I'm constantly amazed at how I can encounter inspired wisdom and the level of resonance with it may be around a seven or eight on a scale from one to ten (ten being the highest resonance). Then later, in either meditation, contemplation or self-inquiry, the same words come to me in relationship to, or in context of, my life and they send a shock wave of light right through me. And these could be words I've heard many times before.
This just underscores for me how words, no matter how much they come from a centered knowing and are infused with insight, are only marginally useful until they are grounded into experience: they become realized, living entities that generate movement. That is when there can be no scale to measure their power or resonance because they're really not words anymore.
