However, it is possible that the "logic" of one state of consciousness may not be able to evaluate the logic of another. Skip Alexiander used to make an analogy between enlightenment and Piaget's stages of development. You can *explain* that tall, thin glasses and short, fat cylinders cups hold the same amount of water all day long to a very young child and they won't accept it as making sense, even when you show them.
