the Word


tonight dogma unravelled for me a little . . .

Word
is Language
is all of human knowledge
is Wisdom
is truth as we conceive it.

not Truth as it is but truth as we conceive it
revealed to us . . .
but only through language:
the Word.

Truth as it really is cannot be conceived.

"the Word through whom you made all things"
the knowledge by which we conceive the truth?
the gift of language? 

"In the beginning was the Word"
but
In the beginning is what is.
inconceivable
"I am who I am."

Only revealed to us through the Word  . . . . .

but not "the Word by which" 
but "the Word through whom" 
and so:
"the knowledge by which we conceive the truth"
would read
"the knowledge in whom we conceive the truth"

a person

you

truth can never be conceived
but, in relationship with it
(which means with you)
we grow.
