Symbol has the power to connect to deep facets of our psyche. When connecting to needs related to survival needs, often without knowing it, we can be entranced by the associated thoughts connected to a symbol.
A wedding ring, a gesture of goodwill and caring, a phrase, a flag... Creating connection through our abstract deep thoughts related to survival... Our longing to live, feel supported, with the aid of others. Our longing for safety and access via status or affiliation.... Under the possessive power of a symbol we become willing to go to extreme lengths in order to satisfy the underlying impulses and urges towards life and its continuation.
We are even willing to give the best of ourselves... We are even willing to kill... driven by the symbols we have surrendered to... the underlying forces we have surrendered to...
