Paper and watercolors are a good metaphor for the Self. For example, I take clean white sheet of paper and paint a picture. Then I paint another one, and another.
All three pictures are nothing but paint. I have created name and form with the lines and colors. Yet each picture is just paint.
The essence of all the pictures, the blank page, is a metaphor for unlimited awareness, the Self.
The pictures are all mythia, paint creating name and form.
The paper is not dependent on the paint, name or form, but the picture is totally dependent on the paper.

I like this metaphor as it makes the 'situation' clear in a simple way.
