Everything is symbolic in nature
Symbolic language is the most synthetic language
'We have to learn to see the ‘bare bones’ of pure symbols.'
'It is important for us to study this question of symbols, because symbols are the language of nature, and most people are totally incapable of deciphering this language. You will perhaps tell me that you have already read books about the interpretation of dreams... All right, but personally I don’t put much faith in those books, because the interpretations they give don’t always correspond to reality; in fact they are often pure invention!
So, the images seen in dreams are a language, but the language of images is still not the absolute language of symbols. The absolute language of symbols is the language of geometrical figures. Geometrical figures are, as it were, the framework or skeleton of reality, whereas images still have a little spare flesh on them, a little skin and muscle. The forms seen in dreams still have some clothing on them.
We have to learn to see the ‘bare bones’ of pure symbols, and to do this we have to look much further and much higher, to where they are stripped of everything extraneous, to where they have been reduced to pure abstractions: geometrical figures.'
