It does not explicate something in order to hide it or because it cannot be explained in words?

Here’s an example. I believe that there is a meaning in Orthodox icons that cannot be expressed in any other way but through the icons. If one asks, I basically wave my hands in the air or pile up words that means something for me, but mean nothing for the questioner. But, I would like to explain. Likewise, the iconographers try their hardest to explain, this is why they try to write truer icons. Their meaning is inaccessible to very many, but it is not a hidden meaning.

Annalex, there is simply no need in our continuing to argue back and forth about this. You simply don't accept the existence of legitimate esoteric teachings.

I'm not the one who made all this up. Find a chakham with whom to argue about it.
