We can never understand our Symbols until we divide them, just as we divide the meaning of life and death, morning and night, the Creative force and the Destructive force. They are all one in the same, just separate halves. We live in a dualistic world, one day we are born and soon we die. Life and death are one complete cycle. Spring comes and brings the flowers, while fall comes and takes them away.
Fire destroys the forest, and rain brings the forest back to life.
Every thing gets balanced. So Symbols need to be understood. Symbols are as real as the sun. You just have to know how to balance them. Heaven is a medieval English word, it means Balance, which brings Harmony, or synchronicity.
