<x-flowed>> > Dance is a different means of communication from our standard > > verbal form, relaying higher-order emotions and feelings, > >(i) How is verbal communication "standard"? What I meant when I wrote the comment you are referring to is that the majority of all idea exchange in "Joe Blow's" life occurs in verbal interaction. Yes, much non-verbal activity takes place when two people are talking, but it is different from the non-verbal activity of dance. >(ii) How is dance "higher-order"? What is a "higher-order feeling"? How I define higher-order is something beyond who we are in the moment. Yes, it is touchy thing to make comments regarding the metaphysical in such an environment as this, because clear, concrete, all-encompassing definitions are impossible when you are relaying thoughts on the non-tangible. If it were possible, people would have stopped their attempts to define G-d, love, faith, and many other things long ago.
