B.3  The symbols make it easy for the student to get a general view over the cosmic structure of the universe or life
Through this technique of the symbol, an understanding of the details of the spiritual or cosmic world is made physically obtainable since the details are couched in an artificial physical visibility. This physical visibility makes it much easier for the researcher or the seeker after truth to understand the cosmic analyses in Livets Bog, and so facilitates for him the road to that stage in evolution where he, by virtue of his own cosmic sensory perception, can directly experience the great analyses of life. The cosmic analyses, which the symbols express, thus constitute the charted road for the modern researcher to the experience of cosmic consciousness, and so to the experience of the solution to the mystery of life, the living beings' immortality, the experience of being "one with God", and so the experience of being "one with the way, the truth and the life".
