They reflect particular finite human experiences of the infinite or reflections on that experience and they give us the rudiments of a language (composed of images and words) for talking about our experience. They are therefore useful and meaningful even though they cannot fully capture or define that of which we speak. They point to what seems particularly important for us about the infinite—the substrate by which the finite exists.
