Words do not signify anything but their own reality. Therefore it is important to keep changing the subject.

I disagree.
Reality is not antithetical with the Spiritual -- rather, it's the gateway to it. Words are the tools we have invented to explore Reality. It's no more necessary to continually change words to discover the Spiritual than it would be necessary to continually change shovels to find the entrance to a cavern.

Yes absolutely necessary to keep changing the subject. I find that any word used to describe the Divine is inadequate anyway. I am often frustrated by the conventional vocabulary used to describe spiritual experiences so I make up my own vocabulary or try to convey it telepathically to a few chosen people.

It is good to question everything you do, consider if it could not have been done different, better. By changing the way you think about things you might develop an impression, a more complete picture, about it that you could not have done otherwise.
The main thing is, keep moving, keep investigating, keep slowly improving yourself.

If we didn't switch up the subject it would all be "God doesn't exist!" Oh "yes God does exist" "God doesn't exist!" Oh "yes God does exist" "God doesn't exist!" Oh "yes God does exist" "God doesn't exist!" Oh "yes God does exist" "God doesn't exist!" Oh "yes God does exist"
