Each person in existence is more than themselves, more than they see and hear, with their eyes and ears. There is so much more to a person that the physical body lets on.
As the ancients of Zen say, your Body is merely clothing. You took on these garments when you were born. When you die, you will head back to the closet, kind of like "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".
Yet, if you are not your body, are you your spirit?
So, you think of it in terms of three parts. Its not a bad start. Yet, at this point, we must dig even further into the question of the meaning of existence, for only then will you be able to understand that what motivates a blade, or a warrior wielding it, is more important, and potent, than the weapon itself.
A human being is a manifestation of desires, of geometries, like an advanced "wave" pattern. A Human being is sacred, as is all life, yet there is something to the human apparatus that cannot be matched by other animals in the kingdom.
Animals were designed by man, as were the plants. Here then it becomes very difficult for a person to understand, yet there it is. The Socratic form of man is one that has scarcely been seen on the face of this earth, yet know that there is a reason.
to quote an evolutionist.. "(8 carpals in the wrist, 5 metacarpals in the palm, and 2-3-3-3-3 phalanges in the fingers make 27 bones per hand) "
now pay close attention, look at your fingers for a moment. *holds out his hand*
understanding these numbers is crucial. Many skeptics and pessimists like to say "If man was meant to fly, he would have been born with wings"
Let us use the most pessimistic philosophy then to proof the waters of this theory. "If man wasn't meant to know the meaning of these numbers he would NOT ahve been born WITH them"
3 bones in each of the fingers, save the thumb. 2 there, and then you get into the palm.
3+3+3+3+2 = 14.
2 is the 3rd number in the fibonacci sequence, and 3 is the 4th number.
5 bones in the palm.
5 is the fifth number in the fibonacci sequence.
8 bones in the wrist.
8 is the 6th number in the fibonacci sequence...
27 bones between the fingers, palm, and wrist.
3x3x3 = 27.
3 is the most universally compact number in existence. For example,
if you had 30 beeds, and could multiply them in pares, it would look something like this:
1 beed 30 times = 1^30 = 1
30 beeds 1 time =30^1 = 30
2 beeds 15 times = 32,768
3 beeds 10 times = 59,049
5 beeds 6 times = 15,625
6 beeds 5 times = 7,776
10 beeds 3 times = 1000
15 beeds 2 times = 225
Truly, three is there 3 times for a reason... The rest of your body is the same way. Every single layer of human existence is designed for a purpose, a literal blue print for something far beyond imagining...
Ok, so you have 14 bones in your fingers, but what does that represent?
Each bone represents a number, or scale, and the length of the bones likewise represents a "proportion" and that proportion, is the value of an octave, such as the keys on a piano.
each octave is actually a series of 7 notes which begin the second octave where the first one ended. Thus
1: do
2: re
3: mi
4: fa
5: so
6: la
7: ti
8: do
notice that 1 & 8 are the same. The only difference, is one is exactly TWICE has high pitch as the previous.
Meanwhile, these notes themselves, as the joints of your fingers vary, also represent the breakdown of the color wheel. I say wheel bacause it goes round and round.
the very next color after violet is red, as shown here...
and all that is just part of what the fingersof the hand represent...
now, as you recall, there are 14 bones, not 7. This is because they represent "7 up" and 7 down"
sort of like the serpent eating its tail, or the yin yang.
your DNA does the same thing.
what's really interestying about an octave is the fact that it represents x2.
within your hand rests, therefore, the potential of "x2" or "x1/2" since there are 14 bones.
The two hands themselves represent polarity, or "opposites" and a system of magnetic conflict. When the two forces are braught together, they create a sort of "matter antimatter" reaction, a development of tremendous forces. It becomes a bit difficult to go much further into it from here without some further grounding in the fundamental composition of the universe, so we will move on to the next chapter...
-but-
Ahh, perhaps the rest of this lesson will have to wait then. ^_^
to sum up,
1. the mathematics and powers necessary for the creation of the universe rest within a single physical body
2. the body is the shell of the spirit, the spirit is the shell of the Intelligence, or "Sentient Choice"
3. Between decision, merit, and judgement, or to say, between rewards, and penalties, are choices. That which rests beyond these choices is the source of the Higher Self.
4. when two opposite ideas or forces, such as love and hate, freedom and slavery, matter and antimatter, are mixed improperly, they result in a catechismic explosion shortly followed by a great Void of nothing. We call this "war".
And it is because of the forth point, that War exists. Understanding the true nature of War allows a person to not only minimize casualities, but to prevent war entirely. This, then, is the ultimate purpose of any Leader, and of any Warrior.
