Follow link and then click on "Society" from the top menu. www.youth.me.uk/YouthFrameset.htmThanks, no I hadn't seen it. So youth is just one guy?I thought it was an ensemble thing.... interesting mission statement though. Sounds like a lot of tripping going on.

I agree with you completely. He has used that same background (with the Bishop or whatever) every time he has done "A Day In The Life." I really want to know what that is. I have to look back at the other shows, but I think the box, arrows and dice background is new. the indentation of a die is a "pip" same goes for a club, heart etc on a deck of playing cards.... just sayin' it's also a picture with in a picture... this will make sense at a later date.... lol a little more sense: the fovea is a a small pit or depression in a bone or other structure. For this topic related discussion - in particular: the fovea is a small indentation in the body of the eye. fovea 1 : a small fossa 2 : a small rodless area of the retina that affords "the most" acute vision where is the "pit"? You could visualize this as a "cavern" (within a cavern) so thinking about the construction of the bowman's layer of the cornea, remember it's collagen fibers/weave with some indentations, like "rabbit" holes, it's not really a level surface even with it's curve over the pupil.... what's he up to? now let's talk about another type of mirror: books.google.com/books?id=oJ9nayZZ2oEC&pg=PA94&lpg=PA94&dq=mirror+eye+shen&source=web&ots=9cpk7rzybd&sig=KTHAXCFrpB_CF9jp7IS4hCC42eg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=9&ct=resultunrelated photo ;D "Chinese 'magic mirrors", are some of the strangest objects in the world. They are known to go back to at least the fifth century AD, though their exact origins are unknown. About 1,200 years ago, there still existed a book entitled Record of Ancient Mirrors, which apparently contained the secrets of these magic mirrors and their construction, but sadly it seems to have been lost for over a thousand years."
""There exist certain 'light-penetration mirrors' which have about twenty characters inscribed on them in an ancient style which cannot be interpreted. If such a mirror is exposed to the sunshine, although the characters are all on the back, they 'pass through' and are reflected on the wall of a house, where they can be read most distinctly... . I have three of these inscribed 'light-penetration mirrors' in my own family, and I have seen others treasured in other families, which are closely similar and very ancient; all of them 'let the light through'. But I do not understand why other mirrors, though extremely thin, do not 'let light through'. The ancients must indeed have had some special art .... Those who discuss the reason say that at the time the mirror was cast, the thinner part became cold first, while the raised part of the design on the back, being thicker, became cold later, so that the bronze formed minute wrinkles. Thus although the characters are on the back, the face has faint lines too faint to be seen with the naked eye.'
Although differences of cooling rate are not the explanation, Shen Gua was correct in suggesting that the shiny, polished mirror surfaces concealed minute variations which the eye alone could not detect. Needham says of the experiments carried out by European scientists: 'Careful and extended optical experimentation demonstrated that the surfaces of 'magic' mirrors reproduced the designs on the backs because of very slight inequalities of curvature, the thicker portions being very slightly flatter than the thinner ones, and even sometimes actually concave.'
The basic mirror shape, with the design on the back, was cast flat, and the convexity of the surface produced afterwords by elaborate scraping and scratching. The surface was then polished to become shiny. The stresses set up by these processes caused the thinner parts of the surface to bulge out wards and become more convex than the thicker portions. Finally, a mercury amalgam was laid over the surface; this created further stresses and preferential buckling. The result was that imperfections of the mirror surface matched the patterns on the back, although they were too minute to be seen by the eye. But when the mirror reflected bright sunlight against a wall, with the resultant magnification of the whole image, the effect was to reproduce the patterns as if they were passing through the solid bronze by way of light beams. As Sir William Bragg said when he finally discovered this in 1932: 'Only the magnifying effect of reflection makes th-em plain." Needham rightly calls this 'the first step on the road to knowledge about the minute structure of metal surfaces.""findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1310/is_/ai_6955864this post will make sense at a future date. and what, if anything, does this have to do with shen ring? lol down the rabbit hole what would a rabbit hole have to do w/ a cartouche aka shen? hmmmm

who was the White Rabbit? what IS the white rabbit? and what is it's hole? A shen ring is a circle with a line at a tangent to it, which was used in hieroglyphics as a stylised loop of a rope. In particular, the circle represented eternity, as circles did in many ancient cultures . In numerical use, a circle represented infinity, all, or everything. lookig glass ties ankh and shen related? yes, some say so www.vivart.co.uk/hieroglyphs_s.htm" As the sign for eternity, the shen ring is frequently associated with Heh, the god of eternity and often forms the base of the palm branch symbolizing "years". ( also- HEH was the early numeral for “a million” and also signified “very many”. It was later replaced by combinations of lower signs in number writing but not in symbolic art. )
It is also linked with the ouroboros, the serpent and with the falcon and various vulture goddesses.the March Hare This lifetime is shown in the form of a gigantic snake inscribed with the hieroglyphs for “lifetime”, and the inscription for that picture of the time snake calls it “metui”, or “double cord”. Hornung also describes a scene from the same “Book of Gates” in the tomb of Ramesses VI (1151 to 1143 BCE) in the Valley of the Kings “... in which time appears as a doubly twisted rope spun from the mouth of a deity. Stars above the twists in the rope mark the individual hours as measurable units of time. In this image both the beginning and the passage of time are expressed.” In other tomb paintings, the time- snake swallows the stars to then bring them forth again, or it appears as the cosmic ourobouros serpent that forms a circle to either swallow or disgorge its own tail. In a particularly telling example discussed by Hornung, the tail- in- mouth time- snake symbol surrounds a rabbit which was the hieroglyph for “being”.
Here it was placed on a standard polelol like the emblems of the gods. The rabbit stood thus for the same “being” or “existence” that the Shen- Ring and the cartouche protected within their coils. "The Royal Cartouche that surrounds the names of Egyptian Pharaohs is an adaptation of the Shen Ring. But it has been said that the ‘oval cartouche’ is also an “egg” – which means that all Egyptian cartouches with the names of their Pharoahs are really names etched inside the “cosmic egg” of rebirth – "

Pardon the intrusion... There is more here than meets the kaleidoscope eyes. Is there a need to mention the "looking glass ties" to "Wool and Water"? Is it a waste of time to compare "rocking horse people" to the "Magical Mystery Boy" in MMT? The connections are there. The Walrus, and the egg. The challenge, "Let the fuckers figure this one out."

Rocking horse people who eat marshmallow pies are children.

So would that refer to a playground, where they have the spring type rocking horses? Aren't marshmallow pies also referred to as "Moon Pies?"

Absolutely not. It means "Sick Tuesday" or "fat Tuesday"

If it was "Lundi Gras" you'd be half right. Of course maybe eyeseeyou means Mardi Gras = moon pies in the sense that Mardi Gras = parties, drinking and girls on balconies. Moon Pies = wild times? Who knew? ;D

OK, where to start.... I asked eyeseeyou about his avatar, and thisone posted a link to the movie The Wicker Man, wherein the fellow in the wheel chair did not appear, so it doesn't appear to have been from that movie, however the wall in front of which the individual sits is similar to the one behind Feorge in When we was fabwww.youtube.com/watch?v=DET45Tr421sso I thought perhaps it might have been taken from that video. There was no scene in that video of a man in a wheel chair. But there is a scene of a man in a wheel chair in the CSN&Y video American Dreamwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ABfsIInfXgUand for my two cents, this video is about the McCartneys (Faul and Paul), with the one in the wheelchair being Paul, so when I saw the avatar for eyeseeyou, with the individual holding a red carnation(?) (as opposed to a black one, you see), it screamed "Paul no longer dead". So, I thought that whoever eyeseeyou is, he might be someone who "knows something". As for his remarks that: "Mardi Gras=moon pies", and "My dear, many Mardi Gras maybe in your area but not mine Mine was the first here in the States...(not New Orleans)" which I took to mean: "Maybe Mardi Gras may be (Fat Tuesday) in your area, but not mine", so I looked up Mardi Gras Historywww.eastjeffersonparish.com/culture/MARDIGRA/HISTORY/history.htmand I looked up Moon Pie, wiki, and found that there is a Moon Pie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee www.tnvacation.com/events/3076/which is by a river, and may resemble Mardi Gras in some fashion. However it has only been celerated for the last 14 years, so it wouldn't be "the oldest" celebration of Mardi Gras in the United States, which may have been in Mobile, Alabama, from what I can gather from the article. ------------------------ While looking at the "When We Fab" videos, I saw this one: BEATLES-WHEN WE WERE FABwww.youtube.com/watch?v=A_5xvITg790&NR=1and at 2:14 there is Faul, where he ought not to be. And I can't explain it, unless, somehow Paul was "just happening" to look like Faul for a second, and I find it hard to believe. As for this version: George Harrison - When we was fabwww.youtube.com/watch?v=DET45Tr421sthere is so much there I could comment on, that I hardly know where to begin. How about at the very beginning, where we hear a count of "One, two..." and a hand raises one finger, then two, and then "Harrison" appears. Could it be any more blatant? Two Harrisons. But if you watch the video further, about 5 of them come out from him at 3:20. There is so much in this video that it warrants a thread of its own, but no guy in a wheel chair with a red carnation. Unless he was sitting out of range of the camera.

Sorry B, maybe posted out of sync. There's so much being posted recently, (hey am I complaining?) and all at once too. I was referring to the "rocking horse people" and maybe more. Anyways it's a three dog night here, I'm heading for golden slumbers!!

The Glass Onion is a glass-topped coffin/or cryogenic chamber. If you watch the video for Paul's "A Wonderful Christmas Time" he sings,
"The Word is out about the town. So lift the glass ... and don't look down" ...
If he lifted the glass (the top of the coffin/cryogenic chamber) and looked down he would have seen himself. And note that in the video, two Pauls confront each other when he sings that line.
The first long-faced Paul says "so lift the glass ..."
and a round-faced paul appears, looks at his double and sings "And don't look down!"
Just something I noticed.

When they are facing each other, the white smoke/flame rises up between them, and if you pause, the white flame reaches out and lands on the top of the head of the Paul on our LEFT.
At the end, notice how there is a close-up of the jingle bells, and then the musician holds it directly over Paul's head?
And the sparking stars that pour out of Paul - is the impression that the star-lovers in the sky are formed from the substances that he is releasing?
The colors on his scarf was pinging me, but I don't know why yet.
