11. Visions and Symbols
It is not a fact that the psychic being always appears as a baby – it is sometimes seen symbolically as a new-born baby; many see it as a child of varying ages – it is a very common and usual experience; it is not peculiar to emotional natures. It has several significances such as the new birth of the consciousness into the true psychic nature, the still young growth of this new being, the trust, reliance, dependence of the child on the Mother.
