Value of the Symbolic View
Faith - You will find this pattern present at all levels of reality, revealing a new layer of design to Godβs universe.
Scriptural interpretation - Many of the obscure and confusing parts of the Bible become less strange and more obvious. You will find these patterns and symbols throughout it.
Balance - You will be less prone to absolute dichotomies and begin to value differences in people, while also acknowledging the limitations and dangers of extremes.
Simplicity - Things that seemed overly-complex within the world around you will be revealed as instances of these simplified categories and their interactions (politics, relationships, etc.).
Balancing Rationalism - The critiques brought by the Enlightenment (leading to Postmodernism) will have a counter-philosophy that incorporates inherent meaning.
Understanding Ancients - Likewise to the above, the spiritual and symbolic views of ancient authors will appear less primitive and more understandable.
