The OP presents that we can understand Ancient paths, by applying modern thought.
That is what makes him or her wrong.

I agree with what you said having discussions with others of like mind to broaden our perspective. I don't we should get too caught up on the meaning of certain words or rather we should broaden our definition of words. That's what I did reading the OP and then everything came together in context and I was able to fully understand him( or her ?).
For example the word symbol. Many have their own definition of what a symbol is. But i think the OP use of the word means: anything we perceive (places, people, events) is a symbol or sign. In that case we all perceive symbols.
I think it's best to not be caught up on strict definite meanings and rely more on context.
I think our current limited reality is a symbol of greater reality. Like the saying "as above so below"edit on 9-11-2013 by duesprimusvictorimmortali because: (no reason given)

Wow! It must be nice to be the only modernity modality extant to ever coalesce and make crystal-clear the infinitesimal verbiage of cosmic rhetoric and fantastical self-perceived illumination and thereby & thusly collating all esoteric knowledge into the dichotomy of infinite doublespeak.
Thank you!

That true confidence comes from knowing the correct way, which can only be revealed to you when you embrace the Allpath by assimilating or combining the infra-fractal divergent paths into the most highest quintessential mode of perception.
