This online talk, given by our speaker Julian Scott, explained how symbols – just like written language – express meaning, often at a deeper level than rational expression. The evening expanded on how since the earliest times of human evolution, symbols have played a central role in human life and society. Participants were able to reflect on the importance of symbols, how we can learn to understand their meanings and how we can use them to come closer to the essence of life and truth in a deeper and richer way. A very well attended event with interesting questions and comments from the audience.
