Please support your premise ' it is impossible to think beyond your vocabulary' with evidence and reasoned argument. Because as it is, I do not accept your premise.

As far as I can tell, your syllogism, as it is currently stated, is both invalid and unsound.

It looks pretty much like a classic example of 'argument from ignorance fallacy'.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
