Language is flawed, and it prevents us from directly touching the divine. To share anything, we first feel it (thought, emotion, sensation), then force it into code: language. We send those words out and hope they survive noise, bias, and all the filters between two minds. The listener then decodes them back into their own inner world, shaped by their history, wounds, and expectations. Which means we can never communicate something exactly as it is. Everything we know (scientific, spiritual, personal) is filtered through the limits of our perception. Even the clearest teachings are only models of truth, not truth itself. The only real path is to step back and feel the thing beneath the words. The living, immediate sense of experience. The patterns. The connection. Because no matter how perfect a text or theory may seem, we are the ones interpreting it, and that makes it human, messy, and imperfect by nature.
