Secrets of angelic numerology. Chinese Numerology: Number Meanings and Their Impact on Your Life
60 years since some day, yes, that’s a date. A number that contains some kind of temporary magic, a certain cycle. You can talk at length and at length about what is contained in this cycle, what the numerological riddle is, what its nature is, but if you do not go into deep research, you can simply recognize this fact, it exists, it is a magical formula. An hour consists of 60 minutes, a minute consists of 60 seconds, and 60 years is a rounder date even than 50. There is something in this. Maybe because 50 years is just a round number accepted by man, and 60 is something that came from the world of the supernatural. After the 60th anniversary of that very “Great October” revolution was celebrated with colossal pomp in 1977, somehow immediately, according to contemporaries, it suddenly exhausted its sacred function, turning into a historical fact of the distant past. It became clear that it is necessary and possible to understand this past - the tyrants have left, the system has become decrepit, previously ready to suppress truth-seekers, as happened with Solzhenitsyn and tens, hundreds of thousands of others. And they began to figure it out, dispelling phantoms and lies. The truth turned out to be more than enough to understand the inhuman essence of the Bolshevik government, so terrifying that even the Jews, who once provided the most personnel for the revolution, categorically renounced Bolshevism. Bolshevism inevitably had to be condemned and overthrown, along with the power it generated.
But why, after perestroika, the collapse of the USSR, having given up something, did the Soviet regime continue its earthly existence? The Russian government has retained a certain main core of the Soviet ideological framework. This core was not socialist property and any similar crap, but an international scheme applied to the state structure - read anti-Russian, since it was directed primarily against Russian statehood. The fraternal family of the Soviet peoples, for some unexplained reason, but quite understandable, did without the Russian component. There was Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, even Moldova, but Russia did not exist. There was an RSFSR, but there was no Russia, just as there was no Communist Party of Russia, unlike the Communist Parties of the fraternal republics. Well, was it really just that they avoided this Russian beginning? No, not without reason, this was the basis of the regime created by international rabble - the suppression of Russian national sovereignty and self-awareness. And the Russian government continued this tradition, hence the Russian Federation, hence the revived Soviet anthem. Everyone seems to understand about Russia, it seems to be Russia here, but it is not found anywhere in official documents, but there is a Russian Federation (that’s why we call it Rossiyania). Verbal balancing act? Yes, but that means everything remains as it was under comrades Blank, Dzhugashvili and Andropov (the latter in reality is either Fainshtei or Lieberman). Yes, I must admit, for now, it remains so, despite the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed and the former Soviet republics rushed to build their own national states. The Russians were just a little late. We remained in the same musty anti-Russian scoop, compressed into the Russian Federation. Why was this possible?
The reason for this was the phantom of “Victory”. The greatest tragedy of the Russian people, whose bodies were overwhelmed by the enemy and who lost at least 20 million people in the war, was presented by talented propagandists as a “victory” and became a powerful weapon to influence the minds of Russians. The grief and death of millions turned out to be good material in skillful hands, as a means of hypnosis - justifying the anti-Russian regime, supposedly it “saved” us (apparently, in gratitude for the “salvation” we were supposed to disappear silently). As soon as conversations about Russians began, Russian propaganda immediately began to trumpet with a hundred voices about “our” “victory” over fascism and that it “will not pass” here. In some unknown way, the desire of Russians to live in their own home, in their own state, to be the masters of their property and destiny, was equated with fascism. Just something like, “we defeated fascism,” and “we fought.” Who these “we” are and where they “fought” is another question. Now that 60 years have passed, we can safely say that this door to manipulation has closed, this bogeyman will no longer pass. The last thread to the Russian soul that was being pulled has ended. You can say everything, THE HOUR HAS COME and only Russian statehood is on the agenda, without any extraneous things.
Further, after the first ten, following the mysterious number 10, double-digit numbers begin. They are a combination of single-digit numbers and are therefore secondary to them. Each two-digit number, by summing its constituent digits, can be reduced to a single-digit number, which should be considered its hidden essence. Such a single-digit number is related to a two-digit number as an essence is to a phenomenon. If single-digit numbers are divine and archetypal, then double-digit numbers can be defined as "creation numbers." However, since the act of Creation is considered sacred, double-digit numbers also carry a sacred aspect. Calculations and fortune telling usually take into account only the numbers belonging to the first nine. Let's briefly look at the symbolism of some of the most important two-digit numbers for us.
Number II (Eleven)
It was considered a sacred number, symbolizing “duality in the use of power” (Moebius), which led either to purifying spiritual consequences or to destruction and chaos. This is due to the ambivalent nature of the number II, based on the negation of 10.
Biblical semantic symbolism, developed by Augustine, says that if ten is the law, then the number eleven carries with it a revolutionary violation of any idea of legality. In a sacred esoteric sense, it is a number symbolizing the concept of purification, a sign of life and death, opening the way to the higher spheres of existence. Represents the number of the most faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. H. E. Kerlot writes the following about number II:
"Eleven symbolizes transition, excess and danger, as well as conflict and martyrdom. According to Schneider, it has a certain infernal quality: since it has a certain excess of the perfect number (ten), it therefore means intemperance; but at the same time time it corresponds (like the two) to the mountain in the form of a mandorla, the central point of the symbolic Metamorphosis and the antithesis, since it is composed of one plus one (comparable in its mode of formation to the two)."The occult-hermetic tradition identified with the number II the idea of egregoric chains controlled by the divine will. The ratio of the numbers 5 and 6, that is, their addition 5 + 6 = 11, gives the formula used in ceremonial magic: “The microcosm acts on the macrocosm” (the numbers 6 and 5 were considered the numbers of the Macrocosm and microcosm). The Sufi tradition also attached great importance to the number II, considering it fundamental in its numerical symbolism, where it meant one of the names of Allah. René Guenon emphasized the universal presence of the number II in Dante's symbolism and many secret organizations and spoke of the importance of his works:
"22 is the number of letters of the Hebrew alphabet, it is known what its meaning is in Kabbalah; 33 is the number of years of the earthly life of Christ, which is found in the symbolic age of the Masonic Rosenkreutz, as well as among the degrees of Scottish Freemasonry; among the Arabs, this is the general numerical value of the name of Allah, and 99 is the number of the main divine attributes according to Islamic tradition."The deep sacredness of the number II is emphasized by the researcher of ancient Egyptian numerology I.P. Shmelev, who writes the following about the surviving crypts of the country of Kem:
“In the crypt of Khesi-Ra there were 22 panels, among which there was one capital one (“dean”). This means that there are 2 fields with images and the same number on the back sides, on which diagrams are written, apparently explaining the use of canon technology. Total 22 fields that carry information... The basic scientific principles (principles) of Ancient Egypt are formulated in 22 arcana, consisting of two groups of II arcana each. The first group set out the fundamental ideas about the world order. The number 22 was magical (power), because the first unit. the second step (tier) of the decimal system is the initial (master) level of the next decimal “layer” - it is at the same time the “hierarch” of the previous ten. The “brain trust” of Ancient Egypt, as is known, were the priests-HIEROPHANTS (reading fate or knowing the future) -. Keepers of secret (hermetic) knowledge, which, as noted, included the knowledge of harmony, there were two Hierophants, together with the leader-dean in the South (in Upper Egypt) and the same number of “understudies” in the North (in Lower Egypt).Guenon notes that "The number 22 was retained in the ritual of the 33rd Scottish degree, in which it is associated with the date of the abolition of the Templar Order, calculated according to the Masonic chronology, and not the generally accepted one."
It is worth recalling the 11-year cycle of solar activity, which, according to Chizhevsky’s discovery, has such a great influence on the Earth.
Number 12 (Twelve)It was considered a super-perfect number, a symbol of the “philosopher’s stone”, completeness and the divine circle that rotates the universe. The duodecimal structure of the universe and the presence of the number 12 in many realities of life and religious and spiritual traditions have been noted by many researchers. So Losev, speaking about ancient culture and the works of Homer, testifies:
“In addition to the 12 Hesiodian titans given above, we find in Homer: 12 Thracians killed by Diomedes, 12 Trojans killed when Achilles appeared after the death of Patroclus; 12 captives sacrificed by Achilles; 12 sacrificial bulls, 12 participants in the Odyssean reconnaissance, 12 Ithacan suitors of Penelope , 24 (twice 12) grooms from Zama; 12 slaves busy grinding grain; 12 unfaithful and executed maids in the house of Odysseus, 12 Phaeacian kings, 12 horses of Agamemnon for reconciliation with Achilles, 12 foals of Boreas, 12 sacrificial calves of Hector, 12 bulls as the price of a tripod for the winner at the games in honor of Patroclus, 12 mares for one of Penelope’s suitors, 12 legs for Scylla. And these are not all examples of the use of the number 12 in Homer. It was applied to cities, ships, and sheds for pigs. , amphorae, axes, jewelry, clothes."Indeed, “12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 hours of day and night, 12 main Olympic gods, 12 biblical tribes, 12 apostles, 12 days of Christmas,” according to the researcher of number symbolism A. Holguin, speak of the all-pervasive and omnipresent nature of the number twelve. Arcanological Hermeticism associates with this number the idea of sacrifice, as the only possible condition for a person’s ascent to God. H.E. Kerlot writes: "Twelve symbolizes cosmic order and salvation. It corresponds to the number of signs of the Zodiac and is the basis of all duodecimal groups. Associated with it are the concepts of space and time, as well as the wheel and circle."
The number 12, many occultists note, is a product of 3 and 4, containing all manifestations of matter and spirit, the various rhythms of the universe, the world order of the manifested cosmos.
Of all the numbers, "twelve" has the widest scope, since the Tarot formulas contain two groups of twelve and four of fourteen, but the components of these numbers do not have sacred and archetypal significance. Kerlot writes about this:
“Taking into account that the two essential prototypes of quantity are the numbers “three” and “four” (meaning, respectively, dynamism or internal spirituality, and stability or external activity), it can be argued that their sum and their product give the two numbers next in importance: "seven" and "twelve". The latter corresponds to the geometric dodecagon; it can, however, also be associated with the circle, since their symbolic meanings are almost identical. Thus, systems or schemes based on the circle or cycle tend to be obtained in the form of a finite limit. the number "twelve." Even if structures initially consist of fewer than twelve elements, they later tend to tend toward the perfect number "twelve," as in music, where the seven-note modal scale developed into the twelve-note system of Arnold Schoenberg and his school. "The circular nature of the number twelve testifies to the presence in it of a special order, based on schemes capable of breaking up either into a purely internal tripartite division of an external quaternary scheme, or into an external four-part division of an already internal ternary scheme. All this is evidence of the special symbolism of the Zodiac, built on the principle of the possibility of manifesting the four elements in three different ways (levels). Together this gives twelve divisions. The mystic Saint-Yves d'Alweider believed that in communities of people following the symbolic tradition, "the circle that stands highest and closest to the mysterious center consists of twelve divisions that represent the highest initiation (abilities, virtues and knowledge) and which, among other things, correspond to the Zodiac." Interesting thoughts about this number are expressed by Guenon, who claims that the twelvefold formula can be found in the “circular Council” of the Dalai Lama, in the person of the legendary Knights of the Round Table and the historical twelve peers of France. Kerlot points out that according to this principle The Etruscan state was divided, and Romulus established the institution of twelve lictors.
The symbolism of the number 12 was closely connected with the image of Heavenly Jerusalem. The revelation of John the Theologian contains the following description of the Mystical City:
“It (the city) has a large and high wall, has twelve gates and twelve Angels on them; on the gates are written the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: on the east there are three gates, on the north there are three gates, on the south there are three gates, on the west there are three gates. The wall The city has twelve foundations, and on them are the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb." Elsewhere in the Apocalypse it says: "And he showed me a pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, bearing fruit twelve times, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves tree for the healing of the nations."Number 13 (Thirteen)
Usually the number 13 is considered unlucky, which is why in many countries this number is not found on the doors of offices, hotel rooms, ship cabins, and houses. This is due to the fact that this number is one higher than the considered super-perfect dozen, and this is dangerous due to disharmony, explosion, and too rapid a transition to a new quality. Hence the connection of this number with the concept of death, since the latter means a transition to a new phase of life, which is another existence in relation to this-worldly existence. The occult tradition claims that the number 13 contains several types of death depending on the causes that cause it, which is expressed in various ways of decomposing the number itself. Here are the types of death Mobius identifies:
1) 13=1+12 - death voluntarily accepted as a sacrifice;
2) 13=12+1 - violent death;
3) 13=11+2 - death consciously choosing its pole;
4) 13=3+10 - natural death from the point of view of human logic;
5) 13=10+3 - natural death from the point of view of the logic of the macrocosm, death in childbirth;
6) 13=4+9 - death, which revealed its secrets during initiation
7) 13=9+4 - premature death from unsuitable living conditions;
8) 13=5+8 - death as required by law (for example, the death penalty);
9) 13=8+5 - death based on the violation of the highest law, that is, suicide;
10) 13=6+7 - death in the struggle for the victory of the idea;
11) 13=7+6 - death in an unequal struggle;
12) 13=12+1 - death as a consequence of the completion of man’s task on earth.The number 13 played an important role in necromancy and dark cults, where it was used as a force with which to summon spirits. At the same time, from an esoteric point of view, the number 13 symbolizes death, followed by transformation and resurrection.
The number 13 is prominent in Masonic symbolism. It was introduced into the Seal of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution in 1789. The 13 stars above the head of the American Eagle symbolize the 13 states that joined the Union. The Seal of Solomon, with its magical basis, includes 13 stars. Symbolism researcher F. Goodman writes in his book “Magical Symbols”:
"The number 13 was undoubtedly of great significance, which explains the presence of thirteen arrows in the eagle's left paw and thirteen branches of an olive branch in the other paw. One paw symbolizes peace, the other war... these extremes were a reflection of the demands of the times."The Thirteenth Aeon was considered in the Gnostic tradition to be the main one, governing the remaining twelve and associated with Jesus Christ.
The mystical root of the number 13, which is arrived at as a result of the theosophical addition of the numbers 1 and 3, is the number four - the sacred tetractys of the Pythagoreans.
Number 14 (Fourteen)Expressing the Rosicrucian point of view on this number, Moebius defines its main quality as “moderation”. The ancient authors viewed it in a similar way, identifying 14 with the idea of hermetic equilibrium.
A. Holguin recalls that it consists of two sevens, which the ancient Kabbalists considered to be a sign of happiness and “meant the number of transformations.” H. E. Kerlot states that "fourteen denotes fusion and organization, as well as justice and moderation." The arcanological approach to the number 14 connects it with the concept of deduction, reversibility or irreversibility of certain processes, and “synthetic study of the entropy of closed systems” (Moebius).
The mystical root of the number 14, obtained as a result of the theosophical addition of the number 1 and 4, is the number five.
Number 15 (Fifteen)This number has been considered by many authors and what distinguishes their opinions is their diversity. Some saw this number as a divine manifestation, others, on the contrary, as a devilish principle. So H. E. Kerlot quite categorically argued that “fifteen is clearly erotic and is associated with the devil.” Indeed, one of the meanings of the 15th Arcana is the figure of Baphomet, the lower aspect of which can be identified with the devil. However, the number 15 had other, much more positive, meanings and was present in biblical numerical symbolism. A. Holguin gives the following characteristics of the fifteen:
“The number of spiritual ascensions, the fifteenth day of the seventh month was respected and sanctified. Mysteriously connected with the problem of good and evil. Unnoticed, it can make a person a slave of pentagrams. For Kabbalists, it represented the meaning of evil.”The number 15 in occult philosophy and practice was identified with the so-called vortex, which has a dual nature. If you approach the innermost essence of the number 15 from the point of view of arcanology, then you can come to the idea of choosing paths inherent in the very nature of the Arcanum. This is predetermined by the mystical root of the number 15, which is equal to the number six, which again relates to the idea of primordial choice.
Number 16 (Sixteen)It was considered a lucky number, since Pythagorean symbolism thought of it as composed of four quadruples - the sacred tetractys. Multiplying four by four acted as a guarantee of happiness.
The number 16 is closely related to the number 10: both of them, according to Rene Guenon’s definition, “occupy the same place, the fourth, in the sequence of numbers, both triangular and quadratic.” In other words, they are contained in both the triangle and the square. In total they give 26, but this number is the numerical value of the letters that form the famous arcanological tetragram - "yod-he-wow-he". Guenon notes that "10 is the numerical value of the first letter (yod), and 16 is the sum of the other three letters (het-wow-het); such a division of the tetragram is completely normal, and the correspondence of its two parts is also very significant: Tetractys is thus identified with yod in the triangle, while the rest of the tetragram fits into the square placed under the triangle." Both the triangle and the square contain four rows of points found in those figures of geomancy which, by their quaternary combinations of 1 and 2, give the number 16 = 4x4. Guenon goes on to say that “geomancy, as its name indicates, has a special connection with the earth, which, according to the Far Eastern tradition, is symbolized by the square.”The astrological tradition, which considered the laws of the operation of numbers in the metaphysical plane of thinking, associated the number sixteen with the concept of “deduction”, built on the approval of some theses to the exclusion of others. - If you look at how this principle of deduction works on all three occult planes, it becomes clear why there are three headings The sixteenth Arcana has such a general meaning: “Logical exception”, “Astral compulsion” and “Physical destruction”. This general meaning of the number 16, associated with the idea of struggle, overcoming and submission, is due to the fact that its mystical root, which is arrived at as a result of the theosophical addition of the numbers 1 and 6, is the number seven, symbolizing victory and domination.
Number 17 (Seventeen)It was considered a number that gives hope. The arcanological tradition associated it with the idea of foresight, the ability to look into the future, therefore in almost all arcanological treatises astrology, which in a certain sense is the science of predicting the future by the location of the stars, was considered against the backdrop of a presentation of the essence of the seventeenth Arcana. That is why the graphic symbol of this Arcana and number was considered to be a large eight-pointed star surrounded by equally small ones. Hence the headings of the seventeenth Arcana, which explain the deep essence of this number - “Hope”, “Intuition”, “Natural divination”, associated with the ability to read the signs of nature, that is, the ability to comprehend the external with the help of the internal. This ability is based on a deep balance between the internal and the external, which in turn goes back to the mystical root of the number 17 (1+7) formed through theosophical addition - the number eight, which is a symbol of balance and karma.
Number 18 (Eighteen)In occultism it was considered a number that brings misfortune and punishment, personifying fate. The arcanological tradition connects it with the concept of “occult enemies”, and even “envoltation”, as well as with the action of a hierarchical law, which in this case may have a negative connotation.
The mystical root of this number, to which the theosophical addition of the two numbers that make it up (1 + 8) comes, is the number nine - the last single-digit digit of the natural series of numbers and, accordingly, the last archetypal single-digit number. The properties of the numbers 9 and 18 will be discussed in more detail separately, in the chapter “Numbers, cycles, history.”Number 19 (Nineteen)
The Hermetic tradition connects this number with the Sun and the idea of “solar work”, proclaimed by Hermes Trismegistus. Alchemists saw in it a sacred symbol of gold and believed that it was also the number of the “philosopher’s stone”, carrying completeness and perfection, which are born from the combination of the first and last single-digit number of the archetypal plane. In Kabbalah, this number was also considered auspicious, since it consists of two lucky numbers, giving rise to an even happier and more perfect number.
The mystical root of the number, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of two numbers (2+9), is the number ten, personifying the idea of completeness and law.Number 20 (Twenty)
This number, completing the second ten of two-digit numbers, symbolizes the idea of change, evolution, renewal. One of the subtitles of the twentieth Arcana is the concept of transformation occurring in time. This is due to the fact that the planet Saturn, esoterically responsible for managing the processes of time, is considered, according to Moebius, and the Rosicrucian tradition to be the astrological patron of this Arcanum.
The mystical root of the number 20, which is arrived at as a result of the theosophical addition of two numbers of its components (2+0), is the number two - a symbol of Great Nature, the Mother of All That Is and Divine Duality.
Number 21 (Twenty one)It was considered the number of the “crown of magic”. From an arcanological point of view, the twenty-first Arcana is exceptional and stands out so much from other Arcana that it was given a second special name - the “zero” Arcana. The number 21 is associated with divination, spells and theurgic activities, as it consists of three sevens or seven triplets, the combination of which was considered to have extraordinary occult properties. Therefore, prayers, mantras, spell formulas of various religions and esoteric traditions require either three or seven repetitions.
The mystical root of the number, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of two numbers of its components (2+1), is the number three - a symbol of the Divine Mind, the Son, Harmony.
Number 22 (Twenty two)It was considered a number that personifies the highest Reason and deep wisdom, which has a final, final character. It is not for nothing that the graphic symbol of this number is considered to be the great Serpent biting its own tail. The number of letters of the Hebrew language, the alphabet of which was considered solar.
The mystical root of the number 22, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its components (2+2), is the number four - the divine Tetractys of the Pythagoreans.
Number 24 (Twenty four)It was considered sacred in both the East and the West. The Indian philosophical system of Sankhya considered this number as a sacred symbol of the universe, corresponding to the number of original qualities (sattvas) of which it consists. The alchemical tradition sought to link this number with geometric spatial properties, spoke of six pyramids, “each of which consists of four triangles,” meaning the elements and giving a total of “the magical number 24, the number of the Elders before the Throne” (Manly Hall).
Jacob Boehme considers the number 24 as a mystical doubling of the number 12, associated with the number of letters of the alphabet:
“The number twelve covers two kingdoms: angelic and human. Each of these kingdoms, in turn, contains two seners: one fiery - the property of the abyss, and the other airy - the property of animals and earthly creatures. The center of each of these seners produces new seners, earthly or fiery, depending on the planet; this is how the number twenty-four comes about, and here is the base of the letters of the alphabet."
The mystical root of this number is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.
Number 26 (Twenty six)It was considered a sacred number primarily in the Kabbalistic tradition. If we consider the Tree of Sephiroth and add up the numbers of the four Sephiroth in the central column, starting at the highest point of the Tree - the Crown (Kether), then the resulting sum 1 + 6 + 9 + 10 will be equal to the number 26. Therefore, this number is called the number of Jehovah.
The mystical root of the number 26 will be eight - a symbol of Karma with its law of balance that exists between cause and effect.
Number 27 (Twenty seven)The Pythagorean tradition considered this number sacred, at the level of the third ten, completing the cycle of the first numbers and representing a symbol of the World Soul in both its static and dynamic aspects. Explaining the Pythagorean and Platonic system of views regarding numbers, the French astronomer and esotericist Camille Flammarion wrote:
"...27 is the sum of the first linear numbers - prime numbers among themselves, their squares and cubes added to one: first 1, meaning a point; then 2 and 3, the first prime numbers, of which one is even, and the other is odd; 4 and 9, the first are squares, one is even and the other is odd; finally, 8 and 27, both volumes, or cubes, one is even and the other is odd (i.e. 27); ) constitutes the sum of all (F3) first. So, taking the number 27 as a symbol of the universe, and the numbers contained in it as symbols of the elements and constituent parts of the universe, it turns out that the World Soul, which is the basis and form of the world’s composition and order, contains within itself. the same elements as the number 27." The mystical root of the number 27 is the number nine.
Number 28 (Twenty eight)It was considered a number mystically associated with the moon, since it was equal to the number of days of the lunar month. Sacred number in Islam. The number of letters in the Arabic language, the alphabet of which was considered lunar.
In the Kabbalistic tradition, 28 is the number of the perfect person, whose triune composition (spirit, soul and body) has a numerical expression. José Argüeles states that “28 is the sum of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7, which can be represented as a triangle with sides equal to seven.” Therefore, three periods of 28 years are equal to 84, the number considered the ideal length of human life.
The mystical root of the number 28, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of two numbers of its components (2+8), is the number ten - the Sacred Decade of the Pythagorean tradition.
Number 32 (Thirty two)It was considered in the Pythagorean tradition a symbol of justice, since, as A. Holguin wrote, “it can be consistently divided into equal parts, without giving any preference.” The sacred number of Kabbalah, which the Jewish tradition endowed with special wisdom and with which the idea of 32 paths to God was associated.
The Kabbalistic tradition calls these Paths the thirty-two teeth of the Great Face or the thirty-two nerves coming from the Divine Brain. Manly Hall notes that they are "analogous to the 32 degrees of Freemasonry, which raise the candidate to the position of Prince Royal Secret." The name of God in the original Hebrew Scripture appears 32 times in the first chapter of Genesis.Kabbalists believed that “ten (numbers) plus twenty-two (letters) give the occult number 32, which means 32 paths to knowledge of the Mysteries of Creation, carefully hidden from the uninitiated.
Manly Hall states that "in the mystical analysis of the human body, according to the rabbis, 32 dorsal vertebrae lead upward to the skull - the Temple of Wisdom."
The mystical root of the number 32, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its components (3 + 2), is the number five - a symbol of the Divine individuality and the Perfect man.
Number 33 (Thirty three)The sacred number of many spiritual traditions, including Russian (thirty-three heroes", "thirty years and three years"). A. Holguin writes:
"Some researchers find a connection between 33 letters of the alphabet and 33 vertebrae in the human spine. And even the number of cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5) and coccygeal (4) is not considered a simple series of numbers. With one On the one hand, they correspond to certain letters of the alphabet, on the other - 7 main planets, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 5 primary elements in the YANG state, 5 primary elements in the YIN state and 4 elements - Fire, Air, Water, Earth.In many traditions, including Christian, it is considered a symbol of sacred age, upon reaching which a properly developing person fully reveals all his spiritual powers and abilities. Age of Jesus Christ.
The mystical root of the number 33, which is arrived at as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its components (3+3), is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.Number 40 (Forty)
It was considered the number of absolute completeness, completeness. St. Augustine believed that the number 40 expresses man's journey to truth and God. Christ's fast in the desert lasted 40 days. A. Olgin points out that “for the normal internal development of a child, it is necessary to wear it for 7x40 = 280 days - ten (“full number”) lunar months and that the word “quarantine” literally means “forty-day period.” Number researcher A. Zinoviev wrote :
""Forty" is also a unit of counting. "Forty forty" is a very large number and at the same time a systematized set. "Forty frosts after the feast of the forty martyrs." Fortieth. Sorokoust. Moses spent forty years in the desert. "Forty" is a collection all, universality, cathedral. Therefore, we denote:
All=40, Universe=40, Council=40, Christ=40." The mystical root of the number 40 is the sacred Tetractys of the Pythagoreans.
Number 49 (Forty nine)It was considered a sacred number in the Gnostic tradition because it repeats another sacred number, seven, seven times. It acted as a symbol of the number of Divine fires - the main evolutionary forces of the universe. Agni Yoga, continuing this tradition, speaks of these fires as hidden invisible psychoenergetic centers of a person, the disclosure and fiery transmutation of which leads to Initiation.
The mystical root of the number 49 is four - the sacred Tetractys of the Pythagoreans.
Number 50 (Fifty)It was considered sacred both in Islam and in European mysticism (Alchemy, Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism), where it was associated with the idea of liberation from slavery and complete freedom. The property of freedom was given by the combination of the number 5 and the number 10, as a result of the multiplication of which the amount of freedom was multiplied tenfold, thereby turning into a new quality. It was common in ancient Greek mythology (the fifty Danaids, the fifty Argonauts, the fifty sons of Priam and Egypt), which prompted
H. E. Kerlot consider it “a symbol of that powerful erotic and human quality that is so typical of Hellenic myths.”
The mystical root of the number fifty is the number five - a symbol of the Perfect Man and the Supreme Freedom.
Number 60 (Sixty)A researcher of the symbolism of numbers A. Holguin writes: “Like 3, 7, 12, the number 60 has been considered sacred since ancient times. Along with the decimal system, the Chaldean magicians, who knew how to perform complex astronomical calculations, used the sexagesimal system. Fragments of this knowledge have reached us: the circle is divided at 60 degrees, each degree has 60 minutes of 60 seconds each, an hour lasts 60 minutes, etc.” Many of those who studied numbers (Blavatsky, Guenon, Hall) pointed to the internal connection that exists between the number 60 and the circle. The mystical root of the number 60 is six - a symbol of Divine balance.
Number 64 (Sixty four)
It was considered a sacred number in ancient Chinese symbolism. The Book of Changes speaks of 64 hexagrams, the meaning of which must be unraveled. In addition to this book, the sacredness of this number is well illustrated by the game of chess, since the chessboard, as you know, is divided into 64 squares. The meaning of the figures and their movement is deeply symbolic. Manly Hall gives the following description of the esoteric meaning of the game of chess, accepted in both the Indian and Persian-Zoroastrian traditions:
"The white king is Ormuzd, the black king is Ahriman, and in the vastness of space an endless war is played out between Light and Darkness through all the centuries. From the philosophical side, the king represents the spirit, the queen represents the mind, bishops (elephants) - emotions, knights (horses) - vitality and castles (rooks) are the physical body. The pawns and pieces on the king's side are positive, and on the queen's side the pawns (the eight parts of the soul) are sensory impulses and instruments of perception. The white king and his retinue symbolize the Self and its means. The black king and his retinue symbolize not the Self, but the false Ego and his legion. The game of chess thus represents the eternal struggle of the parts of human complexity against its own shadow. The nature of each chess player is revealed in the way he moves the pieces, and geometry is the key. his interpretations. For example, the rook (head) moves along the squares, and the bishops (emotions) move diagonally: the king, being a spirit, cannot be captured, but loses the game, being surrounded in such a way that it cannot escape capture."
The mystical root of the number 64 is one - the source of all numbers and the symbol of primal unity.
Number 66 (Sixty six)This number is especially revered in Islam, where it is seen as one of the encrypted titles (names) of Allah.
Its mystical root is the number three - a symbol of Divine Self-Consciousness and Reason, the number of balance of the world.
Number 72 (Seventy two)It was considered a sacred number in Judaism. In the legend about the Tabernacle (Temple), the ancient Jews mention 72 almond buds with which they decorated the candlestick used in the ritual. It is a combination of 12 and 6 (that is, half of 12) and represents realized harmony.
The mystical root of the number 72 is the legendary nine.
Number 77 (Seventy seven)It was considered sacred in the Rosicrucian, and in general in the Western occult tradition, since it denoted the total number of human energy centers. Islam considered this number as a sevenfold repetition of the number of Allah - II.
The mystical root of this number is five, or the Pythagorean pentad,
- symbol of the Perfect Man.
Number 91 (Ninety-one)Sacred number of the Egyptian and Kabbalistic tradition, representing the numerical value of the sacred word Amen. The mystical root of this number is one.
Number 108 (One hundred and eight)Considered sacred in Buddhism, where the number of beads in meditation beads and the number of major gods in the pantheon are expressed by this figure. The Western occult tradition associated it with a sacred meaning, primarily because it contained a ninefold (that is, complete and perfect in itself) repetition of the number 12. The number of names of God Vishnu.
A rosary containing 108 beads is called uttama, that is, the best. It is important to note that the circle of rosary, located on the thread, ends with one large bead (109, if the bead is numbered 108), called Meru and symbolizing the highest divine principle. It also denoted the number of Samhita, that is, texts included in the highest science of spirit - Tantra.
The mystical root of this number is the sacred nine - the last single-digit number in the natural series.
Number 243 (Two hundred and forty three)It was considered a sacred number in the Gnostic and Kabbalistic traditions. The number of the Heavenly Man, Adam Kadmon, which denotes the various parts of his figure, relating to the various degrees and levels of the cosmic hierarchy. Its mystical root is nine.
Number 360 (Three hundred and sixty)
The sacred number of many traditions of the East and West, symbolizing the circle and the Zodiac divided into 360 degrees, the Sacred age of Enoch (360 years), indicated in the Samaritan "Bible".
The mystical root of this number is nine, which is why Guenon rightly pointed out that the circle, like a circle, is symbolized by the number nine, and the center is designated by one.Number 365 (Three hundred sixty five)
Sacred number of the Egyptian, Gnostic and Kabbalistic traditions. Symbol of a solar year of 365 days. Abraxas of Egyptian symbology, personifying the Sun, “Lord of the Sky.” In the Gnostic cosmogony, the number of dwellings of the Highest Unknown - Abraxas, over which he dominated, was 365.
The number of the solar year of 365 days is the numerical value of the word Neilos (Nile). This number and the Bull with the sickle Moon and the cross of Tau between its horns, and the Earth under its astronomical symbol (@) are the most phallic symbols of later antiquity. But since Osiris was identified with the Nile, he was correlated with the Sun and a year of 365 days, and Isis was considered the Moon, Mother Earth and the bed of this river. Such high symbolism allows us to apply the Pythagorean key to deciphering this number. Blavatsky states that the number 365 should be read as:
Earth (3) - revitalized (6) - by the Spirit of Life (5). It should not be forgotten that according to tradition, Enoch lived 365 years and, according to the rabbis, discovered the annual period of 365 days.
However, the Hermetic tradition claims that it was Hermes Trismegistus who carried out a reform in the calculation of time, thanks to which the calendar year began to contain not 360, but 365 days, which made it possible to streamline many processes of life on the planet.
The mystical root of this number is the Pythagorean pentad.
Number 432 (Four hundred thirty two)A sacred number in both the East and the West. It is an inverted Tetractys of the Pythagoreans, taken without the unit (4+3+2). Blavatsky reveals its deep meaning well:
"The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 are successive emanations from the Mother (Space) as she forms, descending down, her robe, spreading it along the seven steps of Creation. The wave returns to itself when one end connects with the other in infinity, and the numbers 4, 3, 2 are manifested, since this is the only side of the veil that we can perceive, but the first number is stuck in its inaccessible solitude.
...The Father, who is Infinite Time, begets the Mother, who is infinite Space, in Eternity; and the Mother begets the Father in the Manvantaras, which are parts of durations, on that Day when the world becomes one ocean. Then the Mother becomes the Nora (Waters - Great Deep) for the Naga (Supreme Spirit) to rest - or move - on her when, as it is said; 1,2,3,4 descend and abide in the invisible world, while 4, 3, 2 become limits in the visible world to deal with the manifestations of the Father (Time).
This applies to the Mahayugas, which in numbers become 432, and with the addition of zeros, 432,000."
It may also be added that the number 432,000 was considered to be the duration of the existence of the Chaldean divine dynasties.
The mystical root of this number is again nine.
Number 515 (Five hundred fifteen)It was considered sacred in the Templar tradition. Internally connected with the famous “Number of the Beast” in the Apocalypse - 666 and raised on Dante’s shield in his “Divine Comedy”. The researcher of Dantean symbolism Benini wrote the following about this:
"Dante then conceived the idea of arranging the intervals between the prophecies and other prominent passages of the poem in such a way that they would respond to each other through a certain number of verses, chosen, naturally, from among the symbolic numbers. The result was a system of consonances and rhythmic periods, replaced by another, but much more more complex and secret than the previous one, as befits the language of revelation spoken by beings who foresee the future. This is how the famous 515 and 666 appear, with which the trilogy is full: 666 verses separate the prophecy of Chiacco from the prophecy of Virgil, 515 - the prophecy of Farinata from Chiacco again; appears 666, between the prophecy of Brunetto Latini from Farinata, and again 515 between the prophecy of Nicholas III from Messire Brunetto."Guenon also, as always, speaks at length on this matter:
“These numbers, which so regularly, as we see, alternate, oppose each other in the symbolism adopted by Dante: indeed, it is known that in the Apocalypse 666 is the “number of the beast” and that an infinite number of calculations were made, often fantastic, to find the name Antichrist, the numerical value of which it must be, “for it is a human number,” on the other hand, 515 was specifically announced in Beatrice’s prediction with a meaning directly opposite to the first: “Five hundred and fifteen, the messenger of God...” It was believed that this is 515 the same the very thing that the mysterious Veltro, the enemy of the she-wolf, which thus turns out to be identical with the apocalyptic beast, even assumed that both symbols denote Henry of Luxembourg. We are not going to discuss the meaning of the word Veltro here, but we do not think that it should be seen in. there is a hint of a certain character; For us, we are talking here simply about one aspect of Dante’s general concept of the Empire (the Emperor, as Dante conceived him, is completely similar to Shakravarti or the world monarch of the Hindus, whose essential function is the reign of the world of sharvab- hamika, that is, to spread peace throughout the whole earth; one can also compare this theory of the Empire and the theory of the caliphate of the mueddins). Benini, noting that the number 515 is written in Latin letters as DXV, interprets these letters as the initials denoting Dante, Veltro di Cristo. But this interpretation is very strained, and nothing suggests that Dante wanted to identify himself with this “messenger of God.” In fact, it is enough to swap the letters in order to get DVX, that is, the word Dux (chief, duke), which is understandable without explanation; let us also add that the sum of the numbers 515 gives II.... This Dux could well have been Henry of Luxembourg, if you like, but first of all he was a completely different head, who could be chosen by the same organizations to realize a certain goal that they captured in social order and which Scottish Freemasonry still designates as the "kingdom of the Holy Empire"In addition to the sacred imperial symbol, the number 515 was also a number expressing the spiritual plane of existence in Templar cosmogony. The mystical root of the number is the number II.
Number 666 (Six hundred sixty six)This famous apocalyptic "Number of the Beast" will be discussed separately later. The mystical root of the number 666 is nine.
Number 777 (seven hundred seventy seven)
Considered sacred in many esoteric and mystical traditions of the East and West. Its hidden meaning was not revealed to the uninitiated and the curious. To the question of one of the Theosophists about the essence of this number, the Great Teacher, the Mahatma of the East replied: “Try to solve the problem of 777 incarnations... Although I am forced to refuse you information... nevertheless, if you solve the problem yourself, it will be my duty to confirm this.” . The sacredness of this number lies in the fact that it connects the two main numbers of the universe - three and seven, since the threefold repetition of seven has a deep occult meaning. It relates both to the mystery of Cosmic Cycles in the aspect of Creation, and to the mystery of human evolution. This is manifested in the fact that a person has 7 main chakras located in the spinal column, 21 minor chakras and 28 small energy centers that light up automatically during transmutation. In sum, they are expressed by the number 77. However, since a person has a total number of bodies equal to the number 7, the number of Creation arises again
777.
The mystical root of this number is the symbol of the Divine Mind - the number three.
Number 888 (Eight hundred eighty eight)The sacred number of Christian esotericism, considered the number of the Messiah. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine contains a hint to explain the meaning of this number:
“The Mystery of Agathodemon, whose legend states, “I am Khnum, the Sun of the World, 700,” can alone solve the Mystery of Jesus, the number of whose name is “888.” This is not the key of St. Peter or the dogma of the church, but Narfex - the Rod of the Candidate for Initiation - which must be wrested from the clutches of the long-silent Sphinx of past centuries."
The mystical root of this number is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.
Number 999 (nine hundred ninety nine)The sacred number of the Rosicrucian tradition, symbolizing the Supreme Divine Love, Amor. It represents the inverted “Number of the Beast” - 666. The mystical root of the number is nine.
Number 1000 (One thousand)It is considered a sacred number both in the East, where it symbolizes the sacred spiritual-energetic center of the human body - the thousand-petalled lotus (sahasrara), and in the West, where it was seen as “absolute perfection”, the “cube of ten”, contact with which leads to the “improvement of all kinds of numbers" and multiplication of harmony. The mystical root of this number is one.
Number 144000 (One hundred forty-four thousand)
A sacred number in Christian symbolism and, above all, in the “Revelation of John the Theologian,” where it means the number of future saints and righteous people who are destined to be saved and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Formed by multiplying 12 by 12, which symbolizes a certain number of tribes destined for Eternal Life. The mystical root of this number is nine.
Numerologists pay more attention to simple numbers than complex ones. But the number 60 is of interest to specialists, because its sacred meaning makes us think about the connection of the number with the universe.
The number 60 has a sacred meaning
The meaning of the number in numerology
Six in numerology means divine balance, balance of the material and spiritual world. Zero stands for a closed circle, endless movement. It simultaneously signifies the beginning and the end, life and death. This figure has no boundaries, therefore it is associated with freedom.
If a zero comes before another number, it reduces the influence of that number. If a zero is located after a number, it doubles its impact and complements it with its own. The strong energy of the number 60 is associated with this.
The influence of the number 60 on a person

Meaning in culture and religion
In Ancient Egypt, 60 symbolized longevity. In China, the value of 60 is considered as a cycle: 12 Earthly Branches and 10 Heavenly Stems alternate so that all combinations end in the sixtieth year. This is called the Chinese cycle. There are about six such cycles in a tropical year. In Rome, the number six symbolized love and fertility.
In Christianity, the number 60 has a special meaning. On the sixth day a man appeared. Zero is a symbol of harmony, the cyclical nature of life. The origin and end of life at a single point.
Chaldean magicians used the sexagesimal system for complex mathematical calculations. Their knowledge is also used in the modern world. From the geometry course we know that a circle can be divided into equal sectors of 60°. Each degree contains 60 minutes, and a minute contains 60 seconds. According to this theory, the circle was recognized as a symbol of the cyclical nature of the universe. And the number 60 is associated with the cycles of the universe.

Since ancient times, people, unable to comprehend any phenomenon with their minds, tried to achieve spiritual understanding, which in some way served as the beginning for almost all religions. And at the same time, each of them had its own “sacred numbers” - some of them promised happiness, some misfortunes, favored undertakings or rituals, with the help of others the wise tried to predict the fate of both individual people and the whole world. Even earlier, people endowed numbers with magical properties.
The main esoteric work is still considered to be the “Book of Creation,” which belongs to the teachings of Kabbalah. According to him, our entire world was created from numbers and sounds, therefore, we can only try to understand the world by these means. The great Pythagoras also held this point of view, although his beliefs in numbers were more scientific.
And in our time, people’s interest in numbers and their interpretation by religions, endowment with magical properties, etc. very large. There are many works devoted to research into the influence of numbers on people’s lives: the book of the Soviet scientist Sergei Vronsky “Numerology”, the publication “Kabbalah of Numbers” by Absalom Podvodny and Pavel Globa - “Arithmetic of Fate” and “The Meanings of Numbers”.
By the way, people owe their interest in numbers not only to real scientists: remember the popular sci-fi series “Lost.” In it, the heroes find themselves on a mysterious island, where inexplicable things happen, and the same numbers are constantly encountered, which at one time or another participated in the lives of these people. And the sequence of numbers, according to the legend of the series, was the key to solving the Valenzetti equation, with which you can accurately determine the date of the end of the world. Until now, fans of the TV epic are building theories, deducing patterns, finding “Easter eggs” from these numbers in the episodes - in a word, people are delighted.
This is all for a reason. We are trying to link our lives with some kind of pattern in order to somehow reduce the uncertainty of our own future, find like-minded people - in general, try to explain and arrange our own existence. Numbers are wonderful helpers in this.
The time has come to turn to mythology and scientific works - what numbers and why do certain people recognize as “sacred”. Numbers from the top ten are considered to characterize human qualities, so we will not dwell on them in detail. Let's start in order.
Number "0"
All the mystical qualities attached to this number are associated with its mathematical characteristics. Let's remember the school course: 0 divides all known numbers into 2 large groups: positive and negative; any number multiplied by 0 will result in 0; dividing by 0 is impossible (otherwise a paradox arises: all numbers are equal to each other and at the same time equal to 0).
Translated from Latin, “nullus” (where our “zero” comes from) means “no”. All other numbers count from zero, therefore in numerology 0 is represented as a symbol of hidden energy, of all human abilities. The number contains enormous power - again mathematics: if a zero is added to a number on the right, it increases by an order of magnitude, which is not a small thing, and division or multiplication by 0 destroys the number. Zero is called the “incomprehensible nothingness” from which the Universe begins, zero is the Mystery of Mysteries. In some interpretations, 0 is death as a life transformation.
Number "1"
In mathematics, one is the first element of a number series. One is credited with magical properties due to the fact that, mathematically, being an odd number, it is capable of turning any other odd number into an even number, and, conversely, from an even number into an odd number.
Esotericism understands 1 as a symbol of the whole, it is a single point of the beginnings of the world. For example, according to the theory of evolution, all complex living organisms on earth originated from the simplest, which consisted of just one cell (amoeba). At the same time, a unit cannot exist alone - from mathematics: multiplied by itself, 1 does not give anything new. This number is understood as a symbol of human will, an image of a straightened person striving for knowledge. The unit represents the “Center of the World” - it lies at the basis of the Universe, representing its unity, saturated with power for creation, revered as a blessing.
Number "7"
So to speak - the most magical number of all. The Bible says that our world was created in 7 days. Although long before this, the magical properties of this number were mentioned - it is known that in one of the most ancient temples of Egypt, 7 candles burned in front of the altar; Orientalists constantly find references to the seven in manuscripts. In addition, in our usual week there are 7 days, there are only 7 notes, the same number of colors of the light spectrum, only 7 smells are offered by stereochemical chemistry (the rest are a mixture of them), Christianity believes 7 deadly sins. And all this, not to mention the numerous mentions of numbers in Russian proverbs and sayings (seven do not wait for one; seven troubles - one answer; seven Fridays in a week; for a mad dog, seven miles is not a hook; measure 7 times, cut once, etc.) etc.), “catches up” a certain mysticism.
It was believed that the number “7” symbolizes order and cyclical development. Including the numbers 3 (symbol of the human soul) and 4 (symbol of the world), seven includes the entire mystical nature of existence.
Number "11"
As you know, there were only 10 commandments. 11 means rising above the rules, going beyond the established framework, which can lead to both spiritual renewal and complete destruction. In esotericism, “eleven” is a number that can open the way to other spheres of existence. By the way, there is also the fact that an 11-year cycle of solar activity was discovered.
Number "12"
A dozen is considered an ideal, super-perfect number - associated with the circle of life in the Universe. 12 symbolizes the completeness of the Divine circle, the rotation and repeatability of everything. In addition to being repeatedly mentioned in ancient myths, the number is often found in our everyday life: 12 signs of the Zodiac, a day consists of 12 hours of day and night, and much more - you can find it yourself.
Number "13"
The “devil’s” dozen is considered a dangerous number, as it violates the harmony of such a perfect number as 12, so in many countries they try to mention it as little as possible (for example, buildings do not have a 13th floor, they specially invite one more guest to the celebration to avoid mentioning 13 -ti). From the Bible: 13 people were present at the Last Supper; the number is also an attribute of Freemasonry - in 1783, when the US Constitution was adopted, the “devil’s dozen” was reflected in the symbolism of the new state: 13 arrows in the eagle’s paw symbolized the 13 annexed states, Solomon’s seal also contains 13 stars. The number plays an important role in the beliefs of occultists due to the fact that 13 is considered the number of death, as it violates the harmony of 12.
However, in the teachings of Kabbalah and the beliefs of the Mayan Indians, 13, on the contrary, is a lucky number. Also, at one time there was Club 13, which united all witches, sorcerers, occultists, etc., who were engaged in bringing scientific and occult knowledge into general knowledge of human existence.
Number "23"
23, according to numerologists, also plays an important role - it is usually understood as a certain higher intelligence and comprehensive wisdom. The number often accompanies certain mystical and extraordinary events. The number, if not directly, then indirectly, is sought in dates and other digital signs. For example, 23 is associated with the number 5 (2+3) and, along with the main one, is found in many signs of the Freemasons and Illuminati.
The entire feature film “23” is dedicated to the mysterious manifestation of this number. It is also interesting that the Japanese car brand “Nisan” in translation means 23, because in Japanese, “ni” is two, “san” is three, and on the mobile screen in T9 text input mode, when you press keys 2 and 3, the word “hell” will appear. As a scientific confirmation of the meaning of the number, the human gene set is determined by 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Number "33"
A sacred number for many cultures and religions. Russian is no exception: remember the 33 heroes from Pushkin’s fairy tale? And the fact that Ilya Muromets could not walk for 30 years and 3 years? It is also noteworthy that the Russian alphabet has 33 letters; the human spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae. The Bible mentions that Jesus Christ was 33 years old when he was crucified.
Christian traditions say that it is at the age of 33 that all abilities in a person are fully revealed.
Number "40"
Another sacred number for Christians: Moses led his people through the desert for 40 years, 40, but Christ’s fast lasted for days. This familiar word “quarantine” literally means “40-day period”
Thus, 40 is the number of completeness, completeness and completeness.
Number "42"
The “Revelation of John the Theologian” said that the reign of the Antichrist on Earth would last exactly 42 months. In addition, in Douglas Adams’ book “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” a powerful computer, after 7.5 million years of analysis and search for an answer to “the most important question of life, the Universe and in general,” decided that it was 42 (the writer explained that he chose this the number is random). In addition, 42 km makes up the Marathon distance, and a dog also has 42 teeth. In Japanese, the word “death” is consonant with the number.
Number "50"
50 is a sacred number for Islam and European mysticism. Here he was associated with liberation, both physical and spiritual.
Number "55"
In radio communications, code 55 is a “handshake”
Number "60"
The number is familiar to everyone. The number acquired its special meaning thanks to the Chaldean magicians, who, according to legend, could perform complex mathematical calculations using the sexagesimal system of accounts. We still use the results of their work: from geometry, a circle can be divided into an equal number of sectors of 60 degrees, and each degree in turn contains 60 minutes, each of which includes 60 seconds. Thus, with the help of the number 60, the connection with the circle, the repeating cycle of the Universe, is expressed.
Number "64"
In India, it was believed that a woman should master 64 arts, among which, in addition to the usual singing, playing musical instruments and drawing, there are such as putting a mark on the forehead, arranging grains of rice and flowers in a row, testing silver and jewelry, organizing fights rams, roosters, quails and much more. Chess lovers: the game board contains 64 squares. In ancient manuscripts, the number 64 is mentioned as a sign of unity and the source of all other numbers.
Number "66"
One of the most revered numbers in Islam, 66 is presented as one of the titles of Allah.
Number "73"
In amateur radio communications, code 73 replaces the phrase "best wishes".
Number "77"
The number is considered sacred in old occult beliefs - their adherents believe that 77 is the number of human energy centers.
Number "88"
The number is notable for its many meanings: in the code of radio operators, the combination 88 means “love, kiss”; Currently, 88 constellations are known to scientific astronomers. The Internet community often jokes that a pair of eights stands for LiveJournal, since the letter “Zh” is the eighth in order, counting “Yo” in the Russian alphabet. In addition, fans of the work of director Robert Zemeckis remember that in the Back to the Future trilogy, it was necessary to accelerate the car to 88 miles per hour to move it through time.
Number "91"
91 is revered in Egyptian and Kabbalah traditions as it is the numerical representation of the word "amen". For fans of Formula 1 racing, the famous driver Michael Schumacher won exactly 91 races.
Number "100"
It has no special, sacred meaning, but is very often used in everyday life: 100 years make up a century, 100 kopecks make up a ruble, and besides, almost every day in colloquial speech we use the phrases “100 times more”, “100 times better” and so on.
Number "108"
One hundred and eight is considered sacred for several religions. In Buddhism, the collection of Buddha's sayings consists of 108 volumes, so the rosary of Buddhist monks consists of 108 beads. Buddhists believe that a person is subject to 108 passions, perceiving the world with five senses and consciousness (5 + 1), while each sensation can be pleasant, unpleasant or neutral (3), this can lead both to bliss, and vice versa, to move away from there are (2) possible outcomes. A person constantly receives such experience - in the past, present and future - and again 3. Therefore, we get (5+1)*3*2*3=108).
In Hinduism, 108 also appears as a special number: Shiva and Vishnu have 108 names each, and the same number of beads in the rosary used to repeat mantras. In China, some followers of the Zhen Ju school claim that there are only 108 important points on the human body for acupuncture or moxibustion.
In the Polish city of Lichen there is also a chapel of the blessed 108 martyrs - clergy who died during the Second World War and beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1999. For the history of our country, the number is also very memorable and an object of pride - the flight of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin lasted 108 minutes.
Number " "
A highly revered number for many in both Eastern and Western traditions. - symbol of the circle and the Zodiac.
Number "365"
Another sacred number for Eastern religions. 365 is the symbol of the year. Also, according to the Book of Genesis, Enoch, the most pious descendant of Adam and the ancestor of Noah, lived 365 years, after which “he was no more, because God took him.” About the rest of Adam's descendants they said - “he died.” Also, in Judaism there are 365 prohibitory commandments.
Number "666"
One of the most famous numbers on the planet is the Number of the Beast. The Bible speaks of the coming of Satan, who brands his servants with the sign “666.”
Number "888"
The complete opposite of the Number of the Beast: 888 in Christian esotericism is considered the number of the Messiah. In the work of individual researchers, 888 is called the number of the name of Christ.
Number "999"
Another “opposing” number 666 - 999 embodies the Highest Divine love.
Number "1000"
In many Eastern religions, the number is revered as the embodiment of the sacred spiritual and energetic center of man. In Western traditions, 1000, the “cube of ten,” is an absolutely perfect number that multiplies harmony.
Number "144000"
In Christianity, the number is found in the “Revelation of John the Theologian,” where it is written that exactly so many future saints and righteous people will be saved from the Last Judgment and will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, 144,000 symbolizes eternal life.
We will stop here. There are a lot of sacred numbers known from one religion or another, and new ones appear along with the discovery of old books and manuscripts. And yet in life you should not completely rely on the magical intervention of numbers, thinking that everything will work out on its own, because... Order is at the core of the universe. You yourself can make your life the way you want, and with the help of numbers you can try to attract luck, try to predict future events, make a plan and much more - everything is in your hands.
Good luck to you in all your endeavors!
