Mystic Numerology Thread

[Fusion_power]

A search on Atlantis yields hundreds of websites with a ton of information and misinformation on the subject. In a nutshell, many people "believe" in Atlantis whether it existed or not.

One of the common factors in the story is a great flood that happened approximately 12500 years ago at the time the last ice age ended. It is a verifiable fact that the sea level rose several feet at that time.

There are also some very strange ruins. The Sphinx is one such given that the head was added @3000 years ago to a body that dated back many thousands of years earlier.

There are several "psychics" such as Edgar Cayce who maintained that Atlantis both existed and will one day be rediscovered. A similar claim is made by T. Lobsang Rampa in several of his books.

Please post what you think about this and/or any other mythological tales.

Another good source of modern day myths is H.P. Lovecraft.

In the mysterious book of unknown origin referred to by Madame H.P. Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy, in her book.'The Secret Doctine' states that 'the large mass sank in the ocean of present day Cuba & Florida in 9564 B.C.' It had a very advanced culture.
Recent theories suggest that it was the island of "THERA" in the Mediterranean. Ref: James Mavor 'Voyage to Atlantis'
Erich Von Daniken compares 'Atlantis to U.F.O.'s- both of them are firmly rooted in mans imagination' Ref: 'Return to the Stars'
It was Plato who was the first to record it 2500 yrs. ago. In his celebrated dialogue 'Timaeus' and 'Creatias' in which he describes the island whose metropolis was Poseidones with an advanced culture far surpassing ours.
This Island was probably Atlantis.
In a rare book of mine 'From Sphinx to Christ-An occult history' by French author Edouard Schure says that magic prevailed very stongly. Eventually the Black overtook the White and this was probably its downfall. He devotes
5 chapters on 'Atlantis and Atlantians. It is fascinating reading.
Volumes can be written on Atlantis and have been,
Jim Stearn on the life and work of Edgar Case in his 'Sleeping Prophet' writes,
'More than 2000 books have been written about a legendary Land that no one has seen. There have been books to prove 'Atlantis', books to disprove it. Some have been by erudite scientists, others by dreamers in search of Shang ri La!"
Regards the Sphinx and the pyramids in the Son et Lumiere show in Cairo I heard the phrase 'Man fears Time, but Time fears the Pyramids' How true!
And the sphinx is much older than Cheops!

I won't comment on Atlantis or any of the other persons mentioned here, but I think it is worth knowing that T.Lobsang Rampa has been exposed as being an Devonshire (England) ex-plumber who didn't know one word of Tibetan. In short, he was a complete fraud. (see Heinrich Harrer's book: "Return to Tibet"). The chances that he knew anything about Atlantis seem small.

See http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pyramid...re/sphinx.html

IIRC the TV show presented evidence for a theory that the original head was much larger than what we now see and represented something other than pharoah Khafre (whose pyramid is behind the Sphinx), then in Khafre's time was carved down to what we see now. But this timespan was on the order of hundreds, not many thousands, of yesars

Part 1
I agree with you that Lobsang Rampa was a ‘hoax’ and so was Madame Blavatsky proved to be a fraud after her transition. Yet they still have a vast no. of followers all around the globe who believe in them and their philosophies.
The former (Lobsang) was very knowledgeable of Tibetan culture and customs and creeds.

‘The Third Eye’ when one ponders on, in deep meditation such as Transcendental meditation has meanings and a realization which has to be experienced to know and this is not expressible in words or at the most in symbolic terms

Similarly was Madame Blavatsky whose head quarters are in a vast tract of land (Adyar) in the suburbs of Chennai India. She must have had an astounding imagination to pen 13 volumes of ‘the secret doctrine’. When I visited Adyar I was suitably impressed.
I don’t think one has to either visit Tibet to become a lamah or know its language of even be a Tibetan.

Spirituality is a universal phenomenon and open to one and all.
As the saying goes you don’t have to die to write a death scene!

I have had the rare privilege to fly the Dalai Lama and his entourage on one of the long sectors of our network. I personally felt that he was an enlightened being and so were those accompanying him and with whom I sat and mingled with. They were plain simple people basically no different from the rest of us.

They followed Buddhism and I realised its better to be a good Buddhist than a bad Christian!l

Tsunami and the number 8

By now we have all heard or read about the devastating Tsunami which ravaged the coastal areas of the S.E. Asian countries bordering the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and China sea
.
Perhaps few of us have noticed the date it struck and the ominous portents of that fateful number it ‘adds’ up to.

The number 8 has long been associated by the Ancients as a number of destiny when God personally controls the strings to the individual. When God destroyed the Earth with the Flood only 8 persons were saved .i.e. Noah, his wife, their 3 sons and their 3 wives.

The lives of people whose birthdates add up to 8 are likely to have very eventful and self destructing lives beyond their control.
The number 8 has as its symbol a snake coiled with itself with its tail swallowed in its own mouth hence self destructing.

The number 8 in modern numerology is associated with the $ sign which means vast amounts of money to be spent.
Thus it is good to transact business on the 8th , 17th or 26th of a month

When two 8’s come together the 8 effect is doubled even more, The ultimate is three 8’s coming together which is the symbol of God Himself.
I am speaking from personal experience in my life and those of my acquaintances and have kept a log for 50 years or so and I find it is very, very true.

When we analyse the date the Tsunami struck it is 26/12/2004. The date 26 adds up to 8 (2+6) and so is the sum total of the date—2+6+1+2+2+4 =1+7 =8.
So here there are two 8’s involved. The next such date in the coming year is 9/01/2005. with one 8
Heaven forbid if another Tsunami strikes somewhere else.

The question comes to mind ‘What about the Sept 11th bombing of Twin Towers (11/09/2002?. It adds up to 6 and not one 8 is involved. How come?’
The number 6 is the number of man (no. of Beast =666) so man is in control and God allows him to control his own destiny. Hence it was the work of Man and not God
This is a controversial subject and not a science tho’ in some Indian Univ.’s it is.
I welcome different views on the above topic

204 400 441 341 306
272 468 509 409 374
210 406 447 347 312
286 482 523 423 388
361 557 598 498 463

Above is a magic talisman for the coming year 2005.

Select any number say 400 from anywhere in the square and circle it

Now scratch out the numbers to the right, left, top and bottom of it i.e. 441, 341 306 (right of it)

204 (left of it), none on the top and to the bottom of it are 468, 406, 482,and 557

Repeat the process with another number you select. This process can be done 4 times after which only one number will remain unmarked.

The scratching out must be done immediately after the selection of the individual number

Eg. Say you select 400, 509, 423, 210 then the only number left after all the scratching will be 463.

Total these numbers up thus 400+509+423+210 +463 =2005 the number of the year.

Can anyone construct a square giving the previous year or the next year 2006?

Wish you all a happy New Year

The date was 11/09/2001, or 9/11/2001 as dates are notated in the US.

I'm (obviously) not a mathematician, but I bet a person with even trivial math training could manipulate any number or date to serve an agenda...

This would make for a good "Soap Box" topic I think...
