Relevant quote regarding "traditions" from The Underworld Initiation by RJ Stewart:
"A tradition is fuel for consciousness, causing it to blaze up, feeding it, and at the same time generating the light by which the consciousness illuminates the tradition. [...] Symbols should speak directly to the inner levels of awareness, and the soul should respond to these symbols."
