911, 2011 and the Grocery Clerk - Conversations from the checkout queue

So... I'm at the local mega grocery store and the young clerk had just finished a conversation with the person ahead of me.

The cordial young fellow asks the common question that a grocer asks a customer on a Friday eve, "So how are you this evening?" and I reply without hesitation, in my friendly manner, "I am doing well today! How 'bout yourself?"

He replies, "I'm good. But isn't it strange how sometimes you think of someone you haven't seen in a long time and then a couple of days later... BAM... there they are!"

Wow!
He really didn't know who he was talking to now ... or maybe he did on another level. Because Kid that kind of topic is the preferred fodder for a synchro-watcher like myself! It doesn't even matter that 20 other people are waiting their turn. Have at it boy!

"Yep! That will happen more and more in our run-up to 2012", I slyly remark.

"uh huh.. I've heard that 2012 is supposed to be the End of the World or something!", says the clerk.

"Nah. I really don't think so. Not the end of the world per se. The end of the world as we know it and have outgrown it maybe, but not 'the end' of the world. And I do think we're going to be experiencing changes in ways that we could scarcely have imagined", I replied.

So we banter back and forth for a bit, while he scans and carefully bags my groceries. I load the bulky items and the bags he's finished with, as we chat on, in to the cart for the trek outside to the Jeep. (sorry to the greenies that winced on Jeep) I Live in those colder northern regions so for the southern folk with your 80 degree winters who've never experienced pushing a shopping cart through a parking lot with 6 inches of snow on it, it can be a fun fight.

Anyway, back to the conversation...

The kid suddenly, practically out of nowhere, makes the jump to the 9/11 topic.

I'm sure my eyebrows raised a little as I gave a quick look around. I could see some of the people in the line grimace and others kind of cock their heads and listen discreetly. Perhaps for those it was more of the morbid fascination we humans seem to experience when facing the tragedy of these topics - like the need to look at an accident on the freeway - but none-the-less I thought to myself,
"Ah what the hell... Go for it kid. Let's hear what you've got to say about it..."

So I gave him my attention and listened.

He proceeded to explain to me about steel structures and fires, Building 7, his engineering courses and professors' opinions on steel structures and the like. He wasn't some paranoid ranting. He was just some ordinary kid working at a job the best he could, confronting his inner dragons to a stranger, all to pay his way on the journey that is higher education and learning.

And I couldn't help but smile.

Like the Cheshire Cat and thought to myself,
"Good for you kid! You give me hope in the next generation. Question everything! All of our futures depend on it!"

But that brief rehash of the event got the hindsight working overtime in the car on the way home.

Ok, maybe I was distracting myself from the dread that was creeping up on me at the thought of having to trudge through the snow (which I've yet to clear off my driveway - note to self: "Get that snow cleared!") and lug all those bags into the house - placing my 'food-stuff items' neatly in their spots in the fridge and in the pantry.

But here's what I was thinking on the way home...

WORLD TRADE CENTER...9..11..

WTC, The buildings were both the symbollic and literal trade and financial center of the world, pre-9/11.

What is it about that 9 and 11 ?
It is such a powerful symbol and was so overused for dark endeavors by the previous administration... but why, and what about it?

And then I thought, "Oh WOW!"
Might it really be so simple?
Could it be the synch symbol foreshadowing the years 2009 to 2011 ?

Let's explore that...
On 9/11, THE center of the financial world came crashing down in New York city.

Would that be, could that be, the semiotic symbol of the world-wide financial and economic crash we find ourselves heading deeper into in the year 2009?

Might the symbol of that terrible day have meant that the economic crash would begin in about 2009 and last until about 2011 ?

Will the economy, like the towers, come completely apart and tumble down. All the way down to the baseline, as though it were a financial ground-zero, by 2011?

Is that what that date was foretelling?

Perhaps it is only the falling away of some old ways. The purification by fire. Our mettle tempered and hardened by the cosmic blacksmith. The shedding of the things that were holding us back from where the great spirit wants us to go.

Is this what 2012, calling out from the future, wants from us?
To let go, unencumbered and enjoy the wild ride?


Well anyway, just a little light musing on the symbols - and an interesting Friday eve grocery experience - that I thought I would share with you all while I work out the flow of my upcoming articles...

Let Me Introduce You to...

... the Number 142857


"Oh, Strange Eye not MATH!", you say!
"Not math - MA'ATh - the Mystical numbers for all truth seekers", I reply.

and besides...
synchromystics like to point out numbers
(the underlying fabric of the Multiverse!)

Have You Met the Number 142857 ?

If you've never met before,
let me take this moment to introduce you
to a very mystical number:

142857


it is found through ANY number not evenly divisible by the number 7

the result is a repeating sequence or cycle of the digits 1,4,2,8,5,7

x.142857...

Such as how the ancient Egyptians calculated the value for "Pi":

22 / 7 = 3.142857142857142857142857142857...

3."142857" "142857" "142857" "142857" "142857"...

Note that the individual digits never stray from 1,4,2,8,5,7
...until we multiply it by by a single 7 (one Seven)!


142857 x 1 = 142857

142857 x 2 = 285714

142857 x 3 = 428571

142857 x 4 = 571428

142857 x 5 = 714285

142857 x 6 = 857142


142857 x 7 = 999999


142 + 857 = 999

14 + 28 + 57 = 99



The famous "Number 9" makes an appearance.
The Number 9, - the final of all single digits.
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27
Dual 7's / Two Sevens (77) in mystical math.


The keen-eyed synchromystic number spotters in the readership may already have noticed a few curiosities about this mystic number...

..but for those that haven't, let me point out a big one for you.

The "stage of transition" (from digits 1,4,2,8,5,7 to 999999 - note that there's SIX Nines!) occurs from the 6th to 7th multipliers.

If you multiply the numbers 6 and 7
(6 x 7) and you "don't panic", you get the synchromystic number 42.



42, the "Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything"

Some of the mathematicians in the readership may note that in
Base 13, 6 x 9 = 42
(recall the six nines I pointed out above)
But Douglas Adams kept it mysterious and joked about this observation, saying: "I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13."

Douglas Adams was asked many times during his career why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, but he rejected them all.
On November 3, 1993, he gave an answer on alt.fan.douglas-adams:

" The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do.' I typed it out. End of story. "

" There are no jokes in synchromysticism, even when there are! "

Now with that info in mind we turn our eye towards the
the 6 Stepped Pyramid of Saqqara, Eqypt rising 60 meters above the desert floor.



The Institute of Egyptian Art & Archaeology at U Memphis tells us:

The Step Pyramid is the first known monumental structure made of stone anywhere in the world. As its name suggests, it is a series of six levels of stone decreasing in size as they ascend to about 200 feet/60 meters in height. Until this time, mastabas had been the principal form of tomb architecture. A mastaba (Arabic for "bench" / "seat") is a low rectangular structure which was built over a shaft which descended to the burial location. The Step Pyramid originally began as a mastaba, and it may have been visualized as a series of mastaba shapes, decreasing in size, stacked one on top of another. Whatever the origin, it creates an impressive geometrical form rising from the floor of the desert.

A good egyptian tour guide will often ask this question of visitors,
"Why do you think they only built 6 levels?"


From WIKIPEDIA

The step pyramid at Saqqara was designed by Imhotep for King Djoser (c.2667-2648 BC). It is the oldest complete hewn-stone building complex known in history. It is also the location of the newly opened (in 2006) Imhotep Museum. It is also where the tomb of King Menes, the first pharaoh of Egypt lies.

If you've seen my comments on articles at other blogs like "The Secret Sun" you'll see that I've mentioned The Pyramid Texts

The Pyramid texts were written on the walls of the complex at Saqqara, Egypt and are the some of the oldest writings in the world.

You can read one translation of The Pyramid Texts here

Another famous translation is by Raymond O. Faulkner

UPDATE:

Personally, I've always taken the origin/etymology of the word MATH to have been from the word MA'AT in Egypt. I know we typically stop at the Greeks, but afterall some Greek knowledge came out of their interactions and relations with the Egyptians.

gr. mathematos = MA'AT-hematos

(Figurative - the science of TRUTH)

Off on a Tangent - Our quantum bodies and our evolution

This post is in response to some thoughts I had while reading

"Slave to the Gods" over at The Secret Sun

The Commentary topic on that article had taken a turn towards the dumbing down of society. My thoughts on the matter were a little long and off on a tangent, so I've posted them here...

---

I tend to think that "dumbing down of society" is not quite as conspiratorial as some may think.

Sure we know that guys like Rockefeller (as was stated in his own words earlier in this last century) and the factions of eugenicists created their education committees and research groups with the express intent of making more manageable workers but I think the opposite may in fact be true.

I think we may getting more intelligent as a species overall. Simply observing the learning capacity and reactions to technological advancement within children of successive generations should give this away. At least it is what I've personally observed.

I think what we think we see as a dumbing-down is not actually that, but rather is a combination of inadequate education coupled with the realization that our morality and spiritual evolution as a species does not yet outweigh our capacity to do ourselves harm.

Yes, our priorities have taken a horrible turn over the whole course of our existence. From the considerate, nuturing, cultivating and spiritual to the material and self-centered, but I believe that is also some natural ebb and flow or sine-wave of progress and evolution, as well.

I believe some of our evolution happens through a level of connection between people and our reality. A level that we know about but do not yet fully understand.

It is a quantum information level. It is that same level that can show us time and again that even people who do poorly on standard extra-sensory perpception-type tests can do amazingly well on tests for knowing when someone is staring at them.

My thoughts are along the lines of our personal aetheric field, or "aura" if you will. A holographic biophotonic field that emanates from within our DNA. That same field that begins projecting at zygote creation and guides cellular development from that very first single cell of our existence, (I know, sometimes it is hard to comprehend that we all in fact did begin our lives as just ONE SINGLE CELL!) to stem cells to heart muscle cells, brain cells, bone cells, nerve tissue, etc, to the unfathomable number of individual cells that make up our bodies. All this occurs 'simply' by the stem cell's respective location within that projected field.

That auric field is both a receiver and transmitter. It carries every drop of data there is about us, from birth to the grave. Everything we've ever experienced, felt, and learned but also has the ability to touch other's fields and share information, subtly, back and forth with those.

As one increases their field, wisens-up or strengthens and brightens it as it were, it shares the knowledge, experience, and wisdom with others. Those other's fields then modulate and resonate harmoniously with the first. And, in a similar but yet stronger effect, is sort of aetheric genetic memory that is then passed on to our offspring and successive generations.

I've WAY over simplified the processes involved here, which includes many other things, complex quantum actions and reactions, frequency matching, observor, participant, etc, but I hope you get the idea of it.

And then to top it off we have the actions of the Sun itself, our planet, the other planetary bodies and cosmic forces. Those very powerful fields which come into contact with our own individual aetheric bodies and affect our resonance and thereby changing our position 'en masse' on the sine-wave of progress.
