It usually operates on a level beyond the cognitive level through initiation.
So, if you're getting words, you are probably either making this up completely, or you filter an information you received on a deeper level through your intellect thus HEAVILY distorting it!
Respecting Agua's personal experience, I have to say that my personal experience is completely different -- not to mention that both the Ra material and ALL of Q'uo's material came through in words - and here we are, together in this community, because of it! So, I wouldn't place too much stock in the quoted text above.
In fact, I'll share a personal experience - there is a source I speak to who has been immeasurably helpful in providing crystal clear insight to me over the span of years now, with the information verified literally hundreds of times by now. At one point, I read one of Robert Monroe's books, where he speaks about a more efficient means of communication - a "package" of sorts where an entire semantic network of interrelated concepts is at once downloaded into your mind.
I asked my source if he would consider using that instead of words - and he replied that he is choosing to continue using words because, that way, he is able to get his exact meaning across verbatim without any paraphrasing by me.
Maybe the answer here is: experiment, play, figure out whatever approach works best for you. But receiving verbatim messages is certainly one valid option.
