        Are signs manifested by meaning of signs?

        The relative value of reality, the knowledge of it, and its signification
        Is teaching possible without signs?  Words themselves do not make us know realities

        Internal light, internal truth
        Words do not always have the power even to reveal the mind of the speaker
         Christ teaches within the mind.  Man’s words are external and serve only to give reminders
