Topic: Some questions about numbers

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone had a good source on numbers...what certain numbers mean, particularly if they represent themselves in dreams. I have a very limited understanding (at least within this particularly location of my assemblage point) of these things, yet they show themselves once in a while in dreams.
In this dream, I was talking to the captain of a space ship. He seemed like a jolly good fellow, and I left with a good feeling in my heart. When I used the elevator however to leave, the only button to hit was this: "33 - 11".
I understand these are both "Master Builder" numbers in numerology, but I'm wondering if they have any particular significance while dreaming...or are they just numbers I vaguely am familiar with, popping up just to say "Hey lad, you're dreaming! Wake up!"

Re: Some questions about numbers

11 is big in thelema, 11th letter of hebrew alphabet is caph, value 20, attributed to the Chariot (spaceship?) in tarot.

also by numerical equivalence (i'll spare you the original hebrew words where possible):

ahah (phonetic), aud (spiritual fire), where, when, gold, proud, to conceal, to attack, circularity of motion.
(source: liber 500... source is by no means complete)

33 in the same reference book gives:

sorrow, spring/fountain, bela king of edom.

of course 11 trine is 33; 33-11=22 (tarot trumps, etc). 33+11=44= blood, aquarius, captive, and many other things by gematria; there was some talk somewhere of an 11 sign zodiac (minus libra); ah... i need food and sleep before  trying to think of other stuff.

hope i get it in before the vacation time wink

Awesome Themis. Literally, when in the dream I was shown "33 - 11" it meant 22. So possibly, 22 is my state in this trinity of numbers? Instead of just showing me "what my number is", the dream left me to fill in the blank. Thanks alot for your insight, Zejith...you were exactly the person I had in mind.

Re: Some questions about numbers

Hey MM, I will add this only because I figured something out that relates in the meantime since you started the thread, and it involves "my" numbers of 1, 3, and 7.

I was at work and had my notebook handy.  At the time I was attempting to explain what I understood of numerology and the laws of 1, 3, and 7 to an interested co-worker.  I had a minor epiphany while writing out some number patterns.  Here goes...

3+7=10, 10+1=11

3x7=21, 21+1=22

11+22=33

So, the sum and product, respectively, of 3 and 7 with a 1 added for good measure wink equal the component numbers of 33. 

Something else interesting about the second example is that Ra mentions that the major arcana of the tarot is made of 21 (7x3) archetypes of 3rd density, 7 each representing mind, body, and soul.  The 22nd card is considered to be the "choice" card that represents the culmination of the archetypes as a choice of polarity between the paths of STS and STO (moving into 4D).

Re: Some questions about numbers

Whoa that's amazing Poffo. That's pretty cool that you found that out with "your" numbers. You become those archetypes by infusing it with the power of One?
That's interesting with "22" representing the choice of polarity as we're moving into 4D; it makes alot of sense, and something everyone will need to choose at some point. Anyways, peace out.

In traditional tarot the 11th Major Arcana is Justice (the Balance) associated with Libra. Crowley changed card 11 to his interpretation of the Strength card (previously #8) and called it "Lust" supposedly coming from the Egyptian concept of Lustre, or rubbing up against life's hard surfaces to bring out the inner gleam. That's what the Jungian book on the Thoth deck says. But I think he intended for it to mean something much darker. The Chariot is associated with #7, also sometimes called victory, and card 20 is Judgment-lala

don't judge a book by its name
