象征银行

此段摘自《灵魂永生》第十八章  
意识的各阶段，象征和多重焦点

当我提及你个人的“象征银行”时，我是想特别指出，从你出生之日起且在出生之前，这个银行就是你的。用你们的话说，它包含着你累世的象征（今生继续加存）。但是，这个“象征银行”必须激活才有用。比如说，你出生时就有视觉影像——那是内在的视觉影像，也就是“象征”——它们在你第一次睁开眼的瞬间被激活。这些是你的学习机制。你不断尝试正确使用眼睛，直到外在影像与内在模式一致。这非常重要，而你们的科学家还不了解。

如果眼睛有病，好比说天生失明，那么这个特定机制则不在那时启动。这个人也许出于自己的理由选择了天生失明。如果那些理由发生改变，或者内在心灵有所发展，那么肉眼则会被治愈，内在机制也将启动。这类行为不胜枚举。可是，内在象征银行的运作就跟提款账户一样，除非你动用它，不然它是不会有所作用的。正如我早先在本书中提到的，你在学说话之前就会思考，而在你心灵的指尖已有过去累世的经验来指导你。

比如说那些连续两次都生于同一国度的人，再次学说话就会快得多。有些婴儿在学会新的语言之前，会用前一生的语言来思考。所有这些都与象征的运用有关。

你知道声音从某个“寂静点”开始越来越响亮。而你所不了解的是，那个“寂静点”只是你感知不到的点，声音也从那个点开始越来越深入“寂静”，却仍不失其意义且与你所知的声音一样变化多端，而这些也都是“象征”。没说出的思想有种你听不见的“声音”，但在实相与感知的另一层面，它却听起来真切得很。

其实，矗立的树木也是一种你感知不到的声音。在你的梦中，尤其是那些回忆不起来的梦中，存在着意识活动的区域，这些声音在那里被自动感知并转译为视觉影像。其作用就像是“速记”。如果给你某些声音，你就能重新创造你潜意识所知的宇宙，而任何一个多维度的象征都能包含你所知的所有实相世界。

When I referred to your personal bank of symbols, I meant to specify that this bank was yours from the day of your birth and before. It contained the symbols of your past existences in your terms （and in your terms, you add to it in this life）. This bank of symbols must be activated, however. For example, you have visual images when you are born, internal visual images, symbols that are activated the moment you open your eyes for the first time. These serve you as learning mechanisms. You keep trying to utilize your eyes properly until exterior images conform with the inner patterns. This is extremely important, and not understood by your scientists.

The eye-opening activates the inner mechanism. If there is something wrong physically with the eyes, if they are blind for example, then that particular mechanism is not activated at that time. The personality may have chosen to be born blind for his own reasons. If those reasons change, or if inner psychic developments occur, then the physical eyes will be healed and the inner mechanism activated. There are endless varieties of behavior along these lines. The inner banks of symbols, however, operate as a drawing account, latent unless you take advantage of them. You think before you learn language, as I mentioned earlier in this book, but you already have at your psychic fingertips past experiences from other lifetimes to guide you.

Those who are born into the same nationality, say twice consecutively, learn to speak much quicker the second time around. Some infants will think in the language of a past life before the new language is learned. All of this has to do with the use of symbols.

Sound is itself a symbol. You understand that from a given point of silence, sound begins and grows louder. What you do not understand is that from that given point of silence, which is your point of non-perception, sounds also begin that grow deeper and deeper into silence, yet still have meaning and as much variety as the sounds that you know, and these are also symbols. The thought unspoken has a “sound” that you do not hear, but that is very audible at another level of reality and perception.

Trees as they stand are a sound that, again, you do not perceive. In your dreams and particularly beyond those dreams that you recall, are areas of consciousness in which these sounds are automatically perceived and translated into visual images. They operate as a sort of shorthand. Given certain sounds, you could recreate your universe as you know it unconsciously, and any one multidimensional symbol can contain all the reality that you know.
