The specific form of an individual's internal symbology is unimportant. Contrastingly though, any given person's adherance to their own symbology is of critical importance. Symbological frameworks are the method we each use to ground our understandings and beliefs about our shared reality that have intrinsic personal meaning and importance to each of us. We use our own internal symbol sets to generate a workable model of our world. Without these filters the world becomes a chaotic cacaphony of compared and contrasted events. A veritable barrage of thunderous noise.
Know that the symbols which you choose may be inherrently meaningless when compared with the symbols of your peers. Know, always and in all ways, that this meaninglessness is, by design (intelligent, or otherwise) unimportant. The importance lies in the internal power and meaning that we each derive from the proper use, application, and understanding of the shapes and patterns we each use to define our world. Without definition we remain cast adrift on a sea of fathomless and constant change. Place your stake in the ground. Here, There, Anywhere. It matters little to the world, for our stakes are placeholders of the self. Celestial lightning rods, visible only to those with the courage to define that which was previously undefined. Shared in experience only by those with the fortitude and grace to accept a previously unknown concept, and to grant experience of another the due power of their own investment of time and energy to create a new lighning rod of meaning in the surface of the unknown fabric of the unknowable.
Accept what you are given. It is your birthright to define that which no one before you could see, hear, taste, touch, or smell. Accept the mantle of your godlike power to create new meaning where only the unknowable existed previously. There are many ideas that can be consumed for profit, or pleasure. Thoughts to be pondered out of interest or indecision. Songs to be sung for the joy or the jeering. Jokes to appreciate in humor or horror. Consume to create, and create ideas anew from that which is consumed. The power lies within us all. Accept it!
