Is there any point in trying to put spiritual experiences and insights into words?

3 posts in this topic

Sometimes Ill have a spiritual experience, and my first impulse is to put it into words. I guess because my way to deal with the world has always been to conceptualize it. But lately ive been wondering, is there any point to this? Maybe its actually harmful? Since true spiritual exprriences are experiential, it seems like trying too hard to conceptualize it could be counterproductive since it in a way putting it into words is distancing it from the realm of pure experience. Can you actually gain a deeper understanding of spirituality by conceptualizing it, or are you doing yourself a disservice by not simply experiencing it?

There’s also music, painting, jogging, seeing a friend, taking a nice bath, eating chicken noodle soup… idk, sounds paradoxical I’m saying just to live your life. Kinda like chop wood, carry fire 

Lucid dreaming is also fun, thanks for the reminder ;)

@sleep Its good to share, ask questions and such, just don't rely on it as some sort of authority. Truth is within You, find a way to access that Truth and then Life opens up and your on your way, looking outside of Yourself for answers is not the way to Truth...
