I had a strange thing happen when I did the exercise...
I wrote down my symbols - and was shocked how important they were. Problem - I found my notes about 6 months after I wrote down the exercise (maybe longer).
I think that our mind is always trying to teach us something - the subconscious works in pictures & symbols. So what you think it's trying to tell you might be put through your "today" filter. But the symbol might actually be a message for your future self.
I know crazy, because all we have is today. Still we are putting everything we've learned "through our past" filters. When you let go off looking how it's supposed to relate - and just look at it with new eyes - things begin to appear.
