Weird thing I just noticed?

So, I dunno if I just didn't know about this, and everyone else does, but I was googling feng shui and look at what I found:




At first, I thought I just found a random picture where someone was making a weird Dharma logo for fun, but if you google feng shui yourself, and do an image search, you will see that there are many different pictures like this! Why are the lines exactly the same???

What do those lines mean? Why are they on all the Dharma logos?

The writers have drawn heavily upon Buddhism and other Eastern religions. The term Dharma is ancient.

Here are some links to check out. Some of the symbols should look familiar to Losties.

Dharma Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma
Noble Eightfold path: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path
Dharmachakra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmacakra

That's cool. I love those connections. You should also read the book 'Be Here Now' for some other stuff like that. It-just-kicks.

Bagua, it is a symbol that has been pointed to and discussed several times.

Be Here Now is written by Dr.Richard Alpert. I have a copy and it is for sure an influence on the show. Sorry to link to a LT post, but I tried posting here and it doesn't like all the pasting.

Those lines are also round the Korean flag.

Yep, but around ancient Korean flag. That's something I noticed since The Swan Station appeared, and that's why I started suspecting Mr. Paik could be behind Dharma... or at least the "dark side" of Dharma.

Take a look at this:

Never seen that before, Occam. Interesting stuff.

More about it here. In case you're interested.

wow good find +1

You have a fine looking family there DocOc. Has anyone told you that?

and also this, the particle accelerator at C.E.R.N

Been pouring over that TIME archive, Solar?

Oh, that thingy that's going to open a wormhole that destroys the earth.

Looks like a decagon.

I commented on this post on L-T. And I bought this book after reading it. I feel also that there is a lot in it that seems to have to have been an influence to Lost. It is a book I highly recommend.

Very perceptive Cagey! TIME rocks!

it does look a bit 'Deccy' Shams, I hadn't noticed until you said! 10 is as good as 8! LOL

You sure that isn't the portal into Imaginationland?

My brain is very comparative to the Twilight Zone, so I think you are onto something there SomeArtzey!

Actually, I was referring to this place:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginationland

Darker and twisteder (it's a word, don't bother looking it up) than The Twilight Zone.

Someartzey, the link didn't come up, I'll check back lataz.

Added a link under the picture (if the picture comes up for you), that way you can read all about it too.

I did not pick up on Imaginationland at first.

Oh no... does that mean Man-Bear-Pig is on the Island!

And Scuzzlebutt.

And the Woodland Creatures...

I'm super serial, man-bear-pig IS out there, under the smoke.

No, seriously though, thanks to those of you that checked out my "Be Here Now" link. Eventually I'll put it in here, but it seems that this site doesn't like me to paste a lot, so I'm thinking of revamping it and adding on, as well as talk about more thing's I've noticed in there.

Keep your eyes peeled!
