How is it then possible for the human mind, even the most brilliant, to hold and understand the Uncontainable?

To your first question (I understand what you're saying), yes, because "ocean" is relative, an arbitrary label we give to a body of water of a certain size. So to an amoeba, a teacup would be an ocean.
I believe that, maybe, the mind can act as a tuning device to an Intelligence higher than our own. The WWW must hold a very high portion of all human knowledge. Now, obviously, I don't contain in my brain all that knowledge. But I can access it, and take what I need from it, because I can use a search engine.
Really, though, I don't know. The only thing I believe with any certainty about Ultimate Reality is that it's beyond all our ideas, beliefs, and guesswork.

One cup full at a time.
If the human mind cannot, then your question undermines itself (by referring to just that). Besides, one can have experiences that cannot be contained within language. The problem is that none of these experiences necessarily suggest a deity.

Man is vastly lower in intellect than the Angels and even the highest of these Angels will never fathom the mind or the mystery of God.

Maybe it is just me, but why is inability to understand something a justification for believing the absurd? If anything one should be even more skeptical when one is lacking in understanding, not less.

The human mind is like the furthest reaches of space, it is ever expanding.

What exactly is uncontainable?
If you say God is; then why do Christians claim to know exactly what he wants when he is incomprehensible?
