Words vs. Music as expression of Divine

All major religions incorporated a higher, inner language of words that embodied their sacredness: Latin, Hebrew, Vedic, Quranic, Pali and so forth. While these maintained the connectedness of each to its ineffable mystery, they also served to alienate each from all others. But, before any of these existed, shamans had a sacred language. It was of drumming, vocal sounds and dance. And that sacred language does not alienate because it may be understood by anyone.
