Symbol and Meaning

The Essence:

A group for questions, thoughts, and experiences about the relationship between: symbol, meaning, language, thinking, and consciousness.

The Details: 

The goal of this endeavor is to facilitate clarity and understanding in our own minds and enhance our ability to communicate meaningfully and effectively, especially as relates to matters spiritual and metaphysical.  

The method is by dialog and sharing of anything related to the themes define above.

There is one key book of recommended reading:  Insights for the Age of Aquarius by Gina Cerminara

I think this is the most important book of its kind and likely unique.  It was done as a Quest edition but there are also non TS editions.  It expounds the relation between language, thinking, spirituality, and the way any world view takes shape in our minds and in our communication.  If you think, you may need this book.  If you talk and want clarity, you may need it. If you want to get at the essence of things and understand some really vital things about how language and illusion work on a practical level, I highly recommend it.

Where to buy; its cheap; copies start at $1.:
