(Coincidence (2) continued)
So, I stood before that school, an elementary school. Impressed by the coincidence of this playful lesson (How many hours are in a day? Certainly twice as much as the clock suggests?) I walked on and turned around the corner.
I passed by the entrance and there I saw a portion of the gospel of Mark (the part that is bold, here I give the full verse)
Mar 10:14 - But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
So, when I thought about this, I started to wonder if there is another coincidence present in this message. When there is talk of children, there is talk of those that need to go to a school. But the school that Jesus talks about is not of this Earth. Indeed, the children that Jesus talks about are not of this Earth, and neither is Jesus. So, everything not of this Earth should come together, don't prevent it! And it hit me how the numbers associated to this verse reflect this message. Let them come together!
10:14 becomes 1014 = - 1 x 3 x 13 x 13 x (1-3).*
How are the Heavens to come to Earth, if Earth not first goes to the Heavens?
Schools everywhere teach the way of the Earth and the Earth breathes its way.
There is but one school of the Heavens that is hidden, it is the hidden school of the Heart. Did you notice that 'Heart' and 'Earth' have the same letters?
Listen to the Heart.
Listen to the Heart until your ears become deaf,
and listen on until your deafened ears open again and hear!
Look with the Heart.
Look with the Heart until your eyes become blind,
and look on until your blinded eyes open again and see!
Where somebody hears and where somebody sees, there are the Heavens.
*: Compare with previous post, where the number
-1 x 3 x 13 x (1-3)
came up.

Coincidence (2)
To walk around and observe, to take in what is presented to you, to enjoy playfulness, is part of relaxing. Sometimes, coincidences just make it more enjoyable, so awareness is something that causes coincidences to be observed. It does not mean that when you do not observe them, they are not there... Well, maybe they then aren't because you just did not observe them?
So, when you start seeing more coincidences it says something about your interaction with reality, which in turn is the interaction of reality with you. It says that if you pay more attention to reality, reality pays more attention to you. It increases the mutual awarenes until everything your senses communicate to you have become the coincidence that makes up the totality of you and your reality, who become one.
So, today I walked around and observed something I had never observed in a way that I became aware of it. I just took it in as if I walked there for the first time. I stood in front of a school building, observed the wall and at first did only recognize a colored wall. Looking better, I saw different sizes of balls sticking out of the wall, with diameters ranging from about 3 to 13 cm. Looking better still, I saw a round clock and the balls were positioned around the clock. I noticed that there was a slight asymmetry in the balls: more balls to the left as to the right of the clock. Then I noticed that the balls had different colors and that they matched the colors of the numbers of the clock. More precisely, the clock itself consisted of balls as well, each of them had a number (indicating the hours) but these balls were not solid; only their circumference was colored. That made it a bit harder to put it together. Then I noticed that for each number, the balls with the same color as that number were close to that number and were in the same amount as the number. So, there was one solid ball of a certain color near the ball with 1, there were two solid balls of a certain other color near the ball with 2, and so on. It was fun to check that indeed for every number of the clock, the corresponding amount of balls were positioned near that number. As I progressed towards the 12, I understood why there were more balls to the left of the clock, since obviously the numbers at that side of the clock were larger.
I asked myself:
1. How many balls are there in total (the solid ones and the ones with numbers)?
2. How many balls are positioned around the clock?
Instead of counting them again, risking a counting error, I quickly computed that number and at that point decided to put it here on the blog. You will see why. But I will explain the computation here in full detail.
The same computation is necessary when you want to compute the amount of numbers 1 in the triangular figure below:
1 1
1 11
1 111
1 1111
1 11111
1 111111
1 1111111
1 11111111
1 111111111
1 1111111111
1 11111111111
1 111111111111
The first 1 in each row corresponds to the ball with a number of the clock; it is drawn on a single ball. The other 1's in each row correspond to the amount of balls in the color of that number. I left out the colors and sizes...
Note that there are 12 lines and the last row has 13 1's. Suppose we call O the total number of 1's. Then the answer to question 1. is O and the answer to question 2. is O-12. (You agree, don't you?)
Let's compute O by adding zero's as follows:
1 100000000000
1 110000000000
1 111000000000
1 111100000000
1 111110000000
1 111111000000
1 111111100000
1 111111110000
1 111111111000
1 111111111100
1 111111111110
1 111111111111
We have constructed a rectangle so that it becomes easy to compute the number of 1's and 0's together as
12 (rows) x 13 (length) = 156 = 1 x 3 x 13 x (1+3).*
Let's call Z the number of 0's. We can relate Z to O by relating the triangle of 0's to the triangle of 1's as follows. There are just 11 rows of o's against 12 rows of 1's. The 1's are arranged in a triangle with rows of lengths ranging from 2 to 13, while the 0's are arranged in a triangle with rows of lengths ranging from 1 to 11. So, if we compare both triangles, the triangle of 0's has an extra row of length 1 and misses two rows of length 12 and 13. This means that
Z = O + 1 - 12 - 13.
We know that O+Z = 156 as noted before. We can compute O+Z in a different way by using the previous relationship:
O+Z = O+O+1-12-13 = 2O-24,
and so, since a number can only have a single value, we infer that
2O-24 = 156,
which means that we can compute O as follows:
O = (156+24)/2 = 180/2 = 90.
Remember, that O equals the total number of balls on the wall, the answer to question 1. To compute the number of (solid) colored balls, we can now subtract 12 from this number, arriving at a total of 90-12 = 78, the answer to question 2.
Note that 78 = 156 / 2 = - 1 x 3 x 13 x (1-3).**

1 x 3 x 13 x 103
came up.
Explanation.
Ghimmel combines and switches from Aleph to Beyt and from Beyt to Aleph. Ghimmel is the principle of action; it causes the movement of Beyt, the container of Aleph. The triangle Aleph-Beyt-Ghimmel can be examplified as follows.
The principle of quantity (corresponding Aleph) is expressed by different numbers (corresponding to Beyt) that are manipulated by computations (corresponding to Ghimmel).
Without computations, numbers would be static (just a sequence of different symbols) and could not be related, added or multiplied.
Without numbers, quantity could not be expressed.
Without quantity, neither number nor computation would exist.
Without Ghimmel, Beyt would be motionless.
Without Beyt, Aleph could not be expressed.
Without Aleph, neither Beyt nor Ghimmel would exist.
So, when you start seeing more coincidences it says something about your interaction with reality, which in turn is the interaction of reality with you. It says that if you pay more attention to reality, reality pays more attention to you. It increases the mutual awarenes until everything your senses communicate to you have become the coincidence that makes up the totality of you and your reality, who become one.

Coincidence
A coincidence is the occurrence of different things together, in a particular situation that highlights a previously unknown property. It may be dubbed as a highlight of being present.
For instance, if somebody would read this blogpost, it is a coincidence if you consider the odds that it would happen at all. These odds vanish to almost zero if you consider time to be important in this consideration. On the other hand, the odds increase to one if time is an illusion. Then reading this has a purpose, apart from any other considerations - it had to happen.
Numbers are a great tool to illustrate coincidence.
For instance, if somebody has become 39 years of age in the year 2008 (and will remain so until 2009). The coincidence is that
39 = 1*3*13 and
2008+2009 = 4017 = 1*3*13*103.
Adding more coincidence to this fact comes from noting the following:
- ghimmel (ג) is the third (3) letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
- ghimmel, the name, is written as גמל, i.e. ghimmel-mem-lammed, consisting of three letters. The first (1) is ghimmel; the second is mem (מ), the thirteenth (13) letter of the Hebrew Alphabet; the third letter is lammed (ל), which has value 30.
- 'remaining an age' can be understood as fulfilling the year this age has been reached. This is expressed by the 100 of 103.
Ghimmel, commonly known as representing a camel in Hebrew, is the capability of stirring or changing the physical substance (known as water) into a dynamic action. Doesn't a camel drink water, store it on his back, and walk through deserts with more stamina than any other animal? A camel transforms water into energy.
To become a living letter, one has to make this letter come alive within.
None of these considerations are meant to limit the notion of coincidence.
Many people have the same age all the time. Age, measured in years, is a crude measure of coincidence. But it shows already how many people are part of such a coincidence as sharing the same year, let alone the coincidence that they share everything as they are present...
