Welcome, Radical_New!
Many of us experience that puzzling gap between intellectual and experiential understanding. We "know" that all is one, all is a distortion of love, suffering is an illusion, etc., but nevertheless the pain and confusion are so real, immediate, and often times overwhelming.
Silence helps close that gap.
All is learned... or perhaps, unlearned, in the conscious experience of silence.
And meditation is a key tool for diving into that stillness and silence.
It has proven helpful on my own path, at least.
Big hugs!

Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, but love unexplained is clearer. - Rumi
