Social Basis of Consciousness, Trigant Burrow from the 30's
Here is a Pdf of a review of Trigant Burrow, by D H Lawrence. Burrow had written 80 years ago. It is amazing that Burrow identified mankind's major malady of living life through a mental picture of himself, or one step removed from Life. It is amazing that this was discovered and then ignored by the whole profession of psycology.
Burrow's method was to create a group of honest people that might interact with each other, attempting to see through the pictures that we all define as Normal, or "seeing before the stories of me". We have been attempting such a group this month here in Chicago with a few selected people. Please take a look at this Pdf of 6 pages.

I like what the book says about groups of people, because in a group it's visible that these 'pictures' we have are alike and not as personal as we might think.
He even writes about evolution of consciousness and what the different stages are, pretty smart for someone in the 30's!
