When talking about conversation, what comes to most minds is that more than one person is involved in order to have a conversation, and it is not usually thought that a conversation can be done by one person because it seems that this The incident is not reasonable but madness. It is insane to have a conversation with only one person, and many people either avoid doing it, or if they do, they hide it for various reasons and do things so that other people do not notice this state of theirs. Do not accuse them of madness and psychosis.

But in this article, I want to say briefly that the conversation is not about the number of people, but about its quality, and to clarify the issue, I use the knowledge of etymology. The English equivalent of this word is "dialogue", which consists of "dai" meaning 2 and "logo" meaning speech. In all dictionaries, this word is defined as a conversation between 2 people or 2 groups or more, and in fact, the number 2 and being together is the main pillar of the meaning of this word.

In contrast to this word, we have the word "monologue" which consists of two parts "mono" which means 1 and "logo" which is the same as speaking. A one-way speech, a monologue which is usually an example of a speech or reading a story or a play unlike the first word, the basis of this word is the number 1 and loneliness.

But in this article, I intend to say that in my opinion there is no such thing as a monologue, the act that we call a monologue is actually a kind of dialogue, but the other side is not as obvious as dialogue.

Even if we assume that the issue of the participation of other strains is effective in the realization of the dialogue but I must say that in a speech or a play performance or reading a story, although the audience is apparently silent, but with thought and reflection about what they are seeing and hearing, still in a way that they are performing a monologue participates. Participating in such cases is not just speaking, but thinking and thinking about the subject being read is also participating in it.

Or another example, which is more important than the first example, and I even started my writing with it in a way, is the category of "conversation with oneself", which is apparently one of the examples of monologue, but according to what I said in this article, a person who has given himself such formality When he talks to himself, he actually talks to his inner self, he considers himself more than one person, and even instead of that, his other self also speaks, and he really starts a conversation that, in his opinion, is completely It is rational and official and even many psychoanalysts and psychologists have suggested such a method as a therapeutic solution.

 But the thing to consider is that the fear of being called crazy prevents most people from accepting such a phenomenon. A phenomenon that many geniuses, writers, scientists and mystics, and in fact all of them, have considered it as one of the pleasures of their lives, a pleasure that is based on a lot of courage and rationality.

The garden is one of the most used symbols in religion and literature. In almost all religions, heaven is a garden full of flowers and trees, which is promised to good people as a place of salvation. In many poems and also in the field of art, especially the art of painting, flowers and plants represent the most beautiful and meaningful symbols of culture and thought. This is the case not only in Iran, but also in other nations of the world.

But I will continue my writing by raising this question that What is the true meaning and interpretation of this high-frequency symbol and what was its purpose? Is it only the external beauty of green and flowery gardens that has given it such glory in the field of religion, literature and art? Or that it has a deep topic that deserves to be thought about. In this article, in short, I present a symbolic and psychological analysis in response to this thought-provoking and important question.

To enter into this analysis, I will present a few lines from the valuable book "dictionary of Symbols", a book that is the result of extensive and deep studies and research by several educated professors of the University of Strasbourg, France, and in my opinion, it contains relatively comprehensive points about the supposed symbol of our opinion. In the culture of symbols, we read: "The garden is a symbol of consciousness, unlike the forest, which is a symbol of the unconscious. The garden has a feminine meaning. And this is because of its characteristic as a privacy"[1]. Another thing is that "the garden is often seen in a dream as a blissful expression of desire free from all anxieties. The garden is the growth and cultivation of living and internal phenomena but to enter the garden, you can only enter through a narrow door. The dreamer often has to go around the garden to find this door. This walk around the garden is a picture of long-term physical development achieved through inner richness... This garden may be an allegory of one's self, when there is a tree or a fountain in the middle... [2] The garden model in Islam and Christianity is the same alchemical model of the philosophers' garden, which we know from treatises on alchemy and many beautiful engravings. The points that deserve reflection here are as follows:

1 Alchemy of Self

  2 Removing Obstacles and Solving Problems

 3 Effort and Perseverance

 4 Self-Awareness

 5 Evolution and Transformation

 6 Self-Flourishing

 7 Peace and Happiness

As you can see, in these few lines, the meanings of the garden have been briefly listed, meanings that are also linked to the knowledge of alchemy and indicate a profound transformation. The world within a person is full of abilities, which of course are all potential and hidden like a treasure at the beginning of his entry into this world. The revelation and actualization of these abilities requires great effort and determination, which of course is not available to everyone.

That is why many people never become what they should be. This important category, "becoming," is essential to the alchemy of human existence, and it is the manifestation of these potential forces and abilities that give meaning to human existence. An effort that leads to a person's awareness of his inner treasures, and it is this awareness that causes evolution. It is now clear why Thomas Aquinas, in his "Alchemy Treatise Aurora " likened this process to the sprouting of a seed from the soil and its transformation into a growing plant. These important things are the main things that are among the semantic characteristics of the garden symbol, and I can confidently say that in the field of religions, literature, and art, whenever the garden symbol is mentioned, one or more or all of these characteristics have been taken into account. For this reason, it can be believed that the garden is a symbol of prosperity and growth, and the most fundamental task of the inhabitants of Paradise is to realize their true identity.
