(In) the imagination anything goes that can be imagined, and the limit of the imagination
is a totally human world. Here we recapture , in full consciousness, that original lost sense
of identity with our surroundings, where there is nothing outside the mind of man, or
something identical with the mind of man. Religions present us with visions of eternal and
infinite heavens or paradises which have the form of the cities and gardens of human
civilization, like the Jerusalem and Eden of the Bible, completely separated from the state
of frustration and misery that bulks so large in ordinary life. (Frye, The Educated Imagination)
