CITY OF REVELATION John Michell 1972 Page109 "At the root of our traditional units of measurement is the ancient, mystical science of numbers, to which Plato makes an obscure reference towards the end of Epinomis, here quoted from Lamb's translation. The most important and first (study) is of numbers in themselves: not of those which are corporeal, but of the whole origin of the odd and the even and the greatness of their influence on the nature of reality. When he has learnt these things, there comes next what they call by the very ridiculous name of geometry, when it proves to be a manifest likening of numbers not like one another by nature in respect of the province of planes; and this will be clearly seen by him who is able to understand it to be a marvel, not of human but of divine origin. And then, after that, the numbers thrice increased and like to the solid nature, and those again which have been made unlike, he likens by another art, namely that which its adepts call stereometry.' The text is probably corrupt, the expressions are unfamiliar and it is hard to follow Plato's meaning. But the reference, both here and in another passage in Laws, is to some method of relating different classes of phenomena to one numerical system, by which the adept may come to understand the unifying principle in nature. Of this knowledge Plato declares that it is the greatest of all blessings both to him who possessed it and to his community, but if it can not be acquired, the best substitute is simple faith in God since, on the / Page 110 / word of an initiate, matters are far better arranged than we can possibly conceive. He continues, 'Every diagram and system of number and every combination of harmony and the agreement of the revolution of the stars must be made manifest as one in all to him who learns in the proper way, and will be made manifest if a man learns aright by keeping his eyes on unity; for it will be manifest to us as we reflect, that there is one bond naturally uniting all these things.' The number 666 in metrology The number which above all others acts as a bond between the various units of measurement is the perfect number of Chaldean mathematics, 666. For example, 666 feet = 150 cubits + 150 MY while 666 square feet = 90 square MY. Also 6660 square yards = 902 square MY and 66,600 square feet = 1502 square cubits. The Babylonians had a decimal system, but they also reckoned in units of 6, 60 and 600 and a curious survival of this system is found in the letters which the Romans used as numerals, for the sum of I, V, X, L, C and D is 666.
THE DEATH OF GODS IN ANCIENT EGYPT Jane B. Sellars 1992 Page 204 "The overwhelming awe that accompanies the realization, of the measurable orderliness of the universe strikes modern man as well. Admiral Weiland E. Byrd, alone In the Antarctic for five months of polar darkness, wrote these phrases of intense feeling: Here were the imponderable processes and forces of the cosmos, harmonious and soundless. Harmony, that was it! I could feel no doubt of oneness with the universe. The conviction came that the rhythm was too orderly, too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore there must be purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental offshoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night.10 Returning to the account of the story of Osiris, son of Cronos god of' Measurable Time, Plutarch takes, pains to remind the reader of the original Egyptian year consisting of 360 days. Phrases are used that prompt simple mental. calculations and an attention to numbers, for example, the 360-day year is described as being '12 months of 30 days each'. Then we are told that, Osiris leaves on a long journey, during which Seth, his evil brother, plots with 72 companions to slay Osiris: He also secretly obtained the measure of Osiris and made ready a chest in which to entrap him. The, interesting thing about this part of the-account is that nowhere in the original texts of the Egyptians are we told that Seth, has 72 companions. We have already been encouraged to equate Osiris with the concept of measured time; his father being Cronos. It is also an observable fact that Cronos-Saturn has the longest sidereal period of the known planets at that time, an orbit. of 30 years. Saturn is absent from a specific constellation for that length of time. A simple mathematical fact has been revealed to any that are even remotely sensitive to numbers: if you multiply 72 by 30, the years of Saturn's absence (and the mention of Osiris's absence prompts one to recall this other), the resulting product is 2,160: the number of years required, for one 30° shift, or a shift: through one complete sign of the zodiac. This number multplied by the / Page205 / 12 signs also gives 25,920. (And Plutarch has reminded us of 12) If you multiply the unusual number 72 by 360, a number that Plutarch mentions several times, the product will be 25,920, again the number of years symbolizing the ultimate rebirth. This 'Eternal Return' is the return of, say, Taurus to the position of marking the vernal equinox by 'riding in the solar bark with. Re' after having relinquished this honoured position to Aries, and subsequently to the to other zodiacal constellations. Such a return after 25,920 years is indeed a revisit to a Golden Age, golden not only because of a remarkable symmetry In the heavens, but golden because it existed before the Egyptians experienced heaven's changeability. But now to inform the reader of a fact he or she may already know. Hipparaus did: not really have the exact figures: he was a trifle off in his observations and calculations. In his published work, On the Displacement of the Solstitial and Equinoctial Signs, he gave figures of 45" to 46" a year, while the truer precessional lag along the ecliptic is about 50 seconds. The exact measurement for the lag, based on the correct annual lag of 50'274" is 1° in 71.6 years, or 360° in 25,776 years, only 144 years less than the figure of 25,920. With Hipparchus's incorrect figures a 'Great Year' takes from 28,173.9 to 28,800 years, incorrect by a difference of from 2,397.9 years to 3,024. Since Nicholas Copernicus (AD 1473-1543) has always been credited with giving the correct numbers (although Arabic astronomer Nasir al-Din Tusi,11 born AD 1201, is known to have fixed the Precession at 50°), we may correctly ask, and with justifiable astonishment 'Just whose information was Plutarch transmitting' AN IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT Of course, using our own notational system, all the important numbers have digits that reduce to that amazing number 9 a number that has always delighted budding mathematician. Page 206 Somewhere along the way, according to Robert Graves, 9 became the number of lunar wisdom.12 This number is found often in the mythologies of the world. the Viking god Odin hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree in order to acquire the secret of the runes, those magic symbols out of which writing and numbers grew. Only a terrible sacrifice would give away this secret, which conveyed upon its owner power and dominion over all, so Odin hung from his neck those long 9 days and nights over the 'bottomless abyss'. In the tree were 9 worlds, and another god was said to have been born of 9 mothers. Robert Graves, in his White Goddess, Is intrigued by the seemingly recurring quality of the number 72 in early myth and ritual. Graves tells his reader that 72 is always connected with the number 5, which reflects, among other things, the five Celtic dialects that he was investigating. Of course, 5 x 72= 360, 360 x 72= 25,920. Five is also the number of the planets known to the ancient world, that is, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus Mercury. Graves suggests a religious mystery bound up with two ancient Celtic 'Tree Alphabets' or cipher alphabets, which as genuine articles of Druidism were orally preserved and transmitted for centuries. He argues convincingly that the ancient poetry of Europe was ultimately based on what its composers believed to be magical principles, the rudiments of which formed a close religious secret for centuries. In time these were-garbled, discredited and forgotten. Among the many signs of the transmission of special numbers he points out that the aggregate number of letter strokes for the complete 22-letter Ogham alphabet that he is studying is 72 and that this number is the multiple of 9, 'the number of lunar wisdom'. . . . he then mentions something about 'the seventy day season during which Venus moves successively from. maximum eastern elongation 'to inferior conjunction and maximum western elongation'.13 Page 207 "...Feniusa Farsa, Graves equates this hero with Dionysus. Farsa has 72 assistants who helped him master the 72 languages created at the confusion of Babel, the tower of which is said to be built of 9 different materials We are also reminded of the miraculous translation into Greek of the Five Books of Moses that was done by 72 scholars working for 72 days, Although the symbol for the Septuagint is LXX, legend, according to the fictional letter of Aristeas, records 72. The translation was done for Ptolemy Philadelphus (c.250 BC), by Hellenistic Jews, possibly from Alexandra.14 Graves did not know why this number was necessary, but he points out that he understands Frazer's Golden Bough to be a book hinting that 'the secret involves the truth that the Christian dogma, and rituals, are the refinement of a great body of primitive beliefs, and that the only original element in Christianity- is the personality of Christ.15 Frances A. Yates, historian of Renaissance hermetisma tells, us the cabala had 72 angels through which the sephiroth (the powers of God) are believed to be approached, and further, she supplies the information that although the Cabala supplied a set of 48 conclusions purporting to confirm the Christian religion from the foundation of ancient wisdom, Pico Della Mirandola, a Renaissance magus, introduced instead 72, which were his 'own opinion' of the correct number. Yates writes, 'It is no accident there are seventy-two of Pico's Cabalist conclusions, for the conclusion shows that he knew something of the mystery of the Name of God with seventy-two letters.'16 In Hamlet's Mill de Santillana adds the facts that 432,000 is the number of syllables in the Rig-Veda, which when multiplied by the soss (60) gives 25,920" (The reader is forgiven for a bit of laughter at this point) The Bible has not escaped his pursuit. A prominent Assyriologist of the last century insisted that the total of the years recounted mounted in Genesis for the lifetimes of patriarchs from the Flood also contained the needed secret numbers. (He showed that in the 1,656 years recounted in the Bible there are 86,400 7 day weeks, and dividing this number yields / Page 208 / 43,200.) In Indian yogic schools it is held that all living beings exhale and inhale 21,600 times a day, multiply this by 2 and again we have the necessary 432 digits. Joseph Campbell discerns the secret in the date set for the coming of Patrick to Ireland. Myth-gives this date-as-the interesting number of AD.432.18 Whatever one may think-of some of these number coincidences, it becomes difficult to escape the suspicion that many signs (number and otherwise) - indicate that early man observed the results of the movement of Precession and that the - transmission of this information was considered of prime importance. With the awareness of the phenomenon, observers would certainly have tried for its measure, and such an endeavour would have constituted the construction-of a 'Unified Field Theory' for nothing less than Creation itself. Once determined, it would have been information worthy of secrecy and worthy of the passing on to future adepts. But one last word about mankind's romance with number coincidences.The antagonist in John Updike's novel, Roger's Version, is a computer hacker, who, convinced, that scientific evidence of God's existence is accumulating, endeavours to prove it by feeding -all the available scientific information. into a comuter. In his search for God 'breaking, through', he has become fascinated by certain numbers that have continually been cropping up. He explains them excitedly as 'the terms of Creation': "...after a while I noticed that all over the sheet there seemed to hit these twenty-fours Jumping out at me. Two four; two, four. Planck time, for instance, divided by the radiation constant yields a figure near eight times ten again to the negative twenty-fourth, and the permittivity of free space, or electric constant, into the Bohr radius ekla almost exactly six times ten to the negative twenty-fourth. On positive side, the electromagnetic line-structure constant times Hubble radius - that is, the size of the universe as we now perceive it gives us something quite close to ten to the twenty-fourth, and the strong-force constant times the charge on the proton produces two point four times ten to the negative eighteenth, for another I began to circle twenty-four wherever it appeared on the Printout here' - he held it up his piece of stripped and striped wallpaper, decorated / Page 209 /
with a number of scarlet circles - 'you can see it's more than random.'19 So much for any scorn directed to ancient man's fascination with number coincidences. That fascination is alive and well, Just a bit more incomprehensible"

Arthur Koestler, Thomas Mann, and Arthur Schopenhauer’s Essay “On Death”: The Psychology of a Very Brief Encounter* Look! For if you did, you’d see -Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrranus lines 173-177(trans. Ahl, 2008) The lives of Arthur Koestler (1905-1983) and Thomas Mann (1875-1955) intersected briefly in the summer of 1937 in Switzerland. Earlier that year Koestler had been released from a Spanish prison where he awaited a death sentence for his known communist party affiliation and his work as a journalist for the British anti-Fascist News Chronicle. It was during that “death row” episode (see Koestler’s first account in his Dialogue with Death, 1937; 1961) that he reflected on the mathematical perfection of Prime Numbers (see on this MacAdam 2009). He also expressed his admiration for the early novels of Thomas Mann, and how much spiritual and intellectual comfort they gave him while imprisoned. Even before returning to London, he wrote to Mann. The most detailed account of this appears in the second volume of Koestler’s autobiography, The Invisible Writing (1954; 1969):
During the first three weeks of solitary confinement, before I was allowed books from the prison library, my only intellectual nourishment had been the remembrance of books read in the past. In the course of these memory exercises, a certain passage from Buddenbrooks came back to me and gave me much spiritual comfort–so much so that at times when I felt particularly dejected, I would have recourse to that scene as it were a pain-soothing pill. The content of the passage, as I remembered it, was this. Consul Thomas Buddenbrook, though only in his late forties, knows that he is about to die. He was never given to any religious or metaphysical speculation, but now he falls under the spell of a book [Arthur Schopenhaurer’s essay On Death, and its Relation to the Indestructibility of our Essential Selves, which appears in Vol. 2 (a supplement to Book 4) of The World as Will and Representation] which for years has stood unread in his library, and in which he finds explained that death is nothing final, merely a transition to another, impersonal form of existence in the All-One…
Dear Sir: Your letter arrived on May [23rd]. On the afternoon of that day I was sitting in my garden in Kuessnacht. I had read Schopenhauer’s essay [originally published in 1844 in the second volume of The World as Will] in 1897 or 1898, while I was writing Buddenbrooks, and I had never read it again as I did not want to weaken its original strong impact on me. On that afternoon, however, I felt a sudden impulse to re-read the essay after nearly forty years. I went indoors to my library to fetch the volume. At that moment the postman rang and brought me your letter ... (Koestler, 1969: 452-453).[Yours, etc. Thomas Mann]
Koestler’s letter to Mann, however, does still exist, and it allows us to correct a few dates and to grasp the sense of elation that Koestler felt shortly after his last-minute reprieve from the prison firing squad in Seville. That letter is reproduced in Christian Buckard’s Arthur Koestler: Ein Extremes Leben (2004). Strictu sensu this is not a biography of Koestler, but Buckard devoted three pages (140-143) to the Koestler-Mann episode described above. Koestler’s letter to Mann is in Mann’s archive. Buckard reproduced most of it (Koestler wrote it on 15 May) except (apparently) the greeting and an explicit reference to “On Death” (141-142). Buckard reproduces Mann’s diary entry recording his reception of Koestler’s letter on 23 May 1937 (142). I am grateful to Prof. Michael Scammell of Columbia University for bringing Buckard’s volume to my attention. Koestler then goes on (in The Invisible Writing) to relate how his interview with Mann later that year (en route to an assignment to the Balkans for the News Chronicle) turned into a social disaster for which Koestler took a large share of the blame: “This was no doubt partly due to my paralysing timidity [there is an amusing reference in this recollection to the socially inept malapropisms of Frau Stöhr in The Magic Mountain] and gaucherie in the master’s presence; on the other hand Mann did nothing to put me at ease” (Koestler, 1969: 453-454). That allusion to Mann’s uneasiness regarding the media (even, in Koestler’s case, a German-speaking journalist) is hardly unique. In later years Mann was on several occasions impelled to write letters to the editors of journals (particularly the USA based Time magazine) to “explain” or “correct” certain statements he had made in the course of interviews. It may be instructive to note the parallel career of Mann’s cultural if not spiritual near-contemporary, German composer Walter Braunfels (1882-1950)–see a report on the revival of his 1920 opera Die Vögel (based on Aristophanes’ still relevant satiric comedy The Birds) in Tomassini (2009). What is worth noting here is Koestler’s ambivalent appraisal of Mann, someone he admired for the early novels (especially Buddenbrooks, noted above) and non-fiction but found fault with for his seemingly waffling attitude to German political developments before and after 1933, as well as his (Mann’s) later literary output during his prolonged political and cultural exile. This is nearly if not exactly the critique made of Koestler’s own oeuvre during his peregrinations (initially prompted by WW II) to the U.K., to Israel, to the U.S.A, to France, and eventually and permanently back to the UK (on that diaspora theme see Cesarani, 1998). Since Mann was still alive when this volume of Koestler’s autobiography was published [1954] it may be worth reproducing excerpts from his assessment of Mann’s influence on German (and European) literature of the 20th century. I do not know if Mann might have read this critique of his own career before his death in 1955, and none of the biographies of Mann which I’ve consulted offer any insight: Since that unhappy meeting, [i.e. between 1937- c.1953] I have re-read a substantial part of Thomas Mann’s early work. Much of it has lost its original impact on me, but it has retained its grandeur and subtlety, its poetic irony, its universal sweep and range. Most of his later work I find mannered to the point where it becomes unreadable. But Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain, the stories and essays (excluding the political essays), and indeed the major part of his work up to and including the last volume of Joseph [published in 1943; the fourth volume of a tetralogy] remain as a monument of the early twentieth century, and Germany’s most important single contribution to its [twentieth century?] culture. Thus personal disappointment did not diminish my admiration and gratitude for Mann’s work. It did seem to provide, however, an explanation for a certain aspect of Mann’s art which has always puzzled me: I mean the absence of human kindness. There has perhaps never been a great novelist so completely lacking the Dostoievskian touch of sympathy for the poor and humble. In Mann’s universe, charity is replaced by irony which is sometimes charitable, sometimes not; his attitude to his characters, even at its most sympathetic, has a mark of Olympian condescension … The only exception to this is Mann’s treatment of children and dogs; perhaps because here condescension, the gesture of bending down, is implicit in the situation. The title of his only story about dogs is, revealingly: Herr und Hund. which does not prevent it, however, from being a masterpiece (Koestler, 1954, republished 1969: 455-456).Koestler then moves on to criticism of Mann in political/ideological terms, an assessment not always noted by Mann biographers who didn’t live through the convoluted era of c. 1930-l945 or who do not see Koestler from the perspective of a committed communist who eventually lost faith and promoted leftist violence as the correct response to fascism (on this see Bance, 2002: 116). It is worth noting that Mann himself expressed such sentiments, although in a very muted way. In his diary entry for 2 March, 1954 Mann wrote that he hoped someone would assassinate U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy and end the anti-communist witch hunt (which included an FBI file on Mann after he visited East Germany on several occasions) begun by that demagogue in 1949 (Reed, 2002:15). Koestler’s summary of Mann’s literary influence concludes with these thoughts:The result [of Mann’s philosophy through his publications] is a humanism without the cement of affection for the individual human brick, a grandiose, but unsound edifice which was never proof against the nasty gales and currents of the times. This may explain a series of episodes in Mann’s public career which were exploited by his opponents and embarrassed his admirers–such as his support of Prussian imperialism in the first World War; his hesitant and belated break with the Nazis; his silent endorsement of the new despotism in Eastern Germany [after 1949], and his acceptance of the Goethe Prize [also in 1949] from a régime which banned and burned the books of his compatriots and fellow-authors … … They do not affect Mann’s greatness as an artist, but they have defeated his claim to the cultural leadership of the German nation. It is impossible to be angry with Picasso for believing that Stalin was the greatest benefactor of mankind, for one feels that his error is the result of a naïve and warmhearted passion. But it is not so easy to forgive the moral faux pas of the ironically dispassionate Olympian (Koestler, 1969: 456). There is a distinct psychological dimension to the brief encounter of Koestler and Mann. It may be due in part to the fact that Schopenhauer’s nearly two-century long reputation rests as much on his psychological insights as it does on his philosophical or spiritual convictions. Puzzling to me is Koestler’s lack of comment on Mann’s extraordinary novel Death in Venice (1912) and its haunting depiction of the acceptance of death as a consequence of obsessional desire. In the classical world the Greek concept of Tychê and the Roman concept of Fatum (loosely translated as “Luck” and “Destiny” respectively) were compared and contrasted (especially by the Stoics) to determine if possible which played a greater role in human affairs. Advertisement Privacy Settings In Koestler’s much later work, The Roots of Coincidence (1973), he again pays tribute to Schopenhauer through a long quotation from The World as Will. This includes Schopenhauer’s verbal image of “mapping” coincident events:
Coincidence is the simultaneous occurrence of causally unconnected events … If we visualize each causal chain progressing in time as a meridian on the globe, then we may represent simultaneous events by the parallel circles of latitude…” That both kinds of connection exist simultaneously, and the self-same event, although a link in two totally different chains, nevertheless falls into place, so that the fate of one individual invariably fits the fate of the other … this is something that surpasses our powers of comprehension, and can only be conceived as possible by virtue of the most wonderful pre-established harmony ... (Koestler, 1973: 107-108–italics mine).
Thus coincidence, for Schopenhauer, is the random “intersection” of persons and/or events on lines of longitude and latitude at a moment in time. With that as the context, and with an earlier reference to Schopenhauer’s influence on Freud and Jung, Koestler then summarizes his own thoughts on coincidence:
The classical theories of ESP proposed by Carington, Tyrrell, Hardy and others were variations on the same theme–a “psychic ether” or group-mind or collective unconscious, serving as a subterranean
pool which individual minds can tap, and through which they can communicate. The dominant concept is Unity in Diversity–all is One and One is all. It echoes through the writings of Christian mystics, and is the keynote in Buddhism and Taoism. It provides the parallels of latitude on Schopenhauer’s globe, and ties coincidence in the universal scheme of things. According to Jung, all divinatory practices, from looking at tea-leaves to the complicated oracular methods of the I-Ching, are based on the idea that random events are minor mysteries which can be read as pointers towards the one central mystery (Koestler, 1973: 108–on Carl Jung see the Nota Bene below). At that point, perhaps, Koestler has come full circle: he has combined the randomness of a coincident universe with the randomness of Prime Numbers–a mystery of unexplained perfection. Additional Notes: While this article was in press Michael Scammell’s definitive biography Koestler: The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth-Century Skeptic was published in December 2009 by Random House in the USA and by Faber & Faber in the UK. In it he not only refers to the Koestler-Mann interview in the summer of 1937 but translates most of the text of Koestler’s letter to Mann that Buckard (2004: 141-142) reproduced from among Mann’s archived correspondence. At the end of it Koestler summarized his reasons for writing to Mann at such a critical point in his (Koestler’s) career: Ich glaube, ich habe es Ihnen zu danken dass ich noch am Leben bin; zumindest, dass ich noch bei Verstand bin … Ich hätte es früher niemals für möglich gehalten, dass Kunst eine derartigen, drastischen Einfluss auf das Leben gewinnen kann (Buckard, 2004: 141). To put it baldly, I believe I have you to thank for the fact that I’m still alive, or, at least, that I still have my wits about me … I would never have thought it possible that art could exercise such a drastic influence on my life (Scammell, 2009: 142). As a coda I might add that Mann’s letter to Koestler may still exist. Many of Koestler’s typescript books and private papers were taken from his Paris apartment during raids by the anti-communist French police, the Deuxième Bureau, between the outbreak of WW II in September 1939 and the Nazi occupation of France the following spring. Koestler always believed that these losses were irretrievable. But in e-mail correspondence with Michael Scammell I learned that he saw some of this material in what had been the former KGB archives in Moscow during a visit there in 1994.The Nazis took to Berlin what they seized in Paris, and in turn the Soviets took the Nazi archives to Moscow after they occupied Berlin in the spring of 1945. Scammell was particularly eager to discover if the German original typescript of Darkness at Noon (translation by Daphne Hardy, published in 1941) was among Koestler’s effects, but found instead three original German typescripts of The Gladiators (translation by Edith Simon, published in 1939). Not realizing that all other copies of the German original of The Gladiators had either been lost or discarded, Scammell did not try to obtain a microfilm or photocopy. He did note that Koestler’s working title for the novel had been Der Sklavenkrieg (The Slave War–see Scammell, 2009: 164 and note #1) not, as I and others had assumed, Die Gladiatoren (see Burkard, 2004: 162). Scammell failed to find a copy of the German original of Darkness at Noon, a portion of which Koestler somehow recovered in the U.K. after WW II. Mann’s handwritten letter in reply to Koestler’s lengthy and philosophical missive of May, 1937 may be within the Koestler files in Moscow or in Paris if those files were repatriated to France since the fall of the Soviet Empire. Certainly Mann did not make a copy of it before posting the original to Koestler or it would be among the extensive correspondence collection in the Thomas Mann archive. I have tried to make contact with the Directorate of the Russian Federation State Military Archive regarding Koestler’s typescripts and personal papers, but so far to no avail. Prof. Scammell shared the above information with me via e-mails between late 2008 and mid-2009 (see Scammell, 1998 esp. p. 28 for his visit to the Moscow KGB and Comintern archives where he discovered a copy each of Koestler’s two letters of resignation from the German Communist Party).The irony is that after WW II both novels were back-translated into German, The Gladiators from the translation done by Edith Simon, and Darkness at Noon from the translation done by Daphne Hardy (who had fled from German-occupied Paris with Koestler in early 1940). My thanks to Prof. Scammell for his gracious assistance in this and several other matters during the preparation of this article. Grateful thanks also to Brent Shaw of Princeton University for making Buckard’s volume available and for patiently allowing me to expound on the subject of this essay in person over several lunches, and via e-mail correspondence.

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN Thomas Mann 1875 1955 Page 711 "These were the moments when the "Seven-Sleeper," not knowing what had happened, was slowly stirring himself in the grass, before he sat up, rubbed his eyes - yes, let us carry the figure to the end, in order to do justice to the movement of our hero's mind: he drew up his legs, stood up, looked about him. He saw himself released, freed from enchantment -not of his own motion; he was fain to confess, but by the operation of exterior powers' of whose activities his own liberation was a minor incident Indeed! Yet though his tiny destiny fainted to nothing in the face of the general, was there not some hint of a personal mercy and grace for him, a manifestation of divine goodness and justice? Would Life receive again her erring and " delicate " child-not by a cheap and easy slipping back to her arms, but sternly, solemnly, penentially - perhaps not even among the living, but only with three salvoes fired over the grave of him a sinner? Thus might he return. He sank on his knees, raising face and hands to a heaven that howsoever dark and sulphurous was no longer the gloomy grotto of his state of sin."

This symbol means "village" in Ancient Egyptian. Birth of Horus - No Date Given - I watched a German Netflix TV series called "DARK" (2017-2020) with my older brother in mid 2018. It was the second piece of media (the first being Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar") which invoked a feeling of completely overwhelming emotions. Feeling as if "I've seen this" or "felt this 'before.' " DARK is a German science fiction thriller television series that focuses on time travel (at an explicitly strict amount of years--33 years back or forward. It follows Jonas Kahnwald as he discovers why his "father" committed suicide. His father being himself having intercourse with his mother 33 years in the past before his conception. There's also another character who has the EMERALD TABLET tattooed on his back. Admittedly, I never completed watching the show. The feelings invoked by watching it often left me in panic. I still haven't revisited the series but in its 3rd season it introduces the 33 years into the future, which it was set in a post-global nuclear annihilated environment...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Unity in diversity is used as an expression of harmony and unity between dissimilar individuals or groups. It is a concept of "unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation"[1] that shifts focus from unity based on a mere tolerance of physical, cultural, linguistic, social, religious, political, ideological and/or psychological differences towards a more complex unity based on an understanding that difference enriches human interactions. The idea and related phrase is very old and dates back to ancient times in both Western and Eastern Old World cultures. It has applications in many fields, including ecology,[1] cosmology, philosophy,[2] religion[3] and politics.[4] Origin and further Inspiration The Rig Veda, dating back thousands of years provides fundamental insight and inspiration regarding "unity in diversity". "Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" is derived from Rig Veda 1.164.46, highlighting the unity of existence despite its diverse manifestations. It translates to, "Truth is One, though the sages speak of it in diverse ways".

It has applications in many fields, including ecology, cosmology, philosophy, religion and politics.The idea and related phrase is very old and dates back to ancient times in both Western and Eastern Old World cultures. The concept of unity in diversity was used by both the indigenous peoples of North America and Taoist societies in 400–500 B.C. In premodern Western culture, it has existed in an implicit form in certain organic conceptions of the universe that developed in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome."Unity in diversity" is used as a popular slogan or motto by a variety of religious and political groups as an expression of harmony and unity between dissimilar individuals or groups. The phrase is a deliberate oxymoron, the rhetorical combination of two antonyms, unitas "unity, oneness" and varietas "variety, variousness". When used in a political context, it is often used to advocate federalism and multiculturalism.

QUESTION ? HOW LONG IS THE GRAND GALLERY IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA 153 x 12 = 153 = 1836 = 1836 = 153 = 12 x 153 QYESTIN HOW LONG IS THE GRAND GALLERY IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA Grand Gallery & Kings Chamber - Atlas Publications 20m.com Following the ascending passage, up at its 26-degree angle, after 124 feet, we finally arrive at a large open space. This is known as the 'Grand Gallery', unique to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one to have a magnificent grand gallery in its ascending system. It is a hall 153 feet long and 7 feet wide at the floor level, and about 28 feet high, angling upward at the same slope. The walls rise in seven courses of polished limestone. On both sides of the central 2 foot passage are two narrow ramps 18 inches wide and slotted at regular intervals. The purpose of these ramps is unknown, and the purpose of this gallery still remains a mystery. Logic would assume the slope was right for construction and later maintenence, such as cleaning out accumulated silt and mud (after stopping and draining the pump, of course). The steps would tend to catch swirling bits of sediment from the gentle flow of water. The Grand Gallery ends at the passage to the 'Kings Chamber'.

Enigma | Definition, Machine, History, Alan Turing, & Facts Encyclopedia Britannica Enigma, device used by the German military command to encode strategic messages before and during World War II. The Enigma code was first broken by the Poles, under the leadership of mathematician Marian Rejewski, in the early 1930s.16 Mar 2023 In 1939, with the growing likelihood of a German invasion, the Poles turned their information over to the British, who set up a secret code-breaking group known as Ultra, under mathematician Alan M. Turing. Because the Germans shared their encryption device with the Japanese, Ultra also contributed to Allied victories in the Pacific. See also Cryptology: Developments during World Wars I and II.
