I checked back to your original post and you did indeed have the words "perhaps ... just perhaps" directly before the sentences that I quoted. You covered yourself well.
As for words ... any words ... belonging "to the intellectual", how do you propose avoiding the intellectual in posts on a forum such as this?
There have been more than a few occasions when I have had extraordinary communications ... without words ... such as for 3 hours with a Taoist Master in Chengdu China, another 3 hours with a sage at the Khumba Mela in India, and so on for lesser continuous times with others. It would seem the Zen koans at least attempt to take one beyond the intellectual on a forum such as this, and that is precisely why I started a thread on the Crazy Wisdom of the Zen Koans on this site in the Buddhist section.
