Ok, someone has been playing and they submitted our first morphed image. Nothing too hugely exciting, but I at least wanted something to show that will hopefully encourage others to play with this idea. They worked with the Sgt. Pepper Cover www.kindagamey.com/limages/sgt-pepper-flipped.jpgIt is a rather large image, so lick on the "+" button and look at the center where the band members are standing together. Look real close to the very middle. Ok, granted at this point I don't see any connection to a robotic looking blue dude and the story, but at least you can see the types of images that can be made. He has an interesting looking belt buckle, but it is small and I can't see too much detail.

Oooooo - don't tell me we were lucky enough to get a hit on the very first try??
That would be unheard of. My fingers are crossed.

Well the dude above Faul's hands compares favorably with the guy in Iameye's Reply #23, though they are not identical.

I apologize for having to work so hard, I was hoping that it would be something more obvious. But this particular image is so busy, it probably wasn't the best one to start with. I hope someone is playing with the Abbey Road back cover, since that image is cleaner.
But, please focus in on the gold belt buckle in the center. Just above that there is a line that looks like a lion's nose almost sweeping into eyes and the two lines beside that go up over the Beatle's shoulders look like horns. And whose face do we see between the horns?
You guessed it - Faul's.

Letter B: That's awesome!! Will you marry me? I am having a hard time viewing images in these threads. I have to back up from the bottom, and the window jumps from being there to blacked-out. Does anyone know what I can do to fix that?

Can one of you identify for me the floating ghostly head on either side that ends up looking down on the group of Beatles? Kinda looks like Hitler? It really stands out from the other heads on the morphed image.

Phoneypr0phet:
I see it! I must admit that one didn't jump out at me right away, but once you see it, it seems clear. Like those kinds of pictures that are made up of two images, but you can only see one at a time?
Once he is in your focus, follow that line down and you sill see another little guy of the same size with a black executioner's mask on, only eyes showing.
Thanks!

Is the Game of Life created by the Court Jester, the Trickster, the Joker, or a Clown? don't you know the joker laughs at you? Their hats, sometimes called the cap ’n’ bells, cockscomb (obsolete coxcomb), were especially distinctive; made of cloth, they were floppy with three points ( liliripes) each of which had a jingle bell at the end. The three points of the hat represent the donkey's ears and tail worn by jesters in earlier times. Other things distinctive about the jester were his laughter and his mock scepter, known as a bauble or maharoof. Fleur de Lis is a stylized design of an Iris flower. (in three sections) Iris goes to eye symbology The son or daughter of the god and goddess is associated with the overlapping of the spheres -- the resulting three dimensional figure somewhat like an American football. In the case of Jesus Christ, the two dimensional figure has also served as a symbol for the miracle of the fishes. ( The “tail” also served to more easily identify the source of the plane figure.) There is also conveyed the spiritual power originating from the interior of this symbol. like two ears and a tail....

Your hand is guided by god. I'm not sure which one, but he works in mysterious ways.

hey thanks and a very welcome to the forum! A bauble was originally a stick with a weight attached, used in weighing a child's toy, but especially the mock symbol of office carried by a court jester. This was a baton terminating in a figure of Folly with cap and bells, and sometimes having a bladder fastened to the other end. Subsequently it became a term for any triviality or childish folly.who's holding the bauble? A Mandorla is a Vesica Piscis shaped aureola which surrounds the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary in traditional Christian art.[4] It is especially used to frame the figure of Christ in Majesty in early medieval and Romanesque art, as well as Byzantine art of the same periods. The term refers to the almond like shape: "mandorla" means almond nut in Italianc.1300, from O.Fr. almande, from V.L. *amendla, from L. amygdala, from Gk. amygdale, of unknown origin, perhaps a Sem. word. Altered in M.L. by infl. of amandus "loveable," www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Crux.html Vespucci was the first of Europeans to see the Four Stars, but did not use the title of the Cross, and called them Mandorla. Allen in Star Names notes: "This, literally 'an Almond,' is the word used in Italian art for the vesica piscis, the oblong glory, surrounding the bodies of saints ascending to heaven". The word almond, from Latin amygdala, from Greek amugdale, 'almond', is borrowed from Hebrew meghedh El, 'divine fruit'. Related to amygdalate, mandorla [Klein]. The amygdala is an almond-shaped mass of gray matter in the anterior portion of the temporal lobe of the brain. "The concept of the amygdala as an important contributor to pain and its emotional component is still emerging". Excruciating, crucify and crucifixion all share the same root meaning referring to a cross and to the associated pain and suffering.
The Mandorla is an ancient symbol of two circles coming together, overlapping one another to form an almond shape in the middle. Mandorla is the Italian word for almond. The Mandorla is also known as the 'Vesica Piscis', symbolizing the interactions and interdependence of opposing worlds and forces. Although the symbol has its origins before the Christian era, the early Christians used the symbol as a method to describe the coming together of heaven and earth, between the divine and human. www.kyrie.com/symbols/mandorla.htmtbc, later

one and one and one is...... An aureola or aureole (diminutive of Latin aurea, "golden") is the radiance of luminous cloud which, in paintings of sacred personages, surrounds the whole figure. In the earliest periods of Christian art this splendour was confined to the figures of the persons of the Christian Godhead, but it was afterwards extended to the Virgin Mary and to several of the saints.
aureole or aureola Noun 1. a ring of light surrounding the head of a figure represented as holy; halo 2. the sun's corona, visible as a faint halo during eclipses [Latin aurum gold]
The aureola, when enveloping the whole body, generally appears oval or elliptical in form, but occasionally circular or quatrefoil.
The word quatrefoil etymologically means "four leaves", and applies to general four-lobed shapes in various contexts.
When it appears merely as a luminous disk round the head, it is called specifically a halo or nimbus, while the combination of nimbus and aureole is called a glory. The strict distinction between nimbus and aureole is not commonly maintained, and the latter term is most frequently used to denote the radiance round the heads of saints, angels or Persons of the Trinity."Ego Sum Lux Mundi" A Mandorla is a Vesica Piscis shaped aureola which surrounds the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary in traditional Christian art.[4] It is especially used to frame the figure of Christ in Majesty in early medieval and Romanesque art, as well as Byzantine art of the same periods. The term refers to the almond like shape: "mandorla" means almond nut in Italian. In icons of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the mandorla is used to depict sacred moments which transcend time and space, such as the Resurrection, Transfiguration, and the Dormition of the Theotokos. These mandorla will often be painted in several concentric patterns of color which grow darker as they come close to the center. This is in keeping with the church's use of Apophatic theology, as described by Dionysius the Areopagite and others. As holiness increases, there is no way to depict its brightness, except by darkness.interesting that "duck" in cricket means "zero", as "love" in tennis means no score... Says Frederick Goodman in his book Magical Symbols: "The 'halo', which is ultimately derived from the magical symbolism of the Egyptians ... is almost like a sun, and, symbolically speaking, may be considered to be the equivalent of a small and radiant sun, streaming forth spiritual light." Most Greek gods were not depicted with halos; Helios and his offspring seem to be the few who were.www.lope.ca/halo/ cool link

Interesting. Try over-lapping Paul so his face is completely one. Look what develops behind him. A coffin.

I thought there would be more people wanting to play with and post images. But so far, only the one image from another forum.
I will have to sit down at my son's computer and see if I can check out some other cover art.
The more I look at that image though, that little fireman figure, which seemed elusive to my eye at first, seems clear as day now. Him and the little executioner beneath him.
Others have suggested that the "Fireman" brings enlightenment, and not arguing that interpretation. But the little executioner brings to mind a different aspect of fire, which is the destructive side.
That reminds me of the Help! movie, where they are sacrificing to Kali. Isn't she a destructive godess, a destroyer who makes room for new things to be created?
I'm feeling like there is a very specific Fireman reference I'm still missing somewhere. I'm not as familiar with Hindu deities, maybe that why I'm just not grasping it yet.

I saw this cover are in the Klaatu thread. I noticed the little red planet to the left of the orb on the back cover - maybe another pivot point to try? Also, the squiggle of stars in the sky that appear to be a constellation or end of the Milky Way looks like an interesting shape.
