Figurative Japanese

Well I wasn't merely aiming for "deep" but rather a phrase or term of some sort indicating a deep thought or profound concept.

海のように深い愛情

From what I understood, in this simile "deep" affection is compared to the ocean. In this case I would assume that deep does not indicate depth as a measurement, but more of a figurative decription of extreme affection.

Hence I'm deducing that there may be a Japanese term relating to "deep thoughts" that can be used in a similar manner.
Sorta like saying "That man's thoughts are as deep as an ocean"
 
In the first place, you need to grasp the difference between 深い愛情 and 深い意味/考え In Japanese.

As you cane see, 深い愛情 is literally from the "depth", as in 心の底から/奥深くから or "deep in the mind". We rarely ever say, for instance, 海のように深い印象 even in the same definition as it. 海のように深い(=十分めぐらされた)考え either doesn't make sense at all, I'm afraid.
