Metaphysics, spirit, esorteric, all mysteries?

There is a material and there is the metaphysical. Both somewhat mysteries in it's nature and understanding. If one has experienced in one of these mysteries then trying to explaining it to one who hasn't will feel totally disgusted and alone. Being born and raised materially I had no clue about any of the words until I experienced them personally. In relating the experience, I had to use words that hopefully related to the experience. And that took on the mystery of explaining the experience to others.

I am beginning to regret sharing my experience with others because of the words I used would bring some light to the mystery of what happened to me. Using paraphrased words didn't help either. I see and feel but with the five senses and I had a sixth (spiritual) experience that clashes with any material sense and action plus experience outside of the material realm. In paraphrasing I got even deeper in trying to explain what I felt. I love the English language but have learned that language in itself can sometimes be cumbersome in using.

In trying to explaining in words that I thought would help others understand better, I went overboard in using the words wrote as the subject above. The more I try to explain my experience using words that are ambiguous, the more confusing my explaining got, I feel I have again gone overboard trying to understand theosophy. I say apples and it is interpreted oranges. I am out of my league here. Thank you for your patience's with me. I am backing off for now in hopes at a later date I can again study theosophy in a deeper way. Paul

Paul,

Perhaps your path was not honest enough. Perhaps you are a totally different posting discussions than you are when writing an e-mail. Things are only as difficult as you make them. Somethings have to be done without explanation and that is how life is. Things may be more important than they appear in the mirror. Not, objects are closer in the mirror than they appear..

I don't want to you step away from the site when you are most needed, Paul!!! You have a friend in me and I see you have a boost of self confidence now more than ever.

Key is to not give up, but open up. Stay with me here and not focuses on what words mean, what you mean and what your purpose is in a world wide view is more important than any word interpretation.

You are my brother, I could never let or leave you down, Paul. There is a greater purpose for us all, and there is nothing better than finding it all together.
