   hear it might represent the Greek mythological creature Cerberus guarding the   
   gates of the underworld to prevent the dead from leaving or the living from   
   entering. Or it could be    
   Fluffy, who was modeled on Cerberus in Harry Potter, where he guarded the   
   Pilosopher's Stone (Ariana is a Potter fan). In Harry Potter mythology the   
   Philosopher's Stone can be used to make the Elixir of Life, so that reflects   
   the gates of the underworld    
   idea. And both Cerberus and Fluffy could be put to sleep with music.   
      
   Very good observations. Thank you again for that! This has been a consistent   
   symbolic theme throughout the last 10 to 20 years. Remember the two headed dog   
   on the Live at Pompeii DVD?   
      
   Also "The Stone" is linked to Sisyphus or the Philosopher's Stone AKA The   
   Elixer of Life AKA The Holy Grail AKA Divine Light. Jesus was also said to   
   have entered the Underworld for three days and nights before freeing the lost   
   souls from the gates of    
   Hell and returning triumphantly to earth and ascending to heaven. This would   
   fit in with the Ezekial 25:17 verse.   
      
   "So you pop in the DVD and at the beginning you select a language. Then from   
   here you go to features or the equivalent in Korean, Brazilian Portuguese,   
   Cantonese, Japanese, Spanish, or Mandarin (anyways it is always the third   
   option). Next you can go to    
   Photo Gallery (the third option) or to Lyrics (the seventh option). Once there   
   you will notice one of the options is a blue outline of a two headed dog. When   
   selected it will run a image of a two headed dog inverting color several times   
   then it will take    
   you to a different menu usually to the Photo Gallery, Lyrics, Album Graphics,   
   or Pompeii Map/History in any language. "   
      
   The reason these symbolic images are making their way into pop culture through   
   the sub-conscious of the media is because these are the philosophies being   
   discussed behind closed doors.   
      
   The flow of information from the source is delivering messages to the   
   collective subconscious and those who are more in tune with their intuition   
   are allowing the symbolism to "shine through". This is part of the Aenigma. It   
   is a puzzle that is slowly    
   coming together over the years.   
      
   Refer to Joseph Campbell on the function of mythology and symbolism in the   
   human psyche.   
      
   "“Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has   
   been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because   
   the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words. Beyond images,   
   beyond that bounding rim of    
   the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming. Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to   
   what can be known but not told.”
