Het transcendentale critiek van het wijsgeerig
denken,” Philosophia Reformata 6 (1941), 1-20, at
15 Just as the cosmic, ontical coherence of meaning refers beyond
itself to the Archimedean point as concentration point of modal
diversity, so the Archimedean point, from which we view the modal
aspects in a a view of meaning-totality, refers beyond itself to
the Origin of all meaning which indeed is absolute and self-sufficient. |

NC I, 4 (universal character of referring and expressing) |
That which has been expressed
refers back to what has expressed it. Thus expressing and referring are
correlative terms. Expression is from a higher realm into a lower. And
referring is from a lower realm to a higher.
We are the expression of God's image. We have not meaning
in ourselves, but refer and point to God. And we in turn express our selfhood
in our temporal functions. And all temporal reality refers to our selfhood
as its supratemporal root.
Symbols are ways that language refers to
the transcendent.
And in philosophic thought, Ideas
point to the transcendent.
