In his case though he would have come to it quickly - but I laboured long many a night to find the answer. The thing to do is to follow the path until all the clues are in place and let your mind run free. It is only then that you find what the young master saw: the fixed points in the wind. I had little to go on, just the stories without any detail, more legend than fact about how the numbers worked in secret and, in particular, the magic of one number. My grandfather first told me about those stories and the special drawings and number shapes. Only the remotest people of the mountain village knew about these, he said, but it was all too distant and far away for me to give it any further thought. I was at university and more interested in working out how to put a rocket on the moon; playing with arithmetic was not for me - my mind was occupied with higher things. Then one day I came across a children's book on numbers. One. . . two. . . three. . . . My eye went over the figures. Suddenly I saw something. There were hidden patterns; the old man's story about secret num-bers came back to me and I became curious. I started to look into these simple ideas and the more I searched the more fascinated I became. Something was indeed going on underneath the surface of arithmetic and what appeared as a unique calculation to the outside / Page 6 / world was something quite different when viewed from below. Looked at another way, six and six was not necessarily twelve but something much more exciting - the number 3, of a secret code. I was won over. I began to look at numbers differ-ently. I used the special code I had stumbled on to find out more and track what Enjil had done; I spoke to people and read books; I looked for the answer to the riddle that made the Elders blanch and stir uncomfortably on that fateful day of the Examination. And I finally visi-ted the mountain villages where the pupils in the schools stared at the pictures before they did any cal-culations, in order that they may inspire themselves for the rigours of the task ahead. The pictures of course had been added to and decorated heavily but at their centre stood the original spirit of Enjil's drawings, powerful and beautiful. Through Enjil's investigation and my own research I have learnt many things I was never taught at school. When I think of the effort and the monotony I went through learning by rote, suffering numbers as necessary evils, I shudder. No teacher talked of the spirit of numbers, no teacher showed me the shape of a number. No one introduced me to a secret code that made lightning work of numbers and opened up worlds of wonderful possibilities hidden from the day-to-day grind; found that other peoples too, in ancient times and in other lands, understood numbers as secret and special and alive, and not as mere counters, not just fodder for tiring calculations. Page 7 So I set out on the path Enjil took. My own labours overlap his and our two stories have now become one. But that is how a, personal search should be - with the spirit of that first discovery reaching out and embracing one until no difference can be found between one's own research and the inspiration that was first taken in. What was the author's becomes yours - which must be the meaning of original, something that embraces and absorbs all those inquisitive enough to enquire of others' inventions. And it is in this spirit I dedicate the journey to you. Follow the clues, build up the jigsaw piece by piece and make your own investigations; become part of the search. Go back in time and let the free spirit in you enter. Talk to it, play, ask the strangest questions. Start to count again in the simplest of ways, one, two, three, four... up to nine. You need to do this, but you will also need nine clues. And to begin with there is the story of Enjil himself, the talisman I conjure up whenever I think of numbers and of the fixed patterns that turn in the wind."

CITY OF ATLANTIS John Michell 1972 Chapter NINE The Literary Canon 153 Fishes in the Net "Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty and three' (John 21.11) Why there should have been exactly 153 fishes in the net is a quest-ion which has puzzled commentators from the earliest times.Obviously the number had an esoteric significance, and by reference to the sacred canon of number and geometry this may be discovered.
