analog_warrior Posted November 30, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I saw this picture of a monk in protest in my history book and noticed odd things in it. In area 1 it looks like a head. In area 2 it looks like a person lunging upwards. And in area 3, I'm not sure but, it looks like Death. You decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminallyOdd Posted November 30, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You know, you can find faces pretty much anywhere if you look for them. It's called pareidolia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted November 30, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I can see a vague human like face in the flames in area 1, but only because it was pointed out by the OP. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it. The other two areas are just smoke. But I concur, that you can 'see' many interpretive objects, if you look at something the right way.

QUICKY Posted November 30, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You know when 911 happened. Well it was showing a bulding on fire and in the flames, my dad an i saw it exactly the same time, something that looked like the devil, like the devil you see in books and stuff. it might of been our imaginations playing triks, it might even of been edited for a sick joke before they showed it on the news. But it was still a bit weird : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magician72120 Posted December 1, 2005 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hmmm....I see bunny rabbits and butterflys........oh yeah, and a man Bar-B-Qing himself. I guess it really is the perception of the viewer. Weird.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted December 1, 2005 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2005 That picture is of a man being burned to death? Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted December 1, 2005 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2005 He set himself on fire, so its okay. I don't see any faces either. The way some people interpret these pics of smoke and fire, there are just masses of spirits or demons floating around whenever something burns.

Nirwana Posted December 2, 2005 #17 Share Posted December 2, 2005 So what did really happened to that monk? He0s on fire and seems to not feel a thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonb Posted December 2, 2005 #18 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) wasnt it a protest for the vietnam war, or somthing similar, he poured himself in gas, sat in a medatitive position and just sat there whilst he burned to death, amazing will power and state of mind to be able to do somthing like that. *wait got wires crossed here, he was a vietnamese born buddhist monk, who wanted to make an appeal to end religious repression in his country of birth.. http://www.news14charlotte.com/content/loc...D=49760&SecID=2 Edited December 2, 2005 by jonb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted December 2, 2005 #19 Share Posted December 2, 2005 So what did really happened to that monk? He0s on fire and seems to not feel a thing.. There are more pictures other than that one showing exactly how it went. He burned to death, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Umbarger Posted December 7, 2005 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I've seen this piture before. I can make out a numbre of small faces in the flames. I can also see faces in the decorative tiles of my bathroom floor! The only face in that picture that really matters is the one of the monk. He died in a way that I can't even imagine. He certainly suffered terribly before losing conciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriel Posted December 7, 2005 #21 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I don't really see faces. All I know is that this picture is used in the Rage Against The Machine self-titled album cover. And it's right that this monk burned to death as a form of protest against the Vietnam war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_kenshin Posted December 7, 2005 #22 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i fail to see any faces aswell, but there are several case's of monks burning themselves in protest during the vietnam war, shows how deep meditation can even remove the feeling of pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Tunacao Posted December 7, 2005 #24 Share Posted December 7, 2005 You look at smoke enough and you can see anything in it. It's not that much of a stretch to point out things that look like human faces or bodies. I for one didn't see anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
