that looks like our kitchen linoleum from when I was a kid.

Now, that explains your incredible insights, Ms. MC!

Actually, to answer the original question, I do believe that is the correct and entire picture.  I think it was on the back of an album cover of The Moody Blues’ album, ‘In Search Of the Lost Chord’.

Evidently, they did not get too enlightened, because if I remember right, they all ended up suing each other.

Dan, wondering if Timothy Leary is really dead

He’s merely in an altered state. . .

Altered States.  I think I’ve seen that movie.  Can’t remember Timothy leary in it though.

Well, of course you do not remember T. Leary in the movie, his state was just ‘way way way’ altered…....

Dan, bringing enlightenment everywhere, usually when he leaves

Possibly, I know my state was pretty altered when I watched it.  (love those cheap non-prescription pharmaceuticals)

It’s a pretty picture drawn using only circles.  Why does it have to be anything more than that?  Why must it be sacred or mystical?

I believe,the COMPLETE ancient flower of life is an interdimensional tool,a portal,a link back to awareness of the universal consciousness(god,the creator,the collective unconscious or whatever you would like to call it).  The universal consciousness we were all part of before we entered this material world.  The original flower is incomplete because it is only the first layer of three.  The complete flower has the other two layers added,making it three dimensional.  If you relax(sit three feet away from the screen)and let the flower slowly draw your eyes out of focus,the flower will open.  Try and not focus on any one point,blankly stare,take the flower in as a whole.  Do not strain your eyes,as it will happen naturally.  We do not see with our eyes,we see THROUGH our eyes.  Let your mind focus,dont fight it.  You may get a headache and itchy eyes,this will quickly disappear.  This is not a known science,but if you let it happen,you will be supprised by what appears.  4love and light 2all x (Use the hand drawn flower from the blog) The complete ancient flower of life is not a stereogram,a magic eye image or any other man made optical illusion.

Well I stared at it for a very long time and apparently the universal conciousness has a headache.

Perhaps if it took two pan-galactic aspirin and had some bed rest it might begin to feel better, which can only be good for us all.

And sorry to disappoint you, andy, but this is the true flower of life!

Note that you can actually see the higher dimensions pushing their way through when you look at it.

(Note also that this is about the limit of what Powerpoint can achieve!)

David: you don’t want to know what I think I see opening when I stare at THAT picture long enough….

When I think of the flower of life I think of something else entirely, but then my mind has been corrupted.
