One can point another to the moon, but to see it, they will first have to create it within themselves. Everything we 'see', is first created within our own mind.
Words are rather blunt tools for communication, limited by the precision of language and the scope of experience under which that language evolved.
Yet, string enough word together into a good story, and a sort of alchemy can result as something new and unexpected can precipitate in the mind of the reader out of ingredients that are not present in the words themselves. Perhaps those ingredients were in the reader all along. Rather amazing the power of a good story.
"Therefore, Mahamati, let son or daughter of a good family take good heed not to get attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning, because the truth is not of the letter. Be not like the one who looks at the finger-tip. For instance, Mahāmati, when a man with his finger-tip points at something to somebody, the finger-tip may be taken wrongly for the thing pointed at; in like manner, Mahāmati, the people belonging to the class of the ignorant and simple-minded, like those of a childish group, are unable even unto their death to abandon the idea that in the finger-tip of words there is the meaning itself, and will not grasp ultimate reality because of their intent clinging to words which are no more than the finger-tip to them."
- The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra
