Language Limitations

When coming to talk or write about Enlightenment we encountering unique difficulty. The attempt to describe that state using known words would be as same as the attempt to write a scientific book using a vocabulary of a two years old child.
How would we describe a state of total unity without contradictions, without me or you, without then and after?
The verbal language is unseparately linked with time and logic. It has linear structure exactly like in the accepted time perception: division into past, present and future. Even the "present" in that perception is related to past and future from the same code system. Therefore, it can be certainly said that the language is a code system that perfectly describes that multicolored dimension, level of expression, so called physical world. That code is based on objects separation. As long as we deal with the external world almost everything can be described and explained by language, but when we deal with Enlightenment the language become impotent. That’s because the spiritual experience is out of the frontiers of time and logic and therefore out of language. In the point where the present moment merges with eternity without mediation of time, the code is not valid anymore.
Without contradiction to said above, the language (when put right) can be an effective tool for pointing towards the essence, for that we have all sorts of metaphors and parables.
