The words themselves mean nothing, but perhaps the vibe behind the words can provide a "pointer" to an intuitive feeling about the actual experience, a finger pointing to the moon.
Given the second point of view, I would say that there is a greater likelihood of profiting from a discussion of a spiritual experience with someone who has actually had the experience than from a discussion among people who haven't. In the former case, the "vibe" might slip through underneath the words; in the latter case, there is no "vibe" to slip anywhere, only theory. Tom T: It is my experience that when one gets a group of 6 or more awake in the same room discussing how IT gets lived day to day, there is a situation in the room where those who are ready get that the knowledge of IT is presented while at the same time the experience of IT is so thick that it is palpable..With both knowledge and experience available in the room simultaneously IT becomes almost impossible to miss. Of course the vibe is real intense and when knowledge about IT is combined with the experience many can get IT. Tom T ------------------------ Yahoo!
