ABSTRACT
“There is much more continuity between intra-uterine life than the impressive caesura of the act of birth would have us believe.” I don’t know if I am misinterpreting this quotation, but I think it is not inappropriate that Freud says, “the impressive caesura . .. would have us believe”, as if it were the caesura that governed us. This reminds me of the early Homeric description from which one gets the impression that the phrenes is really the origin of human thoughts and ideas – a very reasonable scientific conclusion because it is obvious that when a person expresses himself the diaphragm goes up and down. The diaphragm, the caesura, is the important thing; that is the source of the thinking.
