Numb and Number(s)
464 comments - Click for Blog
Hello friends! Welcome to my first blog. Hopefully it won't disappoint. There were quite a few "HOLY CRAP!" moments for me throughout the course of the following story...
Ah, numbers! Lovely numbers! Those wonderful little imaginary constructs of the human mind. What would we do without them? Well, we'd never have to worry about showing up late for work again... or accidentally TIVOing American Idol. But I digress. Anyways, it appears that as of late I (and other members of this blog) have been practically assaulted by certain numbers we keep seeing on news items, clocks, coffee makers, cell phones, dog collars, et al. The numbers that seem to favor myself are combinations of 1 and 4... particularly 144, 44 and multiples thereof. Now, I'm sure that most of you are familiar with the highly mystical number 144,000. Besides having important Biblical significance, this number also features prominently in New Age Movements, the Mayan Long Count calendar, etc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/144,000). But that's a whole 'nother blog. This number is, of course, a multiple of 144, which itself is the square of 12, another highly mystical number... Jesus' 12 disciples, 12 signs of the Zodiac, etc. Anyways, getting back to 144. It was around the time that I started to notice this number an inordinate amount of times in various places that BU posted the WingMakers info. In case you aren't familiar with the supposedly quasi-nonfictional backstory, apparently a couple of college kids stumbled across an extraterrestrial homing device near Chaco Canyon in New Mexico which led a top-secret ET investigation team to a vast underground chamber about 80 miles NE of this World Heritage site (http://wingmakers.com/neruda1.html). Now here's where things get really interesting: Just for shoots'n'googles, I Google Earthed approximately where this site would be, and guess where it landed me EXACTLY... 37 degrees North and 107 degrees West.
37 plus 107 equals... 144.
HOLY CRAP!
So anyways, just out of curiosity, I drew a little diagonal line through the aptly named Land of Enchantment from the nearest SW latitude/longitude combination totaling 144 to see where else this apparently magical combination of numbers might take me. Of course, you can do the same yourself in Google Earth, but here's my highlights of the tour:
Starting from N 36 W 108 and due NE along this imaginary line, you first run smack into the middle of the Chaco Canyon ruins, home of the ancient Anasazi (http://www.nps.gov/chcu/). That place is, again, a whole 'nother blog. Hell, that's a whole 'nother BOOK. Anyways, continue NE on this imaginary line and you run DIRECTLY through a lil' town called Nageezi (http://nageezi.nndes.org/). Don't know too much about this Navajo-populated area but I find it interesting that there's a town right there in the middle of nowhere on that lat/long combo. Cross Highway 44, (another number I've been mobbed by, which also just so happens to be the gematria value of my name... HOLY CRAP!) and about 20 miles N (OK, so this isn't QUITE on our little magic line, but it's close enough for government work, as they say), you will find the approximately 7,000-foot Angel Peak ( http://www.americansouthwest.net/new_mexico/angel_peak/nra.html). That lil' sacred mountain is chock-full of symbolism (and personal meaning for me), but, again, that's a whole 'nother blog. Continuing NE, you will come very close to the Project Gasbuggy nuke site (http://www.atomictourist.com/gasbug.htm), TWO reported Bigfoot sightings, the city of Dulce, a road named J44 (HOLY CRAP!) and the supposed Dulce Facility site (see "The Dulce Papers"... HOLY CRAP! http://www.crowdedskies.com/dulce_papers.htm). Continue a little further NE, and you will find an Encarnacion Canyon, then the area where the supposed Wingmakers underground site would be at N 37 and W 107, and, just NE of that, we'll end our little field trip at the Biblically-named Paul and Felix Springs (Paul and Felix just happen to feature prominently in an amazing little true-life story I had just read about involving sci-fi author and quasi-mystic Christian Philip K. Dick. http://deoxy.org/pkd_how2build.htm. Oh, and J, there's also a character named Jason involved... HOLY CRAP!) This area, if I'm not mistaken, falls under Jicarilla Apache territory. The Apache apparently have a lot of secrets... I believe Dubya's Skull & Bones comrades were after, or possibly in posession of, the famed Geronimo's remains...
Anyways, I guess the whole point of this blog is that this little imaginary line seems to run right through a veritable hotbed of supposed supernatural/paranormal sites, at least in New Mexico. I haven't had the time to check out any other lat/long combinations... I'll leave that to somebody else. But hopefully I've at least ignited your imagination regarding the apparently mystical power of numbers. The rest is up to you. Hope you enjoyed our little voyage, and I hope it has at least a semblance of meaning for you. I know it did for me, what with the amazing synchronicities I've been experiencing lately...
But then, that's a whole 'nother blog.
;)
