Back into the well Doctor Frog?

Even the most highly educated frog sits at the bottom of the well and makes their speculations about what might be beyond the Well. Looking up from the Dark and Damp well bottom, Doctor frog sees a glow of circular light emanating from the top of the well. He sees this light fluctuate, turn on and off throughout the day and is always guessing and speculating about what it might be. Doctor frog's speculations begin to gain ground and become widely accepted theories as their reputation grows.

One day Explorer frog begins the journey to discover the truth about the light and starts making his way up to the top of the well. As he nears the top the Circular light begins to widen and become more apparent in it’s true form. The light ultimately reveals another World that Explorer frog begins to explore and as he finally emerges from the well and looks around, It turns out that the circular speck of light is actually an entire PLANE of existence.

With the new revelation Explorer frog returns to the well and explains to everyone about the PLANEt he just discovered and how it is far more rich and vast then what can be perceived. This crazy news is immediately rejected by Doctor Frog as he leads his pack of followers intent on proving that circular lights in the sky are nothing more then that.

I've never heard this parable before, but I love it! One can find truth much more readily by venturing forth into the unknown rather than sitting on the sidelines and thinking about it. I'm going to remember this one

That's a really sweet comment. Thanks. I hoped to open some perspectives. The Veda sometimes describes the Earth as flat and in other places it appears to be round. So there is much room for consideration.
