I don't see why the trees analogy would be a valid one? Different types of trees can co-exist. I don't see how blatantly contradictory, mutually exclusive experiences could, if they are all are held to be true at the same time.

Perhaps another bad analogy, I agree. But I think we cling to our own truth, so to speak as if it is the only possible truth. That's what makes this contradictory to begin with. I usually use the analogy of the blind men and the elephant story. This is a better analogy. I like to try and follow this when we are groping after something many have felt but have never seen.

Blessings
