Czymra,
In response to your second question, "Why use symbols?"

One reason is that because symbols are universal and resonate directly with the Collective and the Soul Self, it is one way to get the message delivered undiluted. It's a communication that transpires.

It's sort of akin to the universal language of medical terminology, which is standardized across all countries and software and hardware programming and protocols and yes, using symbols. Does anyone realize what was accomplished when creating a brand new universal language with computer systems? Awesome. Which is one reason why high level internet insiders are saying that the internet will never go down...they will make sure of it.
