We read the world wrong,
and say that it deceives us.
——Tagore
我们错看了世界，却说它欺骗了我们。
In the womb and for some months after birth, nothing is perceived as separate from ourselves – everything is seen as an extension of who we are. Eventually we become aware of our own distinct body. We discover its biological needs and wants and the kind of equipment we have been given to operate in the world to fulfil these. A sense of physical separateness from the mother develops and thereafter the sense of separateness from the rest of the environment. It is only when we have distinguished ourselves from the totality of life that we can actually begin to see and understand what there is around us, and enter into a relationship with what we find. Having established some awareness of our own boundary and shape, we can now explore the boundaries and shapes of other things. By the time we reach the 3rd house – the area of the chart associated with Mercury and Gemini – we are sufficiently evolved to examine the environment more closely, to interact with it, and to form ideas and opinions about what we meet.
在子宫里和出生后的几个月里，我们并不认为自身与其他事物是分开的——一切都被视为我们自我的延伸。最终，我们意识到自己独有的身体。我们发现了生理需求，以及我们拥有实现在这个世界上满足这些需求的方式和手段。感知到身体与母亲分离后，我们发展出与环境其他部分分离的觉知。只有当我们从整体生命中脱离出来时，我们才能真正开始看到和理解我们周围有什么，并与我们所发现的事物建立关系。在建立了对自身边界和形状的认知之后，我们现在可以去探索其他事物的边界和形状。当我们来到第三宫时——这是星图中与水星和双子座相关的区域——我们逐渐能够更仔细地研究环境，与它互动，并对我们的见闻形成想法和意见。
Developmentally, the 3rd house corresponds to the stage in life when we begin to crawl and learn to walk. Provided that we feel reasonably secure (the feeling that ‘Mother is at home’) and with the stipulation that the environment is not too repressive, we naturally relish our greater independence and autonomy. We want to grow and explore. Akin to this is the development of language and the ability to communicate and name things. All this sounds like fun, and yet ironically our growing autonomy and our increasing facility to operate in the world confront us head on with a frustrating sense of our own inadequacy and smallness. There are things out there which are bigger than we are, which are scary and threatening; there are certain laws and limits – some things we are allowed to do or say, and are even praised for, while other things we do or say are reprehended with a scowl or firm slap. Welcome to the world of relativity! What a jigsaw puzzle! It is enough of a task to find all the pieces, let alone figure out how to put them together.
从发展上讲，第三宫对应我们开始爬行和学习走路时的人生阶段。假设我们感到相当安全（“母亲在家”的感觉）并且环境不会太压抑时，我们便可以享受更大的独立性和自主性。我们希望成长和探索。与此类似的是语言的发展以及交流和命名事物的能力。这一切听起来都很有趣，但具有讽刺意味的是，我们日益增强的自主权和生存技能带来的却是一种令人沮丧的不自信和渺小感。我们发现比我们更大的物体，这是让人害怕的和具有威胁性的；还有法律和限制——有些事情我们可以做或者可以说，甚至会受到赞扬，而其他的事情我们说了或者做了则被冷嘲热讽或挨打。欢迎来到相对论的世界！多么神秘莫测啊！对于找到所有的碎片就已经是一项不轻松的任务了，更别说还要弄清楚如何将它们拼起来。
Most psychologists affirm that a true sense of individuality does not develop until language is learned: the typical noun-verb structure of most languages helps the growing child to distinguish subject from object, and in this way, the actor becomes separate from the action. (Little Johnny is not the ball, but he can throw the ball.) Accordingly, the child becomes more conscious of the self as a distinct entity – as a ‘doer’ or the one who is done to. Everything is no longer the same amorphous blob.
大多数心理学家认为真正的个体意识是直到学习语言之后才发展的：大多数语言典型的动名词结构可以帮助成长中的孩子去区分事物的主体，用这样的方法，演员就从表演中独立了出来。（小约翰尼不是球，但他能扔球。）因此，孩子更加意识到自我是一个独特的个体——作为一个\”行动者\”或一个进行操作的人。所有事物都不再是同一个无形状的斑点。
Through language, the child also enters the world of symbols, ideas and concepts, and, for the first time, is able to imagine sequences of events beyond what is immediately available to the senses or the body. Attention can now be focused not just on what is present, but also on hypothetical and abstract qualities of existence. In short, with the advent of language, the mind (or mental self) frees and differentiates itself from the body.
通过语言，孩子也进入了符号、思想和概念的世界，并且第一次能够想象一系列超越感官或身体的事件。现在，意识不仅可以聚焦在存在的事物上，并且注意力也可以放在事物的假设和抽象的思考上。简而言之，随着语言的出现，思想（或精神）变得自由且从身体中区分出来。
