Reverend Yonggi Cho’s theory of symbol is very unique in that it provides how to achieve the symbolic system working in everyday life situations. Prayer and the Bible are the two most powerful weapons. He got through all the problems of life. All his symbols have come out from experiences to have solved them. Miracles happen even today. His life is the proof for it and his theory of dreams and visions has been born out of such experiences. My thesis is that Rev. Cho’s theory is in the same line with that of some psychoanalysts and philosophers. But he has more in that he specified the 4 stumbling blocks (hatred, inferiority, guilt, and fear) in the way of getting the working system of symbol. He provided the powerful tools (prayer and the Bible) for getting it. Hence, I bring all the theories of symbol under this line: Lacan’s separation between imaginary order and symbolic order; Ricoeur’s Christo-centric integration of all the disciplines about the theory of symbol; Mindel’s dreaming body defined by his quantum psychology; Kohut’s selfobject channel for getting psychological oxygen; Habermas’ idea of symbolic and material reproduction; Bion’s Alpha function and Dreaming. The conclusion is that all the theories of symbol can help us deal with life’s problems. However Rev. Cho’s theory is most experiential and clear-cut in terms of how to get the tasks done: the task of overcoming the obstacles in the way of life and of solving all the problems we face in various life situations throughout our lifetime.
