I’ve long pondered how the Genesis myth sounds like the left hemisphere locking into predominance. The Adapa myth is new to me, and I love how you’ve juxtaposed them. Great article.

Really strong piece. The double fall framing captures something that feels very current, that sense that we’re not wrong so much as mis-tuned. When integration drops out, everything turns into labor or leakage. This feels like a mythic description of a very modern cognitive problem.

Thank you, that is a very interesting article on the garden and the story of good and evil. Perhaps you would also be interested in this perspective. A look at the tree of knowledge, and a different idea about paradise lost and found. https://burnteliot.substack.com/i/168230949

Ever read The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind? …or not directly related, Gurdjieff? I’ve followed based just on your titles to tag for future reading - looks cool 🖖
