About This Book
The author argues that human consciousness is rooted in pre-mental, bodily centers rather than cognition, locating primary awareness in centers such as the solar plexus and lumbar ganglion. He traces psychic and physical development from conception through stages—sensory growth, early education, emergence of sexual feeling—and examines parent-child bonds, instinctual drives, sleep, dreams, the lower self, and moral exhortation. Intermittent cosmological and philosophical reflections connect individual psychology to broader mythic and anthropological sources. The work blends intuitive theorizing, bodily metaphors, and critical reflections on contemporary education, sex, and psyche to propose a dynamic, embodied model of human consciousness and its cultural consequences.
