There are some things for which there are no words. I cannot explain to a color-blind person what red looks like, except in very vague terms (assuming they're not completely color-blind). But once you and I both know what red looks like, if neither of us is color-blind, we can discuss it. We can talk about it. We can get together and talk about different shades of red and how they affect us.
Mystical experience is supposedly ineffable - but I submit that this is only because so few people have had it. If everyone had meditated and ascended to the 4th Jhana or whatever, we could all sit around discussing what the 4th Jhana is like, and it would be completely intelligible.
Any thoughts?
