There	was	a	merchant	in	Baghdad	who	sent	his	servant	to		
market	to	buy	provisions	and	in	a	little	while	the	
		 	 servant	came	back,	white	and	trembling,	and	
		 	 said,	Master,	just	now	when	I	was	in	the		
market	place	I	was	jostled	by	a	woman		
in	the	crowd	and	when	I	turned	I	saw	it		
was	Death	that	jostled	me.	She	looked		
at	me	and	made	a	threatening	gesture.	Now,	lend	me	
your	horse,	and	I	will	ride	away	from	this	city	and		
avoid	my	fate.	I	will	go	to	Samarra	and	there	Death	will	
not	find	me.	The	merchant	lent	him	his	horse,	and	the	
servant	mounted	it,	and	he	dug	his	spurs	in	its	flanks	
and	as	fast	as	the	horse	could	gallop	he	went.	Then	the	
merchant	went	down	to	the	market	place	and	he	saw	
Me	standing	in	the	crowd	and	he	came	to	me	and	said,	
Why	did	you	make	a	threatening	gesture	to	my	servant	
when	you	saw	him	this	morning?	“That	was	not	a	
threatening	gesture,”	I	said,	it	was	only	a	start	of	
surprise.	I	was	astonished	to	see	him	in	Baghdad,	for		
I	have	an	appointment	with	him	tonight	in	Samarra.

But	hasn’t		
the	bicameral

debunked?

cognition.	
As	a	theory
