Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Crazycats. I had never thought of those. I had been thinking more along the lines of the Western Scientific (Cartesian-Newtonian) way of thinking, rather than from any religious viewpoint (although the two cannot always, or perhaps shouldn't ever, be separated. Maybe that is part of the problem with a lot of Western Society - we try to compartmentalise everything and regard Religion as a separate entity from our daily life. But I digress). Your references are valid, however and I was not aware of all of them - interesting to say the least when you put them all together. Anyway, to labour my point, if I even have one, there is little importance attached to the numbered repititions of anything, to my mind, in our daily life. But there is siginificant importance in the Chinese way of thinking - or so I have been told. It also seems to be prevalent in Indian practices as well from what Electra was saying. Somebody else would and probably already has expressed all of this in a much more succinct and impressive way than I ever will, but I hope you get what I am attempting to say. At last, a self-satisfied smile crosses my face as I happily turn off my brain again and just before I get blown out of the water for getting it all wrong! <smiles>.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have been fascinated with numbers and their meangings for a long time. Everything in creation goes in cycles..repetition of numbers. The book that really got me started (not that I wasn't interested before..math being my favorite subject in school) was a gematria book written by James Harrison, " The Pattern & The Prophecy--God's Great Code " . This book is out of print right now, but if anyone is interested and can find that book in a library, it is super interesting.
