Question:

How can you describe something that is...?

How can you describe something that is supposedly above and beyond the universe by using terms and concepts that adhere to and exist within the universe?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You can't. By describing something, you're trying to bring it down to the mental plane. True reality lies above the mental plane. The best you can hope for is to experience the true reality and then attempt to impart some understanding of the experience, falling short of the experience ITSELF. But, by describing it, you might inspire others to want the experience for themselves. The description is NOT the experience, but simply leading the way for others to find the experience.
