THOUGHT SYMBOLS ARE REAL

Symbols, in a variety of genres, virtual and actual, tend to simulate concepts of reality, by stimulating analogous suggestions to that substrate of reality, by substituting private thought for public action.
Symbols are therefore not merely abstractions any more than our thoughts are merely abstractions.
Symbols cause us to conceive, to perceive; therefore to sense, to intuit, and thus to know, vicariously. Symbols, in short, sublimate.
Thought, although "abstract," is matter, including its progenitor, as well as all of our thoughts' progeny.
