language at the base of change

Language has lately been seen as a structured form of communication, using standard and universal symbols put together in a universally known structure. But was this structure, were these symbols, always universally known? No, they were created by humans over the passage of time. The structures we know today in communication, in writing, in language, are all human inventions. There is nothing within language that is not a human invention. So why adhere so fervently to these "logical" structures, created and sustained by humans? The evolution of the world, of humans as well as nature, depend on the breaking out of these structures. The world depends on the inventions of new forms of language, of communication, amidst us and between ourselves and nature, between ourselves and our inner personality and spirit. The evolution of communication will allow the world to explore new ideas, concepts which are outside of the box that we have put ourselves into with our own structures, and will help create a better balance today. Rather than use yesterdays language for todays world in a incoherent correlation, we could create new societies with new ideas, which respect each other and the environment. The key, the base of this change, in this new way of thinking and interacting, is language and communication.
