Nicholas Velimirovich, st Symbols and Signs Translated from Serbian by Gheorghita Ciocioi The entire conceptual (spiritual) world is made known through symbols to the sensible world, for those who have eyes to see. The entire world perceptible by the senses is contained within the spiritual world. The Lord’s coming symbolically enlarged the spiritual world of the human universe. Before Christ’s coming, the whole universe served as shadow and symbol of the heavenly things. Christ Himself employed symbols of nature, in order to explain the spiritual reality he showed to the world. Nature is a symbol of truth. The material world is the visible image of the spiritual one. The physical world is a symbol of the spiritual world. Man, you must rule over symbols, not symbols over you! All creatures must be under your feet as a book to read and learn, while you must elevate your spirit to the heavenly things, to the actuality of the spiritual Kingdom. Format: 11x20 cm, 128 p.
