The Signs

Keywords courtesy of Julie Simmons. Keep in mind that key words are meant to be keys. Keywords are not the same as definitions.  They can help unlock the door to the room where the particular symbol lives.  It is never possible to comprehend a symbol with the rational mind in its totality.  That's why they are so fascinating.  There is always more.  Another thing to consider when working with symbolic language is that you really look through symbols, you don't look at them. Contained in each sign may be its opposite.
