The title to  Alan Alda's new book illustrates Bo's point: 

"Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself."

Or as I like to ask:

"Who is the I that knows me?"

Or another way to look at it:

"To evoke a whole you must simultaneously evoke something beyond the
whole for the whole to take shape as a whole."
