Communicating in a Different Way

Imagine communication made through circles of light as if they are words spoken between two people and understood well; or lines that form in the air; different ways of communication should be listed down. Could a piece of paper with images on them move without the aid of animation techniques or speak without the use of recording technology? Could standard symbols change and become encrypted without a technological device using only thought?

Think about a culture that communicates through abstract images on a wall, with colors, forms, and random symbols. Such a society communicates on a different level. Infinite randomness of colors and shapes has a symbolic meaning as letters, and pictorial ideograms have in our world. Imagine randomness that never repeats itself as visual communication. The question should be asked; how is it possible for a human being to see a shape that they have never experienced yet know what is being said? The people of this particular mythical culture had what is called an extra memory; yes, one could say books, recorded images, voices, and sounds, can help them remember what is being seen or said. This extra memory is a device not designed or built by humans. These are machines that are non-material; there is no substance, no metal, plastic, none of materials from the earth, or anything concocted from molecules. These devices are developed using the mind or the manner of living things. Devices are born. The extra memory devices are invisible and they follow the individual around. If other people sometimes observe them, they appear to be a cross between a jellyfish and a mechanical thing. This means that the random, almost abstract images are a written language, the items themselves are alive, and the sender uses telepathy. The receiver understands what is being communicated. When the images appear, the receiver can use photos the sender conveys. Although the pictures the sender sees are random lines or things that don’t make sense, the receiver will still see pictures as if they are from a film or photograph. In mind, the receiver only has a key for the sender’s words.

One other form of communication is through a dream, dreams of when a person is awake and asleep; these are dreams controlled by a sender. Information or whatever is needed is sent to the person when they are sleeping. Is this possible? Yes. But in this mythical world, there are broadcast towers that send out dreams to people during the day and night. Dreams can be all kinds of things but mainly symbolism, metaphor, or something quite illogical. The receiver understands what they are dreaming through a guide; the guide explains that an organic-looking device that also seems to be composed of light will appear to them; this device is used by the guide to help the dreamer understand the dream. The device sometimes frightens the dreamer, but the guide reassures them never to be alarmed when the device appears in front of them.

During periods of the storm in a mythical world a vortex starts to appear, tunnels of light, these are forms of communication that the authorities send out when all forms of receiving and sending are blocked, these also include telepathy. In the mythical world, even conventional communications such as radio waves, light or sound are blocked as well. No one has been able to discover where the storms come from. There were flying objects in the mythical world that had been seen by observers for centuries, some scholars believed that they were natural life forms, they seemed to travel around the atmosphere like creatures of the sea. They have been considered living things and classed as animals by some scholars. There had been great debates about this among the scholars for years. Were they living creature or not? But it was later proven that they were living things. These creatures were animal forms, there are many other animal forms that hadn’t been classified yet. There was a creature that traveled like an eddy through the sky that signified to the mythical people a coming of a volcanic eruption and earthquake.

How do children learn to read and write in this mythical world? The cultural symbols seem so random. They learn in the conventional way of the ancients. A high level of conventional writing is learned by the third and fourth grade, then more intense learning of the random symbolism and telepathy is learned, full maturity is reached at the age of sixteen and seventeen. It’s true that these children are naturally telepathic.
