Beautiful picture; but a bit hard to read. Go ahead, do the math and then follow the directions and close your eyes. After a brief time, open them again and go to the bottom and read the notation. Doesn't make any sense does it? Wrong! The only point was to make you do something foolish; in other words... to trick you! You and I can be tricked, confused, and be victims of bait and switch much easier than we think possible. We are human beings and we need to realize that there are powers out there that dwarf our abilities. Then I thought of this passage from the New Testament...
WEB: II Corinthians Chapter 4
[1] Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint. [2] But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. [3] Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; [4] in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. [5] For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake; [6] seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

God will not trick you, deceive you, or give you mixed messages. Think about it; God sent his only son to die for us and that is serious business. So, you can trust HIM and rely on HIM to be honest and forthright at all times. There is no "gotcha" at the end of the story. He always wants you to keep your eyes open to see the truth. Look, really see Jesus for what he truly is and do what he says; you won't be sorry!!! As for the picture, ignore everything but the clouds because when you do you just may think of heaven. Think about it long enough and you will do whatever it takes to get there. End of story and the beginning of HOPE!!!!
