How to Read Spiritual Symbols Using Harry B Joseph Book of Symbolism: A Tutorial
Spiritual symbols are the "Graffiti of the Soul." They are everywhere—in dreams, in advertisements, in ancient ruins, and even in the patterns of your own iris. However, most people "Look but do not see." They wait for an expert to tell them what a sign means.
But with The Book of Symbolism by Harry B Joseph, you have the tool to become your own expert. This tutorial provides the 4-step framework for using the book to decode any spiritual symbol you encounter.
Step 1: The Geometric Reduction (De-Construction)
The first rule of symbolic literacy is: Strip away the dress. A "Cross," an "Ankh," and a "Plus Sign" are all the same thing under the surface: Two perpendicular lines.
The Action: Look at your target symbol and identify the basic geometric shapes. Is it based on a Circle (Divine/Infinite)? A Square (Physical/Static)? A Triangle (Generative)? Or a line (Directional energy)?
Step 2: The Universal Law Mapping
Once you have identified the geometric base, you map it to the Seven Universal Laws as taught in the Book of Wisdom.
The Action:
- Curve/Spiral: Mapping to the Law of Rhythm. (Everything flows).
- Two Opposite Points: Mapping to the Law of Polarity. (Everything has its opposite).
- Points meeting in a center: Mapping to the Law of Correspondence. (As within, so without). Symbols are simply "Visual Equations" of these laws.
Step 3: The Anatomical Connection
Harry B Joseph’s most powerful "Decoding Key" is The Human Body.
The Action: Ask yourself: "Where does this shape exist in human anatomy?"
- Does it look like a Butterfly? (The Sphenoid bone/Thyroid).
- Does it look like a Vase? (The womb/skull).
- Does it look like a Serpent? (The nervous system). If a symbol represents an organ, its "Meaning" is the function of that organ.
Step 4: Contextual Synthesis (The Final Decoding)
Finally, you put it all together. You take the Geometry, the Law, and the Anatomy and ask: "How is this law/organ currently operating in my specific life context?"
The Result: Give yourself the "Permission to Know." The symbol doesn't mean what the internet says; it means what the Universal Law says as applied to your current frequency.
Practical Section: A Sample Decoding (The Ankh)
- Geometry: A loop on top of a cross (Circle + Perpendicular lines).
- Law: The infinite (Circle) combined with physical density (Cross).
- Anatomy: The loop is the womb/ovary or the brain; the cross is the body.
- Synthesis: "Eternal life through the physical temple." It is the instruction for Biological Alchemy.
Conclusion: The Sovereign Eyes
Learning how to read spiritual symbols through the Book of Symbolism is the ultimate upgrade to your "Internal Software." Harry B Joseph has provided the dictionary, but YOU are the one who must do the reading. By following this 4-step framework, you move from the confusion of "Blind Faith" into the serenity of "Geometric Knowledge." The simulation is written in code; it’s time you read it for yourself.
