Well dear readers it has sure been quite some time since my last post here!
Hopefully you'll find this one to be worth the wait!
Since today is November 9, 2012 (11/9/12) and day #314 of the Gregorian Calendar with just 42 days remaining to 12/21/12, I thought this would be the perfect time to once again explore some mysteries!
For those readers not-so mathematically inclined I will do my best to explain and illustrate!
Today is 11/9, which the reverse of 9/11 - that fateful day in September 2001 when the Towers came down in New York.
More importantly, however, it is day number 314 of 2012. All the faithful readers will immediately recognize today is a PI day.
PI = 3.14
Even better:
In 2012 we have the infamous rollover of the Mayan Calendar to 13.0.0.0.0 (13 baktun).
Today is 42 days to that rollover - which occurs on 12/21/12.
42, covered extensively on this blog in past posts (just blog search for 42 and you'll find them), is also the expression of PI as: 3 x 14 = 42
Now I want to turn our attention to matters of the economy, or more specifically, the US Dollar.
(You can click the image above to view a larger version)
As any good symbologist knows, a good symbol is one that conveys more than a singular meaning.
And as we'll explore, we'll see that we certainly satisfy that in the various images that appear on the US Dollar bill!
But before we explore deeper we need to examine a little history first!
Wikipedia tells us:
The Great Seal of the United States is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the United States federal government. The phrase is used both for the physical seal itself (which is kept by the United States Secretary of State), and more generally for the design impressed upon it. The Great Seal was first used publicly in 1782.
The obverse of the great seal is used as the national coat of arms of the United States.[1] It is officially used on documents such as United States passports, military insignia, embassy placards, and various flags. As a coat of arms, the design has official colors; the physical Great Seal itself, as affixed to paper, is monochrome.
Since 1935, both sides of the Great Seal have appeared on the reverse of the one-dollar bill. The Seal of the President of the United States is directly based on the Great Seal, and its elements are used in numerous government agency and state seals.
That Wikipedia page also tells us that it took 3 committees to create the set of Seals which were finalized in 1782 and that we today see on the US Dollar bill.
As with the previous two committees, most of the work was delegated to a heraldic expert, this time 28-year-old William Barton.
Barton drew a design very quickly, using a rooster on the crest, but it was much too complex. No drawing of this design seems to have survived.
Barton then came up with another design, which the committee submitted back to Congress on May 9, 1782, just five days after being formed. This time, the figures on each side of the shield were the "Genius of the American Confederated Republic" represented by a maiden, and on the other side an American warrior. At the top is an eagle and on the pillar in the shield is a "Phoenix in Flames". The mottos were "In Vindiciam Libertatis" (In Defense of Liberty) and "Virtus sola invicta" (Only virtue unconquered).
For the reverse, Barton used a pyramid of thirteen steps, with the radiant Eye of Providence overhead, and used the mottos "Deo Favente" (With God's Favor, or more literally, God Favoring) and "Perennis" (Everlasting).[23] The pyramid had come from another Continental currency note designed in 1778 by Hopkinson, this time the $50 note, which had a nearly identical pyramid and the motto "Perennis". Barton had at first specified "on the Summit of it a Palm Tree, proper", with the explanation that "The Palm Tree, when burnt down to the very Root, naturally rises fairer than ever", but later crossed it out and replaced it with the Eye of Providence, taken from the first committee's design.
Congress again took no action on the submitted design.
On June 13, 1782, the Congress turned to its Secretary Charles Thomson, and provided all material submitted by the first three committees.[8] Thomson was 53 years old, and had been a Latin master at a Philadelphia academy.[25] Thomson took elements from all three previous committees, coming up with a new design which provided the basis for the final seal.
Thomson used the eagle – this time specifying an American bald eagle – as the sole supporter on the shield. The shield had thirteen stripes, this time in a chevron pattern, and the eagle's claws held an olive branch and a bundle of thirteen arrows. For the crest, he used Hopkinson's constellation of thirteen stars. The motto was E Pluribus Unum, taken from the first committee, and was on a scroll held in the eagle's beak.
An eagle holding symbols of war and peace has a long history, and also echoed the second committee's themes. Franklin owned a 1702 emblem book, which included an eagle with olive branch and arrows near its talons, which may have been a source for Thomson. The arrows also mirror those in the arms of the Dutch Republic, the only country in Europe with a representative government at the time, which depicted a lion holding seven arrows representing their seven provinces. State currency may have provided further inspiration; a 1775 South Carolina bill showed a bundle of 13 arrows and a 1775 Maryland note depicted a hand with an olive branch of 13 leaves.
For the reverse, Thomson essentially kept Barton's design, but re-added the triangle around the Eye of Providence and changed the mottos to Annuit Cœptis and Novus Ordo Seclorum.[25] Thomson sent his designs back to Barton, who made some final alterations. The stripes on the shield were changed again, this time to "palewise" (vertical), and the eagle's wing position was changed to "displayed" (wingtips up) instead of "rising". Barton also wrote a more properly heraldic blazon.
The design was submitted to Congress on June 20, 1782 and was accepted the same day. Thomson included a page of explanatory notes, but no drawing was submitted. This remains the official definition of the Great Seal today.
The first brass die was cut sometime between June and September, and placed in the State House in Philadelphia. It was first used by Thomson on September 16, 1782, to verify signatures on a document which authorized George Washington to negotiate an exchange of prisoners.
Charles Thomson, as the Secretary of Congress, remained the keeper of the seal until the Federal government was formed in 1789. On July 24, 1789, President Washington asked Thomson to deliver the seal to the Department of Foreign Affairs in the person of Roger Alden, who kept it until the Department of State was created.[26] All subsequent Secretaries of State have been responsible for applying the Seal to diplomatic documents.
On September 15, 1789, the United States Congress ordered "that the seal heretofore used by the United States in Congress assembled, shall be, and hereby is declared to be, the seal of the United States."
Sounds all fine and dandy, but does it have even more meaning that's not written in the official account??
Knowing what I know about the Mayan Calendar, I recognized something behind the design. Something NOT written in the official account.
I was first struck by the odd inclusion of a Mayan Pyramid in the Hopkinson (1778) design!
(Francis Hopkinson's 1778 Mayan Step Pyramid)
Why would a MAYAN PYRAMID appear on a seal for the United States?
The Phoenix / Bald Eagle I can easily accept, but a Mayan Pyramid?
No Mayan Pyramids were known to exist in the 1776 United States!
Why include such an image after so many years of painstaking review by committees and congress?
Could it be included to indicate or hint at something else?!
Perhaps the hidden meaning will become clearer if we look to the US Capitol - The streets of Washington DC??
Hmmm... We see that same Pentagram and Compasses appearing in both images!
How Strange!
But not-so-much when we learn that many of the founding fathers of the USA were in fact MASONs!
The Mayan Pyramid seal even identifies its MASONic origins with the phrase NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM. A quick scribble of the pentagram (Eastern Star/ Star of the East) that appears in the Washington DC street map and voila! The Word MASON is revealed to us.
Fascinating! But documented MANY times throughout history by conspiracy-theorists and historians alike!
Is there Something Else to it?
To explore that we need the roman numerals appearing at the bottom of the pyramid and the 13 levels of masonry in the pyramid design.
BUT... we notice that the design is drawn in such a way to indicate its 3-dimensionality.
We note that there's 13 levels in the main design and 4 sides to the pyramid.
13 and 4 appearing in a pyramid within a circle?!
3.14, as we know, is PI. A very inportant value to calculating a circle!
Are those early Masons leading us somewhere with their symbols?!
We note that there's a YEAR appearing in Roman numerals...
the year 1776, via the MDCCLXXVI which is inscribed ON the bottom level of the Mayan pyramid. An odd placement for sure!
So we make a mental note that the pyramid is conveying a DATE with the 1776!
We note that 4 sides of the pyramid each of 13 levels makes for "52".
4 x 13 = 52
How odd that a date should appear on a pyramid of 52?
52 is the number of weeks (sets of 7 days) that we have in our gregorian calendar year.
52 x 7 = 364!
So now we have two devices in the painstainkingly crafted symbol that are indicating date to the observer!
Along with PI (3.14) which we know to be associated with the Circle (aka the CYCLE).
As a CYCLE we note that the MAYAN GREAT CYCLE is 5200 tuns!
Could this be a hit? It certainly fits with the crafting of the design!
So we explore further...
13 and 52 are key numbers in the Mayan calendar systems.
In the Mayan Great Cycle, there are 13 baktuns of 20 katuns each. Each katun consists of 20 tuns or 19.7 Years of our modern western calendar years. So, we see, there are 5200 tuns in the Great Cycle!
20 x 20 = 400 (x 13) = 5200
20 tuns x 20 katuns x 13 baktuns = 5200
Here we realize we've hit paydirt! A MAYAN pyramid being used to intentionally convey "52" and we see that same 52 in the 5200 of the Mayan Great Cycle!
Maybe it's just a strange coincidence, you say?
Perhaps NOT! Seeing as we note that the both the Aztec calendar and Cortez appear in the US Capital Rotunda! Again leading us below the southern border of the USA - to land of the Maya!
So let's explore some math (Uggh!)...
13 levels x 19.7 years = 256.1 years
Here we note again that 1776 on the bottom blocks of the Mayan Pyramid!
1776, however, is not the beginning of the bottom blocks but is actually the end date of the bottom blocks
To find our beginning we subtract 19.7 years from 1776...
1776 - 19.7 = 1756.3
Now we have a start year to work from... 1756.
1756.3 + 19.7 years lands us right on the noted in roman numeral date of 1776.
But what happens if we assume the same 19.7 years for every level of the 13 levels of the Mayan Pyramid??
we see that 1756.3 + 256.1 years = 2012.4
We just found the WOW signal!
We know, from many many other mathematicians and historians that the mayan calendar rolls over to Baktun 13 on December 21st, 2012!
A baktun (properly b'ak'tun) is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar. It contains 144000 days, equal to 394.26 tropical years
13 x 20 = 256
2012 - 256 = 1756
5125 years (3114 BC to 2012)
For those requiring exactitude in their calculations...
The actual corresponding METONIC period of each of the levels of the pyramid is 19.713 tropical years.
Most of the Maya calendar intervals accumulate as multiples of 20. An interval of 7,200 days (360 × 20) was known as a katun. It takes 20 katuns to complete a baktun (20 × 7,200 = 144,000 days). Although some ancient inscriptions turn 13 baktuns into
an important reset milestone, others imply that the calendar simply keeps running.
For instance, it takes 20 baktuns to make a pictun.
It is important we note that "72" of the 7200 in the above explanation!
72 degrees is the number of degrees between the arms of a perfectly formed PENTAGRAM (or 5 armed star).
We note:
There are 144000 days per baktun
13 baktuns = 13 x 144000 days = 1,872,000 days
360 x 20 = 7200 days
It takes 20 katuns to complete a baktun
(20 × 7,200 = 144,000 days)
I think this is the perfect time to note...
"Novus Ordo Seclorum" acronyms to NOS or "SON", in reverse, and the hexagram (aka Star of DaViD) and the pentagram too both reveal the word "M.A.S.O.N"
And a good time to note that...
the complete 13 baktun "Great Cycle" is 260 katuns (of 19.713 years for 1,872,000 days) making our starting "1756 katun" Katun # 247.
3114 BC + 1756 AD = 4870 years
4870 / 19.713 = 247.045 katuns
August 11, 3114 BC is the date given by many many scholars as the Start Date of the Mayan Calendar.
I note it as 8/11/3114 BC. The Year containing within a reference to PI in the 3114. as being made up of the digits 3,1,4
So back to the exploration!
Today November 9, 2012 (11/9/12) aka Mayan Long Count 12.19.19.15.18.
It is 42 days (3x14) to the infamous 13.0.0.0.0 (13 Baktun) rollover of the Mayan Calendar which occurs on December 21, 2012 (12/21/12).
and by our math and careful observation we see that the Mayan Pyramid of the Great Seal (Great Circle/ Great Cycle) also encodes the same information about 13 baktun.
Beginning in the year 1756, with 1776 completing the first level of the 13 levels, we see that, with each level being 19.713 years...
We arrive precisely at December 21, 2012 at the end of the 13th level
The EYE (5,25,5 in simple gematria) of Providence floating abov its peak (13th level) conveying the 14th level (7x2) and beyond!

UPDATE (2012-11-11):
PI in the BIBLE and the Mayan 144,000...
Revelation 14 verse 3
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Chapter 14 verse 3 again we find the digits of PI (3.14)
Revelation 14 verse 1
King James Version (KJV)
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
In the image above (and the one below) I have "stood" the greek alphabet character "LAMBDA" on the pyramid / Mount SION.
In this image we see that line A-B of the pentagram indicates 144 degrees of the circle.
There are 72 degrees between point C and point D.
Refer back to the 144,000 and the 7200 in the article above!
An interval of 7,200 days (360 × 20) was known as a katun. It takes 20 katuns to complete a baktun (20 × 7,200 = 144,000 days).
It is important we note that "72" of the 7200 in the above explanation!
72 degrees is the number of degrees between the arms of a perfectly formed PENTAGRAM (or 5 armed star).
Since I've been posting articles about the CAL-Ender Mysteries and relaying the syncs, semiotic observances, patterns and cycles to the Maya Calendar End Date of 12.21.12 ...
Here's some interesting videos found on youtube (props to jho for the heads up) with 10,000 years of Indigenous / First Nations Prophecy that I thought might be a great fit to the series - and especially so with Comet 103P/Hartley 2 (Heartly / Earthly!) currently dancing its way through the constellations.
(I've got few other things piling up that I've got to work on and it will give you something to think about other than mathematics for a while!)
For more on HOPI Wisdom and Indigenous Prophecies visit the excellent archives of Crystal Links at:
This post is dedicated to all the people that were so warm and welcoming during my visit to HOPI and NAVAJO lands in 2003. I look forward to the day when we can all meet again!
Consider this article "An Intro to the Calendar Mysteries" (...ok, it's really more like an Intro to the Intro....)
Before We Begin: To those who hate numbers today as much as they did way back on that 3rd grade math exam, I apologize!
But the CALENDAR is based on numbers!
Try to make your way through it and I'll attempt to flesh out the basics in the upcoming articles. Feel free to post a comment about anything you'd like to have made more clear.
Now: as I've mentioned before on my Twitter Page, (HINT: the "MORE" button at the bottom of the Twitter Page is your friend, click it!!) I'll almost always check the "dates" against the END DATE of the MAYA Calendar which is 12 December 2012 (12.21.12)
and as the planet VENUS was instrumental in the MAYA Calendar I also often check against the FINAL Transit of VENUS of the MAYA Calendar on 5 June 2012 (BEGIN at 6/5/2012 @ 10:13 PM (UTC) as viewed from Washington, DC) (I use the more appropriate date of '6/5/12' because that's the date when the 2012 Venus Transit will occur in the "Home of the MAYA" which is North, Central, and South America )
I Actually use Gregorian, MAYA, Julian, Hebrew, and Egyptian calendars as my primary "date testing" calendars... but we'll explore the uses and WHYs of the various Calendar systems in later installments.
Mercury NEWS coverage: "San Mateo County opened emergency centers and a shelter at the San Bruno Recreation Center while activating a reverse 911 message system to alert residents."
also...
"Two brothers, Bob and Ed Pellegrini, live near the house at the center of the explosion, reported to have occurred at Claremont and Glenview drives"
"It looked like hell on earth. I have never seen a ball of fire that huge," Bob PELLEGRINI said.
Something struck me as odd about those "brothers", and it wasn't ONLY the fact that there's "19" words in the paragraph: "It looked like hell on earth. I have never seen a ball of fire that huge," Bob PELLEGRINI said.
so we investigate possibilities by searching (google, bing, etc) for "Pellegrini"
For our "19" so we continue looking at G.A. Pellegrini's Birthday
16+75 = 91 (9+1=10)
aha... "19" reversed is "91"
(While we're looking, we make a quick check to "2012" or /12 4/29/75 (works)... 4/29/12
So now we look at "4/29" as related to this event date:
We start with this year, 2010 (or /10 as a 2 digit year on a date) (Recall: we found a "10" already from the '19' as "1+9")
From and including: Thursday, April 29, 2010 To, but not including : Thursday, September 9, 2010 is 133 days (or 4 months, 11 days or 19 weeks) excluding the end date
4,11 = 4,2
What's the posted at "time" on that Bloomberg article in the picture above? Right.. 4:11
Early story at SF Gate Deputy San Mateo County Coroner April Florent said "there are deaths, but we do not have a number right now." She said it would take awhile to compile a count because investigators must go from house to house.
APRIL 29 (4/29) is day number 119 of the Gregorian Calendar
4,38 = 4 , 11 or 4,2 4,29 = 4 , 11 or 4,2
The time of the Explosion was 6:15 pm (or 18:15)
18 + 15 = 33
The official time of 6:15 was taken from the ORIGINAL (not the now UPDATED) article at MERCURY News
Check out the photo slideshow of the area at MERCURY NEWS
Did someone say MERCURY (aka the Greek Hermes)?? Right... that was ME!
The BLOOMBERG article above shows us the same "6, 15" info, as above, in this way: "...The Pipeline ruptured at about 6pm local time starting a fire that spread rapidly over an area of 15 acres..."
6 pm and 15 6 pm in 24hr time is 18:00 18pm + 15 acres = 33
From 9.9.2010 forward to the next 4.29 (4/29/2011) is 33 weeks
AND...
From the 4.29 of 2012 4.29.12 to 12.21.2012 (maya calendar end date) is 33 weeks
So...
SAINT JaSON's Day, (Day number 119 of the Gregorian CALendar)... 4/29 is "The CENTER" (see Mercury NEWS Pellegini above)
Remember the SAN JOSE MINE COLLAPSE in Chile? The one with the "33" trapped miners that happened on 8/5/2010 at 14:00 (EDT).
Maybe this way... "35" days before the Explosion on Skyline Blvd (Cal State Route "35")?
The 33 miners that were finally located "17" days after the collapse on 8.22.10
Recall: Cal State Route 82 is Sneath Lane.
State Route 35 (SR 35) in the U.S. State of California, generally known as Skyline Boulevard, is a 2-lane road running along the western ridge of Silicon Valley in California. It runs from Highway 17 to San Francisco at State Route 1.
The Silicon Valley area is often referred to simply as "SAN JOSE" SAN JOSE is spanish for Saint JOSEPH, Jesus's (Hey Zeus) earthly father. Saint Joseph is one of the saints that gets a double Feast Day. One on 3/19 and then a second one (2 days after 4/29) on MAY DAY or 5/1 (aka the other LABOUR DAY.)
Trivia: Just West of Skyline Boulevard is San Andreas Lake, outside the city limits, which gave its name to the famous San Andreas Fault in 1895 The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that runs a length of roughly 810 miles (1,300 km) through California in the United States.
810 = 9 x 9 x 10 (maybe it's easier to read this way... 9/9/10)
We'll explore the deeper connections and how one thing points to another in further installments in this "CAL-Ender Mysteries" series.

Strange Eye Blog Trivia: This is article #114. (Yes, I know 114 doesn't = 87, but some haven't been published Yet!)
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.
Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, because of Archimedes' popular approximation of π being 22/7. However, this may be considered misleading, as all cited dates are "approximation days" (as π is an irrational number) and 22/7 is actually a closer approximation of π than 3.14 is. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format.
Sometimes Pi Minute is also celebrated; this occurs twice on March 14 at 1:59 a.m. and 1:59 p.m. If π is truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes 3.1415926; making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., Pi Second (or sometimes March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58 a.m.). If 24-hour time is used, Pi Minute occurs once, on March 14 (3/14) at 1:59.
There are a large variety of ways of celebrating Pi Day and most of them include eating pie and discussing the relevance of π. The first Pi Day celebration was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies. The museum has since added pizza to its Pi Day menu.
The founder of Pi Day was Larry Shaw, a now-retired physicist at the Exploratorium who still helps out with the celebrations.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology often mails its acceptance letters to be delivered to prospective students on Pi Day.
Some also celebrate alternative Pi Days and/or Pi Approximation Days in addition to the two listed above; these can fall on any of several dates:
March 4: When 14% of the 3rd month has elapsed.
April 26: The Earth has traveled two radians of its orbit on this day (April 25 in leap years), reckoning from the start of the calendar year on January 1. Thus the entire orbit divided by the distance traveled equals π; two radians equals 1⁄π of our orbit. This is celebrated exactly on the 41st second of the 23rd minute of the 4th hour on April 26 or the 116th day. (In leap years, it is celebrated exactly on the 3rd second of the 2nd minute of the 12th hour on April 25 or the 116th day.) This celebration is not a Pi Approximation Day.
[the second occurs 116 days later on August 20, (8/20 day 232) - astute observers will note that the 2 days fall in the only 2 months of the calendrical year to begin with the letter "A" in the english language... Letter "A" is symbolic representation of the COMPASSES, a tool used to draw a perfect circle.]
November 10: The 314th day of the year (or 11/9 (mm/dd - USA) or 9/11 (dd/mm - EU/CANADA) in leap years).
December 21, 1:13 p.m.: The 355th day of the year (December 20 in leap years), celebrated at 1:13 for the Chinese approximation 355/113.
On Pi Day 2004, Daniel Tammet recited 22,514 decimal digits of π.
On 12 March 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (HRES 224), recognizing March 14, 2009 as National Pi Day.
So a big Thank You to the House and Resolution number 224 (HRES 224) for the USA National PI DAY!
On Pi Day 2010, Google celebrated by changing the logo on the search engine's home page into a Pi related sketch up featuring Pi and other mathematical symbols.
Happy PI DAY to all the Strange Eye readers over the past year! (and Happy PI DAY to you Mr. Shaw!)
Here's a couple of links to past PI related work on Strange Eye:

And if you still haven't read it, I suggest you find the time to read (or even re-read) Sidney, Crosby, Patrick, KANE and ABE L - from March 8 on Strange Eye...
Just 36 hours after my Shakira SOS Article and Aceshowbiz.com is reporting that her record label, Epic Records, bumped the release date of Shakira - She Wolf from October 13,2009 (10.13) to November 17,2009 (11.17)!
Shakira's 'She Wolf' Album Release Pushed Back - September 21, 2009 04:17:06 GMT Although it was originally scheduled to hit U.S. stores on October 13, the third English studio album from the Columbian singer will not come out until mid-November. --- Fans apparently have to wait longer to get a hold of Shakira's "She Wolf". The third English studio album, which was set to be released in U.S. stores on October 13, reportedly will not arrive until more than a month later. In the store section of record label Epic Records' site, the singer's latest effort is listed to be released on November 17.
Of the upcoming album, the 32-year-old has opened up to MTV earlier about what to expect. "It's a very electronic album," she stated. "Dance-oriented. Club-oriented. I want people to have fun with it. Forget about the troubles. Forget about the crisis. Forget everything for a minute - at least while they listen to the music."
For "She Wolf", the Columbian songstress teamed up with Pharrell Williams and Wyclef Jean. She incorporates elements of Colombian, Indian, Middle Eastern and African musical styles in this studio project. Lead single which title is also "She Wolf" has been released and topped U.S. Billboard Latin Songs. A music video for the track has also been premiered.
About the song, she previously told Rolling Stone, " 'She Wolf' came to me very mysteriously, I was in the studio in a bad mood that day, then I got inspired and went to a corner and I wrote the lyrics and the melody in 10 minutes. The image of the she wolf just came to my head, and when I least expected it I was howling and panting."
Apparently due to sliding chart numbers for the track "SHE WOLF", EPIC wants to try again with Shakira's - She Wolf cd track entitled "Did it Again"
Shakira in the Jimmy Kimmel Pontiac Garage (9.19.09)
Did Jimmy just say the CD release was next month? I guess on 9.19.09 nobody told him it was going to be 11.17 instead of 10.13, and Shakira didn't correct him...

"Now Strangeye, What's with that??", you ask...
Well, frankly I don't know, but you know I'll take a look and speculate ;) Actually, I'll point out a few interesting coincidences and we can speculate together in the Post Comments... So here goes...
According to the Wikipedia page on October 13: Aside from being the famous Templar destruction day (1307), "October 13 is the 286th day of the year (287th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 79 days remaining until the end of the year". ref: almost all of my posts so far this Month (September 2009)
According to the Wikipedia page on November 17: "November 17 is the 321st day of the year (322nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 44 days remaining until the end of the year" 44 days - as we learned in my previous article on Shakira, she's a big Obama supporter.
On October 13, 2009 the SUN is to rise at 7:16 AM and set at 6:32 PM, and reach a max ALT of 43.1° at 12:54 PM (Washington, DC local time)
On November 17, 2009 the SUN is to rise at almost 7am and set at almost 17:00hrs and reach a max ALT of 32.0° at 11:52 AM (Washington, DC local time)
And another interesting note on November 17, aside from there being 44 days remaining in 2009 on that date...
From and including: Tuesday, November 17, 2009
To, but not including : Friday, December 21, 2012 (The famous MAYAN calendar date)
It is 1130 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 3 years, 1 month, 4 days excluding the end date
Alternative time units 1130 days can be converted to one of these units: 97,632,000 seconds 1,627,200 minutes 27,120 hours 161 weeks (rounded down)
View to the East at sunrise on 11.17.09 -
Venus, the Morning Star / Eosphoros, Ceres, Saturn and Virgo have already risen as the Sun is rising over the hor-i-zon in Libra.
View to the West at sunrise on 11.17.09 - Aldebaran, the Archangel Michael, and Taurus are setting in the west at Sunrise. Galactic center / Milky Way on the horizon.
Shakira emphasizes the IRA (Eye of RA) One hand to the R the other to the E (RE) She's covering/obscuring the AK - the AhK. With the "W" covered she's got the "FLO"... Maybe now she'll give'em "SheOL"!
World famous Colombian singer Shakira received the ‘Child Right Award’ from UNICEF Germany on Monday, the organization's press office reported.
"Shakira has committed herself to the children and young people of the world’ Regine Stachelhaus, Executive Director of UNICEF Germany, said at the presentation of the award in Offenburg, Germany.
The ‘Child Rights Award’ recognizes the sustained commitment of stars who volunteer as UNICEF international ambassadors to help children and young people to get involved against violence, poverty, and AIDS, and advocate for their right to education.
Shakira has been a UNICEF ambassador since 2003 and has represented UNICEF worldwide. She is also the founder of projects that promote young children education, such as the Barefoot School in Colombia, the International Barefoot Foundation, and ALAS Foundation for Latin America.
On Monday 9.21.09 Shakira was awarded the ‘Child Right Award’. (CRA / ARC!)
November 17 and 18 will be the Leonids Meteor Shower. The Leonids is one of the better meteor showers to observe, producing an average of 40 meteors per hour at their peak. The shower itself has a cyclic peak year every 33 years where hundreds of meteors can be seen each hour. The last of these occurred in 2001. The shower peaks this year on November 17 & 18, but you can usually see some meteors from November 13 - 20. The moon will be totally out of the way this year (in New Moon phase), providing an exceptional viewing experience for the Leonids. Look for the shower radiating from the constellation Leo after midnight. Regulus is the most well-known star in the Constellation Leo. Regulus is Archangel Raphael - one of the Four Royal Stars of ancient Persian astronomy, the Four Guardians of Heaven. (see also: The Four Horseman)
Regulus enters the sign Virgo in 2012 AD. It entered the sign Leo in 156 BC.
Regulus is one of the four key stars in the heavens, also called archangel stars, assigning:
Tasoheter - Michael (Aldebaran) watcher of the East;
Satevis - Oriel/Uriel (Antares) Watcher of the West;
Hastorang - Gabriel (Fomalhaut) watcher of the South;
Venant - Raphael (Regulus) Watcher of the North.
The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram evokes the Archangels, during which the practioner declares the Archangels Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel to be present, while visualizing them at the four cardinal points and tracing stars.
Strange Eye is an independant and not-for-profit blog. It is not aligned with nor supported by ANY group, organization, cult, sect, religion or otherwise. It exists with an open mind to explore, enjoy, ponder, postulate and speculate about events occuring around us all.
Welcome to you new Strange Eye readers from around the globe who have made your way to this blog and are looking around going "what the heck is this stuff all about??"
In a sentence, Strange Eye is a Jungian Synchronicity and Semiotic Observance and Research blog.
But What does that Mean??
it means that at this Strange Eye blog, we consider even the smallest or singular events of daily life as connected to and expressions of the bigger picture of ALL existence. The articles build upon each other in progression, none truly stand alone here.
The Strange Eye motto would be - if ever there was such a motto - ALL for ONE and ALL IS ONE.
While reading "Strange Eye" you may come to see the repeated expression of the belief that WE are all intimately connected parts of the Whole of Existence... that WE are part of and ONE with the UNIVERSE - and not just in it!
Because of this, WE are all able to experience and observe the workings of the UNIVERSE through semiotics and Synchronicity - from the macrocosmic to the microscopic - and through the witnessing of these events and workings, come to better understand our own existence and the active parts we play in creating it.
So Welcome, explore the blog archives, read, comment, post your synchs... and may you recognize and feel the synchronicities and spirit floW... strong and clear - and may you truly experience, on a deeply personal level, the beauty of the design hidden behind the machinations of everyday life.
~SE~
Notes:
"There are no jokes in synchromysticism, even when there are!" - Strange Eye (2009)
Penelope, the Queene, when she had view'd The strange eye-dazeling, admirable sight, Faine would have praisd the state and pulchritude, But she was stricken dumbe with wonder quite, Yet her sweet minde retain'd her thinking might ; Her rauisht minde in heaunly thoughts did dwel, But what she thought, no mortall tongue can tel.
