After many months of continuous work I had amassed a huge file of data and the more I looked at it the more I leaned toward the idea that this was not all just the result of lucky tosses of the dice. It seemed like something else was going on here, something involving that very special form of "coincidence" that the famous Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, called "synchronicity". That seemed to make a lot of sense on an intuitive level but I was still left with a nagging question: How can the results of this work be explained?
As I continued to develop this work my research took me in many directions where I encountered several intriguing concepts, one of which was sacred geometry. And therein lay the answer to my question. At the very least it served as a springboard by which I was able to launch into an attempt at developing an explanation of how and why this phenomenon was occurring. Here, then, is what I have come up with at this point in the process:
Toward a Rational Explanation
When the universe began it started from nothing. Essentially the "zero point". As it evolved it began to take shape. Shape is form. Form is geometry.
GEOMETRY = 108 = 9
Geometry, by its very nature, incorporates what we call number.
Number is the language we use to describe and/or explain geometric form.
For example, the triangle is the first geometric form. That is to say, one point in space does not create a shape or form. Two points in space can be connected by a line. But that only creates a line and does not create a shape or form. Three points in space can be connected by a line and this does create a shape, the triangle, and the first geometric shape or form. Therefore, the number 3 describes the first geometric form.
Again, number is the language we use to describe and/or explain geometric form.
What is language? Language is a tool for communicating information.
Another type of language is spoken language.
"Spoken" implies "words". The words are tools for communicating information. In order to preserve our words (reflecting our thoughts and ideas), we use a written language. The written language is a reflection of our spoken language.
Alphabets are organized systems of letters (the symbols we use to form the words). The letters of the alphabet are what we use to write the words, in order to convey and preserve our thoughts and ideas.
We see, then, that numbers and alphabets perform essentially the same function. They are intimately connected. They are both communication devices. This connection is enhanced when we combine them by assigning the numbers to the letters of the alphabet. This is the basis of the ancient art of divination known as gematria. Some ancient language systems, such as Hebrew, virtually made no distinction between the letters of their alphabet and the numbers used for counting and other mathematical functions. In other words the same written symbol was used to portray both a number and a letter. Each letter of the alphabet was also a number and vice versa.
Clearly, then, we now see the intimate connection between number and letter.
