While these are just a few of the many examples of the number 9 found within the world's sacred writings and mythologies, they are sufficient to illustrate the idea that the number 9 has long been venerated, perhaps, as the most important of all sacred numbers.

This exploration will assume a straight serial code for the English alphabet. This simply means A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on through to Z=26. Using this code, we find this interesting alphanumeric calculation:

The reason that this is interesting with regard to our working hypothesis is that the number 27 is incorporated, invisibly, into the very structure of the alphabet. It is revealed by literally folding the alphabet in half (by some coincidence, HALF=27).

A good way to understand this is to imagine the letters of the alphabet written along a strand of ribbon. Then simply fold the ribbon in half, between the M and the N, and bring the two ends together. Now you see the letter A pairs up with Z. The letter B pairs up with Y, and so on. Here are the 13 combinations (with their combined alphanumeric values):

Remarkably, the alphanumeric sum of each pair of letters is 27. This number reduces to the single digit of 9 by what is called "cross addition." In other words, adding the two digits together: 2+7=9.

Now, using our English Alphabet Code, we discover something else that appears to underscore our hypothesis. Let us take the numbers 0 through 9 and convert them into the words ZERO through NINE and calculate the alphanumeric values of those words:

The sum of those alphanumeric values is 522, which reduces to 9 (5+2+2). This author has incorporated these word-numbers into a table (the "AlphaNumber Table"). A complete and detailed analysis of this table can be seen at:

One of the significant findings from this table is that these word-numbers (what the author calls "AlphaNumbers") can be separated into sets. Each set is defined by the number of letters in each AlphaNumber.
