Hill implies that “communication” is symbolic. Symbols are not a bug. They’re a safety feature: they bypass argument, preserve choice, and allow interpretation later—when you’re back in ordinary clarity.

  • They bypass debate.
  • They preserve agency.
  • They invite delayed interpretation.

Healthy practice

Record symbols → live normally → reflect later. Don’t decode immediately inside a receptive state.
