My thought is that if one had the experience "of union with the invisible God", one probably couldn't talk about it (how would words describe even an orgasm); and if one didn't have the experience, how could any attempt to think about another's description mean much? Makes me think of the fly trying to eat/taste the apple on the TV screen. Ain't gonna happen. Is it possible that the process of delicious thinking and searching, and all they entails, can be made an orgasm in itself? Did Bertrand Russell or Picasso or any highly creative, driven person miss the search for a religious belief system? I haven't read enough to know. Amen.
