Futurists argue the TOOL Band project is one of history's greatest satires. I don't want to say too much now about how they've achieved the synchronicity that they have. The premise is this: Some investment was required in order to achieve paradise. What constitutes paradise and when it will occur is "anyone's guess."
Well, anyway, pictures speak louder, so please consider:
Suppose that paradise is a concept -- an experience of conscious beings. The goal in every sense is a question of mind. (And ultimately a question of "conscience, or Ethical experience or knowledge). I'm not stating that perfectly -- I apologize. How and why conscience is the fundamental driving force is a challenge for our current language.
So, you may have already guessed the significance of the attached images. Certain religious figures have endured great suffering on behalf of humanity (see this interesting depiction of Jesus -- more about this representation some other time). Anyway, certain great religious, ethical, moral teachers, etc. have suffered and sacrificed for the sake of humanity and have inspired others to do the same. Others, most notably Indian Brahmin, Middle Eastern leaders and certain Asiatic dynasties have monopolized the resource generated by this suffering.
Observe the picture of the Brahmin. A correct depiction is of the Brahmin experiencing an omniscient, almost omnipotent bliss. Well, anyway, I've said too much. Listen carefully to TOOL band tracks, especially from "Opiate."
What does the manipulation or monopolization of particular resources imply? Well, again I've said too much. Can't quite think of how to conclude... I guess I'd just reiterate that careful consideration of subtleties could lead the TOOL Band fandom to very unusual conclusions about their music.
Why the fuck does the dude at bottom has a horse going up his arse ?
Odds are exactly 50%: it either happens or not

In all probability it is the famed Russian chariot from "The Brothers Karamazov," by Dostoyevsky. Liquid scholars would probably claim otherwise. In my estimation they would say, "It is a symbol of the Trail of Tears" (though this is deliberately vague). A final conjecture is that Alex Gray is an Eminem fan and is writing an ode to "Rap God" which concludes "Why be a King when you can be a god?" Thus the entire picture is founded in the Golden Rose at the base of a "Dark Tower." This being the ultimate symbol of King's magnum opus, etc.
Of course I am speaking pretty generally here, and there's some guesswork involved.
