The temptation to share your own direct experience of God with other people might be well-intended but almost always substitutes one's own natural enthusiasm and imagination and even artistic expressions for the light that comes from God alone. The mere fact that you might be validated in your experience in any number of ways is anything but permission to begin to pass this on to others in any sort of intentional and measured manner. No one teaches infused contemplation except God, which is invariably dependent upon our own vulnerabilities and passivities. Likely the best that you could undoubtedly do is to write or say something that might serve as an occasion for someone else to be awakened to the events that they may have already experienced which suggest that God could be asking something of them as well.
