            Knowledge can create illusion.  Example:  I see the ground around me, therefore the earth must be flat.

            In a related way, our brain cannot picture an apple and an orange without one of them being to the other side of the other, we can only describe that impossible physical state where neither is to the right or left of the other.

            Language helps us think because it can transcend the physical world.  

That is why I always found language and writing so spiritual because it allows us to formulate ideas then share them.
