How can two walk together unless they agree?

The curtain cannot hang without the rod
And there can be no universal laws without a single, universal enforcer.
Uniformity - it is common - but it is not natural.
How can we go from one end of the universe to the other, and expect the same laws of motion, physics, if this were not so?

You look up at the sky and say "this is beautiful".
Some of us will say that this beauty is "proof that God exists".

I fully believe that for every human being, the beauty of beauty of the consistency of it's parts, whether in relation to one another, or if these parts are following some unknown function not yet know or seen by the human eye, however unusual.

How can you see a function accept in its word-like statement of constants? How can you detect the function apart from the sections of time and space that seem to obey it?

This is the Spirit - statements of life, that are totally separate from the detectable things that it influences - but yet existing and dominating the things below it.

There can be no universality without a God. Not many gods, but just One.

Playing with numbers among the Letters in the Cycles

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 11:22:00 +0000

In this post in the cycles I will show you something cool that can be done with the numbers

in the cycles in the Four Inner Wheels.

If you are not familiar with what the cycles in the Four Inner wheels are, I suggest that read this older post on this site : InnerWheels - A few things you should know (LINK)

...

First, you should know that every letter in the Hebrew Alphabet has a number too. Just like giving the number 1 to A, 2 to B, and so on.

But the procession of these numbers do not go in the same order as the number system you are familiar with.

Here is how it goes:

Traditionally, there is no Hebrew letter to represent "zero". (Most Hebrew speakers today will write out the numbers using Roman numerals, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, etc, while pronouncing these numbers in a different way from the Aleph-Bet letters. I will not discuss this matter in this article. Teaching the Hebrew language is not the purpose of this site. I am under-qualified as far as teaching Hebrew is concerned).

...

Now, as I said, every Hebrew letter has it's corresponding number.

Let's look at them super-imposed on the InnerWheels Chart:

(Once again, if you have no idea what the inner wheels chart is (It is NOT the BibleWheel,) then please refer to my article InnerWheels - A few things you should know (LINK))

Notice how every cycle of letters - I'm calling them Cycles and sticking to it - has a certain number of places.

The numbers in each of these cycles can be added up:

Now at first this doesn't look very interesting - 1, 9, 45 and 1440...

That is until, we try to add the digits within the numbers themselves.

There is a special way to add up numbers larger than 9.

Do you remember being taught in elementary school, that the way to find out if a number is a multiple of nine by adding the digits of the number together?

If the sum of the digits in any number equals 9, then the original number is a multiple of 9 as well.

Try it out yourself!


9	9 + 0	=	9
18	8 + 1	=	9
27	2 + 7	=	9
36	3 + 6	=	9
45	4 + 5	=	9
54	5 + 4	=	9
63	6 + 3	=	9
72	7 + 2	=	9
81	8 + 1	=	9
90	9 + 0	=	9
99	9 + 9	=	18	=	1 + 8
108	1 + 0 + 8	=	9

This applies to “random” numbers, too...
783	7 + 8 + 3	=	18	=	1 + 8	=	9
1962	1 + 9 + 6 + 2	=	18	=	1 + 8	=	9
7837434	7 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 3 + 4	=	36	=	3 + 6	=	9

This sort of digit adding is used in gematria, "the system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrases", usually in some form or fashion based upon the Hebrew alphabet (Wikipedia). There are ways to link the word in question to a final numerical value, however, the method used above for the nine, most closely resembles the method called Mispar Katan Mispari, in which any sum greater than nine has its digits repeatedly added until the final sum is a single digit.

Interestingly, when digits are added in this method, the digits nine, and any group of numbers that adds up to nine, will collapse into the final sum - in other words, they disappear.

Let me show you:

9 = 9

1 + 8 = 9.

1 + 9 = 10. 1 + 0 = 1. One is left and nine is collapsed

2 + 4 + 5 = 11.

1 + 1 = 2. Two has survived the addition, but five and four are lost, since they both add up to nine.

67 + 8 + 9 = 75 + 9.

7 + 5 + 9 = 12 + 9.

12 + 9 = 3 + 9.

3 + 9 = 12. 1 + 2 = 3

I have found that the easiest way to find the mispar katan mispari of a number is to first eliminate all numbers that add up to nine.

When any number of digits add up to nine and these digits are alone, the final mispar katan mispari sum will always remain nine.

However, when nine, or any grouping of digits equaling nine, are in a larger group of digits that add up to a sum other than nine, the "nines" will behave like a zeroes. Any values other than nine will remain in the final total, while the "nines" sums will collapse into that total.

When alone, nine remains.

With others, nine is eliminated and acts like a zero.

And yet, we should never forget that nine is made up of units of one.

So, even though nine is like air by itself, nine would not exist without the one.

Thus, all numbers exist because of the unit ONE.

Let's take a look back at the totals we got from the FourInnerWheels chart:

45 = 4 + 5. 4 + 5 = 9.

and, 1440 = 1 + 4 + 4 + 0 = 9.

All of the cycles, apart from OX, equal 9.

Read past article "Divine Numbers: A Legacy Post" to read more.

OX is the only number that equals something other than 9: 1.

Thus, all of the rings would look like this:

John 1 (NIV)

The Word Became Flesh

3Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.

Colossians 1 (NIV)

16 For by Him (Christ) all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

2 Corinthians 12 (NIV)

Paul’s Vision and His Thorn

7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

How to find YHWH’s name in the Four Inner Wheels Chart

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:18:00 +0000

How to find YHWH’s name in the Four Inner Wheels:

Note: If you have not yet read InnerWheels: a few things you should know;

Or, if you do not know what 4InnerWheels is all about, please read my post,

InnerWheels: a few things you should know. Please note that Innerwheels.blogpot is not in any wasy affiliated with BibleWheel.com

First, draw out the 12 tribes, and then the 22 letters within.

Last time I introduced the InnerWheels in InnerWheels: a few things you should know, I stated that the letters could be arranged in “rays” that project from the letter OX, and line up with the 12 Tribes to form 12 rays.

If you look carefully, you will also notice that the 22 letters also create three inner circles which fit inside of the circle of the 12 Tribes

I like to call these circles rings. Too many wheels here.

So next, you can mark out the three inner rings. These rings include the letters BETH through MARK.

OX is not included in the rings, but is rather the axis of the wheels.

Because what can anyone do without strength to survive?

Energy (n) : a fundamental entity of nature that is transferred between parts of a system in the production of physical change within the system and usually regarded as the capacity for doing work (merriam-webster.com/dictionary/energy)

Do you see that second ring outward, starting from the center OX?

I have highlighted this particular ring below in blue...

You can divide it into upper and lower halves.

Notice how the BEHOLD, NAIL and HAND and all the letters in the top half of the ring?

BEHOLD, NAIL and HAND are HEY, VAV and YOD in the Hebrew language.

Transliterated in English, the three letters would be H, W, and Y

...the only three letters one needs to spell the YHWH's holy name.

Stacking Spheres

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:00:00 +0000

When you go to a supermarket, you may have seen stacks of fruits, arranged in this pattern. It’s almost like a beehive, but mundane.

There’s a good reason why fruit used to be stacked this way in store displays, at least before they started using egg crates to protect the fruit from bruising one another.,,

...and It is not just for the visual appeal.,,

---

Think of this: imagine a universe made only of perfect, smooth spheres: regular, all with the same size.

There wouldn’t be a lot of variety, now would there?

Now imagine each spheres could exert gravity: each sphere was attracted to one another, but were never warped in shape due to their attraction to one another. They just move around in space.

Unlike the atoms in our universe, there spheres could be attached to any number of spheres that space will allow. These forms will try to take up all available space. They do not overlap each other.

What kind of structure do you think those “spherons” would take – given the choice?

My guess is, they would probably form a 1-to-3 nesting pattern.

Why? Because a 1 -to-1 grid-like patter would result in a lot of room not being used.

In a 1-to-3, the most nested sphere will be in physical contact with 12 neighbors. If the spheres cannot be overlapped, then shape is locked by the presence of its own spheres, plus gravity. Even the 14 other neighbors, that can just barely be peeped at between the 12 spheres that surround the sphere, are unable to come into contact with the nestled sphere. The 12 closest spheres will lock these second-neighbors out.

In the 1-to-3, the spheres are at rest.

In a grid-like cube, the nestled sphere will have at most, only six neighbors that it touches directly. The same sphere would also need to be balanced against the attractive forces of at least twenty of its immediate 26 neighbors. The whole structure were to be disturbed, would be enough room for spheres to more into, destroying the balance.

There is far too much space between the spheres to be occupied if the balance were to be broken.

In the cube, the spheres must balance – and stay that way.

I kind of first learned about the how to build a tetrahedron when I was bored and had a pack of plastic cups on hand to pack into a tetrahedron. These cups weren't "spheres" exactly, but the roundness of the cups edges of the cups taught me about the compactness of the tetrahedrons shape.

In those years, I had no internet connection at home, and so I found myself find ways to keep myself occupied. Later on, years later, I would find my self trying to add numbers in the method shown shown in my post Divine Numbers. I had inadvertently discovered a method of adding numbers that is used in Jewish Mysticism called Gematria. The particular method of number "processing" I had used is called Mispar Katan Mispari.

Still without an internet-connection at the time, still being unaware that what i had learned has anything to do with mysticism - (we Christians try to shun away from mysticism even though God spoke Hebrew and used symbolism and numerology repeatedly)- but I was still plucky enough to try figuring out the secrets of the universe use the Biblical texts that I had - a page-missing softcover Zondervan New International Version Bible that happened to have a study guide contain several notes on Hebrew - including the Hebrew meanings of the twelve sons of Israel. I am, eternally grateful.

Most of what I've learned will be written about on this blog.

I began to try and apply what I had learned to color theory while studying a little bit of the Hebrew alphabet. I haven't been able to get my hands on a Biblical-Hebrew course or the time to do so, but I've taken Modern Hebrew (They were beginner's courses, so don't ask me for a translation)...

I hope you'll come t enjoy what you find on this site and at least take a way the presence of the LORD's works in his creation - which include the geometry and color theory, and numerics.

Please read: Divine Numbers

The sum (uncollapsed) for each of the steps shown in my post
Divine Numbers, adds up to the number of regular spheres that would fit into a regular/equilateral triangle.

Center the triangles flat and vertically, stack all of these triangles up (or down, I prefer down), using the 3 -to-1 pattern for the best fit, and you get a regular tetrahedron.

A tetrahedron is a 3-dimensional shape. It is a very special shape.

The larger the number of sphere-built layers added to the tetrahedron, the finer the sides and corners of the tetrahedron will appear, from a distance, or on average.

The regular tetrahedron has 4 faces and 6 edges. It is the 3-dimensional shape with the fewest number of flat sides for any 3-D object. (Can you really call a sphere a shape with only one side? Several little sides, yes, In my view, as long as an object is made up of components - molecules, magnetic beads, whatever have you - smooth surfaces cannot exist. To me, the only smooth "surface" is a surface with a uniform pattern of components.

Each of a tetrahedron’s sides is a regular - equilateral triangle. Each of these sides should be equilateral triangles– no matter many layers are built on to the tetrahedron.

A cube has 6 faces and 12 edges. It has the next fewest number of side of any 3D shape behind the tetrahedron. The cube must be built one dimension at a time – width, height and depth. The cube must have equal, predetermined dimensions before it can become a cube.

A tetrahedron is different. It just keeps going forever. Each layer has a predetermined number of spheres. After this, the builder can decide how many sphere-layers he wants.

With the tetrahedron, the builder must always begin with that #1 sphere.

If the builder wants to begin building a tetrahedron from, let’s say the fourth layer-down with 10 spheres – then the builder’s cannot build a tetrahedron.

Beginning the tetrahedron with more than one sphere will not render a tetrahedron.

Why the number 253 is significant:

The shape you see here has 22 layers.

253 is the number of spheres in a regular 22 layer tetrahedron. 22 is the number of letters in the Hebrew aleph-bet.

The number 253, when condensed Gematria-style, equals the number one. One is the number of leadership, uninhibited self-expression or restraint, and the the number of the God-head.

22, this unlikely number that is not a multiple of 10, 5 or any other obviously related number to any power of 10, has another value of "1".


Natural Counting Order	List of calculations used in post Divine number	Number of Spheres per Layer	Number of Spheres Condensed (Gematria Style)
1	0 + 1	1	1
2	1 + 2	3	3
3	3 + 3	6	6
4	6 + 4	10	1
5	10 + 5	15	6

20	190 + 20	210	3
21	210 + 21	231	6
22	231 + 22	253	1

- Wait. "Uninhibited self-expression and restraint??" What is she talking about?

Well, you can wait for me to explain this self contradiction in a post sometime in the future...

...or... you can extract my answer from this.

253 Spheres... and not a Perfect Tetrahedron

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:28:00 +0000

The number has some significance...to me...

The tetrahedron -all the same object in the pictures - has exactly 253 polygonal spheres.

No, I don't know all of the mathematical stuff - other than I can use horizontally round objects to build it and it has so few sides... I'm just happy I discovered the awesomeness of this shape while stacking plastic cups. I'll teach myself when and if i'm interested....

That's how I roll...

I shall muse, later, about the loveliness of the tetrahedron, even if you're a math lover and are already aware some of it's properties, or am a noob like myself.

See also: Divine Numbers (really old post)

No, It's not a perfect tetrahedron you see below (as you can tell by the crookedness of the sides) vertical edges, because I really didn't feel like typing in coordinates and I'm still figuring out Google's Sketchup8 software.It is amazingly easy to make simple objects with this thing. It's not blender, but you can get stuff off the ground - literally - a whole lot faser...

Moving objects in this program requires practice and fllowing directions and watching a few Youtube videos. It's not that moving stuff is hard - its just that I rely on the software to be so powerful that I get inexcusably lazy...

It's not like I couldn't have figured it out... eventually...

...yeah...

But for now... here are some screencaps... because it took me about three days to put this together in SketchUp - and I wanted to enjoy it.

Enjoy.

Searching the web for a presentation on Google Inc. culture for school, I came across this artist's website and video. My goodness, I don't know how I ended up on this site other that an act of God. There was relevant information, sure, but then I found this film. Nothing to do with Google, by the way.

This has a lot to do with what I was planning on writing later...but why not leave that to a professional?

Enjoy.

InnerWheels - A few things you should know

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:34:00 +0000

Every color has a meaning. Every number a letter

Inner Wheels is based on the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel, the Hebrew aleph-bet, the Additive Color spectrum (red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors our eyes use!)

But first, let's learn a few terms, to help you follow along. Feel free to ask me any questions:

I call this chart the Inner Wheels, because it has three concentric circles, plus one stationary place at its center.

I have named this site, 4InnerWheels after it.

_____________________________________

Key:

REUBEN (Bold and all caps)- Name of Tribe of Israel

OX (Italics and all caps)- Letter of Hebrew alphabet

Goals - Tribe category

[Edit: I'll be nuking this key in a few posts - It just doesn't flow for me. Letters from now on are in all caps.]

_____________________________________

The most basic rule of the chart is this: 1 is the biggest number of all. Everything just gets lesser.

We've all learned that 1 is greater than zero, 2 is greater than 1, 3 than 2 and so forth.

Leave this at at the door for now - the lower the number, the higher the rank.

Here is a thought experiment to explain the reasoning behind this:

Suppose you had whole set of 24 basketball players at your command.

You ask them to play against each other, 12 on 12.

One team works together to score points.

The team of 12 players is each checking his email or trying to be his own leader

Who would win?

The Bible speaks about spirits in command of a human event, not the amount of dirt under command. Quite often, the war that was won was not decided by the size of the army, but whether the only True God was with the army. After that, the the number of soldiers did not matter. If you are divided, then you are weak - it is as simple as this - and the whole world - that includes the parties which you stand against - will be ready to break apart.

Fewer leaders means a stronger team. At least they are are not divided. Strength not only comes in numbers. but numbers and unity.

But with the InnerWheels chart, we just want unity.

Here are some of the basics parts the InnerWheels chart...

First, on the edge of the chart is the Outer Ring. This ring contains the names of the Twelve tribes of Israel in order of birth, goings in a circle of twelve places. GAD should be directly underneath (or across from) REUBEN.

This Inner Wheels chart has more parts to this. They should flow in the same direction of the birth order of tribes in the outer ring.

On this Web blog, all parts of the chart will travel counter-clockwise (the opposite direction that a regular clock hand ticks). You can do this clockwise, but I prefer counter-clockwise, since it coincides with the direction of Hebrew writing, at least from the top.

The important thing is that the rest of the chart needs to follow the same direction that you give to the tribes. So whichever direction you choose, stick with it.

The names of the twelve tribes of Israel should be translate so they will be easy to use.

Any Bible/Torah with the full book of Genesis will give you a rough translation of what the fathers of the tribes' names mean. Just read what their mothers had to say at the times of their births!

Now we go on to the letters.

Inside (but not touching) the ring of tribes will be the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph-bet, in an non-arbitrary spiral outwards, starting at the center. The first letter will be OX (ALEPH).

The next three letters after OX surround OX in a triangle - BET - GIMEL - DALET. Here. you see that I used the literal meanings for the letters - which can be found at amerisoftinc.com and other places on the web. Translated, these letters mean "HOUSE - CAMEL - DOOR", respectively.

The next six letters form a six-point hexagon around the triangle and the "OX :at the center. I used "BEHOLD" to represent the fifth letter, which is "HEY" on this chart. Other place on the web may translate this fifth letter to mean "window" instead.

The next twelve letters form a 12-point path around the hexagon, the triangle and the center "OX".

The Last letter used on this chart is "MARK" ("TAV"). Sofit letters are not used here. (...don't worry if you don't know what a sofit is - those are just a final form for some of the letters when used in writing - they're like capital letters in English, but at the end...)

The final result should be a 12 point ring on the outside, with the letters inside forming a "12-bump" mass in the middle.

There should also be three prominent rays of letters projecting from the center OX point.

The Twelve tribes in the Outer Ring, when placed correctly, should also categorize each of the letters (except OX), into distinct rays under each tribe. Some tribes will have 3 letters in their ray. Some tribes will have two letters. Some tribes will have only one letter underneath the tribes.

...

The twelve tribes create 12 categories of letter (without OX). These twelve tribes can also be subdivided into three categories.

The way that these three categories are derived will be explained in a later post. For now, just follow along and notice which tribe each letter is falls under.

Tribe Categories

There are three categories of tribes. These are Goals, Links and Interactions.

Goals

SEE A SON (REUBEN), VINDICATED (DAN) and REWARD (ISSICHAR) are the three tribes in the Goals category. This is the biggest category...because it has the most number of letters. These are the three prominent 60 degree rays that you see in the chart projecting from OX.

SEE A SON = to generate a thing that was not existing before

HOUSE: any system of being (like a family, a house or person.) Any two things that stick together, regardless of the means, make a house. It could be a chemical bond, physical, gravitational, social, emotional, familial, legal it doesn't matter. A bond is a bond. "A house divided against itself will not stand" (Mark 3:23-26)

BEHOLD: to lack self-restraint (whether for good or ill) The result can be anything, depending on the the stuff that was bound together. It could be children, it could be the sunlight reflecting from a car on a sunny day. It doesn't matter.

PALM: Self-Restraint

You see how there are three letters under the SEE A SON.

As I have said earlier, first things always have dominance.

All the things in the universe are made of parts. Anything that can be seen now, must be made of unseeable parts.

Expression is natural, and is usualle unreetrained unless the expressor has some reason to restrain itself. So, to be release something thing from the self (BEHOLD) is the prerequisite expressing self-restraint (PALM)

Do you notice how the rank of the letters travels outward from the center of the chart, from OX outwards towards the edge of the chart?

VINDICATED = to support, or establish something that already exists.

The difference between Vindicated and Behold is that behold is directionless production. Vindicated is direction based production.

Level 2 - Camel: The Camel represents any thing that it supposed to to work for something else. Camel is under the Tribe of Vindicated, which is also translated to Judge. We decide whether a thing should be vindicated or judged based upon the rules or law that we make for them. The only reason that we make laws and rules is because the ones who must follow the rules are cogs, or parts, of a larger system - a system which has a greater, expected result, expected by the law giver...

Level 3 - Sword: to cut off. If the member of society does not obey the the result oriented rules, it maybe cut off from it's source or the entire syetem. Now, Sword does not neccesarily mean death or an exceution. Sword could also mean being cut off from the society (improsonment) or having one's privaledges taken away.

Level 4 - Support: If the law-abiding member of society continues to follow the result-oriented laws, he/she/it should expect to have its existance withing the system supported.

The difference between Vindicated and Behold is that behold is directionless projection. Vindicated is direction-based production. If you exist, then your existence was effortless. You must make an effort to conceal yourself. But if you are a factory, you must watch everything you do. You must make sure you are not taking actions to cut off your production. Behaviors that damage our abilities to produce are easier to make, than productive ones. This is why the "destructive" letter under SEE A SON is palm, and it sits three letters removed from OX while the destructive letter under VINDICATED is weapon, but it is only two letters removed from the OX.

Shamlessnes is default - and making mistakes that do not benefit us are also default as well.

Beautiful, ain't it?

Reward = The opportunity - to receive some consequence or a useful result from something else.

Level 2 - Door: This is penetration. One cannot enter a closed-off room without changing the room...Think about it. Once the barrier has been opened and crossed, there are one of two things that can happen:

Level 3 - Snake: The enzymes of many venomous snakes works in an interesting way: the enzymes in the venom ruptures the surface of living cells that it comes into contact with, destroying it. The technical term is that these chemicals lyse cells' membranes.

Now, unless, the victim with the busted cells is intended to be food for the serpent in question, the cells and it's contents will need a miracle to get back together. Basically, destruction upon encounter is default.

Level 4 - Needle's Eye: If you could get a thing in your grasp, like a thread in a needle's eye, what would you do with it? If you were smart you would actually... use it. If you chance upon a situation you would be wise to make use of it. Like the needle's eye, every actor has a limited capacity to carry anything. Like the thread, many things that may be be of use, must be handles wisely or the thing may slip out of a useful grasp. Like the thread in the needle, the opportunities afforded us may be taken too lightly, thus threatening the strength of the tapestry behind it and ahead of it.

We often look behind us to guess where we are going, making judgments based on the order of stitches preceding the current emergence of the needle, and the patterns that are suggesting behind us. Patterns do not need to be continued as they are seen, but stitches are difficult to be unscratched.

Like a thread, all things that can be taken up must have an end. Or be invisibly replenished.

Links: Each Tribe in the Links category has two States underneath.

Attached, means, well = attachment

Good Fortune / Approaching Troop = anticipation of an approaching result

May He or It Add = Desire (but no cigar)

Interactions: most of the Tribes (6 out of 12, or every other tribe) are in the Interactions category. Each of the Interactions Tribes has only one State underneath them.

One Who Hears = response to stimuli / command

Praise = Self - Expression

My Twisting/My Struggle = active resistance,

Happy = self - initiative, pleasure

Honor/ House = to receive goods or services from others you

Son at My Right Hand = desire (within one's possession), choice

Well, that's it for now in the InnerWheel Series! There are many more concepts that I have found concerning the chart that I want to share, but I want to get questions in this post and make sure I've answered all of them before I do so.

Any questions?

A question: Can color exist without light?

Think about it.

Probably not.

If I put a photo of the sun in a darkened room, there would be no light, because there is no light.

Now. What is darkness?

Darkness is the absence of light.

What is the color of light?

let's assume its pure light.

Most of you would say "white".

Now I am going to illustrate something for you on the screen which is kind of difficult because of the nature of screens...OK...

Here is Black. You know it is black because of the absence of color. It is also dark. All of the pixels underneath this image should be turned off turned off.

Here is White Light. White light is pure because it is has
"no color". But in case you fell asleep in science class, all white light contains all colors - They're just blended in so well, that you can't tell them apart.

Let's assume all of the tiny pixels on your screen are going off, and are replaced with a white patch that cannot not illuminate light.

Now, here is an "example" of White piece of paper. (yer I know this is not a good example of paper since I'm using a lit screen). White is white by itself. White is to be distinguished from white light. Think white. Paper cannot appear white unless it is in white light. So otherwords, the white is actually dark.

No matter how white a bit of paper is, it cannot light up a dark room - as the light bulb.

White cannot = White Light

White, then, is never the same as white light. Some times they look the same on paper, but they are never the same. White paper may even be a reflector of white light, but they can never truly the same.

So now is your question, "What is your definition for black/and or white and grey?"

White light is energetic. Energy allows work to occur.

But in order for work to occur, something else is needed. Unity.

In order for unity to occur, a common goal is necessary.

A common goal, with many people, pushes many contrary goals out.

So, if a member of the common goal, obeys a will in line with words that are universally effective, YHWH and his laws, then that member's compliance will always give him power. But in doing so, a member's personal will is forsaken.

But if any actor chooses not to obey the the word, he has his own will. He has no master and so is masterless. He will also have less power in his universe. There is a trade-off.

A man who chooses to deny the laws of gravity will fail by it.

Laws of God are similar.

A man can try to live by the Law of Moses. But if he fails to live by them he will suffer, even without God's help.

Obey parents - live long. Disobey parents - find death quickly.

Like I said, there it a trade-off. It is impossible to live forever, let alone longer, by doing "just what we want".

We are all living in the same universe, so it is expected that we are all subjected to the same laws of the universe.

We do not live in a "junkie universe". Everyone lives in the same universe, has to follow the same set of rules in order to interact with it effectively.

Not every "will", can be effective. All paths do not lead to God, or not even to power.

So power is achieved by relinquishing numerous wills.

Numerous wills leads to weakness.

Weakness leads to separation.

Separation is death.

Separation from what is desirable is not desirable.

Love is war. It is unified.

Love's soldiers do not jostle.

They go out as one and change their world, as one. They change the world as one, as servants of God.

And God loves them. They do not die hungry or thirsty. They are servants of God. God preserves them.

Love keeps them alive.

God is light. 1 John 1:5

The servants of God are dressed in white. Revelations 7

They are not their master, but they remain in his presence and they carry his light.

But outside is chaos.

Those who choose to follow their own will - find chaos.

Why? because there is only one God - how can one God start division?

Selfishness is needed for chaos.

Blackness and darkness is the color of mercenaries who do their work in the dark.

They want no one to tell them what to do.

They work for hire, and not for their hire-man.

If they rejected their first master, why should they protect you! They are treasoners, their hearts are in destruction, their fingertips leave destruction and division. They leave nothing behind. Nothing more.

They do not care if they leave destruction in their wake. Their payment is more important. In their rebellion they find destruction. Destruction awaits them.

----

I don't believe in free will. A man can only go as far as his exposure to things. Just as a man cannot be saved without hearing the gospel first.

There can be freedom of choice, while I think is far more important than freedom of will, but is harder to attain. but you cannot have freedom of choice and freedom of will at the same time.

Dark is the color to have no master and have freedom of will.

White is the color of having freedom of power in the earth, but as a result having no free will.

White Light symbolizes Life, the power to do work.

So what is grey?

Grey is a another shade of black. It just appears less "dark" than Darkness itself. But do not be fooled. They are all still dark. They make the darkness less dark by appearing to be as bright as white - but it isn't.

One gets to grey by obeying the laws of light - occasionally. But these habits does not keep grey it from being dark. Only white is clear, and reflect the brightness of the white light.

(to be continued)...

Divine Numbers (a legacy post)

noreply@blogger.com (caltrap) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:44:00 +0000

This is taken from my good-old site what-i-learned.webs.com. This site didn't get a lot of traffic. I've left it abandoned. The post below is edited.

I am warning you - Do not leave any comments on that site - I probably will not read it!

Leave your comments here! More stuff like this will probably be posted on CyclicalCausality!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open your bibles... The Holy ones... Take a good look at the numbers on the verses. Keep them in mind... relate...

Now close them and look at your screens, please.

I'm going to show you something new, that might be old.If you are into Gematria, then you might already know this... but... here it goes...

say you have a number... say 2012 and you want to know if you can divide it by three. Here's how you do it... You take all of the numbers in the the figure - say, 2 and 0, 1 and 2, and you must add them together. 2, 0, 1, 2 and you get 5. 5 is not divisible by three, you should know. If the number is not divisible by three, this number is really not divisible by three. Really, try it!

I hope you know this is somewhat common knowledge...somehow i got through high school w/o knowing this. But there's something else i want to teach you. But this rule is applicable.

The same also goes for 9 too. Multiples of nine always add up to nine, no matter what. This, I like to call the "diet number." You'll find out why in a while.

But for now...

take the number one

1

then add the number two to this

1 + 2 = 3

then add the next number, in series, which would be three.

3+3=6

Then add the number four to this sum.

6+4=10

Now we have a sum that is two digits long. We will treat the zero as a digit for now. Then we will continue to add numbers in series. Next is five.

10 + 5 =15

OK. now we have a two digit sum with numbers we can add. Now take the two numbers and add them.

1 + 5 = 6

OK? now remember where you were when adding numbers. the last number was five, now it is six.

6+6= 12

Now add these two digits.

1 + 2 = 3

then add 7 to the sum you have.

3 +7=10

Then keep Going...

10 + 8 = 9 ... thats an odd one, isnt it?
Again...

9+9=18
1+8= 9

Amazing! and again...

9 + 10 = 1

And the whole thing starts again. I've done this up till forty, and my reasoning is that this will continue again for infinity if you keep on adding numerals.

You will get this Chain:

136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199136163199....

On and on and on...

There are three types of Symmetry I can see off the top of my head.

1) the fact everything is a result of one.
2) that the 6's flank the 1's on each side when they appear,
and 3) 9 flanks nothing, but the 1's do flank the nines, See?
4) the 3's flank the 6's, but also the 1's, why did not get this until now?

Look:

Elohim is One
...
He created the land and the vegetation on them on the third day of creation.
...
He created Man on the Sixth day
...
But on the seventh day he rested,,,
...
The Man was made in His image... to rule over the the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts, the cattle and every creeping thing and all of the earth...
but the earth belongs to God (since he created it all you see...) We need to cling to him... because...

Worshiping idols, that are made of dirt, is a problem. To worship is to conform...
6x3=9, the number on the beast that is man's

even cubed, it does not work.

6^3=216, which also equals nine...

as for the beast, which we'll agree is from the devil, what does this flank?

9 9. that, is nothing. its is based off of nothing. It's worship is nothing.

And nothing plus nothing is nothing. Now, something plus nothing equals only the thing you had in the first place.

So that any thing you add to it must remain the same.

1, 000,000 +9 = 1

and 111,728,922,324= 6
But 111,728,922,324+54=6 also...

that is the diet plan, lol!

What did God have to say about this?

"18 Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud. " Proverbs 16:19 NIV

"6'Be careful,' Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.'"Mathew 16:6

17 "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 18 In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether he is an alien or native-born. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread." Exodus 12:17

11 " 'Every grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in an offering made to the LORD by fire." Leviticus 2:11

Yeast+Water+Bread= bread with air in it. Dough plus air equals the same amount of dough, if not less dough, plus some air and waste products. Yeast is a living organism.

SO what shall we say,

Pride perhaps, is a support based on nothing?

Pride: n. feeling of superiority: a haughty attitude shown by somebody who believes, often unjustifiably, that he or she is better than others (Encarta ® World English Dictionary)

But here is the problem with using the word "nothing".

God is infinite.

Trick question: who is above God?

The correct answer is: God above God. A wrong answer is actually "no one is above God". Get it?

You just have to remember who it started with. God began the chain. We are to keep adding one, and then one more, although we do not know where the first one came from. It was there already to work with.

You can't work with anything unless something is provided for the price of nothing.

Indeed, everything flanks God. Even though we don't see this all of the time.

___________________________________________________________

So, I was looking for anything important enough in the Bible that would fall into 3rds, 6ths, 12ths, and so on.

There was one other problem: I couldn't read or understand Hebrew. Thankfully, I had a copy of the New International Version Bible with a few footnotes for Hebrew Translation.

When His inspiration came for , "Twelve Tribes" of Israel, I could run to my Bible.

This would be the ultimate test of how much the utility the Bible had. I knew I would find something in the Bible - but I was also holding pretty firmly to those colors as well...

Happy coincidence.

Did you know that the word "coincidence" does not exist in the Hebrew language? So I've heard...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take the Additive Color Spectrum:

Now divide it into 12 equal parts:

Now take Name of the Twelve Tribes:...

Reuben

Simeon

Levi

Yudah

Dan

Naphtali

Gad

Asher

Yssachar

Zebulon

Yoseph

Benyamin

...and translate these names into whatever language have you (Here it is in English):

(Most Traslations are according to Zondervan New International Vercion Study Guide Notes, 2008:)

"See, a son (The Hebrew also sounds like "he has seen my misery")

He who Listens [Obeys, Hearkens]

Attached

Praise

Vindicated

My Struggle

Good Fortune

Happy

Reward

Honor [House] (Some other translations have "Dwelling place" or "Glorious dwelling place" - You get the idea.)

May He Add

Son [of my] Right Hand

Next: The common knowledge is that red is followed by orange, then yellow in color spectrum, regardless of the science used.

Now place the names in order upon each slice of the pie, one name per slice.

And there you have it...

The twelve Tribes of Israel, mapped to an additive color wheel... provide the nuances of color meaning that evade us today, and a psychologist will probably spend hours trying to categorize.

A warning: just because two colors look the same, does not mean that they are the same.

Your brain might be able to tell the difference between the colors - once you view them apart!

Need more Clues?

Here.

I have a rule of thumb: If the choice of color remains popular for a very long time, this is might be the reason. Look at it this way: there are dozens of places that we can see a particular color - but only one of those occurrences will stick in our minds the most.

Why does the street cone have to be orange, or everything else online that works (or is supposed to work) have to be blue? What about that famous jeweler with that trademark color that is greener than robin's-egg blue?

If the actual behavior of a concept or object, like wireless communication or the color of dreams actually matches a color, the mind remembers it. It is color amplification: score.

[Edit]

----------------------------

One should never disregard a "historical" attribute of a color, which will actually be stronger than the "color wheel" attributes above.

Why?

Say I gave you red M&M. It contained no sugar and was bitter. Your spit it out.

Say I am able to convince you to eat another M&M. This time it is blue.

This time, the candy tastes “Fine”.

Now, say I were to offer you two M&M’s – One was blue and the other red.

Which on would you choose?

If you were learning

(even if I could have tampered with any of the candies – without regards to color).

Would color alone have an influence? Possibly. If you happened to like the color red, you might like the color enough strongly enough to eat the red M&M once again.

Think of shopping in a store. Unless you are looking for a particular phrase or “group of words” to help you decide, package design and color would have a powerful influence on how you choose “randomly”.

People use all kinds of information to make a decision. In a store some use language by looking for words and phrases. Maybe you want to hear what the floor manager has to say about the item. Some use color, some use form, others are more tactile.

If you bought a brand or variety that you later disliked, and the purchase was not based on “language” but was based on form and color – let’s assume you do not a have a strong sense of smell.

A few things may happen:

You may finally take note of the wording and avoid the brand or variety in the future.

You may avoid the packaging.

You may avoid the color scheme.

Or, if you are strongly attached to the color, you may end up buying the product again, or an item in a similar package.

Under non-psychotic circumstances, it shouldn’t matter, if your favorite color happened to be red, or you happened to have been bitten by a blue dog when you were younger.

Are you saying I’m crazy, idiot?

Some things don’t kill us fast enough, that being drawn to them can be called an “official disorder”.

I knew that if God was going to use colors in spiritual language, the Bible would have to answer for itself what those colors meant.

And so, the journey begins...

----

I tried taking the ColorQuiz. Although personally, I found this quiz quite accurate, it's not as if the webmaster is going to simply give me the quiz's code just for the asking... if I could even understand it.

So I had the Bible.

I had already tried to split the color spectrum into 6ths. Sixes were an easy number and seemed to be a number of significance in the Bible other than seven.

Seven is God, Six is man, five is a woman... (I don't know about the woman part, I just heard it somewhere)...

When I looked in the Bible, I figured, "hey, twelve a number that can be used to divide the color spectrum!"

"Where am I getting this from?", you ask.

The additive color spectrum is divisible by thirds, sixths, twelvths, so on and so forth. With three primary colors, I knew there are intermediate combinations (6) and tertiary colors (12 all together) available.

So I was looking for anything important enough in the Bible that would fall into 3rds,, 6ths, 12ths, and so on.

One other problem: I couldn't read or understand Hebrew. Thankfully, I had a copy of the New International Version Bible with a Study Guide footnotes.

You can read the some of the passages that I read, (without study guide), here:

Biblos.com

Genesis 29:all

Genesis 30:1-24

Genesis 35:16-26

Notes: Laban means "White"; Jacob means "One who wrongfully holds the place of another"; Esau means "hairy" (nickname Edom means "red")

When His inspiration came for , "Twelve Tribes" of Israel, I could run to my Bible.

This would be the ultimate test of how much the utility the Bible had. I knew I would find something in the Bible - but I was also also holding pretty firmly to those colors as well...

Happy coincidence.

What do colors have to do with the word of God?

We see that choices of color as important in biblical accounts.

YHVH desired a theme of scarlet, blue, purple and gold in his temple (Exodus 26:36, 26:31, 28:33).

The Kind of Judah, we a told, "will wash his garments in the wine, his robes in the blood of grapes" (Genesis 49:10-12).

The great serpent and one of the beasts of Revelation is described as being red. The woman on the beast is described as being dressed in purple, scarlet and gold (Revelation 12:3, 12:7-9, Revelation 17:3-4).

I do not believe that this has simply to do with "the color of blood": blood tends to mellow out brown after it gets old.

Is brown still "reddish"? Yes. But I wanted was some sort of "word" for it. After all, wine and grape juice was - and still is used - as a "means of delivery" for Jesus' blood for the Christian Communion.

And then there are other colors that are not so easily explained.

Blue for instance. What is that? Sky? Water? Both of water and horizon change colors often... and YHWH does not seem all that into things that are change often in quality. And God is about faith (1 Corinthians 1:9).

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." (James 1:6-8)

I knew that people assign attribute and qualities to colors... Purple is pride. Pink is desirable for many girls (though not historically). Black is either reserved, honorary or associated with gloom.

Many different kinds of meanings.

I knew that if God was going to use colors in spiritual language, the Bible would have to answer for itself what those colors meant.

And so, the journey begins...

The purpose of this blog is to prove that the Bible has truths that permeate human, modern life - without necessarily having to be taught.

The goal is that visitors will appreciate the Bible as the Inspired Word.

Well, first post...

I first began getting interested in color theory when I was in high school.

I already had an interest in beauty, anything interesting and remotely anime since elementary school

- And by remote, I mean r-e-m-o-t-e... even the "American anime" hybrids.

Then one day, a friend introduced me to DeviantArt....

I made an account, I logged on, and I did more "faves" than I posted works...

And in my tiny teenage brain. that was constantly thinking about how I could make myself prettier - online - and figuring out what people liked, I thought:

"People are sheep, I know that. But even I seem to like the same pictures that everyone else is "faving"... And I know that it can't be a "sheep syndrome" - I am one individual away from being a "lone wolf", and my friend is not even on DA (DeviantArt) - let alone an artist...

"Why do most of the pretty peices of work, always feature the same color schemes? ...Red and cyan, blue and yellow...magenta and acid green.... hmmm ..

I was also taking psychology by now, so I had to know....

Then one day, as I was glancing through someone's Photoshop tutorial, I found a little bit of advise on color...

Colors across from each other are complimentary...

Who hooo! Like I didn't already know that. Blue goes with orange, red goes with Christmas green...

but wait! Blue was not across from orange, as I had been so taught since elementary school. It's accross from yellow...

...Like a sunny day...

The person's tutorial contained a screenshot, which had a color picker from Photoshop.

Red had cyan as complimentary, a color I had never heard of before...

Purple met with a bright green, but not yellow.

This artist's primary colors weren't right!

"additive colour" by dullhunk

After I stuck with this guy's idea of colors that work afterwards, until I learned that there were two kinds of color wheels.

The first wheel is based off of the subtractive color physics.

Physical materials absorb light.

When you see a strawberry red, that is because the strawberry's surface sank every other color except red. That is why you see red.

I am not very knowledgeable about physics and light, but from what I can understand, a material, like paint will absorb light waves differently than if it were "pure" light.

So even though your eyes tell you that teal and red are complementary, pigments with red and green will not create black or grey, but brown.

"Subtractive" primary colors will produce a very limited gamut of color, meaning that they will not produce all the colors we can see. It cannot produce magenta, teal (or cyan), or "bright" greens.

"Additive" primary colors, on the other hand, are produced when light, and not pigments are mixed. From here we can produce I believe, the full spectrum of colors we can see.

But of course, someone who had confused subtractive and additive colors, went around telling us that colors across from each other on a pigment wheel, actually "look good".

There's a difference between acknowledging that two colors mix to create a third, and then putting these colors on a chart to suggest that any of these colors are complimentary.

Purple and yellow are not complimentary. Anyone who tells you that purple and yellow are, needs to study color theory from someone who has a computer.

People,

Here's the next part: What do colors have to do with the Bible?

The purpose of this site is to explore Christian, Biblical insights from an aesthetic point of view. Exploring additive color theory and how it relates to the bible, Hebrew, and some other things that I haven’t gotten to posting yet…so we can understand God's word and the things that drive us to do.

Read and enjoy.
