Exactly! So often we mistake the map for the territory, which is why I carefully titled this blog POETIC INTERCONNECTIONS. Descriptions of reality are always interpretations, and thus, in a sense, artistic creations. As such, they fall prey to the same idealism and idolatry as misunderstood art. “What measure is not a metaphor?” Exactly!

i’m not a student of kabbalah but when i read in your posts seems to indicate a characteristic related to the quality of these attributes [tree of life] … each instance at [in or on? - i don't know how to use prepositions of space in a process that does not require that] tree of life is is a latent power (or potential state – Leibniz?) that seems to say that is the upper limit of the metaphor… work in math with the minus infinite and plus infinite … who studies kabbalah seems to study the characteristics of the infinite and measure them with metaphors…

is rather late and i’m just thinking too much
