You have experienced something so profound and supernatural that you can’t yet explain it. Not only can you not explain it, but those within your orbit have difficulty or are unable to explain it themselves. I would also guess that only individuals that have experienced this kind of connection are the ones that understand it, or are at least attempting to understand it.

There is a contradiction in the requoted text which hinders, even stops progress. I am only going to make a counter statement. Those who have understood the experience can describe it, explain it, and understand the conditions that lead to it AND can 'instruct' others how they can achieve the same.

IOW there is no mystery surrounding it. All is known, for centuries if not millennia. The process is understood, practiced in places all over the world and the nature of the result is known. Those who say otherwise practice an elitism for whatever reason they may have.
If you do not get a precise, complete and entirely satisfactory answer from the people around you then you are moving in the wrong circles.

Like Dogen said "There is nothing hidden in this world."
