Carl Jung

According to Jung, a symbol is...

"What we call a symbol is a term, a name, or even a picture that may be familiar in daily life, yet that possesses specific con notations in addition to its conventional and obvious meaning. It implies something vague, unknown, or hidden from us....a word or an image is symbolic where it implies something more than its obvious and immediate meaning."^[1]^[2]

"Because there are innumerable things beyond the range of human understanding, we constantly use symbolic terms to represent concepts that we cannot define or fully."^[3]comprehend
