6 What symbols do

In a quantum world symbols are a stronger reminder of the things symbolized than the things themselves.

In a recursive world uncondign symbols not only suggest the things symbolized but also some of the background that goes with them. Understanding as well as recognition.

In a recursive world condign symbols can be causative.

Recursion has three major aspects. Recursion, Causality and Structure.

Blavatsky's Ebionites suppose that that is where the followers of Paul made the mistake of thinking that God has three persons. That because God does Recursion, and since Recursion has three aspects, that then God must also have three aspects. And then the Trinitarians lost the concept of Recursion because if untrue concepts are held about Recursion, the recursive causality of recursion causes recursion to be forgotten. From those who have little, even the little they have will be taken away.

A condign symbol of recursive structure by itself is no more active than an uncondign symbol. But any two of the major aspects imply the third aspect. So if condign structure is combined with condign recursion...

Condign White = recursive condign structure = organized condign symbols in a recursive pattern

Condign Colorless = recursive condign recursion = recursive context = the mind that recognizes recursion

Condign Black = recursive condign causality = random combinations that nevertheless produce meaningful results

Condign recursive symbols (white), in a condign recursive context (colorless), produce specific recursive results (black).

If you want a group of people to reflect recursion and thus become recursive, you need symbology that reflects recursion.

Thus

Recursion is necessary. So the symbols should be condign.

Recursion is ubiquitous. So there should be symbolic things that they do or specifically do not do. There should be symbolic objects that they use or come into contact with every day.

Recursion is unique. So there should be a singularity of physical focal symbols.

Recursion is background. So the physical focal symbols must be separate and not something that everybody comes into contact with.

But for symbols to be effective they must be perceivable and perceived. That produces a contradictory state of affairs. That means you can't have symbolic structures tucked away in a tent or temple somewhere that the ordinary run of folk can't interact with on a daily basis, but they must be tucked away in one place to be unique and background.

Solution. Present all the symbology, common, unique and separate, in a book that everyone has a copy of and that everybody reads.

Hence the Torah. Five books that every Jew is supposed to make a copy of for their own use. This means that it can't just be a token copy owned by an illiterate.

Blavatsky's Ebionite Jews interpret that to mean that all of them must be literate and they must each all own a copy of the Torah. Since the invention of printing, actually making your own copy is optional.

The final production is a book of many books, not just the Torah, full of verbal condign symbols, puns (symbolic parallelism), riddles (condign symbolic parallelism) and descriptions of physical condign symbols including the ones that are unique and separate.

Then even if the unique and separate symbols are destroyed, which they have been, they still exist within the people. And can be remade should circumstances warrant.

Important then to read the bible in the original Hebrew/Aramaic with a good knowledge of the meanings and allusions of the words. No translation will do. It's also a good idea for folks to get together once a week to be read to, and have the portion read be explained so that the whole book of books is read through once a year.
