When you're writing papers, you are making the sentences too circular. It is okay to be definite, for that is what the professor is asking for. If you put in one more indefinite article in the following manner, I will cause spell check to not recognize "a" as a word at all:
"Representing a spiritual understanding..."
"Holding a special significance..."
It's not wrong in itself, but it's little superfluous things like that which are making me cringe rewriting my paper. I know what you mean, that there could be other significances and other spiritual understandings. In that case, say "one." Or go into them in your paper. But I'm really trying not to make a thirty-page argument here. I can't explore everything. And with my most recent escapade, I've gone from a page short to one or two pages over (the recommended but-by-no-means-a-ceiling) limits.
Respectfully yours,
Me
P.S. I like pizza.
