Number Rules the Universe
--The Pythagoreans
Pythagorus died acording to one legend in the flames of his own school fired by political and religious bigots who stirred up the masses to protest against the enlightenment which Pythagoras sought to bring them. Sic transit gloria mundi.

- 1 is reason, for reason is unchangeable; the very essence of unchangeableness is expressed by this number
- 2 is unlimited and indeterminate -- opinion as contrasted with reason
- 4 is the essence of justice, for four is the product of equals
- 5 is marriage, the first masculine with the first feminine
- 6 is a number perfect in itself and not because God created all things in 6 days; rather the inverse is true, that God created all things in six days because this number is perfect and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the 6 days did not exist

Numerology Tidbits from Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
You can be fascinated even by a tree frog if you watch it long enough
- 3 x 6
- Knight of St. John's Eve was 1308 ... 1344
- sum of digits of 36 is 9
- 6 things intact with seals
- 6 knights appearing 6 times in 6 places
- 6 x 20 = 120 years
- 6 places or 6 tasks to be followed
- 6 documents scattered in 6 places
- 5 x 120 = 600
- 1344 + 600 = 1944

- 1944 is terminal date of plan, but with a view to another target, the year 2000
- 6 keepers per seal, each serving 120 years
- Templers were persecuted as heretics; they came to identify with the anti-Christ
- Templers believed that the second milennium would see the advent of their Jerusalem
- 666 is number of the beast
- the year 666 is the year of the beast
- the year 2000 is when the Templer's revenge will triumph
- 36 knights for each of the 6 places makes 216 whose digits add up to 9
- 6 centuries, so 6 x 216 = 1296 whose digits add up to 18 or 3 x 6 or 666
- 9 is the number of the Knights that founded the temple in Jerusalem
- sum of odd numbers from 1 to 7 is 16
