540. With the inhabitants of Jupiter, almost all their speech is an inward mental image, or what we call a mentally materialized or imaged idea. It is not so much sensory or outer mental images, formed into words, that constitute their speech. This they have also, but in such a way that it supports the inward speech, and in certain cases, objects are expressed by it that are of use to their life.
