But here too there is such a paradox, you see? And what if my psyche is such that I simply believe in one image more than in another, while for another person it is the opposite — that which I believe in less, he believes in more, and he will simply feel it more strongly. Therefore, perhaps there is no such thing here as one being stronger than another — what matters more is precisely that which a person believes in more. That is, if I am now listing all these ten, for example, figuratively speaking, or however many it turns out to be, eleven of these elements, these symbols, then each of you should simply pay attention to which one captures your attention the most — and that is yours, because you are simply psychologically inclined toward it. And that which somehow embarrasses you or makes you feel shy — well, then you don’t need it, because you will not, you see, let’s say, open your soul to it and believe in it blindly, like in love. And you must, you see, trust the symbol as if it were something most incredible. And so, from these symbols I am listing, each of you must choose for yourself the one that captures your attention the most. Or, as I am testing — which works on you more, which less.
