01:19:20 - My Top 10 "SynchroMystical Numerals"

In this video, I unpack some of the "basics" of the esoteric discipline now known as "numerology," or the reflection upon the significance and symbolism of numbers, starting from the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, proceeding through the Jewish mystical Kabbalah, its offshoot "Christian Cabala," Renaissance Hermetic-Neoplatonism, and on into more contemporary streams of occultism.

This is based on my raw notes, and gets into such people as Pythagoras, Abraham Abulafia, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Francesco Giorgi, Mrs. L. Dow Balliett, Julia Seton, and more!

Along the way, we mention ciphers and espionage, the Baconian hypothesis of Shakespearean authorship, and other sidelights. And we also take a few detours into Freemasonry -- e.g., the mysterious origins of the "Scottish Rite" -- the notion of architecture as the "queen of the sciences," and the post-Enlightenment "scientific method" (and a few of its critics).

Additionally, we sketch the fundaments of "Pythagorean Numerology" or what Balliett called "Numeric Resonances," with special attention to the numerals one to nine (1-9), but also touching on zero (0), ten (10), eleven (11), twelve (12) and thirteen (13), as well as a brief mention of the supercharged "number of the beast," "666" (or, in early biblical manuscripts, "616").

Finally, I provide my own rough top-ten list of SynchroMystical numbers, including: 22, 23, 24, 32, 33, 36, 40, 42, 47, and 72.
