I actually did find the concept of infinite potential/ universal energy etc, through the reading of books, particularly those concerning physics and mathematics. I can give you a list, but you can find many of them in any good book store or library.
The concept is realised through the study of books, but the concept is not contained in the books, or limited by the information in the books.
After a study of the concept comes the intellectual understanding of the concept, then the experience of the concept beyond the intellectual understanding.
