communication requires symbols

SYM'BOL, noun [Latin symbolum; Gr. with, and to throw; to compare.] - "the sign or representation of any moral thing by the images or properties of natural things". That means "in the name of" reality. It's an added layer on real communication, which is based on inspiration from consequences of actions set into motion communicating to our senses.

What does one need to compare anything? Segregation of differences to allow inspiration to be communicated to our senses. What is reality? Energy aka potentiality aka information. What does energy create? Motion aka the loss of potentiality. What does motion create within itself? Momentum, which is balance within motion, which requires ALL potentiality to self segregate into individual ONE potential. For what purpose? To recharge potentiality by unification of individual potential.

Energy creates motion; motion creates energy; bot together represent self sustenance of information. And so how does ALL information communicate with the segregated potential within itself? Motion establishing inspiration by the consequences of everything set into motion.

Go outside; stand still and perceive (input of information) and rather quickly comprehend (processing of information) how you need to act (output of information through you) to sustain your needs. How does thirst; hunger and lack of shelter communicate themselves to you? Why is it that the most fundamental things you need to sustain yourself with, communicate themselves to you without language?

what would replace words?

Notice that your first instinct is based on assumed loss. The use of language represents a corruption of communication, and your first reaction is to not wanting to lose language. That is the problem; our wants and the belief based idols this temptation of selfishness creates.

ONE can speak about ALL; ONE has no right to claim ownership about what ALL means, while being ONE part of ALL. You are by definition a limited potential within an unlimited potentiality.

When we ignore reality by consenting to the definition of words; brands; idols offered by others (nature doesn't use words) and then act upon our fictitious beliefs, while proclaiming (claiming ownership over) what we believe reality means, then we offer an idol to all others who then will to consent to either believe or not believe in it, which creates a conflict between believers vs non-believers.

That conflict is based on fiction; all conflicts are based on fiction. To believe means to ignore reality in favor for a conflict between believers and non-believers, and that's why the a parasites offering us all the -isms.

This isn't about replacing anything (impossible within the coexistence of all as energy); it's about ONE gaining self discernment as being ONE within ALL, and then take responsibility over what having a free will of choice aka a sole authority over self really means for every ONE else?
