The metaphors make some sense to me. I believe what we 'vessels' consciously perceive is very limited by our receptors and very filtered mainly through our conditioning that taught us what to see and think, told us what is true and not true, taught us what is reality and what it is not. We to a great extent see our prejudices, expectations, and thinking, and not what is. We navigate through and in Source based on our limited and filtered data, which is a small amount of all that is. My learning from Hinduism and Buddhism has been a big help in becoming aware of how I misperceive data and live in maya or illusions and appearances, and helps me to somewhat regain an innocent state of wonder and appreciation not tethered to utility or survival.
