The sincere and unprejudiced student of comparative religions comes at last to see that without the
help of symbology no ancient Scripture can ever be correctly understood.

How we confuse symbols and things
In my opinion, the greatest single failure of American education is that students come away unable to distinguish
between a symbol and the thing the symbol stands for. — Copyright © 2001, P. Lutus.

If the theories of Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Teleportation turn out to be correct,
then we could indeed postulate that an advanced civilization would use such methods for communications.

Of the Symbolic Form of Art
Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics -
The symbol, in the sense which we here give to this term,
constitutes, according to its very idea, as well as from the
epoch of its appearance in history, the beginning of art.

Symbolism, Its Meaning and Effect - Alfred North Whitehead
The slightest survey of different epochs of
civilization discloses great differences in their attitude towards symbolism.
For example, during the medieval period in Europe symbolism seemed to dominate men's imaginations.
Architecture was symbolical, ceremonial was symbolical, heraldry was symbolical.

Symbolism - wikipedia.org
Symbolism is the systematic or creative use of arbitrary symbols as abstracted
representations of concepts or objects and the distinct relationships in between,
as they define both context and the narrower definition of terms.

Voices from the Open Source Revolution
Written language gave people symbols, symbols that could stand for things - if
the community could agree on what the symbols stood for.
So language requires consensus. It's something a group can agree on.
It is, in short, a symbol that ties a community together.

Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind - nationmakers.com
Throughout the ages, bicameral societies and civilizations have established themselves as powers and “authorities”,
the nature of which developed without any notion of what it meant to be fully conscious as human beings.

Jane on Jaynes - Learning to talk to Ourselves
According to Julian Jaynes, in his seminal work ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind’,
Achilles’ conversation with Athena wasn’t simply a creative flourish – people in that era really did hear the voices of the gods.

McLuhan Studies Issue 3: Cognitive Power of Chinese Characters
Language can be regarded as the extension of thought. Man accepts,
understands his surroundings or the world in terms of the mother tongue he was born with.
The writing form of this tongue subliminally influences his mind.
A nation's cultural psyche and thinking pattern
can be found deeply rooted in the configuration of its writing system.

Origin of Consciousness - Julian Jaynes
O’ WHAT A WORLD of unseen visions and heard silences, this insubstantial country of the mind!
What ineffable essences, these touchless rememberings and unshowable reveries!
And the privacy of it all!
A secret theater of speechless monologue and prevenient counsel,
an invisible mansion of all moods, musings, and mysteries, an infinite resort of disappointments and discoveries.
A whole kingdom where each of us reigns reclusively alone, questioning what we will, commanding what we can.
A hidden hermitage where we may study out the troubled book of what we have done and yet may do.
An introcosm that is more myself than anything I can find in a mirror.
This consciousness that is myself of selves, that is everything, and yet nothing at all —what is it?
