitive Mentality, Le'vy-Bruhl ..., describing the voices and visions of the Ten>a of Alaska, states "with thse undesirable denizens of the spirit-world ... the Tan>a may be said to have almost continual intercourse. They hold themselves liable to see or hear them at any time.""

p. 15

"Roger Sperry, who won the Nobel Prize for his split-brain research, states : [1964] "Everything we have seen so far indicates that thw surgery has left each of these people with two sepaate minds, that is, with two separate spheres of consciousness."

Elsewhere, Sperry notes that [1973] "both the left and the right hemisphere may be conscious simultaneously in different, even in mutually conflicting, mental experi-

p. 16

ences that run in parallel."

... with these conclusions, Sperry notes [1985] "we have not been able to see any real justification ... for denying consciousness to the disconnected mute hemisphere."

{Although, as stated, there cannot be "any real justification ... for denying consciousness to the disconnected mute hemisphere," Julian Jaynes is quite consistently in denial (! -- but why?) of this evident fact.}

"Gazzaniga notes that after the split-brain procedure, [1972] "common normal consciousness is disrupted, leaving the split-brain patient with two minds" and [2002] "both hemispheres can be viewed as conscious.""

"The disconnected right hemisphere seems ... not demonstrating ... an analog 'I' narritizing ... ."

"A large number of recent studies now show that new neurons are created throughout life (neurogenesis), and

that signficant changes to brain function without major physiological changes to brain structure (neuroplasticity)." (Shaw & McEachern 2001)

p. 18

"The first neuroimaging study providing evidence ... showing

auditory hallucinations interaction of the right and left temporal lobes appeared in 1999. Since then,

{This would apparently apply specifically to the aggressive, hostile, violent variety of praeternatural voice, namely the unusual type issuing commands to the mortal; but not to the mild, kindly, peaceable variety of praeternatural voice, namely the usual type begging to be commanded by the mortal. [written 22 June 2017]}

p. 19

this finding has been confirmed by numerous other studies. ...

Over the course of the past thirty years, Jaynes's neurological model ... that auditory hallucinations are generated by {read "received in"} the right hemisphere ... has gone from being ... ignored (and ... dismissed ...), to now being considered ... ."

{N.B. The submissive, obedient voice affording (whenever it be commanded to do so) much benevolent advice on how to make for harmonious, loving domestic relationships (as is usual in U-mbanda spirit-mediumship), is immensely more (perhaps by a factor of hundreds of times more) commonplace than Jaynes's aggressive, commandeering voice -- so much so that Jaynes's observations are almost never applicable : that is the very sound reason why his writings were for decades generally "ignored" and entirely "dismissed". [written 22 June 2017]}

[quoted from Carter et al. 2009] "during auditory hallucinations, fMRI scns show activity mainly in the right-hemisphere language areas, rather than in the left-hemisphere language areas typically active in speech production.

This may explain {it cannot explain!} why ... the patient mistakenly {nay! not mistakenly} attributes them to an external source."

{This voice, heard resounding from a particular site in the air, may be similar to that which is designate the "direct voice" in spirit-mediumship : it can be heard by all membres, resounding as it customarily doth from a particular point in the air. The authoresss (et al.) of the book quoted are the ones who are mistaken, and/or are frauds. Spiritualist phainomena have been comfirmed for thousands of years by tens of thousands of audiences and by numerous discriminating investigators throughout the world, despite mendacities spread by deceitful psychologists.}
