"Though it makes sense to inquire how and when
consciousness
developed into what we now experience as such," Barfield concedes in "The
Evolution Complex," "it makes no sense at all to inquire how and when mind
emerged from matter." Indeed, as Barfield goes on to show, "Mind and world
are best compared not (as with Descartes) to two entire strangers who have
somehow got into bed together, but rather to the obverse and reverse sides
of a single coin" (EC 12).
In "Man, Thought, and Nature," Barfield quotes
Rudolf
Steiner's maxim:
The mind is related to thought, as the eye
is to light. (RCA 228)
