For me the mysteries of life and the answers were hidden and I had to search for them. They weren’t written anywhere that I’ve found. It’s probably a good thing though.

And an enjoyable thing to do too (for me)It’s probably a good thing though.

I see they are not hidden and have been left for us to pursue as the written word.
The written word, in my experience, are someone else's revelation of the "mysteries of life."
There is something to be said about experiencing such revelations personally rather than simply reading about the experiences of another.
For me, written word merely validated experiences I have had. It didn't reveal to me any "mysteries."

I think the written word pales in comparison to the greater truthI see the Written Word of God as far more creative, in fact I see it is a Cause of creation, as an example;
"Shoghi Effendi, in letters written on his behalf, has explained the significance of the “letters B and E”. They constitute the word “Be”, which, he states, “means the creative Power of God Who through His command causes all things to come into being” and “the power of the Manifestation of God, His great spiritual creative force”.
The imperative “Be” in the original Arabic is the word “kun”, consisting of the two letters “káf” and “nún”. They have been translated by Shoghi Effendi in the above manner. This word has been used in the Qur’án as God’s bidding calling creation into being."
We can see how the Spoken and Written Word shapes humanity, there is a power in speach that can create, or destroy.
This needs no explanation as an observation of world events indicate what is offered in words, does shape our world.
Thus is a massive subject and I can only offer that the written Word, that is reported as coming from God, has far more power than we mere mortals can fathom.

There is no book for intuition, gut, 'from the depths of my soul' etc. Most eastern teachers, although they teach, also say, 'Don't believe me until you've discovered it for yourself' in one way or another.
Still, a manual for putting your car back together if you're a 'do it yourself' kind of guy is incredibly useful. I couldn't do it without the manual. Of course some folks figure the manual also has hands and tools, and a brain to do it for you.

The funny thing is is I don’t think the greater truth will ever be sharedI am not here to change you opinion.
I always consider, if you are going to share that greater truth, how would you tell me without words?
Living the Truth is the best way, but language has been gifted for a reason.

The great sages of Sanatana Dharma. and elsewhere never said much. They communicated without words. Silence IS a form of communication.The funny thing is is I don’t think the greater truth will ever be shared

Yeah but is what they’re being silent about the truth?The great sages of Sanatana Dharma. and elsewhere never said much. They communicated without words. Silence IS a form of communication.
Good point. Some folks are silent as a gimmick, or because of ignorance. I don't know. You can't ask much of a sage who won't speak. I don't have the truth, That's for sure.Yeah but is what they’re being silent about the truth?

Actions speak louder than words, as they say. There is a ton of non-verbal communication in humanity. Eye contact, body language, touch, smiles. Words tend to get n the way of much of that.
pretty much done searchinThat is fine, you can think that without predudice from me. I wish you well and happy in your search for what that truth may be.
