Twinship and Consciousness: A Psychotherapeutic Journey through Separateness and Unity
()
About this ebook
For the author, who, as an identical twin, was factually one and the same as her twin before the egg split, these questions as to what constitutes the self and how it emerges from the cosmos have been particularly pressing. In separate cots, they cried every night for three years till put into the same bed. It was like a marriage from birth. In this one life on Earth, should these twins ever have been parted? Does science offer any clues as to what underlies the superficial appearance of separate consciousness, of separate people?
This book is both a description of the transformative experience the author went through and a serious quest for understanding, enquiring into psychotherapy, philosophy and quantum physics. As this dilemma of separateness and relatedness is the human predicament intensified in twins, this story is about all of us.
Wendy Clayton
Wendy Clayton is a twin. She is married with two sons and three grandchildren and is a retired English teacher with numerous interests. Most of all, however, she is fascinated by the wonder of everything, loving to wander the moors close to earth and sky, as well as snorkelling to explore the seas. Curiosity about consciousness led to involvement in the work of the philosopher, J. Krishnamurti and that of David Bohm, the physicist/philosopher. Absorbing all this changed the twinship, thus entered psychotherapy.
