Good one :-)

I often feel we are disadvantaged by our intellect. We place too much emphasis on words; our words, other's words. Words are just thoughts expressed, and thoughts are dead the moment they are phrased. The instant of discovery where there are no words as yet, is the only moment that holds any power.

We have the capacity to learn experientially about the nature of existence; to actually merge with that and engage it. Thinking about it or supposed knowing about it does nothing to engage the power of it.

I'd best quit before I get on a tangent :-)
