In place of a pantheon of primitive Gods and strange figures he perceives a multiplicity of soul-powers representing inner movements of consciousness, aspects of ourselves, as well as universal principles. Symbols are like mirrors reflecting the multi-facetted reality.

Therefore, our interpretation had to be based directly on the symbols and the movements of self-awareness they represent, and not exclusively on Greco-Egyptian dictionaries which have too often replaced the contents of the Egyptian image by notions of Greek philosophy and mythology.
