"The Symbolism and Spiritual Significance of the

Number Nine"
By Dee Finney
and others as named

1-13-00 - DREAMS - It seems that rather than dreams, I was having more or less a
series of ideas, most of which I can't even remember now except for this which
wasn't even a dream. I heard a distinct voice say: "9 tribute"

Another dream was that of some vague step shape pushing everything else aside
to make room for itself. That just kept repeating and repeating. It now seems like it
was a series of steps with 9 boxes in it.

Another dream was reminding me of things I had seen yesterday to make a web
page out of. It'll have a simple name. "nine.htm"

Lyrics to Music

Early this morning, while meditating on the number nine, I was reminded of the
numbers 153 and 72 which will have their own pages. Recall that there are 72
names of God and 108 Goddesses, both divisible by 9.

As I woke up, I heard a voice say, "Remember! Shekinah the Light of the World!"

Besides that, I am presented with a special challenge and that is that a dear friend
of ours has already done a book and web page on this subject titled, "The Secret of
Nine". His name is Gary Val Tenuta. So, I'll dedicate this page with love to him and
try not to step all over his toes. :-)

We all recall this great cliche I'm sure:

"A stitch in time saves nine". Anybody
ever wonder why the stitch saves nine
instead of 6 or 3 instead?

Or why they say cats have nine lives?

The first thing that comes to mind is a crop circle I wrote about the other day on
this page: "THE MOST IMPORTANT CROP CIRCLE ". One of the glyphs is this
one:

Field Report
Located directly below the famous White Horse of Oldbury Camp, or more
commonly named Cherhill Hill Fort, is one of the finest formations to have
appeared in the Avebury area this year.

Its appearance came within a flurry of reports that hit the area between the 15th of
July to the 17th. The entire week was one of the quietest we have experienced at
this time of year, but none of us expected such an amazing amount of formations
within just a few days.

The Cherhill formation incorporates a design, which has similar elements to

previous formations in the general area. We are looking at a much smaller pattern
to what appeared at Hackpen Hill a few weeks earlier, but the central section of the
Cherhill design includes a number of crescents creating a vortex, which is also
present within the Hackpen formation.

The floor constructions on these years formations have been extremely

impressive, and Cherhill was no exception. The pattern around the triangular
sections on the outside of the vortex flowed in two directions between each
interlocking triangle. This is a feature seen on many designs over the years, but the
Cherhill formation incorporated a separate pattern positioned just off the main
design. This shape is not the first time to have appeared; it was first seen on the
Silverstone formation in Derbyshire back in 1998. It includes a small fork with a
swirled central circle with standing crop, and a small tail at the end. On closer
inspection of this small pattern, it contained an extremely important detail, which
needs to be published. Looking at the central swirled section with the standing crop
placed in the middle, on the outer edge of the standing stems, there were about 8-
10 stalks, which were completely bent over at the very top of the plant. Not only
that, but the stems themselves had discoloured to a brownish colour, which
resulted in the seed head being completely dehydrated, with about half and inch of
stem included.

On the standing walls surrounding the formation, and the small feature pattern, we
could not find any evidence of the same effect, it was only concentrated on that
small standing centre. A very interesting detail, which I am confident, has not been
seen before. It maybe just as mysterious as the Dead Flies found by Janet
Ossebaard, but what was so uncanny, is that Janet also discovered this new detail
in the Cherhill formation, only a field away from her Dead Flies discovery in 1998.

What an amazing formation to photograph and report on, its positioned in the field
quite beautifully, with the White Horse as a wonderful backdrop. On walking around
the formation, you experience a feeling of peace, very similar to walking into a
church. This feeling has been present on many formations around this area, and I
am sure its about positioning in the landscape which is having a direct effect upon
the individual.

Comments about the Nine Pointed Star

NINE
The Ennead "flows around the other numbers within the Dekad like an ocean."
Nichomachus of Gerasa
Multiplying by nine reveals a mirror symmetry among numbers. If any number is
multiplied by nine the resulting digits always add to nine. For example 2 x 9 = 18; 3
x 9 = 27, 4 x 9 = 36 and so on. Thus, the Hebrews referred to nine as the symbol of
immutable Truth.
The Ennead, or nine pointed star, is an ancient and sacred symbol. It comprises
three trinities. The Egyptian, Celtic, Greek and Christian myths all have an ennead
of nine gods and goddesses, representing the entire archetypal range of principles.
The magic square is also considered sacred and full of power in the Islamic,
Tibetan, Buddhist, Celtic, Indian and Jewish traditions. A magic square is when
each number is used only once, but the horizontal, vertical and diagonal sums are
all equal. The Chinese have patterned their architectural temples along the
harmonious principles of the magic square.
Gurdjieff also uses it, called the Enneagram. This system is very old, and is
believed to have originated with the Sufis in the Middle East. It groups people into
nine types ('ennea' is Greek for the number nine.) The system teaches that people
in a given type often behave and react in similar ways. Personality Types
MU and the Enneagram - An Explanation
Nine Pointed Star symbolize the Fruits of the Spirit
The Bahai's also use the 9 pointed star as their symbol

As they say, "That said!" here are a series of dreams in which the number nine
was important:

1-29-90 - DREAM - I was given two wheels of wood with nine objects embedded in
them in the shape of a cross, one was gold and one was silver.

I either had the same dream again, or I was given two more of these wheels.

6-1-98 - DREAM - I was seeing a web page and they showed me the symbols
which meant "Shekinah - Dolores". There were 4 pastel colored symbols _ _OA (I
can't remember the other two) Then they showed me another symbol. They said,
"You are Shekinah - Dolores...almost" and I saw a crystal square dish with raised
sides. (It resembled a 9" square glass baking dish)
6-1-98 - DREAM - I was at an airport. I seemed like we lived there. The ceilings
were really high, but there was a living area with trees and plants and other
furniture and my daughter and her children were there also.

I was looking out the window at a large passenger plane coming in and a small jet
came in at a slightly different angle. The large plane turned sharply to avoid the
obvious crash of the two planes. Then, a strange thing happened, the small jet
shape-shifted and became cartoonish and bent it's nose over to avoid the crash. It
then shape-shifted several more times as it seemed to play with the big plane and
it bend and darted around the big plane. I was still standing there watching this
happen and it all evaporated in a "poof" and in its place was a huge dark green
...almost black government helicopter which had created a hologram of the two
planes.

When we saw the government helicopter we became terrified that it had seen
us.We must have flipped off the lights because it was suddenly dark. I sat down
quickly at a table and put my arms over my head.
The helicopter turned on a spotlight and showed it around the room looking for
people. Everyone was hidden. The lights swept over me, but I didn't know if it saw
me or not.

When the helicopter left, my daughter (who was her real adult age) jumped up,
turned on the light and ran over to the corner of the room. She began pulling on a
dark screen which eventually ran all around the room walls from floor to ceiling. (It
did not block the ceiling or the floor) I noted that 4 trees against the wall were left
on the outside of the screen, but some other objects in the room which were in the
way of pulling out the screen, there was a door in the screen that these things were
able to slip past so they were inside the screened area.

We continued to pull this screen down a long hallway area which seemed like a
mall. On the outside of the screen sat my mother and her sisters on a bench. (all
are deceased except my mother). We pulled the screen down to a shop on the
corner which was run by all Polish women. They were all terrified of the
government helicopter as well and as we pulled the screen through their area, they
began packing up everything in boxes as they didn't want our government to see
all the things they had handcrafted.

I looked at what they were packing up and on the table were numerous ceramic
jungle animals, elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, tiger, antelope, etc. I thought to
myself, "these are all commonplace animals, why do they think they have to protect
them?"

I then saw a box of jewels which were strung on necklaces. I wanted one
desperately. I bent over the box and tried to stuff the largest tear drop shaped
diamond down the front of my shirt but it didn't fit. I couldn't see any opening in the
front of my yellow shirt to put it through, so I ended up selecting a smaller one, less
perfect and bumpy, it seemed and pushed it down my shirt where it buttoned at the
throat.

We got everything packed up then went and sat in the livingroom, playing with my
daughter's children. I was holding her youngest daughter Gabrielle on my lap when
we heard a loud droning sound. We looked out the window and saw a UFO shaped
object coming towards the house. It was barely above the treetops and coming
downward. My daughter said, "It's not normal for them to come so low!" I was
thinking that it reminded me of advertising blimps because it was so colorful and
shiny. It was glinting colors of red, white, and blue.

My daughter said, "Don't let my daughter see it, and I clutched the baby on my lap,
within my arms and bend my head low over her to hide her.

The UFO made a second pass over the house and then it left and I saw up again,
and held the baby up, saying, "She seems just like a doll!" She didnt' seem real
anymore.
I then got really hungry and decided to go out and get some donuts. I was going to
have to walk, but another girl who was getting ready for work and dressed up in a
neat suit-dress said she would drive me there and drop me off. I thanked her for
offering the ride. Then the woman said, "Yes! I have to get there by 8 a.m. and we
looked at the clock and it was actually almost nine o'clock. We had lost almost one
hour of missing time.

NOTE: On 6-5-98, a news report came out that there had been 20 major misses of
two jet aircraft reported from January thru April. The government said that the air
controllers had to undergo 10 hours of training within the next month to counteract
the danger.

12-30-99 - DREAM - I was at a school, which was made of grey stone. It seemed
to be a school for adults and I was one of the teachers. I participated in some kind
of ceremony. I don't know how this was accomplished, but there were 8 glossy
black cards, each with a man wearing a red cape that was floor length on the back,
facing away... so you saw only his back and the cape, not his face. The cards were
placed such:

I I I

I I I

I I

In the ceremony, the man in the red cape made broad sweeping arm gestures
which were accompanied by sound of perhaps a trumpet or something that
sounded like a trumpet. Only the bottom two cards were sounded in this particular
ceremony. The one on the left corner had three arm movements and three sounds.
The one on the right had two arm movements and two sounds. One could assume
from that that the other cards had arm movements and sound also, starting with
nine on the upper left, ending with the two on the bottom right. There was no card
in the number one position.

After the ceremony, I was talking in a quiet conversation with another female
teacher and kinda choked on a word and made a sound that ended with a 'isht'
sound, then continued the sentence. Afterwards, I discovered that one of the male
teachers had tape recorded this whole thing, the ceremony, plus my conversation
and intended to give it to a radio broadcast station. He was telling others that I had
said a 'bad' word ending in 'isht' perhaps there is such a word in a foreign
language. However, I had not said a word, only cleared my throat and I became
irate that he was going to do this terrible deed to defame me. So, I went into the
classroom where he sat surrounded by other male teachers. I confronted him and
demanded that he give me the audio tape with my voice on it. I was very assertive
and said, "Give me the tape NOW!" His face blanched white when he knew that I
had heard what he had done. I held out my hand to receive the tape, and he took
one of the five audio tapes he held in one hand and gave it to me.
I then discovered that this same man could have made a video of the ceremony
because there was an upper level overlooking the room where the ceremony was
done, and I recognized my classroom when I was up there looking through the
overlooking window. I pointed this out to another female teacher.

I then went into another room on the first level to change back into my street
clothes. There was a pass-through window and my music teacher from high school
was standing on the other side of it. (I note here that he played the trumpet in a
band and was pretty famous in our home town. He also led a marching band and
was the drum major for it. Perhaps he was the man in the cape in the ceremony.) I
touched his shoulder so he knew I was standing there, and thanked him for
standing up for me. He smiled in acknowledgement, but then when I was changing
clothes, he tried to watch, so I had to hide so he wouldn't see me without my outer
garments on.

In the classroom, I had worn a heavy woolen suit with a jacket and skirt, the color
which was like stone tan/beige. That was not suitable for street wear. One could
say it was like a professional uniform of the school.

NOTE: Who is the man in the red cape?

NOTE: I came across this... after I had the dream:

"According to this theory, the magical name of Jesus was composed of the same
Four Hebrew letters as Tetragrammaton, but with one letter added in the middle,
the Hebrew letter Shin...The Fivefold Name, 'IHShWH', which can be rendered into
English as 'Yeheshuah,' was held by the Christian kabalists of the Renaissance to
have deprived Tetragrammaton of all its power, even as Jesus Christ had
supplanted the jealous God of the Hebrews (which he didn't) and the Gospels had
displaced the Old Testament (which they haven't).

This view was first explicitly set forth by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-94) in
his seminal seventy-two Conclusions on the kabbalah, published in 1486. In the
fourteenth conclusion, he argued that the insertion of the shin into Tetragrammaton
represents the descent of the fiery holy Spirit into the fourfold realm of matter--the
incarnation of God in human flesh. Pico held that the addition of the Sh made the
previously ineffable IHWH pronounceable.

This premise was defended by the first great non-Jewish kabalist Johannes
Reuchlin (1455-1522) in his highly influential work De Verbo Merifico (On the
Wonder Working Word)...and his later work De Arte Cabalistica (On the Science of
the Kabbalah)...Reuchlin held that with the birth of Jesus, the name of the Four
letters had been rendered powerless, its abilities to cause miracles having passed
into the name Jesus. This is why in the Gospels the name of Jesus has such force
in casting out demons...and healing the sick. By using the holy tongue, Hebrew,
and the numerical methods of the kabbalah, Reuchlin maintained that the truths of
Christian doctrine could be proved and, more than this, that all occult secrets could
be laid bare...

Hence Christ saith, 'whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give
you;' and after his resurrection saith, 'In my name they shall cast out devils'...so
that the name of Four letters is no longer necessary, the whole virtue thereof being
translated into the name Jesus...Neither is there any other (as Peter saith) under
heaven given unto men, by which they may be saved." Tetragrammaton, pp. 47-49.

Elijah and the Holy Name

Numerologically speaking, the number nine is the transition number. It is the last
period of work before the end and starting over.

In the hierarchy of events to come, I find this to be said:

There is an electro-magnetic null zone creates of vacuum area in

space which changes the magnetic forces of creation. The Councils
which oversee this particular creation are helping us to make this
transition so that those who wish to become more Christ-like will be
assisted into the upward spiral of Light while those who are not
interested in making this change will be allowed to leave through the
old 'technology of death'.

The Councils in charge of this transition are the Council of Nine which
governs our local universe, the Council of Twelve which governs new
programs of creation, and the Council of 144 which oversees the spiritual
Hierarchies.

I received this e-mail from Gary Val Tenuta when I was working on the web page
for the Miami Circle Sacred Site in 1999:

Helena Blavatsky speaks of BELIAL thusly:

Belial is not entitled to the distinction of either god or devil. The term , BELIAL, is
defined in the Hebrew lexicons to mean a destroying, waste, uselessness; or the
phrase AIS-BELIAL or Belial-man signifies a wasteful, useless man. If Belial must
be personified to please our religious friends, we would be obliged to make him
perfectly distinct from Satan, and to consider him as a sort of spiritual "Diakka."
The demonographers, however, who enumerate nine distinct orders of daimonia,
make him chief of the third class -- a set of hobgoblins, mischievous and good-for-
nothing.

From a Catholic web page we find this:

"'For all the gods of the people are idols ('ellim, LXX daimonia), but
Jehovah made the heavens" (Ps. 96:5; XX 95:5). This is the classic
passage identifying demons with idols, and suggesting demonism as
the dynamic of idolatry. Hebrew 'ellim, the plural of the adjective
meaning 'of nought, empty, vain,' shows plainly the idols are 'mere
nothing,' non-realities. The demons behind them are the real
existences"(2)

"It is clear that the shedhim are not only identified with idolatrous
images, who are denied all reality as gods, but at the same time are
separated from them, as being real spiritual existences behind them,
energizing their worship. The same double aspect is to be noted in
the passage in the Psalms, where, falling again into idolatry, the
 Israelites are said to have 'sacrificed their sons and their daughters
unto demons (daimonia, Shedhim) . . . . unto the idols of Canaan'
(Ps. 106:7-38). The 'idols of Canaan' are the inanimate idolatrous
representatives, the visible means of deception. The 'demon'
(shedhim) are the real spiritual entities inspiring the perverted
worship."(3)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rather than get off into the really negative, if you are interested in the
doctrine of demons, you can read about them here in the Grace
Notes

And Plato writes of Socrates being accused of daimonia in his

Apology

The Christian church has done a disservice to many misunderstood issues

which Helena Blavatsky writes about on her page on Elementals

When we take a close look at creation, we see that everything is mathematically

related so even if one doesn't like math in school, one cannot get away from fact.
Joseph Campbell, our favorite mythologist has this to say in his book "The Inner
Reaches of Outer Space" - Metaphor As Myth And As Religion:

"Some notion of the whole, profoundly conceived, macro-microcosmic import may

be gained from a consideration of the mathematics of the mythological and actual
cycles of the calendars of the rites of various ancient peoples. For example, in the
Hindu sacred epics and puranas (popular tellings of ancient lore), the number of
years reckoned to the present cycle of time, the so-called Kali Yuga, is 432,000,
the number reckoned to the "great cycle" (mahayuga) within which this yuga falls
being 4,320,000. But then reading one day in the Icelandic Eddas, I discovered
that in Othin's (Wotan's) warrior hall, Valholl, there were 540 doors, through each of
which, on the "Day of the Wolf" (that is to say, at the end of the present cycle of
time), there would pass 800 divine warriors to engage the antigods in a battle of
mutual annihilation. (800 x 540 - 432,000.) And so I asked myself how it might ever
have come to pass that in tenth-to-thirteenth century Iceland the same number of
years were reckoned to the present cycle of time as in India.

In Babylon, I then recalled, there had been a Chaldean priest Berossos, who, c.
280 BC, had rendered in Greek an account of the history and mythology of
Babylonia, wherein it was told that between the time of the rise of the first city,
Kish, and the coming of the Babylonian mythological flood (from which that of the
Bible is taken), there elapsed 432,000 years , during which antediluvian era, ten
kings reigned. Very long lives! Longer even than Methuselah's (Genesis 5:27),
which had been of only 969.
When counting the begats of the Patriarchs from Adam to Noah and the first drop
of rain came to 1656 years. Any relation to 432,000? Julius Oppert, a
distinguished Jewish Assyriologist of the last century, (written in 1986) in 1877
presented before the Royal Society for Sciences in Gottingen a paper on "Dates in
Genesis" in which it was shown that in 1656 years there are 86,400 seven-day
weeks. 86,400 divided by 2 = 43,200.

And so, it appears that in the Book of Genesis there are two contrary theologies
represented in relation to the legend of the Deluge. One is the old tribal, popular
tale of a willful, personal creator-god, who saw that "the wickedness of man was
great in the earth . . . and was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, "I will blot out man whom I have created
from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the
air, for I am sorry that I have made them' " (Genesis 6:5-7).

The other idea, which is in fundamental contrast, is that of the disguised number,
86,400, which is a deeply hidden reference to the Gentile, Sumero-Babylonian,
mathematical cosmology of the ever-revolving cycles of impersonal time, with
whole universes and their populations coming into being, flowering for a season of
43,200 (43,200 or 4,320,000) years, dissolving back into the cosmic mother-sea to
rest for an equal spell of years before returning, and so again, and again, and
again. The Jews, it will be remembered, were for fifty years exiled from their
Capital to Babylon (586-539 BC), when they were subject, willy, nilly, to Babylonian
influences, so that although the popular, exoteric version of their Deluge legend is
from the period of David's kingdom, tenth century or so BC, the exquisitely
secreted indication of priestly knowledge, beyond that, of a larger, cyclic version of
the legend - where the god himself would have come into being and gone out of
being with the universe of which he was the lord - is post-Exilic, as are, also , the
genealogical datings of Genesis Chapter 5, which are so very nicely contrived to
join the 600 years of Noah's age at the time of the Flood to furnish a total exactly of
1656.

It is to be noticed, by the way, that 1+6+5+6 = 18, which is twice 9, while 4+3+2=9:
9 being a number traditionally associated with the Goddess Mother of the World
and its gods. In India the number of recited names in a litany of this goddess is
108. 1_-0_8=99, while 108 x 4-432.

In Roman Catholic Europe, when the Angelus tolls (at morning, noon, and
evening), it ring 3+3+3 and then 9 times, in celebration of the Virgin's conception of
the Savior. The recited prayer at those junctures, "The Angel of the Lord declared
unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Ghost . . . and THE WORD WAS MADE
FLESH . . ." is in recognition of this miracle at the opening of a new world age.

In ancient Greece, 9 was the number of the Muses, patron goddesses of the arts.
They were the daughters of Mnemosyne ("memory"), the source of imagination,
which in turn is the carrier of archetypal, elementary ideas to artistic, realization in
the field of space-time.
The number 9, that is to say, relates traditionally to the Great Goddess of Many
Names (Devi, Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Artemis, Venus, etc.) as matrix of the cosmic
process, whether in the macrocosm or in a microcosmic field of manifestation. The
reason for the suppression of her image by a clergy interested in the claims only of
a divinity heavily bearded, therefore, can be readily surmised; but why the same
company of priestly doctors so artfully concealed in their document an
unmistakable notice of their own knowledge of her power awaits interpretation.

The profundity and sublime majesty of the suppressed mythology can be

appreciated best by way of two apparently unrelated clocks, one, the ultimate clock
of outer space, and the other of inner space - respectively, the astronomical
precession of the equinoxes and the physiological beat of the human heart.

Regarding the first; the slow westward motion, in the course of years, of the
equinoctial points around the beltway of the zodiac (the vernal equinox, for
example, moving from the sign of Aries, where it had been before the birth of
Christ, through Pisces, where it is now, toward Aquarius, where it will be in a
couple hundred years )

NOTE: that date is highly controversial: See AQUARIUS and AGES

This complete cycle of the twelve zodiacal signs exactly 25,920 years, which term
is known as a "great" or "Platonic" year. But if we divide 25,920 by 60 (which is the
ancient Mesopotamian soss, or basic segesimal unit of astronomical
measurement, still used in the measurement of circles whether of time or of
space), the quotient is 432. Moreover: 2+5+9+2+0 = 18.

And regarding the second, the inward clock: I have read in a popular book on
physical education that "A conditioned man, who exercises regularly, will have a
resting heart rate of about 60 beats per minute or less . . . Sixty per minute time 60
minutes, equals 3600 beats per hour. Times 24 hours, equals 86,400 beats a day.

NOTE: In another article read just moments ago, it was stated that the heart rests
in between beats for 9 hours a day.

It is strange that in our history books, the discovery of the precession of the
equinoxes should be attributed always to the Greek Hipparchus, second century
BC, when the magic number 432 (which when multiplied by 60 produces 25,920)
was already employed in the reckoning of major cycles of time before that century.
"

See: The Code of the Ancients

Along with this subject comes this fitting dream:

9-13-98 - DREAM - The dream started out with a vision of a clock-like symbol
which resembled a rounded diamond-like shape with the largest point up, down,
and to both sides. These points all had feminine names. There was a dark man
involved also to prevent us from getting all the way around the Zodiac clock.

I woke up and went back into a dream in which I was at home at my 16th St.
house. It was going to rain and I rushed inside the house to get a gauge to hang up
to measure the rain because the prediction was for 71 inches of rain.

I hung up the first part of the gauge which was a rectangle-like block plaque with a
slot on it on which I balanced what looked like a small book which looked like a
diary to keep records in. There was a name written on the book. (I can't remember
what it was) A strong mist began to fall as I rushed back to the house to get the
gauge tube and my mother held open the door for me because I had to hurry if I
was going to catch all of the rain which I knew was going to get a lot heavier.

End of Dream

Sounds rather Deluge-like to me!!!!

Pacal VOTAN was the Mayan prophet who lived in the seventh century of this
Christian era between the years 631 and 683. It took nine years after 683, when he
disincarnated, to build the nine-leveled Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, and
at the bottom of the temple in his tomb. His tomb was dedicated in the year 692.
When the departure of the Maya took place in 830 A.D. at the end of the tenth
baktun, no one knew about that tomb any longer.

The History of Palenque

The Mayan Calendar

 Shadow of the Seven Triangles

On the equinoxes, the Sun crosses a center point and makes an exact 90-degree
angle directly over the Pyramid of Ku'Kulkan (El Castillo) at the sacred site of
Chichen Itza on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula (a place that represents the turtle's
head on the continent known as Turtle Island or North America).

The Castillo is part of the Mayan calender's Path of the Sun (solar calendar) with 4
stone stairways of 91 steps each plus an upper platform for a total of 365. The
Maya had an 18-base for their mathematics and 18 months in a year. The pyramid
has nine levels divided by the staircases or 18. The relationship of the Sun to the
Earth at this sensitive point creates the phenomenon of the dramatic Shadow of
the Seven Triangles, shadow triangles projected on the north staircase with
serpent heads at the base. The triangles undulate in an ascending fashion in
March and descend during the fall equinox.

Following 360-day Maya solar calendar are five "nameless days." The New Year
started after this five-day period, a time unfit for work; a time for ceremony when
the old world is symbolically destroyed and a new one created. These 5 days are
considered unlucky days comparable to the time of chaos before creation and
before world order was established. Ancient Egypt also commemorated these 5
days. Coincidentally(?), on the first of these five days both the Egyptian grain god,
Osiris, and the Mayan grain god, Hun Hunahpu, were born.

Mayan, Prophecy of the End of the Great Cycle

UXMAL - The Great Pyramid

Originally nine levels high, the Great Pyramid has been partially restored. It seems
that another temple was to be superimposed on the existing structure and some
demolition had taken place before the plans were halted, leaving the pyramid in
bad condition.

(Aztec) Mictlantecuhtli's wife who helped govern the nine layers of the underworld
and its nine rivers.

Mictlantecuhtli

(Aztec) Creator and ruler of the underworld (Mictlan).

If we examine Maya inscriptions, we find evidence that implies an understanding of

the Fibonacci numbers. The ancient Mesoamericans viewed the cosmos as a
layered universe. The heavens were conceived of as thirteen in number, with the
earth included as the first layer. There was also a nine-layered underworld,
beginning with the earth again as the first layer. This is depicted on page 2 of the
Codex Vaticanus A.65 This is one of the examples of the use of the Fibonacci
numbers 8, 13 and 21. There are 21 "worlds," when the earth is "counted" twice as
the first world. (We note that the number one appears twice at the beginning of the
Fibonacci series). There is evidence that the Maya also expressed the day as
having 13 hours of daylight (the Thirteen Birds of the Day) and 9 hours of darkness
(The Nine Lords of the Night).

Most relevant for our discussion here, there is the 260-day calendar, which is
based on Fibonacci numbers. There have been many theories that attempt to
explain the origins of the 260-day cycle, and most of them show the connection
with natural cycles. For example, the cycle of seed-to-harvest for certain types of
corn grown in Guatemala is about 260 days. In the Dresden Codex, there are 258
days between Venus rising as an evening star and its emergence as a morning
star, a period which correlates with the Aztec myth of Quetzacoatl's journey to the
underworld. Perhaps the most significant correspondence is the period of human
gestation. Nine lunar months are approximately equal to 260 days. One Mayan
scholar discovered that some modern Mayan people explicitly state the human
gestation period as the explanation for the origin of the tzolkin.

There is much evidence that multiples of 364 days, particularly 20 x 364, were
used by the Maya. The quantity 20 x 819 (or 45 x 364 = 16,380 days) was also
used. The 819 days is equivalent to three tzolkins (39 veintenas) plus 39 days (or
20 x 41, minus one), which means it could function as a "footstep." In 819 days, the
trecena coefficient and that of the Lord of the Night (a multiple of nine) remains the
same, but the day name (and the kin coefficient in the Long Count) drops by one

The Ruins of Temples Found in Bimini, Bahamas

The ruins of temples dated at 12,000 years old have been found near Bimini,
Bahamas. Preliminary analysis has revealed that the original structures, although
smaller in size than the Great Pyramid of Giza, appear to have been more
advanced. Casing stones have been measured which are of the same unique
angle as those at the Great Pyramid.

The ruins are megalithic and bear a remarkable resemblance to ancient sites in
Egypt. So called "quarry marks" found in the Aswan quarries and also on the Great
Pyramid, itself, appear to be identical matches with those found on the Bimini
temple stones. Other characteristics closely match features at megalithic sites in
Peru, the Yucatan, Ireland and Scandinavia. The stones are already drawing
international attention and aggressive research and analysis projects are being set
up which hope to commence more involved investigations shortly.

Analysis of these enigmatic ancient temples built near Bimini over 12,000 years
ago has only just begun. Although many maps of the heavenly realm adorn various
walls of these mysterious Bimini temples, there is an almost complete lack of other
markings. Of the limited glyphs that do exist, however, several match those found
in the famous Altamira Cave in Spain which contains the well-known bison
painting. In addition, there are exact orbital plots of the planets and what seem to
have been intricate star shafts, metal-coated walls, and intermingled stones of
various colors. (including red, white, and black.)

Preliminary analysis has revealed that the original structures, although smaller in
size, appear to have been more advanced than the Great Pyramid of Giza. Casing
stones have been measured which are of the same unique angle as those at the
Great Pyramid.

Other characteristics either closely match or are identical to features at megalithic

sites in Peru, Mexico, the Yucatan, Ireland, and Scandinavia.

It appears that the most important or revered numbers associated with these ruins
were the numbers five and nine. These numbers were also of great significance to
the ancients of Egypt and Mesoamerica. Evidence indicates that a "checkerboard"
calculator system was being used. Examples of this system were found on top of
the Great Pyramid and were long used for numerical calculations in Mesoamerica.
This same checkerboard pattern shows up on the lintel stones of temples built by
Celts of Iberian origin. Also, according to some astronomers, this pattern served as
a calendar regulator to measure the sunrise and sunset directions on solstices and
equinoxes.

Bermuda Triangle Stargate? A Connection To Atlantis?

Pyramids in China - (Not yet investigated)

Our astronauts saw these pyramids from space. On one of the Apollo Missions, an
astronaut, while in orbit over China, saw nine unusual dots on the surface, and
took several photos. When developed and enlarged, the photos revealed nine very
high pyramids, evenly spaced, in the form of a fan. The location, 170 degrees, 39
minutes East longitude, and 34 degrees, 9 minutes North latitude, is the Taibai
Shan Mountain, just over 10,000 feet above sea level, the highest point in the
Quin-Ling Mountains, a fair distance southwest of Xian.

THE NINE MUSES: in Greek mythology, the

nine patron goddesses of the arts; daughters of
ZEUS and Mnemosyne, a TITAN who
personified memory. They were: Calliope (epic
poetry and eloquence), Euterpe (music and
lyric poetry), Erato (love poetry), Polyhymnia
(oratory or sacred poetry), Clio (history),
Melpomene (tragedy), Thalia (comedy),
Terpsichore (choral song and dance), and Urania
(astronomy).

The Greeks used the number three a lot. There

were the three Fates, three Graces, three Gorgons
and the three Furies. Even Apollo's Pythia sat on
a three legged chair (tripod) and Cerberus was a
three headed dog. Multiples of three also seemed
to be used such as the nine Muses and the twelve
Olympian gods.

"The Symbolism and Spiritual Significance of the

Number Three"
 ANGELS

The angelic beings, or celestial intelligences, are divided into three triads,
containing the nine orders, and whose names, as we shall see, represent the
divine attributes that they manifest to all below them. Continuing from the fine
introduction to the work, Dionysius says these divine attributes also have an inner
relation with every human soul, for through their ministrations the aspiring soul
becomes liberated from the bondage of material things, receives knowledge of that
soul's purpose, and is enabled to live its true life, ultimately attaining its divine
likeness to the full.

The first order of the first triad is seraphim. They are described in the passage
already quoted from Isaiah as the "burning" or "fiery" ones, from whom the stream
of superessential grace flows (God transcends all essence). Like fire, the seraphim
consume all that separates the human from God. The second order is cherubim.
The name "cherub" means "fullness of knowledge". Through cherubim, the energy
of God streams forth as a transcendental light that perfectly illuminates the soul
and unites it with the divine wisdom. It imparts a full and lucid understanding to the
universal divine immanence. In the Bible, cherubs are depicted as great winged
creatures - for instance, in the construction of the Ark in the wilderness (Exodus
25.18 passim), King Solomon's majestic temple (1 Kings 6.23 passim) and the
visions of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1.10 and 10.1 passim). In one passage, the cherub is
portrayed as a flying creature on which God travelled in order to help King David (2
Samuel 22.11). All this shows how hard it is for the human mind to avoid
conceptualizing a formless energy The third order of the first triad are the thrones;
these are divine seats through which the soul is lifted up to God and becomes
established in the constancy of the divine service. This first triad is closest at all
times to the divine presence.

In the second triad come first the dominions, or dominations, that are free from all
earthly passions, from all inward inclination to the bondage of discord, and from all
that is low; they display a liberal superiority to harsh tyranny, and an exemptness
from degrading servility. They are true lords, perpetually aspiring to true lordship,
and to the Source of Lordship. The second order of the second triad are the
virtues, that have a powerful and unshakable virility welling forth into all their God-
like energies. There is no weakness in them: instead, they ascend unwaveringly to
the superessential virtue which is the Source of Virtue, and flow forth providentially
to those below. The third order are the powers, or authorities, that are invested with
a capacity to regulate intellectual and supermundane power which never debases
its authority by tyrannical force, but is irresistibly urged onward in due order to the
Divine. This order beneficently leads those below it, as far as possible, to the
supreme power which is the Source of Power. It re-directs the forces that fetter the
human mind to earthly things. Through this second triad, the soul is liberated from
all that is below, and assimilated to that which is above.

The third, and lowest, triad is concerned with the final execution of the work of
providence, which is God's beneficent care for his creatures. The principalities
exhibit divine lordship and true service; through them, the soul may turn from
attachment to earthly activities to the service of God, so as ultimately to become a
co-worker with the divine ministers. The archangels imprint the divine seal on all
things, whereby the universe is the written word of God. They impart to the soul the
spiritual light through which it may learn to read the Bible, and also to know and
use its own faculties correctly. The lowest order of this triad is the angels, who
minister to all things of nature, including humans, by purifying and uplifting them.

In this triadic scheme, the higher orders inspire those lower than they, but not vice
versa. Thus it is clear that the third triad is nearest the world, and transmits the
illumination received from above. The end of the process is the transfiguration of
the whole of the universe in the glorious light that proceeds from on high. This
whole hierarchy spreads the divine light through the cosmos, that vast realm that
includes the universe, as far as human understanding can define it, and also the
psychic plane where we may meet the spirits of the dead and also the communion
of saints and the ministry of angels. The great work of the angelic hierarchy is to
praise and glorify God. This praise is not a rational acclaim so much as a great
paean of joy that the world is as it is and that the angels are privileged both to
know it and to participate in it. This is how we should say the Gloria of the
Eucharist: that we are privileged to partake of the body and blood of the Saviour If
the whole cosmos could resound to that praise, and move beyond prejudice and
emotional bonds, we would pour out peace and goodwill to all creatures. The
angelic hierarchy, with its enlightened will turned resolutely to the divine presence,
helps to bring forward the Kingdom of God on earth - and elsewhere in our
unimaginably glorious cosmos.

And so it is that all aspiring human souls move to the divine presence, aided by an
immense angelic hierarchy, none more important than the other. If the humble
angel leads the way, the destination is through the cherub and seraph to the
source of all being whom we call God. It may well be that much illumination from
the Holy Spirit comes to us through the angelic hierarchy, centering on our own
guardian angel. One thing is certain, though: we must worship the Holy Trinity and
no other power.

 MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES

Aegir (Eagor) - Germanic god of the ocean, and husband of Ran. His nine
daughters, known as the "billow maidens", directed the swirling waves under his
orders. He was sometimes depicted as a very old man with white hair and claw-like
fingers. Whenever he left his glistening underwater palace it was with the single-
minded purpose of destroying ships and their crews. To placate him the Vikings
often sacrificed some prisoners before setting sail.

Heimdall (Heimdalr) - (Norse) He is said to be the son of nine mothers. He lived at

the foot of Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, and guarded it. He was known as the
watchman of the gods. Heimdall was the keeper of the Gjallahorn, the "ringing"
horn, which he was to sound when Ragnark, the end of the world, was near. In an
Irish myth he is called Rgr, and is considered the father of mankind. He consorted
with three women, from whom descend the three classes of mankind: serf(thrall),
freeman(karl), and nobleman(jarl).

Jotunheim - (Norse) The abode of the giants. It is on the edge of the ocean, far to
the northeast. It is one of the nine worlds sheltered by the cosmic tree, Yggdrasil.

The others are:

Asgard, the home of the Aesir gods

Vanaheim, home of the Vanir gods
Alfheim, home of the "light" elves
Nidavellir, home of the dwarfs
Midgard, home of humankind
Svartalfheim, home of the "dark" elves
Hel, home of the unworthy dead and
Niflheim, the region of everlasting cold and endless night.

Odin - Also Odhinn, Woden, Wodan, and Woutan. He is the supreme god and
oldest of all in Norse mythology, god of wisdom, poetry, magic, and war. He
belonged to the Aesir race of gods. Among his many names is All-father, for he is
the father of all the gods. One story about him relates how he acquired great
wisdom. Supposedly he gained this wisdom when he hanged himself on the world
tree for nine days and nights and was pierced by a spear. This was a spiritual
death in which he sacrificed himself to himself. Another story about his acquiring
wisdom is that he sacrificed an eye for the privilege of drinking from Mimir's,
fountain of wisdom. He had two black ravens, Huginn or Huninn (Thought) and
Muninn (Memory), who flew forth each day to gather the news of the world to bring
back to Odin. His greatest treasures were Sleipner (an eight-legged horse),
Gunger (a spear), and Draupner (a ring).

Skadi (Skade) - A giantess, called the 'snow-shoe goddess', and thus the
embodiment of winter. When her father Thiassi was slain by the gods for stealing
some golden apples from Idun, Skadi wanted to take revenge so she armed herself
and went to their stronghold where she demanded a husband and a belly full of
laughter as compensation. The gods thought it wise to reconciliate and offered her
a marriage with one of them. She was free to marry any god, but had to chose from
those eligible without being allowed to see anything but their feet. She noticed a
very elegant pair and, convinced that their owner was the handsome Balder, she
choose them. Unfortunately for her, those feet belonged to the older god Njord.
The belly full of laughter was provided by Loki, who tied his testicles to a goat. The
marriage between Njord and Skadi was not a happy one. She wanted to live where
her father had lived, in the mountains, and Njord wanted to live in his palace by the
sea. So they agreed to spend the first nine days in the mountains and the following
nine days by the sea. This arrangement did not work out very well, and they
separated. Eventually, Skadi left Njord for the god Ull.

Surtr (Surt) - (Norse) Surtr (means "black") was a giant who lived in the extreme
south, and whose flaming sword guarded Muspelheim. In Ragnarok, he is the one
who sets the nine worlds on fire; all the gods, frost giants, the living, the dead,
dwarfs, elves, monsters and animals would be consumed. Then the earth would
sink into the cosmic sea and another would arise, all fresh and green, to begin
again.

Thokk - (Norse) After Baldr's death, Hel, the queen of the underworld, said that she
would allow him to return to the land of the living if "everything in the nine worlds,
dead or alive, weeps for him". Everyone did mourn except for Thokk, a giantess,
who refused. Baldr stayed dead. Some myths claim that Thokk was really Loki in
disguise.

THE LIONINE GODS

A Prayer to the God RA

O Amen-Ra, the gods have gone forth from thee.

What flowed forth from thee became Shu, and
that which was emitted by thee became Tefnut;
thou didst create the nine gods at the beginning
of all things, and thou wast the Lion-god of the
Twin lion-gods. .

The goddess Sekhmet is always portrayed wearing the solar disk, surmounted by
the Uraeus, or right Eye of Ra, on her head, which symbols immediately connect
her with both the Twin Lion gods and their disc, and therefore the balance and
evolution of this planet. In her role as Divine Warrior, she wages war against the
enemies of Ra, just as her feline brothers and sisters did against the evil of Apep.
Masters writes of the war in Heaven [sic] which is 'intruding ever more fully and
terribly upon this earth'. It is this intrusion, he tells us:

... which has given rise to the re-entry into human time and space of the Great
Mother, in these Mysteries manifesting as Sekhmet. To Chaos She brings terror
and a swathe of destruction. By means of Love She comes to re-establish those
conditions which alone can preserve the human race and provide for the
harmonious development and fulfillment of human beings as individuals, but also
as parts of the Great Cosmic Whole that The War in Heaven is about - the eventual
outcome: either Being or Nothingness.'

The Great Seal of the United States

In the radiant disk above the American bald eagle's head the stars of the original
13 states are composed to form a Solomon's seal symbolic of the union of soul and
body, spirit and matter. Each of the interlaced equilateral triangles, one upward
turned, the other downward, is a Pythagorean tetraktys, or "perfect triangle of
fourness," of nine points, four to a side, enclosing a tenth representing the
generative center ("still point of the turning world") our of which the others derive
their force. The upward triangle is of spiritual, the downward pointing, of physical
energy. thus interlaced, the two represent the physical world recognized as
informed by the spiritual, and in exactly this sense they appear at the Lotus Center
of the awakened heart.

In the classical imagination, the 9 circumferential points of the Pythagorean

tetraktys were identified with the Muses and the pont in the center with Apollo,
around whose radiant form the 9 dance. In Jewish thought, the sign of the two
triangles together is known as "magen david" (Hebrew, maghen Dawidh), "Shield
of David," and read as connoting the shekinah, or presence of God in Israel (as
originally in the burning bush and in the cloud on the summit of Mt. Sinai). In the
Great Seal of the United States the reference is to the inspiration of the light of
Reason in the constitution of the originating colonies brought together as one
nation: e pluribus unum, "out of many, one." These are homologous, though
culturally differentiated, interpretations of the same "elementary idea."

When viewed as outlining a pyramid, the upward pointing triangle matches the
pyramid n the reverse of the Seal, with the single point at its apex corresponding to
the Eye out of which the expanding form of the traktys, the energy emanating from
that initial point (which is of the opening both from and to Eternity) yields, first,
duality (2 point: measure and chaos, subject and object, light and dark, odd and
even, male and female, etc. ), which then relate to each other in three ways (3
points: either a dominant, b dominant, or a and b in accord, whence derive all the
phenomenal forms in the field of space time (4 points: 4 quarters of the earth and
heavens). There is a verse in the Chinese Tao Teh Ching: "The Tao produced One;
One produced Two; Two produce Three; Three produced All things" (Tao Teh Ching
42, translation, James Legge). Thus the ancient symbolism of the tetraktys: 1
point, 2 points, 3 points and 4; which series when read in the opposite sense, of
ascending or returning to the source, yields the interesting series, 4 3 2 (for the
sense of which is above)

Connotations of the same perfect order pertain of course, to the downward turned
tetraktys, with its single point at the apex opening also from and to Eternity; so that,
"What is above is below," and the energy of the Spirit (however named0, whether
from without (as from the Eye, the apex above) or from within the world (apex
below) is one. Moreover, since from every terminal point of the six-pointed
Solomon's seal the same increasing series of 2 to 3 to 4 proceeds, it follows the
intended sense of the radiant symbol of 13 stars above the American bald eagle's
head must have been the same essentially as that of Black Elk's remark, "The
Center is everywhere", above and below, north, south, east, and west - with an
additional eighteenth -century implication of the humanizing light of Reason
reflected, universally , n the clarified consciousness of mankind.

The number of stripes on the American eagle's shield is 13; so also the number of
the arrows and of the leaves of the laurel spray in its talons, while the number of
the feathers of its tail is 9 to the eye, but through the eye to the intellect, the
meanings of which can be known only to those already familiar with the illustrated
tradition. Such a composition may grace the eye, but in itself it lacks magic, or as
Joyce would say, the "radiance" (claritas) of an achieve work of "proper" art. One's
heart is walked, not by the form of the work, but by its content, and if the latter is of
a tradition either unknown or deceased, the work may be of interest, like the dollar
bill, economically, but it is no longer a work of living art.

The artist fashioned a work of this kind serves in the way, rather of the priest of an
assured tradition than of an innovating creator, and the refinement of his
vocabulary can be astounding. Consider, for instance, the elegant concision of the
statement of the relationship of the refinement of his vocabulary can be
astounding. Consider for instance, the elegant concision of the statement of the
relationship of a theological ground to the polity of this nation, founded in
benevolence and reason, that is represented in the ideogram of the outward
spread eagle on our dollar bill; overhead, the twofold tetraktys arranged in the form
a Solomon's seal of 13 five-pointed stars, other recurrences of the number 13; the
sum of the feathers in the eagle's tail (3 + 3 + 3);and the offered choices of either a
spray of laurel or a sheaf of 13 arrows. It is ironical that today we should be
passing around as legal tender these sociological manifestos without being able to
read the message of democracy engraved on every one of them, the spiritual
inspiration our of which their economic value has been derived. So, that, not only
the message, but even its vocabulary, has been lost.

But also lost has been the power of all such rcondite, iconographic art to melt the
mind, enchant the hard, and cast a spell of esthetic arrest. For there has been a
vast transformation of consciousness, not only in the Western world, but over the
whole face of the earth, in the two brief centuries that have elapsed since the
dating in Roman numerals of that pyramid.

as Religion."

In 1997 I had this dream about a spiritual house of a pyramid type. Note that the
blocks were numbered and that if you add the numbers from left to right, each one
equals 9.
6-28-97 - DREAM - I was shown a spiritual house which was built in a pyramid

Primordial Hill

The Egyptians believed that during creation this hill rose out of the sea of chaos to
create dry land. The idea of this hill rising had a profound effect on the egyptians,
being used as every thing from temple layouts to the possible inspiration behind
the pyramids.

NUMEROLOGY

9 - Number of the Moon; Container of all numbers; Number of known astronomical

planets. Eternity; Yesod; Endings, echatology; Moons of Saturn; Number of Muses;
In the I Ching, 9 is the number of Yang. Arabic Ta (Secret Knowledge ). Number of
absolute completion, perfection and wisdom. Since the ennead is the final
limitation, it is the acceptance of solitude and the beginning of the inward journey
to the Infinite.

999 - Symbolizes the three levels of the triune * completion

Eternal Evolution (past, present, future). This is the most mystical number of all. It
is the number of the Archon of the Ending Aeons. 999 is the year in which
Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl) died. It is the name of a very high IQ Society. 999 is the
final transmutation of the current that began with 333, reached its culmination of
evil mysticism in 666 and which will unlock the gates of the Otherworld at the end
of this cycle's unfolding. It has also been appropriated by the J. R. "Bob" Dodds
mock-cult (The Church of the Sub-Genius) as its seal, but is (for them) totally
without significance or occult purpose, except as another symbol to subvert in their
addiction to chaos.

9 to the 9th power is 387,420,489, which is sure to have some important meaning.
Breaking that down, 3 + 8 + 7 = 18 = 9; 4 + 2 + 0 = 6; 4 + 8 + 9 = 21 = 3; and
ultimately 9 + 6 + 3 = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9.
The first thing to remember about numbers is that each number, far from being just
an accretion of previous numbers, really is unique. Numbers are the quintessence
of symbology, and numerology appeals mostly to the abstract metaphysician, just
as, in science, mathematics appeals to the abstract-minded scientist. Numerology,
like astrology and palmistry, has a bad reputation because it's so easily
misunderstood and misused. Since we can all recognize synchronicity, it's only
natural to rush from there to the assumption that coincidence is the same thing as
divination. But, synchronicity is nothing more than evidence that there are patterns
of many kinds. It would be better if we could de-emphasize the practical side of
everything and concentrate on the esthetics. The Egyptians used to teach that the
most valuable things are the most useless: the arts, for example, or philosophy, or
gold.

Finally, we should remember that it was through the indolent adoption of the easy
decimal system (rather than the more perfect and exacting duodecimal system)
that Atlantis finally brought itself down. This mathematically lazy way out is exactly
the same path for which we have settled.

So numerology is simply the metaphysical side to numbers. One and one, for
instance, are two, not because arithmetic says so, but because being equally
"unique" they can't be reconciled as one, or "united," and are therefore at odds and
in conflict with each other, as opposites in a mutual duality or "duel." Three, on the
other hand, is a collection based on some kind of agreement, four a quaternity
based on crossed oppositions in perfect balance, and so one.

There are also different ways of dealing with numerology -- theoria and praxis. In
gematria, however, the idea is to add up the value of a word and then find other
words that add up to the same number. They would thus be equivalents. This
works rather well in Hebrew (to a lesser extent in Greek) but rather poorly in
English -- simply because of the intrinsic differences between languages. Example:
Jehovah has the same value as Chozeh ("seer" or "prophet"). Therefore, to the
ancient Jews, God and Prophesy would be practically synonymous.

Numerological reduction is a convenience. It's easier to deal with numbers from 1

to 10 than with great blobs like 847 or 9,556,431. But numerologists also add
before reducing. If a room contains 8 people, the numerology lecturer might
perhaps decide to deliver his "octave" message. If 3 more people arrived, he'd
change that to 11 which has an entirely different meaning from its reduction to 1 +
1 = 2. The higher the number, the more unstable its meaning becomes. For
example, 11 stands symbolically for all the higher numbers (above 10), which is
why 11 is the number of Sorcery.

The values of the Hebrew letters are: 1-ALEPH, 2-BETH, 3-GIMEL, 4-DALED, 5-
HE, 6-VAU, 7-ZAYIN, 8-CHETH, 9-TETH, 10-YOD, 20-KAPH, 30-LAMED, 40-
MEM, 50-NUN, 60-SAMECH, 70-AYIN, 80-PE, 90-TZADDE, 100-QOPH, 200-
RESH, 300-SHIN, 400-TAV, 500-FINAL K, 600-FINAL M; 700-FINAL N, 800-FINAL
P, 900-TZ, 1000-ALEPH (writ large).
In both Arab esoteric studies and in Judaic Cabal, such numbers form anagrams
and extend the power of words: e.g., 93=Greek Agape, 398=Neshek, the serpent,
and also Messiah.

This is one of the Universal Spiritual Laws which tells of the power of
numbers:

The Law of Co-Creation states that two working in co-creative action have the
power of four working individually; and three working in co-creative activity have
the power of nine; and four working in co-creative activity have the power of
sixteen; and one hundred and forty-four working in harmony can change the world.
Wherein large groups of entities believe and agree on certain images as real and
being stable, this agreement does hold the power of many times that number of
energies, if such energies were held by individuals working separately. Wherein
groups of entities agree upon certain images, these images do tend to manifest
and hold their being in a magnified manner.

THE UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL LAWS

The Gifts of the Spirit.

There are nine gifts of the Spirit listed in I Cor. 12:8-10. Wisdom, knowledge, faith,
gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, kinds of
tongues, and the interpretation of tongues.

What was the purpose of these spiritual gifts?

1.Revelation: Man needs a revelation from his Creator "It is not in man to direct his
own steps;" therefore God gave the gifts of knowledge and wisdom. (Jer. 10:23)

2.Proclamation: Man needed to proclaim the right message in the right language;
therefore God gave the gifts of:

a."Prophecy" - the message.

b."Discerning of spirits" - the right message. (1 Jno. 4:1)

c."Interpretation of tongues" - the right language.

3.Confirmation: Early Christians did not have the Bible as we do today. They had to
prove that the revelation they had received and were proclaiming was from God.
How would the audience know they were speaking God's Word without miracles.
(Acts 8:6) Therefore God gave the gifts of:

a.Faith - I Cor. 13:2.

b.Healing - Acts 3:11.

c.Miracles - Acts 13:11.

d.Tongues - I Cor. 14:22; Acts 2:1-5.

"These signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them. They shall lay hands on the sick; and they shall recover. So then after the
Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right
hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where the Lord working with
them; and confirming the Word with signs following." (Mk. 16:17-20) "How shall we
escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by
the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." (Heb.2:3) "Brethren, I
speak after the manner of men; though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be
confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto." (Gal. 3:15)

NINE IN NUMEROLOGY

Nine is composed of the all-powerful 3x3.

Nine - the result of 3x3, nine represents an even greater holiness found in three.

It is the Triple Triad.

IT represents completion; fulfilment; attainment; beginning and the end; the whole
number; a celestial and angelic number. Nine represents the Earthly Paradise.
Nine is seen as an incorruptible number. It is the number of the circumference, its
division into 90 degrees and into 360 for the entire circumference. Nine is
symbolized by the two triangles which are a symbol of male, fire, mountain and
female, water, cave principles.

Cultural References

Buddhist tradition holds nine to be the supreme spiritual power, and a celestial
number.

Celtic legend symbolizes nine as a highly significant number. It is a central number

with the eight directions with the center making nine. The Triple Goddesses are

the nine virgins attendant on Bridgit. Nine is connected with the Beltane Fire rites
which are attended by 81( 8+ 1= 9) men, nine at a time.

numbers. Nine also signifies the eight directions with the center as the ninth point
known as the Hall of Light. There are nine great social laws and classes of offials.
In land divisions for Feng Shui there are eight exterior squares for cultivation of the
land by holders and the central, and ninth, square is a "god's acre", dedicated to
Shang-ti, the supreme ruler. It is also known as the Emperor's Field, giving homage
and respect denoting the position of heavenly power.

Pythagorean: The nine is the limit of all numbers, all others existing and coming
from the same. ie: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of
numbers.

the secrets of wisdom for humankind. Skeldi, the northern Persephone, the
goddess of snow, lives in her mountain for three months and by Niord's sea for

THE SACRED HOOP

The archaic, traditional peoples have basically used symbol as a way of

communication. This establishes an ongoing relationship between the sign and the
thing symbolized. All cognitions are expressed symbolically, since these peoples'
sacred symbols manifest the energies they represent, and whose mediators they
are, in a real and true fashion. Symbol is magical by virtue of the analogy binding it
indestructibly (and identifying it) with that which it is symbolizing. Among these
symbols, of extraordinary magical and sacred importance are the numbers and the
geometrical figures. Every primitive or archaic society has known these, and has
used them to symbolize the cosmos and its energies, by virtue of which these
numbers and geometrical figures have possessed the invisible energies to which
they themselves bore witness, in perfect correspondence with their visible
characteristics.

Two of these geometrical symbols are very much to the fore in the indigenous
societies. We mean the circle and the square (and their derivatives), the latter
standing in close relationship with the number four, the cosmogonic number
present in every manifestation (as well as with the number five, the possibility of
the supracosmic and nonmanifest). As for the circle, let us hear Black Elk, the
celebrated native sage, direct heir of the tradition of the North American plains:

I noticed that my people's sacred hoop was one of the many hoops in the form of a
circle, wide as the light of day and the shining of the stars. And in the center was a
mighty Flowering Tree, which covered all of the children of father and mother. And I
observed that it was holy. . . .

The power of the universe acts ever by way of circles, and all things tend ever to
be round. In ancient days, when we were a happy, strong people, we received our
power from the hoop of the nation, which was holy, and while the circle remained
complete, the people flourished. . . .

The Flowering Tree was the living center of the circle, and it was nourished by the
life of the cycle of the four directions. . . .

Whatever is done by the power of the universe, it is done in the form of a circle.

This idea of circularityassociated to the whirling wind and to all natural, psychic,
and material phenomena, as well as being linked to the idea of cycle, repetition,
totality, and especially to that of center, axis, generation, and lifecan be found in
the various known traditions.

Among the Chinese, the circular figure is associated with heaven, and is assigned
the numerical value of nine. The quadrangular form is linked with earth. There is an
intimate relationship, however, between the two: both are constituted by four 90
angles, or 360. As for the sphere and the cube, which are the volumetric
representations of the circle and the square, these are also akin, although the
former is more perfect than the latter (since all of its limit points are equidistant
from its center), and the cube seems rigid and forced by comparison with the
sphere.
SOME FUNDAMENTAL SYMBOLS

THE TREE OF LIFE AND THE TAROT

There are significant Qabalistic metaphors associated with the number 24 as well;
one pertaining to the Flaming Sword, which provides prime Qabalistic proof. The
Flaming Sword or Lightning Flash is defined by nine Tarot Atus, or Paths, which
describe the sequential emanations of the Ten Holy Sephiroth. Since there is no
traditional Path which connects Binah with Chesed across the Abyss of Daath,
Crowley rightfully assigned this hidden Path the Hebrew letter Gimel and the Atu
the Priestess. While the Master did discover that the Hebrew letters attributed to
these nine Paths add to 777, he never mentions the sum of the Atu numbers. We
mention this because the Five Paths which are Above the center Sephira,
Tiphareth, add to our ubiquitous number 24; that is, the Fool 0 + the Empress 3 +
the Priestess 2 + Strength or Lust 8 + Judgement or Adjustment 11 = 24. The four
Paths Below Tiphareth add to the Mystic number 69; that is, Death 13 + the Tower
16 + the Sun 19 + the World 21 = 69. Amazingly, 24 + 69 = 93, our Number of
Thelema! Therefore, the 93 Current of Thelema is shown to be synonymous with
the Lightning Flash of the Qabalistic Tree of Life.

Through the process of initiation we begin our ascent upward on the Tree. We
must purify and learn deeply of the four elements first. Then we must learn to
coordinate the four elements under the rulership of Spirit. The process of the
elemental initiations changes our microscopic sphere of sensation to a given
element on a daily basis. We then learn of the rewards and challenges of that
element. Only initiation can concisely bring about these necessary changes in the
microcosm.
The paths on the Tree of Life are the archetypal aspects of our Microcosm,
whereas the Sephiroths are considered macrocosmic.

The Sephiroth
.

Eastern Oregon was Gifted with the Sri Yantra Mandala Formation in
August 1990.

It arrived in a dry wilderness lake bed east of Steens Mountain, and consisted of
13.3 MILES of lines, each 10" wide and scored to a depth of 3 inches in the
hardpan. The graphic below is the Sri Yantra, and the Pattern discovered in the dry
earth was identical in all respects.

Though some men 'claimed' to have made it by hand and demonstrated appallingly
their inability to duplicate how they did it, interestingly, the skies above the Sri
Yantra are regularly used as part of the Idaho Air National Guard's pilot training
area. According to the lieutenant pilot who first spotted the huge Pattern on August
10, no pilots had reported a design-in-progress; the Pattern had simply 'appeared'
one day...

And never mind asking how these jokers managed precise and perfectly scored
lines 10" wide and 3" deep, with consistently bevelled sides, for an equivalent
distance of over 13 miles, in the August desert heat when they could barely, and
with much effort, score a short 1/2"-deep line; and don't ask how they measured,
surveyed, and determined bearings for the Pattern - with its complex integrated
perfection of nine interlocking triangles - before they began their alleged plow work.
(The Sri Yantra Pattern contains extremely intricate geometrical relationships.)
Never mind asking, because they, like all other people who've *claimed* the
CircleMakers' Formations, offered no technical explanations.

The Tantric Yantra Drawing

by Joe Mason

At 1:11 a.m. on September 13, 1990, I drew a 14-pointed star based on this
Tantric Yantra that I found in a book called Myths, edited by Alexander Eliot
(McGraw-Hill Book Co., NY 1976)

I felt an inspiration to draw it in a special way. I could see that the two major
triangles in the star-shape were like an offset Star of David. I was in possession of
nine brass vouchers called "chits," that had been involved in several coincidences.
The chits are shaped somewhat like an eight-petal flower. The chits were used at
my work place in working with the tool crib personnel. Craftsmen, such as I,
exchanged a chit for a tool, to be used for a short time. By "coincidence, I found
that the word "chit," in Sanskrit, means "consciousness."

In two of the coincidences, I had arranged the nine chits into a diamond shape, in
the order of 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, from the top-down. I took a photograph of them to
illustrate:
The arrangement can be viewed diagonally as 3 + 3 + 3 or 3, 6, 9. In Joseph
Campbell's book, on page 37, he speaks of various numbers that add to nine, such
as 108 (associated with the Goddess Mother of the World) and 432 (a cycle of time
number). He continues:

"In Roman Catholic Europe, when the Angelus tolls (at morning,
noon, and evening), it rings 3 + 3 + 3 and then 9 times, in celebration
of the Virgin's conception of the Savior. The recited prayer at those
junctures, 'The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she
conceived by the Holy Ghost . . . and THE WORD WAS MADE
FLESH . . .' is in recognition of this miracle at the opening of a new
world age."

So, I arranged the chits on a piece of paper and traced their outline. I drew in the
two major triangles, and realized that they did resemble the Tantric Yantra. I
continued to draw triangles around sets of "chit-shapes," until I had this:
 The Sri Yantra Report
In the previous section of this article, I established contact with crop circle
researcher, Pat Delgado, near the end of 1991. Among the several packets of
material I sent to him over a period of months, were reports of the strange events
involving my "chits," and the various diagrams that came from them. Pat and Colin
went their separate ways sometime later, and Pat changed the name of his
newsletter to "CPD."
The "CPD Newsletter," number 7, for April, 1992, had a very interesting report. An
article from the Canadian magazine "UFO" was sent to Pat by his friend from
Devon, Joan Amos. The article was written by Jim Deardorff. Pat gave some
extracts from the long and detailed article:

"On 14th September 1990, the news services released a story about
the discovery of a giant pictograph about a quarter of a mile wide
appearing in a dry lake bed east of Steens mountain, about 70 miles
S.E. of Burns, Oregon. It was reported to have been discovered by
Idaho Air National Guard pilot, Lt. Bill Miller of the 190th Tactical
Reconnaissance Squadron, while on a flight on 10th August 1990.

The sign was soon noted to be of an ancient Hindu meditation

symbol called a Sri Yantra and orientated precisely north-south and
etched into the dry - lake bed with furrows about three inches deep.

See the Sri Yantra Crop Formation above.

From Joe Mason's Pollen Path Page 2

.
In Genesis 1:26 the Lord declares, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.

"Adam", the first human (the Hebrew means man or mankind), possesses a very
instructive gematria. Notice that Hebrew reads from right to left.

The Bible uses the plural form "our" with "in our image," and for emphasis and
poetic effect repeats this as "in our likeness." Among other things, this means the
image of the Trinity, the likeness of the triangle.

To confirm the triangle nature of 45, see the image above. By applying the triangle
function to the pre-image 9, we find the following: 9 ------> 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 9
= 45
= a triangle number

So 45 is the 9th triad, implying you can arrange that number of identical objects
into a triangle. It's no accident that the last creation of God was the 9th. A
symbolism more beautiful than our Lord's is difficult to imagine.

by James Harrison

THE NUMBERS OF THE TRINITY

The first number, 1 = 1x1x1 = 1 symbolized

3

the First Person of the Trinity, God the Father

The second number, 2 = 2x2x2 = 8, symbolizes

3

the Second Person of the Trinity, God the Son

The third number, 3 = 3x3x3 = 27, symbolizes

3

the Third Person of the Trinity, God The Holy Spirit

The last connection is affirmed by the gematria of "The Holy Spirit"

1080 = 27 x 40
= 27 + 27 + .. . . + 27

If you want to know God, then you must approach Him through Jesus under the
inSPIRation of The Holy Spirit. This word spirit or pneuma meant breath, soul, or
spirit. Some of that meaning survives today in words like pneumatic and
pneumonia.

The Fishes and the Net number dramatically points out that the path to 153/Jesus
is only through 1080/The Holy Spirit. All the numbers in the third circle symbolize
the Third Person. They are either 1080 or multiples of 27.

Yet, is is probably by chance that the average number of breaths a person takes in
an hour is 1080 (test yourself). Regardless, the quantity has abundant connections
with the physical world.
