| I think its about the reality itself, like theres more beyond our understanding and the Sublime may give us limitless knowledge by destroying our limitations of understanding | |

| Drug would work - If the band itself had not said that NONE of their songs or lyrics now are refering to Drugs. So that throws drugs out of the question. | |

| Exactly led_zeppelin_xxx I don't know what this means either. But I've read or heard somewhere that this small section of silence is for the listener to reflect on the album and what they've just heard. | |

| yeah, but what do the numbers mean? i only got into mudvayne when happy came out and i was getting more into metal, but do their numbers have some symbolism to the band, like slipknot? or religion? i dunno, like i said, a MuDvAyNe "noob" of sorts lol | |

| cont. (again) ok i think i may be wrong about the "prelude" or intro to Dig, i'm starting to second guess myself, because i think it was talking about evolution, and having a symbiotic relation to a mushroom or something, so i talk that part of the comment out | |

| I think this is about not having boundries.I got the dvd with this cd and in the interview Chad repeatedly talked about not having any boundries in the band or on the album. | |

| i was looking around and found out that the numbers when simplified become 11:11 which is religious to some and is linked to the end of all things | |

| That's the surface meaning... I think drugs would be too obvious and typical though... You're not off base though... I think that may act as a gateway... Would explain the whole part of "seen by ones self not as an act of destruction" implying destruction may in fact be a result of the action. The drug reference well, actually fits right in with what I said minus the drug interpretation...cool... | |

| but how does 12.97.24.99 simplify to be come 11:11?? http://www.1111spiritguardians.com/ check this site, its i guess the idea behind 11:11.... a theory, if you will.... and what relevance would it have with the text in the book (i think that they also say it in the begining of ld50 right before dig) -Cory | |

| While I haven't actually looked into that translation, I believe that what this message is stating, is expansion and creation are forever subjected to further understanding that requires complacence in ones self in order to elevate and project ourselves into a new wave of discovery. Therefore not destruction, but an awakening. Within yourself. No longer restricted to the perils of the unborn. Excellence and the loss a limitation to permission and self given vantage achieved through the time that is given for understanding, allowing yourself to break your own boundaries continually in an unending process. Sorry I went a bit in depth. Seems a bit repetitive and out of order to me, the translation that is...but that's what I took from it. | |

| hmm i had to break out the dictionary on this one, i paraphrased it mabey to make it a little easier to understand The (elevated, celestial) destroys The boundaires of (being finite, having boundaries) (This cancels out, being sublime eliminatesthe boundaries of having boundaries) Yet this (occurence, circumstance) Is seen by the self (percieved by the thing that is sublime) not as an act of destruction but rather, as a kind of elevation (like a high) and liberation For it is the feeling of (infinetness, no boundaries) Which it now discovers Within itself that it may enjoy a new experience Within it's own boundlessness personally, i think this is about drugs. I think the "sumblime" is referring to some kind of high,because when you are high, you feel "boundless" like nothing can hold you down and everything is okay. So you are in a state of infiniteness, and in that state you may find things out about yourself that would have been hard to find when you were sober. | |

| I know the the blank space is there to allow the user to reflect on the ablum and take in what tey have just heard..And to posible takin atll that text in. I see it as saying, That to really grow we must tear down our boundaries, mental or phyiscal....Infinite knowlege or growth can not be attained in a finit shell. | |
