Perhaps I sound like one of those wild-eyed raving mystics, but I'm fine with that. In every religion I see a yearning for contact with the divine, but trying to explain it and claiming to receive dogma from it, clouds that connection, and at worst, misuses it. I don't think it's something that we can explain. I don't bother trying to explain, I just welcome it, and I get peace from that.
Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the philosophers I studied in college and trust me, I am nowhere close to understanding the entirety of his thoughts, but there are a few thoughts of his, which are found in his most celebrated book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, that speak to me loud and clear:
"There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. They are what is mystical."
"What we cannot speak about, we must forever pass over in silence."

Thinking too much, trying to explain, takes away from the feel
and it's this feel that brings me peace also.
I trust the feel, it is my faith
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
"There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. They are what is mystical."
"What we cannot speak about, we must forever pass over in silence."
And silence is golden.
