I think you did a masterful job.

Alas, our perceptions, vocabulary and conceptual skills are rather intensely and closely married to

the dimensions etc. which we are familiar with and beyond which we have no tangible experience and scant capacity to construe even in gifted imaginations.

Thank you. There is a scripture (can't remember the chap/verse) which encourages us to compare the spiritual (unseen) with the natural (things seen which we are familiar with) to get our understanding. A great way to expand our conceptual thinking.

It's addictive. The problem is that you end up seeing the whole picture but have trouble paying attention to details. I think that's why I can't balance my checkbook. :)
