A symbol interacts with deep inside us just as music does with our minds. Symbols are how we look at ourselves in the world. We should not be afraid to think that objects and other things around us have an importance we don't understand. We do this every moment without realizing it. We realize that words help us to understand and to think.
Visual symbols are as important as words.
Both words and symbols point out the thought of our lives. Our immediate perception of something happening in time makes us think that its existence is physical. Most of what all that occurs to us is mental -either our feelings before or our ideas after. We use words to help us think with time. We use symbols to help us think beyond time.
