Abstract

In this paper I explore some thoughts about the relationship between language, an awareness of separateness and the perception of linear time. I focus on work with a patient whose imagery resembled the myths of Paradise and the Fall. I look at how it is only when the circle of idealised omnipotent illusion is broken that language comes to be used as a communication across a gap rather than as the denial of a gap.
