| Abstract | This paper explores the association between the symbolized and the actualized, beginning with the prehistoric notion of a "reality double," in which no practical difference exists between pictorial representations, visual symbols, and real-life events and situations. Alchemists of the Middle Ages, with their paradoxical vision of the universe having mixed elements of the physical world and the imagined characteristics of mystical and spiritual forces, are prophets of the modern age. Their ideas have been the basis for some modern scientific discoveries, as the visions they foretold through highly visual symbols became conscious to the mind of man and contributed to a redefinition of reality. Based on a belief in the redefined reality, in which things and people could be altered to form more useful or valuable elements, a curriculum was created for vocational and spiritual training, with state support, that was to be provided uniformly across classes. Interest in redefining reality was revived at the beginning of the 20th century through the following set of circumstances: (1) laws of atomic physics changed forever the notion of the nature of matter, and no longer could the idea of fixed reality be assumed; and (2) birth of the sciences of psychology and psychiatry, and an acceptance of the existence of the subconscious, an extranatural or mystical aspect of man. Through time, artists have symbolically expressed their visions of new realities that were "abstract" and lacking in absolutes. In addition, mass media created an illusion of reality, both consciously and subconsciously. (MAS) |
