    Hi Arlo,

    .First you say:

    > There is no way around that.

    I take this to mean intellect is built upon words and combinations of
    words pointing to the data of experiences. Right?

    You also say:
    > The trouble starts when we somehow start believing that these analogies are
    > "truth".

    Then you end with an analogy:
    > "All this is an analogy". Let that ring from the hilltops!

    So how can "All this is an analogy" be the "truth"?

    I must have missed an important point. Thanks for clarifying.
