192. What if we allow ourselves only to have those inner experiences for which we can find approximate expression in WORDS and CONCEPTS? Under such strict terms and conditions is it likely that the mind will be humbled—let alone, SHAMED—into silent submission to the transcendent? Isn’t it far more likely that such constraints are put in place by the mind precisely so that it can more fully display the impressive range and subtlety of its powers? Isn’t much the same thing going on—albeit it on a more modest scale—when a poet restricts himself to the sonnet form, a composer to the fugue form, a painter to the watercolor medium, a chef to four or five commonly available ingredients?
