Maybe then, they could see that their desire to "know" something and label it, actually keeps them from experiencing the enormity of it.
Delivery is often louder than the words chosen.
Looking to define something as radical as this is what keeps man from it.
Seeking, suggests not having, that it is out of reach..as if a definition will bring it into reach, or more of a reality..
With the limitations of words and definitions in this area, humility is seemingly a prerequisite to a real experience of IS.

someone more eloquent than me might be able to "paint" a mental picture for the ones "listening" and thereby show the way to some extent..but that is just about as good as it gets..
the more we`re told, the less we know.
so is defining something a curse? maybe not that bad really. but a devil`s loop for many seekers in the ocean of semantics.
delivery is often louder than the words chosen. so true. and the less words chosen the better. knowing which "buttons to push" in the seeker`s mind to get him there without using a name or defining - is the key.
for some, enlightenment comes through poetry.
for others by "letting go" and for some through "desire".
