Summary/Abstract: The problem of non-verbality, as the main element of human communication, no longer requires any demonstration today. The world of symbols in which man lives, as well as the immense world of culture, prove to us that these languages are universal, creating a unique connection of man with the living world. If scientific language proves a wisdom of the mind, surely the non-verbal world certainly discovers a wisdom of the soul,revealing in man this superb and characteristic duality.
