   > 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?   
      
   I don't have the Live in Pompeii DVD but Wikipedia says that Cerberus was also   
   portrayed with two heads. In the case of Pink Floyd this might also echo the   
   duality theme of TDB artwork.    
      
   > 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.   
      
   In esoteric symbolism, the "underworld" may actually refer to the earth (as   
   opposed to heaven) and the "dead" are the inhabitants of the earth. (See also   
   Matthew 8:22: But Jesus told him, "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own   
   dead.")   
      
   "In the mystery symbologies the earth was always represented as the   
   underworld, and the soul was lost in this underworld until freed from it by   
   wisdom, faith, and understanding. Persephone, for instance, was abducted by   
   Pluto, Lord of Hades. Persephone    
   is the soul of man, whose true home is in the heavens."
