Life as a Spectrum of Symbols

[Plenum]

there is an episode in Bojack Horseman (I believe the start of Season 2) where Bojack is trying to change his life, and is listening to some motivational audio books.  This episode plays with fun in that it uses the theme of "Everything is a Symbol", and shows how it can be 'misapplied' if one is trying to force an Interpretation, rather than letting the Symbol speak for itself.

It's actually a really funny episode.

But that said, there is truth to that dictum.  That life is like poetry in motion, showing us the contents of our own consciousness, and reflecting our own 'axioms'.

The Seth books speak to this; especially a lot of the earlier ones.  That we are not only experiencing our own personal Poem, encoded with luscious and rich symbols; but that Society is also collectively creating itself; with it's core beliefs, and empowered trajectories.

So I think it's quite valuable to be able to decipher and decode these symbolic patterns.  Both in the dream life (retrospection), and also in the waking life.

As an example of poetical feedback, look at Ra's examination of minor physical ailments of the channeling group:

61.7 Questioner: Second question: could you give an example of how feelings affect portions of the body and the sensations of the body?

Ra: I am Ra. It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each entity of proper seniority has its own programming. Of the less aware entities we may say that the connection will often seem random as the higher self continues producing catalyst until a bias occurs. In each programmed individual the sensitivities are far more active and, as we have said, that catalyst not used fully by the mind and spirit is given to the body.

Thus you may see in this entity the numbing of the arms and the hands signifying this entity’s failure to surrender to the loss of control over the life. Thus this drama is enacted in the physical distortion complex.

In the questioner we may see the desire not to be carrying the load it carries given as physical manifestation of the soreness of those muscles for carrying used. That which is truly needed to be carried is a pre-incarnative responsibility which seems highly inconvenient.

In the case of the scribe we see a weariness and numbness of feelings ensuing from lack of using catalyst designed to sensitize this entity to quite significant influxes of unfamiliar distortion complexes of the mental/emotional and spiritual level. As the numbness removes itself from the higher or more responsive complexes the bodily complex distortions will vanish. This is true also of the other examples.

We would note at this time that the totally efficient use of catalyst upon your plane is extremely rare.

so life can be extremely poetic and apt in the way it reflects back to us through the minor ailments.  There is a great subtlety and meaning in the feedback.

It's poetry in motion.

I believe metaphors are all around us. A movie poster for instance can mean the movie itself. The very universe it takes place in.
Mandalas are also good symbols for meditation. I believe they are gateways to other dimensions.

Sometimes life is a cruel irony. I once saw a pickup truck filled with cinder blocks, and it reminded me of something bad I had done. It was right in front of me.
