There certainly doesn’t seem to be a shortage of opinions in the world, and the most fervently held and vocalized opinions often surround spirituality and religion.
I began to have very profound spiritual experiences many years ago, and over the years, I’ve come to see clearly that the deeper I go, the more I realize how much I don’t know. These things must be experienced; we can’t read something in a book (any book) and understand what is being said without the experience.
To believe we can is like going to a restaurant with the most wondrous and diverse menu that has ever existed but having never eaten anything before but oatmeal. We sit down and study the items, and the ingredients. We discuss the menu with others and perhaps interview the chef. We even argue about it. From this, we believe we know all about the food.
Only by actually tasting the delectable treats could we possibly even begin to understand what that menu is pointing to. We can’t discover this by eating the words; the words are just pointers to the food.
When I first began having these experiences, I wanted to talk about them but quickly learned that this isn’t always wise. Many have never actually tasted the tiniest crumb on that menu yet have very strong opinions about what it says and vehemently defend these ideas.
I’ve learned to quietly live the truth that has and continues to unfold. It is the living of truth that elevates us to inexplicable heights.
The silent example of a life transformed speaks louder than any words and seeing this, others too might want to take a bite.
I so agree with You here. Thank-You💐

Very well said and what I feel too. Yes, when one is blown away on the road to Damacus it is hard to talk about or even put into words or sometimes not even wise to do so but there is wonder in living the truth.
