For Eriugena, the physical world is not without access to or communication with the other world; there is a bridge between the two, and it is constituted by the symbolum or figura.

Insecurity is like a parasite that clings onto teenagers, siphoning off the victim’s happiness, and allowing so many fears in replacement that it is difficult to select the worst among them.
