The apprehension toward sharing spiritual expereinces--Truth has been lost in all these words

Somehow sometimes I get a bit apprehensive about sharing all these stories and experiences.

Gurus seem to be quiet about experiences. Some religions teach people not to focus on experiences and see it as a distraction to real spiritual depth.

Not knowing what to expect, I have the most amazing discovery along the way. Everything is so surprising.

Can it be that by sharing all these experiences, I am rubbing others' surprises?

Can it be that I might make others disappointed if they haven't had these variety of discoveries?

Everyone has their own pace and their own personal discoveries. I should not make them feel that this is what the course of awakening should unfold.

After searching inside myself really hard, I found that one of the biggest reason is that what I am sharing is not the whole truth.

By the use of language, I really cannot convey the whole picture of the truth. I am really just sharing what I am able to with language, through words and through my own intepretation.

While reading it and receiving it, others again has their own interpretation and filteration. They pick what they want to hear and what they think they are hearing.

Truth can only be expereinced. Truth cannot be spoken or receiving through language.

That's why I feel bad. All these words don't equal to truth.

The truth has been lost in all these words.
