Most people don't see the symbolic meaning, they see the physical event as the only reality. The inner meaning, however, is far more important to consciousness. The Play is intricately woven. Every stitch is rich with meaning. Every event, all synchronicities, every detail was specifically designed and chosen to convey information.
Nothing is wasted.
This meaning is always there for anyone with the eyes to see and interpret. No, we're not talking about physical eyes. Each person will see exactly that which their level of consciousness permits them to see and they'll only understand that which they need to know. By our definition of Freedom as the ability to access and act upon information, we're no more free in our consciousness than we are in our country. This principle of consciousness, hence of spirit, is the same that our government executes in the physical world.
