The book explores the concept of the human self as inherently bilingual, positing that consciousness comprises two distinct mental processes that utilize language differently. It suggests that the "mother tongue," rooted in primordial consciousness, develops in utero, while reflective symbolic thought emerges in infancy. This duality of language shapes our understanding of self and consciousness, offering insights into the interplay between innate linguistic abilities and cognitive development throughout life.
