Event Description

Symbols: the Language of the Subconscious

Workshop: Open to the Public

Note: This special event is in a Scottish Rite building, not the regular Ma'at meeting location.

All are invited to please join us for a special workshop exploring symbols as the language of the subconscious - their form, function, and role in helping us relate to and understand both ourselves and the world around us -  from a Rosicrucian perspective.

Symbolizing is the primary way in which humans relate themselves to the Environment, by which they make order within self and non-self. Symbols assist us in understanding fundamental Natural and Cosmic Laws.

We will explore topics like: what are the elements of a symbol; the various classes of symbols, including natural and artificial symbols; objective, subjective and subconscious symbols; individual collective and archetypal symbols.

We will also discuss how symbols originate and the difference between symbols, signs, signals and degenerated symbols.

* Symbols and the law of the Triangle

* Symbols and the law of correspondence

* Symbolic Systems

* Symbolic transformations in Mythology, Art, Magic, Science, Philosophy and Mysticism

We will also have the opportunity to create our own personal symbols employing as many elements and laws as we understand.
