What is the point of the lake analogy used to explain Transcendentalism?

• Even though you can't see the edges of the lake, it's still there even though you can't imagine it. Use your imagination.

• The bottom of the lake symbolizes the limited reach of the mind's imagination.

• Even though you can't physically touch the bottom of the lake, it's still there and your mind can't imagine it. Transcend your body's limits and just be.

• The lake symbolizes the universe.
