For the occultist, for example, the Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian cultures are much more complicated than those mentioned above — because some things are more complicated for the occultist, which might seem much simpler to the observer of the physical plane. So the question may arise, for example, when we talk about Danish culture: How should we relate to our symbols? If we approach the columns from the west, we should first focus our gaze on the capital of the third column and then on the capital of the fifth column, thus viewing the third column through the fifth column, as it were. You see, this is a complicated matter, because two capitals have to be taken into account.
