“Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?" (Isaiah 40:12)

(Excerpts from the Second Part)

THE GREATEST ARCHITECT

Life is an art; art is beauty; and there is beauty in life itself. Everything we see, feel, hear, touch or smell reminds us of similar experiences. The clouds, the birds, the trees, the sea waves, the rain, the stars, our friends and our love ones - these are common things we use to see everyday and yet our appreciation of them, of this beauty of nature is endless because we are part of it and our life is an art in itself. And like an art, our life has a pattern, a design, a blue print or a sequence that we are unconsciously leading through. There is this cycle of life from birth, maturation and death which is true to every living creature. The same with the seasons and human emotions for these are signs of changes from one condition to another letting us know when the next sequence comes. With all these, there must be the great designer who created and put everything in their proper order.

God is the greatest architect and the best artist!

The grand design of the plan of God is called formula. This formula serves as the blueprint in the execution of His plan. His creations of the universe and of the earth were all based on formulas. These formulas were all designed with corresponding divine words and numbers arranged in manners to materialize something or anything from nothing. Whatever God had planned previously were first materialized in His mind, an abstract of the temporal plan which is perfect and absolute. This is the rationalization of a plan, whatever it is, always bears perfection because it originates from the mind – an ideal construct of its form. It will only deviate from the ideal form once being executed. God is the only perfect planner and designer.

In mathematics we consult to formulas in solving problems. Chemistry cannot be called a science without formulas. Everything in nature is made up of formulas, and formula is the design of everything.

Assuming that God is the mind where all His plans concerning the universe, the earth and man emanate. These plans were all perfectly designed because the designer is perfect. Therefore, these three creations are also perfect because the designer had perfectly planned and executed them. It’s the act of God and always bears the characteristics of the doer. So, man is a perfect creation, and his state being human is designed with the same manner as the “planner” and the “plan” because he has the mind (planner) and the body (plan) embodied in one entity.

Let us put in this way: the universe is the design or blueprint of the plan. God is the planner and the universe is the realization of the plan. God being the planner is the mind, and the universe as the materialized plan is the body. Whatever be the purpose of God to the universe will materialize because He is God. And being the mind (God), His body (three creations) is always dependent with the dictates of the mind, and whatever be the plan of God to the universe will always in connection with the beneficiary of the plan – the earth. I believe a plan is always something that reflects a certain degree of gratification in order to satisfy the purpose - the end itself. If this is true, then we can deduce that the earth, as designed in the same manner as the universe, must be of the same plan being materialized together with the planner. But, assuming that the earth is the plan, who is the planner then? It must not be God anymore; instead it must be something that could represent God in a way that can be like God itself. I conclude this must be the natural law which holds all the patterns of natural phenomena in the material world. But what is the end purpose of all these natural forces in nature? Since nature has its own pattern of activity, all these things are all designed in order to maintain a perfect balance in nature. This is the defense mechanism of nature in order to restore itself and last for ages.

Man must be a great planner too, like God. This is true because man has the characteristics of both the planner and the plan. His mind encompasses almost everything in the material world, as limitless as the universe. That’s the characteristics of God as the planner; he is as big as the universe and encompasses everything, like man’s mind. The totality of the human body is the end result of the plan as perfected in the mind of the designer – which is God – as represented by man. Let us discuss this further. Man is not like God who can create man like in the act of creation. But man was created in same image or likeness of God. He is given the gift to be rational and acts the way as his creator does. He is given the spirit to be more superior and far above from the rests of creatures. He was even assigned to subdue and take good care of them. And, after man had taken the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” he became like God, knowing what is good and evil. In this way he became the reflection of his creator; a thinking individual who can plan and act for the satisfaction of his will. In fact he even learned how to [pro]create.

Now, man is gifted with a spirit and a powerful brain, and this spirit and brain made him a rational planner. It shows that man, if properly guided by his spirit and rational thinking, and acting in accordance with the will of his creator, can perfectly accomplish a plan. Since the body is dependent from the brain, it is a truism that a disciplined mind reflects a disciplined body because the body is the mirror of the brain. Whatever the body displays is a reflection of what the brain is thinking. Thus, the thinking of an individual can be known from his obvious behavior – that’s the essence of psychology.

Based on the views presented I can conclude that the creation of the universe, of the earth and man were all based on one and the same pattern leading to one ultimate purpose – the establishment of the “living temple” of God in this material world.

TWO UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES

There are two universal languages that exist prior to the coming dawn of man. These are the language of God (words), and the language of nature (numbers). Since God created everything with His very own words, everything must be in existence in consonance with His words as framed in each blueprint of creation, like in the basic foundation of life – the DNA. “DNA did not create life; life created DNA.”⁷¹

Now, every word is made up of letters and letters are numbered accordingly. All letters are sequentially arranged like numbers and forever be that way, that the first letter “alpha” (A) is always be the first, then followed by “beta” (B) and so on until the last letter.

Numbers hold the primary key to unfold the mysteries and the hidden meanings of the unexplained phenomena in nature. Numbers are found in everything and everything is numbered. These numbers framed the formulas and these formulas framed the structures of everything. God is infinite but we can understand His nature through numbers. And since numbers is the only universal language man had ever known to co-exist with the infinity of God it is only through numbers that man can understand God and nature. This is through the secret meanings of numbers in the esoteric knowledge of the cabbalah.

The cabbalah may be defined as being the esoteric Jewish doctrine. It is called in Hebrew QBLH (qabalah), which is derived from the root QBL (qibel) meaning “to receive.” This appellation refers to the custom of handing down the esoteric tradition by oral transmission, and is nearly allied to tradition.⁷² But the doctrine did not start with them. It all started from the very beginning when God elected some of His angels to aide Him; when He organized the ruling class of theosophic angels who will manage the rest of them. Then it became the source of doctrine shared by the rest of angels.

Accordingly, there are knowledge man is not allowed to know but by the angels since from the very beginning, from the time God had commanded man not to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of god and evil. But these knowledge is not forever being unknown for man but only for some times until the right moment man is ready to understand them. However, we were told that when the watchers cohabited with human beings they taught these heavenly knowledge to men, such as; sword-making, the use of antimony and jewelry, enhancements, root-cuttings, astrology, constellations, knowledge of the clouds, signs of the earth, signs of the sun, and the course of the moon.⁷³ And such knowledge was observed by the Jews (2 Chron. 2:4), and even mentioned in the book of Luke: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.” (Luke 21:25).

To Jewish mystics, every letter in the Hebrew alphabet was a channel to the life force of God and possessed of sacred meaning. As one cabbalistic interpretation explains, the Torah constitutes one long name of God, and that it was broken up into words so that human minds can understand it.⁷⁴

The Language of Nature. Nature co-exists with God. Like God, nature has its own language. When Adam had learned the language of God, he as well had learned the basics in his natural birthright of understanding his immediate environment - through numbers. Nature, unlike God, cannot speak of itself what man supposed to know about it but man had devised a way to learned what he ought to know from nature – through science.

In our layman’s concept, the known numbers are interpreted as follows:

0

Zero (O) – is not a number because it signifies emptiness or a vacuum. Before creation, there is nothing in the universe. Even the concepts of time and space never existed prior to creation. Look at the figure itself, there is nothing inside the circle. And if we treat the circumference line as just an imaginary line there will be absolutely nothing on it but an empty concept. However, emptiness signifies perfection and completeness, an abstract form of a plan that exists in the mind of the planner. The figure itself signifies continuation or a cycle without a beginning and end – everlasting – and that is one of the attributes of God because He started everything out from nothing. He who has no beginning and no end. This number is God Himself at rest.

1

One (1) – is the number of the beginning; the onset or the inertia which is exactly like the end scenario of the big bang. This is the spirit of God moving in all corners of the universe manifesting His glory and omnipotence among His creations. This number signifies certainty and fulfillment like the beginning of life or the onset of movement in the universe.  This is also the number of spirit which became a living soul.

2

Two (2) – is the unification of God and nature, and the fulfillment of the plan which is the creation of a single entity through the unification of these two entities. In common idiom, this number signifies matrimony or the union of a man and a woman which is eternally bound not by the effect of the law or marriage but by the enigmatic force of love. This also represents man in direct contact with his creator.

3

Three (3) – signifies strength or force of energy of God as represented by nature. In sacred geometry this number, as symbolizes by an equilateral triangle, is the strongest. Try to apply force into any side of a pyramid of triangular figure you will notice the shape will remain constant without any indication of deformation. Apply the same force to a figure of square, circle or rectangle and each one will show indication of deformation. Hence, triangle is the strongest amongst all figures as indicated by the figure itself.

4

Four (4) – represents equality. The earth has four corners or directions signifying exact location, like a square signifying equality and absoluteness. A square cannot be called as such if one of the four sides is different from the rests. The same with the four directions when finding exact location, we cannot specify an absolute grid without reference to these four directions all in one as represented by an axis. Look closely to this number, it is a symbolic representation of an axis (+).

5

Five (5) – represents balance. Try to put all the numbers in a line and you will find this number five (5) exactly at the middle. In mathematics, five means midpoint or center, the dividing line of two equal parts. This number, however, signifies uncertainty or confusion as both equal sides represents equal weight, volume or value. Compare this number to a snake; they are both like the letter “S”.

6

Six (6) – means action or human endeavor and decision making. In the rules of court, a decision must be firm, final and with unconditional effect. God created everything, including man, within the six days of creation. Six is also the symbol of a fetus, the result of the actions of a man and a woman.

7

Seven (7) – means sacrifice and perfection and enjoyment. Sacrifice means suffering the consequences of anything done, decided or acted upon. Perfection is the promise of a perpetual excellent action. Enjoyment is the opposite of sacrifice. God made the seventh day holy, a time for savoring the fruits of the good deeds.

8

Eight (8) – signifies completion and success. There is an old saying that “sacrifice is the key to success.” In the succession of numbers, seven (7) precedes eight (8), thus the significance implied. In a normal procedure, the first step always precedes the second and so on, and in doing so, success follows at the end of the procedure if strictly followed. Success also denotes possibility for a new beginning, a new onset, a possible repetition of the procedure or a completion of the cycle. Look at the figure itself; it is like a road of a never-ending journey.

9

Nine (9) – is the highest number; the continuation and the number of foundation. It is not the last but rather a priory for the next cycle, thus nine is the continuation and not the ending. In fact, nine is the metaphorical depiction of a fetus signifying the promise of a new life after its long stay inside the womb for nine months. It is also a representation of zero (0) and one (1) combined together forming the figure.

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

The tree of knowledge of good and evil is one of the most contentious verses in the book of Genesis. Did Adam and Eve really eat a real fruit which God had forbidden them not to eat so they were cast out from the Garden of Eden? How could a very loving God have created such kind of tree that only by eating its fruit man will be chastised? It must be a different kind of fruit of very high importance and significance. But why God had put it in a place so accessible and without a guard, a fence or a cover? Besides, if it was a fruit-bearing tree why its fruit is forbidden to eat? And if the fruit is forbidden to eat, when can it be taken or for what or for whom the fruit is then?

This requires wisdom for one to discern its meaning.

God created the tree of knowledge of good and evil not for man to do both good and evil but for him to gain wisdom and to know how to balance between the two. But if God had created this tree of knowledge does it mean that He is also a God of both good and evil at the same time? Definitely no! He is not and He will not. Although God is the source of this tree of knowledge of both good and evil, He is still the most loving and the most gracious good God we ever knew, and thus He did not create the tree only to confuse man or to let him do both.

Now, man had already learned all the knowledge of both good and evil. But he at the same time is given the will power to choose between the two. And merely having the knowledge of evil things is not an absolute condition for eternal damnation but merely a situation that requires his wise decision. In fact having the gift of the spirit (of knowledge of good) is not a sure ticket for salvation.

 “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.” (1 Cor. 13:2).

And, that’s exactly what I am trying to explain. It is all laid for man to decide for his own salvation through the grace of God.

“…And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.” (Matt. 25:14-15).

It is not the sort of knowledge or talent man has that will determine his kind but in the ways he uses it that will either harm or benefit him and others.

Mystery of Cabbalah. I previously mentioned that the watchers, upon cohabiting with humans taught them sacred doctrines. Remember that the source of this doctrine is God and this doctrine must be off-limit to men, like the tree of knowledge of good and evil created by God but not intended for Adam and Eve for the meantime. However, this sacred doctrine will not forever be unknown to men but on the proper time, like the fruit of the tree of good and evil waiting for the right time to ripe before them can take from it. (Deut. 1:39).

The destruction of the Tower of Babel is another indication that there is certain knowledge God doesn’t like men to know but not forever. But men have now gone beyond that reached of the tower, to the moon, and probably can go beyond that. Like in knowing God, he is absolutely not of our kind and in our dimension but the ultimate purpose of sending his Begotten Son is for men to find the way back to Him. The same goes when we seek for the true knowledge of this sacred doctrines, it will not forever be unknown to men but in due time. Apostle Matthew wrote, “…I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” (Matt. 13:35).

The mystery of the cabbalah is as infinite as God hence man’s finite understanding must be aided by the same infinite means in knowing Him and lean not unto his own understanding. God avoided man not to eat the tree of knowledge simply because of man’s nature of limited understanding which may lead him go astray. Bear in mind that eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of god and evil implies acquiring knowledge of both sides but not offering any choice from amongst the two. And, having the knowledge of both sides of equal weight offers confusion on which side to take. However, as human civilization is progressing, man is becoming like a god, and even almost perfected the act of creation – cloning.

Man’s venture in science has gone beyond expected but still more and more phenomena are becoming strange to him. He has already discovered and developed an anti-matter, succeeded in splitting an atom, or even developed a judgment-day-like way to annihilate his kind. These only suggest that man’s quest for godhood is not far beyond. But man’s quest for knowledge leading to godhood is not new. It’s all started with Lucifer long time ago. And man is now at the brink of repeating the same mistake committed back in heaven.

The cabbalah is like the esoteric knowledge of the akashic records, all in one. There is this “blueprint” man is suppose to do as foreseen by God prior to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and of the tower, but ought not to be known by man until the due course of time because this would only spoil the fulfillment of the very essence of His grand plan. This blueprint – all in one – is the esoteric essence of cabbalah. And cabbalah is the key to uncover this esoteric essence. Like in the blueprint or grand design, everything is there provided through the knowledge of cabbalah – the designs, the plans and the formulas, including the level of man’s understanding in the absorption of this hidden knowledge for him to know and do in due time for each phases of the grand plan. But because of man’s disobedience form God’s commandment his allotted time is becoming nigh of which Lucifer is aware of the same.

Basic Mathematic Principles.  In the language of numbers, there is succession signifying the first mathematical operation where all other operations emerged. There was this succession from the first to the seventh day of creation; the union between God and nature; the creation of woman to be the companion of man; and there was this command from God for man to multiply and replenish the earth after their extraction from the Garden. But then, men began to divide themselves because of their indifferences.

The basic in the cabbalah is knowing the direct meaning, like knowing the common significance of each number which is the least difficult way of interpretation. Unfortunately, despite the level of knowledge man had acquired through the whole process of human history, still our level of comprehension had not yet fathomed the inner sanctum of this angelic knowledge. Because a mystery is indefinite thus subjective in nature and the closest way to discover its secret is through the same approach inward. And like in our search for God, we can only deal on the nature of the fruit in order to know the nature of the tree. Hence, this basic knowledge of the cabbalistic must be applied unto the immediate naturalness of man.

Illustration 1:

-          Adam (1) was the first living soul; the fulfillment of the plan; the first human representation of God.

-          Eve (5) was the first human who acquired the knowledge between good and evil. The first balancer; the first judge.

-          Noah (2) found grace in the eyes of the Lord for he was a righteous man.

-          Jesus Christ (7) is the ultimate example of man’s complete sacrifice and the only way to spiritual perfection called salvation.

Knowing One’s Inner-Self or Ego. Our inner self is our soul (incarnated spirit) whose existence is justified through our awareness or consciousness, as Rene Descartes speaks out that, he, being in doubt of his existence asserts that his mere act of doubting presupposes something which was engaging in doubt. His proposition is famously expressed as cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). Our being aware or conscious is indicative of something in us responsible for this mere act of thinking which must be an aid to our will. Conversely, there is a part of our consciousness that uses our thought. This consciousness, this part of our self is thus more essential than our thinking. The essence of man, therefore, goes beyond the mind and the body⁸⁰ – our spirit.

Our given name, which is our material identity, is just a temporal label of our material self and thus cannot bear the identity of our spiritual self. Our individual akashic record bears our true and incorporeal identity which will forever be the same in eternity. This individual record is part of the general akashic record called the “Book of Life” which bears all the information of everything – matter and ethereal - since the dawn of creations. And knowing one’s inner-self or ego is as vital as knowing the fruit, and a good start. Accordingly, our most immediate friend is our inner-self of which we must be acquainted with.

Illustration 2: 

-          FEM’s ego initial could be F.M., E.A., D.S., N.O. or A.C.

Knowing One’s Personality. We tend to display various modes of behavior on different occasions but generally maintain our typical actuation which is already a brand to our personality. And to our amusements, there are people whose personalities are similar with someone whom we knew. It is because our inner-selves (spirits) are related with each others as they came from the same realm and existing in invariable but perpetual conditions. In like manners, our behaviors are often displayed in similarity with the others, as our body is the mirror of our inner-self.

One particular theory on personality (psychodynamics) suggests that personality is influenced by the unconscious mind⁸¹ which is the reservoir of our feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that are outside of our conscious awareness.⁸² Another theory (humanist) explains that free will and individual experiences are contributory in the development of personality.⁸³ All experiences are stored in the consciousness where free will resides.

Our body is the reflection of our thoughts - the brain is the abode of our consciousness; our conscious is the link to our subconscious; and, our subconscious is our window to the spiritual realm. Thus, the totality of our personality is just the lower spiral dimension of our spiritual self.

Illustration 3: 

-          FEM’s personality is 9.

Knowing One’s Level of Strength. Three is the strongest number. In one’s personality, three signifies the ultimate level an individual’s free will can reach. Every individual has his own level of willpower. Each level is influenced by individual’s orientations as fixed by individual differences. There is an old saying that “what your mind can conceive, your body can achieve.” But this is true only to those whose determinations are maximized to the fullest and twined with the inertia of accomplishing it, as this statement goes, “to know the end is almost to have found the way, and to have the impulse to know the way is almost to have reached the end.”

This same truth goes with our intelligence quotient (IQ) which is likened to the capacity of a graduated cylinder. We cannot go beyond the limit of our intelligence which is very logical. A cylinder with a maximum capacity of 100 ml. cannot hold water with a volume of 110 ml. Thus, our free will’s strength is our graduated cylinder which sets limit to the level of our determination.

Illustration 4:

-             FEM’s strongest number is 6.

Knowing One’s Level of Accomplishment. The will, as it functions independently from the body is as infinite as the universe. But the body, which is the foremost of the mind, is dependent from the later. And the consciousness, which is the abode of the free will, is always influenced by physical experiences through the senses. And, these three: body, mind (conscious), and free will are always dependent with each others in reciprocal manners.

Success is measured by the degree of accomplishment or satisfaction with reference to the end itself. The end is the objective as fixed by the free will, and success is the level of accomplishment or satisfaction achieved towards reaching the end. And achieving successfully an end in itself is tantamount to a new beginning.

Illustration 4: 

-          FEM’s highest level of accomplishment is 7.

Human Genome. Genetics is knowledge as old as the first creations. Prehistoric people used to improve their crops or livestock through selective breeding. In fact modern sciences are just re-grasping knowledge which were forgotten and lost in the courses of time as man trailed for higher level of learning.

The human body, like the DNA, is designed and formulated with the vital information necessary to perpetuate life. The principle in genetics is to map our individual genes, and in that way scientists will able to diagnose the very causes of our illnesses. This is deductive method, the exact opposite of inductive (planning), where the very basic is dissected and scrutinized to come up into a generalization.

Our body is the summation of all the billions of genes perfectly fitted in their respective locations in our entire bodily systems.

Man’s conceptual spiritual structure (kabbalistic x-ray of FEM)

 NUMBERS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE

On this part, we well treat each number on its known significance, either good or not, and of its classification either a material or a spiritual number.

One. A spiritual number. In the beginning there was only one single entity moving in an unknown realm then created and fixed everything into places and enthused them into perpetual motions. This one single entity was God commencing the first move and giving concept to space and time. God is the Prime Spirit; the beginning of everything; a potential energy that came into motion; the onset or the inertia that initiated every movement in the cosmos. He is the alpha which is only one and from whence everything emanates.

Hence the first commandment declares, “I am the Lord thy God… Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exod. 20:2-3). “One” signifies sufficiency and supremacy which excludes all differences, for there is no second with which it can either harmonize or conflict. This is the number of primacy, of independence, of certainty, like a newly born mortal gracing the first light and breathing the first breath of life. It is the symbol of spirit and life - immortal, perfect, indefinite and ethereal. Spirit stands for wisdom which is the foremost on all man’s quest for knowledge – a prerequisite for spiritual perfection, as Matthew wrote: “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matt. 6:33).

And the fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness and faith. (Gal. 5:22-23). The spirit is the source of knowledge and understanding, it illumines the mind; strengthens faith; empowers the will; and reveals the mysteries of God.

Two. A material number. Two is the number of man or humanity. It is the symbol of man in direct communication with his known god. Man is the unification of the spirit and flesh – a dual entity merged into one unique being called a living soul. He is the first realization of the blue print which is the creation of the earthly kingdom of God. Man is given to marriage (Luke 20:34) thus [man] become like God knowing how to procreate his kind; for man is the representation of God (spirit) and woman is of nature (flesh).

Two denotes duality. This is the concept representing the two laws, the two dimensions, the two forms of life and the two kingdoms of God. From the first dimension there was the first law for the first creations in the first kingdom of God. Then, the second law operates upon the onset of the second dimension for the establishment of the second kingdom in the material world. Two means diversity in unity for each one is dependent from each others in a reciprocal way - the yang and yin, the inner and the outer.

God created man and woman then He put them inside the Garden. He also planted two important trees in the middle of the Garden. These trees are the two important stages in the lives of Adam and Eve – physical maturation which is represented by knowledge (material) and spiritual readiness which is represented by wisdom (spiritual). The purpose of which is to make man equipped for a wise judgment upon employing his willpower.

Number two also connotes: two poles of a magnet (positive and negative), two options (good and evil), two times (day and night), two sides (left and right), two signals (incoming and outgoing), two masters (God and mammon), two dimensions or duality of man (material and spiritual), two universal languages (of God and of nature), two kingdoms (heavenly and earthly), and two laws (divine and natural).

Three. Three is a spiritual number. Three stands for triangle. Triangle is the most durable shape possible, the only “perfect” figure which if all endpoints have hinges will never change its shape unless the sides themselves are bent.⁸⁴ Three is therefore the strongest of all numbers and thus the symbol of strength. Strength means power. Power is the effect or influence of a force or authority.

Number three represents: three spiral dimensions in sacred geometry (upper, middle and lower), three periods (past, present and future), three stages in life cycle (birth, maturation and death), three essences of man (body, soul and spirit), and the three great creations (universe, earth and man).

Four. A material number. This number stands for equality. Equality precedes balance. The essence of equality is without discrepancy and discrimination which means unconditional and without buts or ifs. Same goes when we speak of absoluteness or something that is firm or fixed which is unchangeable.

Number four is seen on the following verses: “And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.” (Rev. 7:1); “and four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.” (Dan. 7:3); and, “these great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.” (Dan. 7:17).

Five. A spiritual number. Number five represents the balancer, the equalizer, the mediator, the weighing scale, the umpire, the judge. Five means the midpoint, the center, the dividing line and the determining factor. This is the number that has the power to divide without prejudice and with exact proportions. It means balance of power, of material and spiritual essence, of knowledge between good and evil. It also means confusion and total adherence to double standards.

Balance is the equilibrium that gives symmetry and stability, like the wisdom of the spirit which gives man the power to decide and choose according to the choice of his will. However, given the will to choice doesn’t offer the wisest option because of the symmetrical weights opted by the will.

Five stands for man’s personality. This also represents the main concept, the essence, the gist, the substance, and the heart of the matter. Anything is an important concept of the essence because everything is God’s creations. Thus, everything exists in consonance with the grand plan giving essence to all creations’ existence. This means one exist because of the rests, and vice versa.

Six. Six is a material number. Six denotes human endeavor which is the subsidiary of wise judgment. This is the finality of choice and the inception of decision. Six means the effect, the result, or the consequence achieved from the judicious exercise of the will.

Hence, a wise judgment is one which draws verdict in favor of the rightful but against the undeserving; in adherence to the right side regardless of the consequences.

Lucifer followed his will so he was cast out.

Eve believed Lucifer and partook with the fruit so she was cast out.

Adam believed Eve and partook with the same so he was cast out.

Cain killed Abel so he hid himself.

Six implies generalization, conclusion or decision making, like causing to take effect a statute or order. Generalization is the act or process of summing up prior to conclusion; conclusion is the last step in a reasoning process; and, decision making is selecting the right option in accordance with the conclusion fixed with a confirmation. Hence, a wise action is the result of a deliberated free will.

God’s act of creation commenced and ended within the six-day creations.

Seven. Seven is a spiritual number. This number represents trials or tests, such as hardships, sickness, problems or tribulations. Man is suffering because of the seven mysteries within him (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and one mouth). Seven is one of the greatest mysteries man should be aware of, to have control of, and should utilize to the fullest.

However, because of man’s desire to satisfy his senses he goes beyond the limits forgetting the very purpose of his existence. He becomes vicious, selfish and greedy, with the insatiable desires to yearn for more than he supposed to have. The Great Buddha taught that man’s sufferings is due to his selfish desires, and these desires are primarily manifested through the five senses. Hence, controlling one’s senses means suppressing one’s desires, and by suppressing one’s selfish desires one can end his sufferings.

The Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples to deny themselves, bear their own cross and follow Him. (Luke 9:23). Seven is the number designated to Lord Jesus Christ.

The Earth is the seventh planet starting from Pluto7 counting inward. There are seven days creation period, seven days in a week, seven loaves blessed by Jesus, seven churches in Asia, seven seals, seven stars, seven candlesticks, and seven spirits of God.

Number seven is also very significant in the observance of Pentecost and Jubilee periods, respectively. “For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the Lord.” (Lev. 25:3-4). “You are also to count off seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years. You shall then sound a ram's horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.” (Lev. 25:8-10).

Eight. Eight is a material number. This number represents reward, honor, glory, achievement, victory, triumph, accomplishment and intelligence.

Eight (8) is a deformed zero (0). Deformity is the end result of pressure. Pressure means trial or test. And trial or test precedes success.

In the stages of man’s life; this is the juncture of the journey leading to the next stage. It says that “success is not ending the task but merely laying the foundations for more tasks ahead” of the road.

Nine. Nine is a spiritual number. This is the highest number and therefore it represents the peak, the height, the acme, the climax, the ending or the fulfillment.

Nature requires man nine months in the womb of his mother to develop. Hence, nine month is the fulfillment or the climax of the long wait before man can finally be born. Nine means hope and optimism; the onset for the next voyage.

OUR EGO

Anti-Self? In 1928, a young physicist named Paul Dirac presented his mathematical equation and through this he proposed the existence of antimatter. What is antimatter? This is something hard to explain because I myself not a physicist. But let me explain to you this way. Assuming that you are working with dough and you want to make star-shaped pan cake. Take a shaper, stamp unto the flattened dough, carefully remove the shape and see what you got? A star. But hey! There is another star left in the dough. Although it is just a hole, it is precisely of the same shape of the one you just taken. It is the exact opposite of the star-shaped dough. It is invisible yet it does exist. This is how we describe antimatter, the same way we describe our inner self.

Your name can be Juan dela Cruz Del Mundo. But your complete name is not really who you are. It is not even your eternal name but just the thin curtain to your real inner self and identity. One author said, “Your name is not a coincidence”. Yes! It’s true. Our names bear the apparent casual connection to our inner self. And this is one of the purposes of this reading material, to let one know how to recognize and get familiar with his inner self as his closest spiritual partner and establish a symbiotic relationship with it. We have to consider that our existence is a blending of physical and non-physical selves. The essence of our physical self (body) is our soul, and the essence of our non-physical self (conscious) is our spirit, and the most difficult to recognize amongst the two is our non-physical self. Hence it is crucial to eliminate this thin curtain blocking our communications with our other self and be acquainted with it. In so doing, we have to at least give a name to our inner self.

What’s in your name? We seldom find people with exact complete names and most of the times these people of the same names belong to the same family lineage. This also explains the similarities in their characters or personalities because their inner selves are closely related with one another. Hence, your known name bears connection to your personality and carries with it an outline of your inner identity.

So, when you say “I” you are not actually referring to your physical self but your inner self speaking in behalf of your physical self. Think about it again and again. Now, who’s doing the thinking? It’s your inner self. Normally, one can just deny the existence of spirit simply because it is invisible and intangible. There is a saying that “to see is to believe”. Hence, it is hard to prove the existence of something purely conceptual and immaterial, like our spirit, without anything tangible to support such claim. However, this statement is no longer accepted.

In Western philosophical tradition, skeptics maintain that human being can never arrive at any kind of certain knowledge thus cannot held for the absolute truth; that even man’s existence is to be doubted and cannot be held as certain. But this same doubt produced the man who instituted the proposition ending the doubt on his very existence. This man was Rene Descartes.

There are biblical passages telling that our physical self is just the temporal abode of our spirit and thus it is mortal. When judgment comes it will be the spirit who will receive verdict and not the body. But definitely, the same thinking the former physical Juan dela Cruz Del Mundo has had will be of the same thinking his spirit self has. This explains that whatever or anything the physical self did adds record unto his non-physical or inner self (consciousness), and all these will surely be there permanently recorded in his individual’s akashic profiles.

On the examples provided (see Illustration 1), always keep in mind that in our present days there are already hundreds of people with the same name or names, such as Adam or Eve, or even Jesus Christ. And mind you, these names bear similarities in characters not by the same spirits but commonalities in their behaviors. This same concept can be applied to fruits such as apple or mango. Regardless of the variety, an a-p-p-l-e always tastes like an apple and a m-a-n-g-o always taste like a mango, and the taste of the apple will not be like that of the mango.

Again, what’s in a name? Have you ever heard an Islam follower with the name Christ, Cris, Peter or Paul? And what’s your usual connotation if a person’s name is Mohammad? Usually, these converts to the fold of Islam customarily changed their names in accordance to the identity of their prophet Mohammad. Hence, a similarity even just by names is established.

How can we know then our inner selves? Write your name in a piece of paper and find it by yourselves (see Illustration 2). Just follow the corresponding sequence for each letter in the correct spelling of your given (first) name and your last (family) name according to the illustration provided. You can have a maximum of at least six choices. Remember to put period (.) after each initial. This mark bears a very high spiritual significance.

Dual Personality. Finding one’s inner self is just the first step. Meaning, you already have the options to baptize your ego with a name or initials of your choice. However, in the principle of a good friendship or mutual relationship, acquaintance or knowing closely each other’s is the most important. Your ego initials, like your common material name, bears characteristics or personality you must also be familiarized with. And the best way to find the compatible identity is to look back into your first personality (see Illustration 3). "Often, when you put two people together, what happens is an emerging property of these two specific people," says Simpson, a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota.⁸⁵

Don’t be confused with the psychological term “dual personality” or dissociative identity disorder (DID) with our definition of the quoted term because the method we are applying here is not limited to the scientific methodologies but also of the esoteric ways. There is dual personality if a single person displays two distinct personalities or identities (called alter ego), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.⁸⁶ However, we will not treat here dual personality as a “dissociative identity disorder” but merely a mismatch of the first and the second personalities in one physical entity. There is a common folk belief that a child’s name, who is sickly and always showing a sign of weak physique, must be changed with a new one – to be re-baptized or be given an alias that will match with his ego initials.

Dual personality is not a mental disorder but simply the presence of two or more alter egos (spirits) competing together in one single body and each one gains dominance over the others from time to time.

Another interesting thing to consider concerning dual personality is the theory about Down syndrome (DS). Again, I am not an expert in the field of psychology so my terminologist here will be short of expressions as that of those professionals in the field. However, I am pretty sure that my understanding will not totally deviate from the psychologist points of view but rather a further elaboration of their scientific researches.

“Scientists believe they have disproved a 30-year-old notion of what causes Down's syndrome.” It was previously conceived that the cause of DS is the extra copy of one chromosome inherited giving a person three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. This extra copy of chromosome 21 delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically. However, recent research on DS suggests that the cause was much more complicated. They believe Down's syndrome arises from an interplay of complex genetic and developmental factors.⁸⁷

DS is a disparity between the conditions of the physical self with the conditions of the individual’s inner self. In this case, the inner self or the spirit has a higher level of intelligence of which the brain (consciousness) cannot take as a program (term uses in computer). In this situation, the physical self (computer) refuses to recognize the inner self (program) thus the former looses the power of wisdom (it cannot recognize the program). And so, I have this conception that those Mongoloids – persons with Down syndrome – have a higher IQ above normal persons. This explains why they can create their own worlds normal individuals cannot do, and the level of their awareness is much closer to the unconscious than to the conscious realm, thus we call them “abnormal” persons.

To match with your compatible ego, follow the example in Illustration 3. This is tuning your physical self to the subtle level of your inner self. You have so many options and you have to select which personality you wanted to prevail most of the times. Your options range from 1 to 9.  

COMPARATIVE APPROACH

Number Three.

The three magi (wise men) who visited the baby Jesus Christ - Mechior, Caspar, Balthasar compared to the three Americans who visited Ruben Ecleo in the island of Cabilan in 1952 when he was 17 - Dr. Hugh Tovar, Capt. Caple Jurry and Mr. Domme.

The three big persons who also visited Ruben in 1986 - Prince Arnaldo Petrucci, Prince of Vacona and Sienna, Grand Magistery of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, now the Sovereign Order of Reformed Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta; Mr. Tamaki Sasaki, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Knights of Malta; and, Mr. Arturo Villanculo, Knight of Malta of the Republic of Vanuatu, Australia.

The three personalities who conferred Ruben Ecleo the “royal magistery” - Prince Arnaldo Petrucci, Prince of Vacona and Sienna decorated him the “royal sash” of his majesty; Mr. Denrico Sankelpark of Korea crowned him the “royal crown” of their (South Korean) long gone royal family; and (now) waiting for the last person to handle him the “royal scepter”.

Three men hanging on the crosses (Calvary): Jesus Christ, Dimas and Hestas compared to the three colors of the Philippine flag: white (Jesus Christ), blue (Dimas) and Red (Hestas); or to the three big islands (stars) of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Three martyr priests: Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora.

Number Four.

The four angels standing on the four corners of the world holding the four winds (Rev. 7:1) compared to the Members Four Corners of the World (Divine Master Ruben Ecleo, Dr. Hugh Tovar, Capt. Caple Jurry, Gen. Andriano dela Concepcion).

Correlations:   Fernando Magallanes (Ferdinand Magellan) who re-discovered the Philippines compared to Ferdinand Marcos who re-directed the Philippines through his program The New Society (Ang Bagong Lipunan).

GOD is not a name but the highest title attributed to The One; also called the Almighty Father, the Divine Creator, the Alpha and Omega. In the ancient days ancient people assigned letters to represent His known names, like JHVH (Jehovah) and YHWH (Yahweh).

GOD is a title of authority, the holder of power, the administrator of the grand plan of both material and spiritual worlds.

GOD (Government Of Dinagat) – the administrator of the material grand plan in the entire province of Dinagat Islands.

Dinagat Islands became a province separate from Surigao del Norte on December 2, 2006 through Republic Act No. 9355 of the Charter of the Province of Dinagat Islands.⁸⁸

The province is blessed with ample mineral deposits which are potential for mining development. These include large tonnage of nickel-cobalt bearing ferruginous laterite, chromite deposits with occurrences of lumpy and sandy ores of metallurgical and chemical grade (50,000 to 500,000 tons), gold deposits with appreciable amount of silver as by product, primary manganese deposits in siliceous zones, occurrences of black sand mainly magnetite, ferruginous laterites with more than 40% Fe and Ferruginous bauxite (Al2 O3) deposits, silica sand deposits, occurrences of carbonaceous shales and coal, guano deposits confined to limestone caves, clays for bricks and tiles, sand and gravel of igneous rocks deposits.⁸⁹

A large deposit of gold has been explored in the Provinces of Surigao and probably one of the largest deposits in the world.⁹⁰
