Agreed. I am fond of metaphors for that particular reason.

Mildly sarcastic. Humour is the spice of life. Self-irony even more so!
Quote:How then, do you propose we communicate in 3D if not with language?
With less words. And more silence. Try this for a week, a month even, with your mate/consort/family, or simply with yourself. Try this even longer and you shall find the desire to utter words for expression will slowly fall away as the deeper mind/thought connectivity and transparency comes afloat. Then, the sound vibrations you will express will be more akin to musical tunes sung by your vocal chords, rather than words—yes, meaningless hums and intelligible melodies by linguistic standards perhaps, but oh so meaningful in truth!
But I propose nothing. Things are as they are. And I accept it as it is. I have no intention or desire to change the course of current events. I'm a watcher. I watch things flow. Change is the only constant. And time is of no consequence. I learn/teach, teach/learn regardless.
Quote:As an experienced writer, even I find it extremely challenging to get my message clearly across to the members here (not because they don't understand, rather, I don't word my thoughts clearly enough).
Exactly. Words.
Sometimes the more you put thoughts into words, the less you are able to convey your message.
Quote:So, are you saying that since you have a gift, it's okay for you to be verbose and grandiose, but not for anyone else?
Not at all. I couldn't care less about it. It appears you completely misapprehended me. Allow me to clarify. By gift/virtue I meant to say one of my greatest passions and desires (as well as one of my main purposes) is communication itself. Commune-unification. Comm-unity.
However, this language, as you read/listen, is not the only—nor the most efficient—medium of communication. That was all I was trying to express. I know (by direct empirical experience) of the possibility of psychic, mind-to-mind communication; visual, conceptual, emotional thought-concept exchange/transfer (within this 3D experience as human entities right now). And because of this I often find this language tiresome, somewhat deficient (despite its rich variety of words—kind of ironic), and yes, slightly frustrating at times, for I am incredibly aware of its limitations and how much is lost/distorted/misunderstood due to its inherent ambiguous, vague and discrepant nature.
Nevertheless, I also understand that most people rely and depend (and relish) heavily on this verbal language because they either: (1) have not made themselves aware/conceived of any other more efficacious means and/or (2) are incapable/unwilling of utilizing other modes of communication due to their heavy reliance/dependence on the word-system.
Yet I do acknowledge the rich complexity of human language(s) for I have also been an avid writer (I have studied other languages since childhood, and I would devour dictionaries on my spare time solely for the exquisite pleasure that came with increasing my vocabulary and growing in eloquence, just to give you an idea). But this is just like a masquerade, where everything is dressed in beautiful, intricate, extravagant, flamboyant, sophisticated costumes and masks. Beautiful, ravishing, delightful, yes. This is all one Grand Cosmic Drama, after all! But beneath all this elegant sophistry lies the most naked, transparent simplicity. And though I do very much enjoy masquerades every once in a while, I ultimately seek the transparency, clarity and simplicity of Infinity.
What I've learned in this short span of life (this one incarnation), is that language to me, has long outlasted its usefulness. OK, maybe that's a bit too harsh. Let's just say instead that I'm simply growing slightly tired of it (in a good way) and my need to rely on it has been rapidly and steadily diminishing.
I continue to use this vernacular to facilitate my interaction with the great majority of this planet's 3D denizens. But I do so much more sparingly and thoughtfully than before.
But let's not deviate further from the topic at hand. The topic here is faith/will.
So let me just conclude by simplifying everything I've said into one simple vibratory sound complex: Love.
