if we had developed a different form of communication from the beginning?
[todays communication, as in language and written word.] would we be linked somehow?  or would we have come up with some other type of communication? [i'm sure we would, but what?]

a person thinks in words, because they were taught that words are how people think and communicate. if a person were never taught (words/language), they would not think in words, right?

Words do not fully express all that we think and feel, and when communicating words to others, words are never entirely accurate. if you think about something abstract that has [no word] associated with it; it is almost impossible to express. you try to find a word that would suit it [well enough] to what you are really thinking or feeling.

This [feeling/picture] that you have is the truest form of a thought or idea.
to be able to fully express and communicate this pure thought; wouldn't that be  terrific!

But what if the thought is so pure that no feeling/picture, or what-have-you, can be formed? IE/EG: What if it's a sound? What if it's a fundamental sound? Which is about all I have to reference, note I said reference, to get close to the idea of a pure thought.

Most of these things we call 'thoughts', tend to be reflections of other thoughts, and I don't think can be called pure in any objective sense.
