Dear Shattered,
You are on to something. I would encourage you to keep going. The Spirit will guide you into all the reality. Some may shrink back at having the word of God speak to them. They prefer the safety of "the interpreted Word". I spent years relying on the interpreted word. But I was in the kingdom of the blind, being led by the blind. Eventually I began to see. Even today it is dim, and faint, but I continue to struggle, and refuse to give up. God will reward those "violent" ones who struggle, Jacob-like, for the blessing.
Not everyone will see what you see. Just be patient, as God has been with you. Be merciful and God will be merciful to you. Receive those whom God has received in Christ Jesus. God will have a way. He is bigger than all of us. Remember the name of Jesus, and He will heal, restore, teach, and guide us, and set us all free.
