“Our actual lives are lived entirely on the objective levels, including the un-speakable ‘feelings’, ‘emotions’. , the verbal levels being only auxiliary, and effective only if they are translated back into first order un-speakable effects, such as an object, an action, a ‘feeling’. , all on the silent and un-speakable objective levels.” (Science and Sanity, p.35)
