      - clarify - make our experiences of the divine clearer
  - - - understand difference between signs + symbols - both point beyond themselves, but symbols go beyond the conventional aspect
      - symbols participate in the reality to which they point
      - symbols 'open up levels of reality which otherwise were closed to us'
      - symbols 'open up levels of reality' and also aspects of ourselves that would otherwise be hidden

      - symbols 'grow when the situation is ripe for them, and they die when the situation changes'
