Why All The Symbolic Non-sense

I don’t know how many times I myself have gotten frustrated with spiritual messengers and their messages couched in vague imagery, hints and symbols which could mean anything when what I want is a simple “yes” or “no” answer. And I’m not alone. It’s the same for my family and for our peers and the bigger spiritual community. So many times we’re looking for a very important answer and what we get is a picture or directions to a place which doesn’t seem relevant or we’re given something which leads us to say “Now what?” We get shown a symbol but are left wondering what it means.

Then you would be returned to your seat in the Library once the lesson was complete.

The right hand page would be the written text concerning the picture to the left. While it wasn’t written in English, I found I could read the text if I focused on the words, but only one line at a time would be translated for me. The experience was as if a bar magnifier were being moved line by line down the page for me which magically translated each line but left those above and below in the original language. Periodically throughout each text page I would come across words which were not translated and appeared to be letters typed over each other to make a large dark blot on the page. When I peered at…
