8 - Symbol"All things are symbols"The base element of sensual perception and communication, symbols are place-holders for things and experiences, but not the experience itself. They are misleading if Chinese walls of rigid concepts and world-views separate them; ultimately all symbols merge and direct understanding is gained through direct perception, communion. Saturn/Mercury: Rigid communication, deep communion. Theme for contemplation: Find a non-symbol. Affirmation: "I understand everything - my own way" Hint: As we translate language we also translate words into meanings. Indirect communication is based on agreement how that meaning is to be used. Direct communication and direct perception do not require agreement. Think about it! |
