(10:05.) You will also become far more aware of the actual processes of perception. There are many inner experiences, obviously, that cannot be expressed clearly or with any justice through even the combined use of words or images.

Use of the language, utilizing sound but not recognizable word symbols, will allow you to understand and express some of these. Doing so will enable you to express far more physically also. There are, to say the least, multitudinous levels of feelings that merge to form what you would call a given experience.

Alphabets can hardly hope to give you more than, if you will forgive me (humorously) lip services to these. Each symbol in an alphabet stands for therefore unutterable symbols beneath it. Now the human voice, as singers know, can be used to express far more qualities of feeling than the normal unadorned speaking voice. Sound itself, even without recognizable words, carries meaning. Oddly enough, sometimes the given meaning of a word does battle with the psychic and physical meaning of the sounds that compose it.

The living vitality of a cordella rises out of the universe’s need to express and understand itself, to form in ever-changing patterns and take itself by surprise. Patterned language allows for no such surprises. The Sumari language has been used in the dream state.

If you were an accomplished artist in many fields, you could translate a given feeling into a painting. A poem, a musical masterpiece, a sculpture, a novel, an opera, into a great piece of architecture. You would be able to perceive and feel the experience with greater dimension, for your expression would not be limited to translating it automatically, without choice, into any one specific area. Its dimensions would be greater to you then. So a cordella as opposed to an alphabet opens up greater varieties of experience and expression.

(11:11.) As basic creativeness is behind all art forms, so cordellas are behind and within alphabets. Cordellas represent the ever-changing unfinished relationships that can never be fully expressed, and that constantly seek expression.
