Tool – Forty Six & 2 Lyrics 9 years ago
I realize this is fourteen years too late, but for the sake of anyone looking into the meaning behind the lyrics to one of TOOL's most arcane masterpieces, please take note:

Carl Jung != Drunvalo Melchizedek

The title of 46&2 and all the explanations you'll come across regarding chromosomal compositions and their supposed relation to the evolution of consciousness are originating from Melchizedek's books and teachings, not "the Jungian theory."

The only EXPLICIT reference to Jungian concepts in this song is where the narrator makes repeated references to his "shadow."

This is not the first time I've seen this online. Interpretations are fine, but please don't attribute this lunatic-fringe chromosome stuff to someone as amazing as Carl Gustav Jung.
