Course in Numerology

I think its ironic that we celebrate Jesus' birthday on the 25th. The reason why is because that 2+5 equals 7 and 7 is supposed to be--according to ancient Hebrew numerology--the favorite of the divine.

Also, according to the code, forty is also another favorite of God. February 1968 is when the Family started, February 2008 is when the offensive will begin. In numerology forty-nine is also another favorite number of God. That means that, theoretically speaking, the last seven years could be 2 years after the offensive begins which would make the Millennium begin in 2017.

I'm not saying that its absolutely set in stone. But it is something to think about.

And, speaking of which, here's a pretty little piece I've found for you. Percy Byshelle, to be exact (a wonderful stress relief) with his poem "When the Lamp is Shattered"

When the lamp is shattered
The light in the dust lies dead -
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow's glory is shed.
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.

As music and splendour
Survive not the lamp and the lute,
The heart's echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute -
No song but sad dirges,
Like the wind through a ruined cell,
Or the mournful surges
That ring the dead seaman's knell.

When hearts have once mingled,
Love first leaves the well-built nest;
The weak one is singled
To endure what it once possessed.
O Love! who bewailest
The frailty of all things here,
Why choose you the frailest
For your cradle, your home, and your bier?

Its passions will rock thee,
As the storms rock the ravens on high;
Bright reason will mock thee,
Like the sun from a wintry sky.
From thy nest every rafter
Will rot, and thine eagle home
Leave thee naked to laughter,
When leaves fall and cold winds come.
