'From the earliest days of history, men and women have sought a language that would be both universal and give an overall picture, a language capable of expressing the richest and most complex realities while, at the same time, reducing them to the barest essentials. It is this research that led to the discovery of figures and symbols. Everyone can make this discovery for themselves if they meditate for long enough.
If you meditate for a very long time on any given subject, you will find that a symbolic image will begin to take shape in your subconscious or your higher consciousness. This image is of an object or a geometrical figure that corresponds in every respect to the idea, thought or truth that you have been concentrating on. And this, incidently, also explains our dreams.
A part of every person’s being is in constant touch with the whole cosmos: we all live and vibrate in unison with the cosmic Soul, the universal Soul. We are all, therefore, in contact with the world of archetypes, principles and laws, and if we meditate on certain truths that exist on a far higher plane, on the causal plane, something in the depths of our being stirs into life and a symbolic image appears in our mind’s eye. The answer to a question that has been worrying you can also appear in the form of a symbol, which you will need to interpret.
In order to understand how this can occur, we must remember that human beings are built in such a way as to reflect the whole universe. Everything that exists in heaven, in hell or on this earth is reflected in the human being. Therefore, when initiates begin to meditate on a given subject, a process of distillation and crystallization along certain lines of force is set in motion within them. This produces on the screen of their subconscious or superconscious mind the image of a symbol that is a condensation, an abstract of their meditation. It is nature that provides them with the answer. If it were left to them to find the exact correspondence, they would not be able to do so, for reality is far too vast and too diverse!
Only nature can provide the answer: for nature it is automatic, a mathematical evidence. Yes, it is nature itself that sorts, distils and condenses your meditation and then shows you the essence of it in the form of a symbol, as if to say, ‘Here is the subject of your meditation, your thought, feeling or inspiration. It is all summed up and expressed in this image.’
It is important to acquire a deeper knowledge of the language of symbols, for as it reveals the connections and correspondences between different things, it reveals also the underlying unity of life. For life has this very special characteristic: everything in it is ordered and put together to perfection; each part is in its own special place and functioning in coordination with all the other parts.'
