"Forgetting who I was for the first time in my life, just a scared little creature with a featureless body, all I could do was feel and see. That is when you know how infinite the universe is, when you have no reference point (cognition). Nothing to compare any thing to. Just a bunch of sensory data experienced by an Infant." - excerpt from a letter by a TOOL fan

compare to
"think for yourself, question authority" = square the circle
"omniscient omnipotent omnipresent without judgment"
"passionate spirit uncompromised boundless and open"
