I don’t subscribe to perennialism according to which all spiritual tradition say the same thing. At the same time there are things that are common over multiple traditions.
As far as written descriptions go, a written description of the nature of the color red doesn’t give a blind person a real idea of what red looks like even when it’s written in braille.
I don’t think that any decent spiritual tradition works simply through reading descriptions. Most have a least some instance of teaching via questions & answers.
