 15 years or so ago I decided that The Truth can never be written or spoken, at best it can be pointed to. Before deciding this, I decided that I would only hold onto a belief if it continued to serve me. I continue hold onto both beliefs. 

What I've learned from the Essenes is that the more words used, the further from pointing to the truth you become. They tended to use simple metaphors & stories to record their Truth.

The Truth is Love. When you reduce all Truth to it's essence, all you have is Love.

You cannot think your way to Truth, you have to feel your way there.
