Too much distance
Too-many-metaphors, while entertaining, introduces too much distance between the thing and the thing said about the thing.

First of all, authority in so-called spiritual matters is really nonspiritual. I think that must be clear and must be understood deeply. There is no authority in man's endeavor to find out if there is that ultimate truth. The authority of a priest, of all the religions, is based on hearsay, on propaganda, on conditioning the mind to believe in certain saviors, masters, and so on. Because one has to be light to oneself and you cannot possibly light your light from another.
