Uncover a life-changing understanding of your place in the world


Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology, and the cultural enterprises of myth, religion, literacy, and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead...and it has been waiting for you to wake up.

This book will take you on a trip that will revolutionize the way you view the world. Through an exploration of history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, John Payne’s ‘The Emergence of I’ brings you on an adventure of the development of human consciousness from the Paleolithic to the ancient Greeks and Hebrews and forward to the present time.
