DISCUSSION :"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." - Ludwig Wittgenstein :"If a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up." - Tom Lehrer :"What cannot be spoken in words, but that whereby words are spoken." - Kenopanishad :"We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all." - Douglas Adams in ''DGHDA'' In Zen it is often said that (by analogy) the finger can point to the moon but is not the moon; likewise words and actions can point towards what is ineffable but cannot make another know it. Ken Wilber describes the ineffable in '' A Brief History Of Everything '' as being akin to climbing a ladder then pulling it up after oneself. THINGS SAID TO BE INEFFABLE
