"The mind is like an umbrella."
Metaphor in Context
When we get rid of all the clutter in the mind, the illusions, delusions we've lived with so long, it makes room for new concepts, different ways of looking at ourselves and the world around us. The mind is like an umbrella. It only functions well when it is open. (pp. 106-7)
