Using the art form, the artist in a strange way broke through line, destroyed what would seem to be the literal continuity of the objective shape. At the same time a few lines were used to hint at a variety of unseen, apparently unstructured objects, so that in that regard the line became in the hands of a master a strong symbol, hinting at other realities that lay within the seemingly distorted portrayal of objects.

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.

(We talked it over. Jane had visualized a painting of houses and trees. She said Seth had considered that an artist could do, say, five paintings; each with different symbols but all with the same basic meaning. Resume in the same manner at 10:55.)
