"If the Infinite can be symbolized as an elephant, maybe our problem is not that we “feel” just one part of the elephant...Instead, maybe the problem is that we see a whole elephant, but we imagine nothing more than the elephant we know. If I conceptualize the Infinite as a bearded man in a white robe, and another person conceptualizes the Infinite as emptiness or as enlightenment, we might have difficulty understanding each other.... Our challenge, then, is to imagine what others imagine, to feel what others feel, and to see what others see."
