"All natural phenomena are signs of spiritual truth to which they give expression; thus they may be called symbols. It is quite a different thing whether we look upon concrete things and facts as merely -1 -material things and facts serving this or that outward purpose, or contemplate them as the outward forms of spiritual control, the intermediate of higher truths and higher knowledge. In this sense the material world is a symbol of the spiritual world, and it is in this sense that education needs to use it, especially in leading the child to the ultimate cause of all things

God."

- Froebel.
