universal language

in class we talked about doubt and faith, compliments, and the divine madness. in the "original of laura" eric is erasing himself, his ego (I). shaman sexson said the only universal language was the language of love(?), because you get it but you don't understand it. it's not translatable and there aren't really any words to describe. i took this to mean because emotions, like love, are universal and lack "I". so eric, the narrator, seeks to speak the universal language because he is erasing his "I".
