involved in the objects of its attention. Language does for 
intelligence what the wheel does for the feet and the body. It 
enables them to move from thing to thing with greater ease 
and speed and ever less involvement. Language extends and 
amplifies man but it also divides his faculties. His collective 
consciousness or intuitive awareness is diminished by this 
technical extension of consciousness that is speech.

     Bergson argues in Creative Evolution  that even 
consciousness is an extension of man that dims the bliss of 
union in the collective unconscious. Speech acts to separate 
man from man, and mankind from the cosmic unconscious. As 
an extension or uttering (outering) of all our senses at once, 
language has always been held to be man’s richest art form, 
that which distinguishes him from the animal creation.
