   Re: The Church Is The Bell That Divides

   From Tomas (litewave) 9/5/17   
      
   "In my opinion that is what The Division Bell is a blueprint for. The   
   restoration of the total Human Being through the re-establishment of   
   communication between the ego (the light head) and the soul/unconscious mind   
   (dark head)? Perhaps the Church    
   between the heads is symbolic of those forces of the establishment that   
   intentionally work towards blocking that connection within us for whatever the   
   ultimate reason may be.   
      
   The Church as an ossified structure can keep consciousness imprisoned in it,   
   devitalize it, turn it into stone. Storm Thorgerson once said that the third   
   head on TDB cover keeps the two heads from talking. Maybe he was referring to   
   the material body in    
   which the ego/soul dyad is incarnated. A similar idea seems to be expressed in   
   the table tennis scene in the High Hopes video - when the tennis ball becomes   
   too large and heavy the two players find it difficult to play with it.   
      
   On the other hand, the third head can also be seen as something that unifies   
   the two heads, like the Father in the Trinity, who is the source of Son and   
   Spirit. TDB front cover can be seen as an image of the Trinity. And the Ely   
   Cathedral in the middle    
   is The Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Ely. But this   
   Trinity is apparently mired in earth. It needs to be set free, so that the   
   Father's will is done on earth as it is in heaven."
