Food for Thought

I get a lot of questions.  Between this blog and my website, the volume of questions is mind-blowing (no chunk-spattering yet, but a brain explosion is surely eminent).

Most questions (I’d say 95%) boil down to one thing:  “What does this mean?”

My answer (although often packaged differently) is the same today as it was the day I went public with my brand of symbolic interpretations five years ago:

“What does it mean to you?”

I figure my job is to offer background information so that you can come to your own conclusions of symbolic meaning…conclusions that best suit your needs, personality, and life-experience.

Consider the pages you read here and on my website  as food for thought.

Better still, my symbolic interpretations are like toppings on the pizza pie of your perception.  They are accessories.  Enhancements.  They can add flavor to your point of view. 

Conversely, if you don’t like what I’m saying, like an anchovy, you can pick the little booger off your pie.

Come to think of it, every other opinion outside your own should be viewed as a pizza topping.  You wouldn’t put stuff on your (literal) pizza pie you wouldn’t want to eat.  Why would you listen to crappy ideas about an oracle in your experience, or the symbolic meaning of an animal totem?

I’m forever driving this point home in my writing: “The best interpretation is your own.”  Everything else is subject to your judgment. 

Take what you want.  Use the stuff that feeds your soul.  Chuck the stuff that tastes icky to your spiritual palette.  

Happy chowing.
