"Only living is the symbol for the viewer is the ultimate expression of what is sensed but not yet recognized. It then prompts the unconscious participation. It generates life and stimulates its development.Not only the symbol expresses the depths of the self, which he gives form and shape, but it stimulates the emotional charge of his images, the development of mental processes "

"The archetype is a possibility of representation, a willingness to always produce the same mythical representations.They are not representations but inherited innate dispositions that produce similar representations. "The archetypes are universal and identical structures of the psyche. We can talk about archaic residue of original psychic forms, inheritance of the human spirit. The archetype is to the psyche what the skeleton is to the body."

"The profusion of animal symbols in religions and the archetypes of all time not only emphasizes symbols and their significance. It also shows how important it is for people to integrate into his life psychic content of the symbol, that is to say instinct.Animal in itself is neither good nor bad. It is natural! It can desire nothing which is not in his nature. To put it otherwise he obeys his instincts.These instincts often seem mysterious, but they have their parallel in human life: the foundation of human nature is instinct.In humans, the animal can be dangerous if not recognized and integrated into the life of the individual. Man is the only creature that has the power to control his instincts by will .... But it can also repress, repress, distort, injuring an animal is never so dangerous as when wounded.Thus, the repressed instincts may in turn dominate man to destroy it. "

"Blow all simple structures certainty and reassemble knowledge by other structures, nonlinear, infinitely more complex than the sentences of a book, radically different, freed from the constraints language.You need to activate other languages​​, nonlinear hypertexts symbolic autonomous cognitive systems that feed assimilating thoughts in the metabolizing, that is to say, interpreting to integrate consistency.Therefore leave all knowledge and all rational irrational delusions to enter resolutely symbolic systems of knowledge. "

Marc van Keymeulen-Halevy

" Writing consists of primitive signs suggestive ideas. The ideographism original Far East was developed by adapting a set of characters relating to each element of thought.Excluding words, ideographism forces us to think.Words can speak volubly. But they are pronounced without forcing the mind to represent those expressed sounds. Speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts ... He uses a lot especially to exempt thinking. He speaks to say nothing."

Oswald Wirth

"The symbols are not addressed to anyone. They confuse, especially those spirits called positive, who are accustomed to basing their arguments on the rigidity of dogmatic formulas or scientific. However the practical usefulness of these formulas can not be disputed.They helped build, stone by stone, the whole edifice of our modern science we owe all findings of scientific experimentalism and all the wonderful discoveries that are the glory of our time.The philosophical point of view, the precise formulas do not correspond to the least thought frozen artificially bounded off, immobilized, so it appears to be dead over the living thought, indefinite, complex and mobile, which reflected in the symbols."

Oswald Wirth

" While the archaic societies and traditional societies felt integrated into the life of the cosmos, and that most religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, immerse the human cycle of reproduction of the living world, monotheism Jewish, Christian and Islamic severed human animal world, giving it the supreme privilege to have been created in the divine image.Development of Western civilization operates one second disjunction in the seventeenth century: Descartes, "Man is the only subject in the universe, the only one with a soul whose animals are lacking, and it aims to become as master and possessor of nature. "The technical, economic, capitalist Western civilization began since the conquest of this nature where everything is alive is subject to enslave, manipulate or destroy. '
