Myth

> Jung was very attracted to I Ching "its aptness and clarifying power". He was so astonished by the deep insight that I Ching gave him for all his vital questions, that he said he almost believed in the old myth of a living creature housing in the book.

The problem with the term extended cognition centers on the fact that it misses the ghost in the box quality or phenomenon Luhmann, and other scholars have described. However, there may be some validity to the issue Yeo points out concerning the term extended. For this reason, Scott P. Scheper has chosen to retain the term Mind (in order to encapsulate the ghost-like spirit and the experience of having internal dialogue).

When you peruse the thoughts written in the hand of someone who has died, it’s almost as if there’s a ghost-like quality to it. Ann Blair observes that handwriting gives readers a “privileged point of access to the person writing.” (Blair, Early Modern Attitudes, 265. 106 Yeo, Notebooks, Recollection, and E) -- Scheper, Antinet Zettelkasten.
