“The wrong metaphor can deny us our nature. For example, we think we send and receive signals. But since when were we radios or telephones? Since we invented them. I suspect that the first metaphor was akin to ‘melting together to become a mixed unity’. In other words, we were not sending and receiving signals, we were establishing a ‘third position of mind’ in which we both shared, and the signals were the symptom of success. When we forgot this, the signals became the practice of the forgetting.”
