There are no answers specifically. Just Be.
That's neat. I disagree about probing and arguing, since I think we can get *some* more knowledge that way, and if nothing else, learn something about the person we're talking to (for example, I know a lot more about TomofSweden than I did before entering into dialogue with him on religion). But I also agree that we can't know everything and that it's a Mystery.
I also think we all have a different key to reality that we alone can use, and that won't work for anyone else.

In other words, what it is to me will not work for anyone else. Good luck in finding yourself
