The trip is also advantageous, and it would not hurt you to keep your eyes and ears open during that journey.

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.

Now the Sumari language will avoid specific, indelible, rigid pattern in much the same way. (Pause.) By changing the names of objects you automatically look at them in a new fashion, yet certainly all objects will not be given names, for this would defeat our purpose.

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.

In quite different terms however it is a language that is at the base of all languages, and from which all languages spring in your terms. Alphabets do not change, or you would consider them relatively useless. Cordellas, as I told you, do change. Alphabets are the physical aspect of cordellas. One very small aspect of a cordella is sized upon and (in quotes) “frozen,” so to speak, its ordinary motion and the rhythm of its changes therefore unrecognized. (Long pause at 11 PM.)

It builds up from feelings that are by their nature denied clear expression through the specific but therefore limiting alphabet systems. (Pause at 11:06.) It allows the perceiver to face experience much more closely, and once having done this to some extent he is free in other areas also. 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.
