The Mysticism of the Number 9

This article caught my attention for the very reason that the number nine is regarded as highly auspicious and very common in the practice of Feng Shui.  But no one really knows why.  Most Feng Shui practitioners I know have phone numbers whose digits add up to the nimber 9.  Not surprising.   When there is an energy exchange for Feng Shui services, the fee received will always be in increments of 9.  There are many uses for the measurement of 9 in Feng Shui.  Nine is sublime, soothing, balancing.  After all, didn't the Beatles give us a hint about this many years ago, again proving themselves tuned into esoteric perspectives?  Here is an in-depth explanation of the power and mysticism of the Number 9. -S.C.-

The Number 9:  The Cosmic Servant and Master of Heaven and Earth

By Jelle U. Hielkema

In the Kabbalah letter-number conversion scheme of the Ancient Chaldeans the number 9 does not ‘figure’ in connection to the alphabet. However, the ultimate number ‘9’, proposed to be called ‘The Force’ has very special and unselfish characteristics by the fact that when the number 9 is added to another number, it does not change the basic nature of the original number. For example if 9 is added to the number 14 (1+4=5) we get 23 and 2+3 = 5 again.  The number ‘216’(=6x6x6) which adds up to ‘9’ was in antiquity considered the Number of Creation. Furthermore, the number nine shows up everywhere in the workings of the Universe which may be exemplified by the following, not necessarily exhaustive, examples:

0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45 and 4+5= 9

9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 -1- 0 = – 27 and 2+7 =9

1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 = 362880 summed up = 27 = 9

 The great wheel of time, i.e. the time that it takes to complete one full astrological period, is said to last 2160 years, one twelfth of a Great Sidereal Year and 2+1+6+0 = 9.

The human gestation period is on the average 9 months

The human mean normal respiration rate is 18 times a minute and 1+8=9.

The mean normal heartbeat or pulse rate is 72 times a minute and 7+2 = 9.

The average number of heartbeats per hour is 4320 and 4+3+2+0 = 9.

In 24 hours, our heart beat on the average 103680 times and we have a 9 again.

In the same 24-hour period, respiration occurs an average of 25920 times, another 9 and exactly the same number of times as there are years in a Great Sidereal Year. The number 12.960.00 was the biggest, and sacred, number in the mathematical system of the Sumerians and it adds up to 9. The Earth rotates the Sun in 365.2425 days, the digits of which number add up to 27 = 9. The Moon rotates the Earth in 29.530593 days which adds up to 36 = 9. In this connection the Sumerian ‘Planet of the Gods’, Nibiru, which reportedly appears in our solar system every 3600 years with a ‘determining influence’ ‘produces’ another 9. The number 9 shows up in various ways in the movements of planets and represent the Mars vibration, implying aggression – penetration – Man. Its inverse, the number 6 represents the Venus vibration, implying love – compassionate passivity – Woman. When the number 6 is added to the number 9, the result is 15 and 1+5 = 6 and Conflict is destroyed and Love is victorious.

T

he first 9 terms of the key Fibonacci series, which describes the ‘workings’ of Nature, 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13, 21 adds up, all digits taken individually, to 27 = 9. The nautilus above is a beautiful example of the Fibonacci ‘mechanism’.

Another important ‘9’ in the system is the ever mysterious number Pi, in numbers an 8 and a 1 which adds up to 9. Moreover, both the first 4 digits of Pi, 3,141 add up to 9 as well as the first 9 digits 3,14159265 which add up to the number 36, the sum of which equals 9. In 2002, Pi, being an endless random repetition of the numbers 0-9, has now been calculated to 1.2411 trillion decimal digits, yielding another 9. Since January 2011 there is a new record at 5 trillion digits by a Japanese wizard!

Pi’s ‘colleague’ Phi, established by the Greek sculptor, painter and architect Phidias in the 5^th century B.C., is known as 1.6180339887, the most stable irrational number which adds up behind the decimal  -with a nice ‘33’ right in the middle-  to 54 = 9 while the entire fractal adds up to 55 = 1!

The International Second (IS) is defined as the number of vibrations, being 9131692770, which the caesium-133 atom makes per second. This large number starts with a 9 and all digits add up 45, a 9 again. The digits 6.02214129 of the ‘Avogadro Constant’ add up to 27 = 9.

Mention should be made here of the earlier described ‘27’, the ‘’Ouraborus’’, already spoke of by Plato and referred to in the literature by Sir Martin Rees in his extremely well-written and enlightening book ‘Just Six Numbers’ as the “emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece, represented with its tail in its mouth continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. It expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation”. Another highly interesting ‘9’ in this connection is that in the Ouraborus all matter in both the micro world and the macro cosmos can be found between the sizes of 10 to the power minus 20 and 10 to the power 25 and if we add 20 and 25 we get 45 and by adding these two digits a 9 again. And finally, the long term average year lasts 365, 2425 days which adds up to 27 = 9. Finally, the number 4.320.000.000, which adds up to 9 and also contains Pythagoras’ key number 4, 3 and 2 as forming the basis of Life, represents in Hindu mythology the period of the hermetic line of Time.

Below are some further examples of ‘9’ vibrations to further demonstrate the point of both its historical and actual significance:

‘PHILOSOPHER’ ‘PHILOSOPHY-PHYSICS’  ‘PROPORTIONS ‘ANTHROPOSOPHY’ ‘COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE’ ‘ANTHROPIC COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE’ ‘ELECTROMAGNETISM-GRAVITY-INERTIA-QUANTUM MECHANICS’ ‘MARIA’ ‘INRI’ ‘IHS’ ‘PRINCIPLES OF HEAVEN’ ‘SIX’ ‘72’ ‘144’ ‘216’ ‘YIN AND YANG’  ‘CHI’  ‘I:CHING’  ‘IN LOVE’ ‘VIA APPIA’  ‘PI’  ‘A CIRCLE’ ‘ADD’ ‘A KEY’ ‘E.T.’ ‘JOY’ ‘OK’ ‘BIG BEN’ ‘SUN-MERCURY-VENUS-EARTH-MARS-JUPITER-SATURN-URANUS-NEPTUNE’ ‘ALL MATTER’  ‘MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY-FRIDAY-SATURDAY-SUNDAY’ ‘NUMBERS GODS OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM’  ‘SUPERCOMPUTER’ and ‘GOOD HORSE SENSE IS JUST STABLE THINKING’  ‘RAIN’, the age-old universally valid and timeless three-word expression ‘I LOVE YOU’ and the simple word ‘YES’ ‘UNCONVENTIONAL’ ‘SPONTANEOUS’, the simple question ‘IS IT?’ and its confirmation ‘IT IS’ and ‘RNA-DNA’ ‘CONSCIOUSNESS’ ‘NEUROLOGICAL EVOLUTION’ ‘ACID’ ‘PHOSPHORUS’ ‘PHOSPHENES’ ‘ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM’ ‘ELECTRODYNAMIC THEORY’  ‘ELECTROCHEMICAL’ ‘NEUROTRANSMITTERS’   ‘FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL OF DESCRIPTION’ ‘A PURPOSEFUL UNIVERSE’ ‘EVOLUTIONARY UNIVERSE’ ‘MULTIDIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE’  ‘TRANSDIMENSIONAL’  ‘PRINCIPLE OF LEAST TIME’ ‘A HUMAN CONSTITUTION’ as well as ‘A BETTER WORLD’ ‘A REALITY’ ‘A HEART’ ‘A LIFE’  ‘WONDERFUL LIFE’  ‘CV’  and ‘THE MORE WE CHANGE, THE MORE WE STAY THE SAME’  ‘WHEN HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE UNITED’ and…..’MILLENNIUM ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR’ and…..’HISTORY DOES NOT PREDICT BUT IT DOES HINT’  ‘CHANGE ONE CAN BELIEVE IN’ ‘UNDERSTANDING OF…’ and….’THAT WHICH DOESN’T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER’ and ‘MULTICULTURALISM’  ‘RENEWING PYTHAGORAS FOR OUR COMMON GLOBAL FUTURE’ ‘GIVE ME AGRICULTURE AND I WILL GIVE YOU CIVILIZATION’ and ‘KNOWING IS ONE THING  BUT UNDERSTANDING QUITE AN OTHER’  ‘ENLIGHTENMENT’ and…’EVERYTHING IS IN A NAME’   and………’A GOOD TIME’!!!

The number 9 combined with its compound number ‘27’ is an extremely powerful, however benevolent vibration, called ‘The Sceptre’. The Ancients describe this Mars vibration as an excellent, harmonious and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labours, the intellect and the imagination. Below you will find a number of telling examples of this vibration from which one will be able to get a feel for the power and benevolence of the 9/27:

‘ALL LIFE IS ONE’ ‘HUMAN PROTEOME’  ‘COSMOS’ ‘HEAVEN’ ‘HEAVEN AND EARTH’ ‘THE DIVINE PRESENCE’ ‘FIRST PRINCIPLE’ ‘SELF-ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE’ ‘LIGHT WITHOUT END’ ‘THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT’ ‘LIGHT EXPLAINS ALL’  ‘FINITE-INFINITE’  ‘LANGUAGE IS A MATTER OF MIND’  ‘HEART-MIND-WILL-SPIRIT’  ‘KEEPER OF TRUTH’ ‘GENETIC CODE’  TWENTY LETTER PROTEIN CODE’  ‘THE MUSIC OF LIFE’  ‘METAPHYSICAL UNIVERSE’ ‘MENTAL IMAGE’ ‘ATOMIC SCIENCE’  ‘CELESTIAL MATHEMATICS’ ‘THE UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR’ ‘THE QUANTUM GEOMETRY’  ‘BEAUTIFUL’ ’FULL OF BEAUTY’ and…..’SUNFLOWER’!

Say no more, listen to and enjoy the music of the silence!
