Numerical Connotations

What’s in a number? The Ancients believed numbers were universally connected. Scientifically The universe is described by fundamental constants and numbers. The number for the Universe is 42. What unlocks the key to the Universe? According to Nikola Tesla, 3, 6, and 9 unlock the secrets of the Universe. He believed these digits were sacred and could unlock the mysteries of existence itself.

Numbers found their way into the meanings of old texts and even the Bible. Everyone and everything have a number or numbers associated with their lives as can be discovered through Gematria and/or Numerology in contemporary times. There isn’t a single universally agreed-upon “most divine number,” as different cultures, religions, and belief systems ascribe varying degrees of significance to different numbers. However, some numbers, like 7, 108, and 18, are often associated with divinity or sacredness in various traditions. An intriguing aspect of the number 8 is its deep connection to karma—the universal law of cause and effect. In numerology, 8 is often seen as the number of karmic justices, where actions (good or bad) come back to you in equal measure.

Did you know that many believe the number of God is 7? In numerology, master numbers 11, 22, and 33 are considered powerful and spiritually significant, often associated with heightened intuition, vision, and the potential for great achievement or service. They have both positive and negative attributes. Triple Master numbers in numerology refer to completeness, perfection, totality. The Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is 777. Adversely, the Unholy Trinity that apes God is 666. In some Christian numerology, the number 888 is believed to represent Jesus or Christ the Redeemer. 555 is often interpreted as a message of spiritual awakening, transformation, or a call to action, suggesting that significant changes and positive outcomes are on the horizon. 444 symbolizes divine order, stability, God’s sovereignty, and angelic presence or guidance, encouraging trust in God and seeking spiritual guidance. 333 is believed to be connected to angelics and for some Ascended Masters and encourages you to set plans into action and let your personal strength be the guide; to trust yourself and put thought into your choices. 222 is often seen as a sign of balance, harmony, and the encouragement to trust your intuition and the universe, particularly in matters of relationships and new beginnings. 111 is often interpreted as a sign of new beginnings, a call to action, and a message of alignment with your higher self and spiritual purpose, encouraging you to trust the universe and your intuition.

Shamans and shamanic traditions often incorporate numbers and numerology, with specific numbers and patterns holding symbolic or spiritual significance, especially in certain cultures and traditions. In shamanism and Native American spirituality, the number 4 is considered sacred, representing the four directions, seasons, elements, and stages of spiritual evolution. Certain number sequences, like 111, are seen as messages from the spiritual realm, signifying alignment and the connection between the physical and spiritual realms The number 108 is considered sacred in Dharmic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

It must be remembered Numbers bring wonder, amazement and enlightenment. Those who study mathematics at the highest level are somehow compelled to confront the spiritual energies.
