Trying To Grasp Infinity
a: Trying to grasp infinity ~
b: a fish swallowing the oceans of the world
What: "Be ready to discard whatever existing notions you may have of the nature of God. It has been said that in order to find God, one must give up God; or even to "kill" God, meaning killing one's human, finite concept of what God is. Using your finite mind to try to grasp infinity is like asking a fish to swallow the oceans of the world. You're bound to find something you aren't 100 percent ready for. If you don't, you're not being honest with yourself in your search."

a: Energy conservation ~
b: Hank Aaron
What: "Conservation (of energy) is like Hank Aaron. Sure, steady, reliable, long- term, effective - and unexciting. In a time of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Reggie Jackson, Aaron holds the home-run record; but unlike them, he endured years of relative obscurity. It was not until he overtook Babe Ruth that most people noticed."

a: inflamed brain ~
b: drink a milkshake through a cocktail straw
What:
"Stress happens to the brain just as easily as it happens to your muscles. Your noggin is a vacuum for energy and nutrients and having an inflamed brain is like trying to drink a milkshake through a cocktail straw. The beast gets starved, which can make normal men go crazy."
