crimsoncurrentSummary of "A Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms to Traditional Images
"This Sabian Symbol represents the act of transforming outdated ideas, beliefs, or traditions by reinterpreting them to align with modern perspectives. It emphasizes the role of a teacher or innovator who revitalizes familiar concepts, offering fresh insights and creative approaches. The symbol encourages analyzing and updating traditional roles or systems, such as marriage, work, or education, to make them relevant today. It calls for originality, daring to think outside the box, and challenging limitations or authority figures who resist change. Keywords: Innovation, re-creation, new perspectives, breaking old patterns, quantum thinking, modern consciousness.
Cautions: Avoid dismissing traditions without evaluation, rejecting valuable ideas, or sticking rigidly to outdated methods. Be mindful of dogmatic resistance or assuming new ideas won’t be accepted.
A TEACHER GIVES NEW SYMBOLIC
FORMS TO TRADITIONAL IMAGES
Commentary: ‘A Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms to Traditional
Images’. This Symbol shows someone who can take a thing or a
situation and transform and update it. The ‘Traditional Images’
can be ideas, objects, icons, beliefs; things we are familiar with.
That a ‘Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms’ shows the ability to
restructure, reinterpret and present them more in tune with the
times. It indicates a need for a fresh and revitalized perspective
on things. This is what Marc Edmund Jones and Elsie Wheeler did
with the Sabian Symbol “experiment”. This book has taken the
Symbols a step further, giving them further depth and insight.
Oracle: In the situation facing you there’s a need to analyze
and perhaps rewrite what has been observed and learned
in the traditional roles we live out. Things may need a new
interpretation to bring them up to speed with today’s thinking.
Someone in this situation may have truly original ideas, but there’s
a possibility of holding these back, feeling it has all been done
before. The message here is to allow yourself to be creative and
look for modern answers, seeing things in a different light or
from a different angle. This may lead to realizations you have
never even considered or imagined. Bringing out something new
will revitalize your situation and affect those around you. This
can bring new understandings about people and the way things
work. There could be a revisioning of how one sees something
like marriage, work, relationships, education etc. Sometimes this
requires one to be daring, to “step outside the box”. Be prepared
to take a different stance or look at things from a new and fresh
perspective. Don’t stick to limitations, either your own or those
others place on you. You may have to make a stand against those
in a higher or more exalted position that think they know more
than you—perhaps they don’t.
Keywords: New dimensions breaking old thought forms or
behavior. Quantum science. Innovation and re-creation. Working
with educational tools. Finding new inspiration. Being “ahead of
one’s time”. New-age consciousness. Ideas out of the past for the
future. Sticking one’s neck out. Rewriting the book.
The Caution: Rejecting old ideas because they are old instead
of reforming them. Throwing things of worth out, without
examining them. Having little respect for things that are really
worthwhile or traditional. Sticking with the tried and true, no
matter what. Thinking that no one will be interested in your
ideas. Heresy. Dogma
