Note for example the three-headed dog. I       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.”       ― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth "              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
