Language, as the only glue, that will for ever keep us together?

Nope... Interaction, communication are so much wider that language. And besides, there are a multitude mental and material reasons which keep us together. Language is just one of the many tools.

I think it would be cool to transcend language, so it's only use would be for our amusement.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I think music is a far more important bridge between cultures.

Interesting!  
Communication, not being language, is? ...
Is not the human body, considerably; being a tool?
Please, elaborate?

Wow, there are so many things that keeps us together. First this planet. We interact with each other almost involuntary, because we share the same territory (at a bigger or smaller scale). Then it's how we work, it's what we eventually end up doing, because of our most primary up to the most elaborate needs and feelings. Without human interaction we would crumble. There are so many other methods of communication besides language, and some of have a much more deeper impact on our mind than words. Think of music, images, body language. The methods of communication are infinite if we use a little imagination and there's always room for improving. I think that we use more primitive methods of communication when our desire to interact is rudimentary, more unconscious, and the more we develop our psyche, we become more and more aware of this need and then it turns into Will. It's the Will that makes us be creative in handling these tools.

language is extremely important, it gives us the ability to convey emotions and beliefs that we cannot show physically. it allows us much more depth for understanding and human contact, and it's a vital tool for learning.
however, compassion and the gift of giving can send much broader emotions that i feel that simple language cannot touch. when you show love for another human being and you show it, they feel it and they touch back. it's a beautiful things, human interaction i mean.

i think the human mind does because it never stops evolving, also without it there would be no such thing as a language or emotions, thats only my opinion lol

Has anybody noticed that communication and human interaction becomes richer although fewer words are used while tripping?? Might just be me. I feel that communication is happening on multiple levels and you can advance your awareness to surf the leading edge of these resulting interference ripples. It feels like you're communicating telepathically, or at least most efficiently, as in using only most weighty words with minimal voicing while instantly eliminating all other possible meanings... Somehow. The glue is deeper than the language. Words are just containers for metaphysical finger paint. Pictures are pretty.
Do you hold images in your mind that correspond to what you are talking about in real time?? I feel that I will see what you mean in the future.
