ABSTRACT
The idea of "self' is transformed from a fixed state into a dynamic process, a process that implies the presence of another to hear, or to invite, the dealing out, the speaking, spelling, and crying of selving. Being is constituted, as it sings through time and space to the summons and responding of another. For the unity of being, time and space is a fundamental premise of both philosophers and psychoanalysts. Time as movement, or clock time, though, is only one aspect of lived time. For, inextricable from this "time-saturated" condition is an essential anchoring in the present: an ability to be lost in the moment without undue distraction by either memory or desire. The "unselved" experience being, time, and their own bodies as detached from each other, as prominently foregrounded entities.
