The local Herald Sun media outlet (Used to be The Herald and The Sun newspapers, now they are one) reports that the recent quake in NZ has moved the boot 30cm closer to OZ.

The article opens with these two numerological sentences:

A MASSIVE 7.8 magnitude earthquake last week has moved the south of New Zealand closer to Australia, scientists said today.

With the countries separated by the 2250-km-wide Tasman Sea, the 30cm closing of the gap in New Zealand's southwest won't make much difference.

And the way I see it, is we have a 369 on our hands here.

The 30cm = 3.

7.8=7+8=15=1+5=6

2250=2+2=4+5=9

“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.”

9.  The wise one.  She's familiar with all of her numeral/digital ancestors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.  Yes, 9 is the youngest child, even though she looks like she's older, 1 came 1st!  While WE are at it, let's not discount 9's understanding of 0/zero/NOthing.  Pure and simple, 0, zero or O are represented as a circle.

6 is 9 flipped.  And 9 is 6 after it's given the order to about-face.  If 9 is a circle, 6 is its opposite or the anti-circle.  Just like the inverted crucifix is the symbol of the anti-christ.  Neither exists without the other.

In our collective wisdom - and our penchant for deconstruction -  we have divided this sacred circular glyph into 360 parts.  I play with numbers and have a habit of reducing strings of numbers down to single or double digits.  Using this method the number 121 can be broken down as such: 1+2=3+1=4.  121=4.

This method can be made even simpler as the following will show:
1+2+1=4

I observe master numbers.  11 is the first, though any double, triple or multiple occurence of the same numeral will not be reduced any further.  So there's no 13's or 23's, sorry.  However, 23 does equal 5 (2+3) and 13 makes 4 (1+3).  I am playing with them and I am happy with doing so.  My understanding grows as I continue to play.  Having said this, I'm pretty shit at mathematics.

I also take names/words using the same arithmetic described above while assigning numbers to the letters of the alphabet in accordance with the position in which they appear. In doing this I reduce names/words into single or double digit numbers.  My numerical interpretation of the alphabet looks like this:

A = 1
B =2
C = 3
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H =8
I = 9
J = 1(10 is reduced to 1 by dropping the zero)
K = 11(The 1st master #)
L = 3(The 12th letter becomes 3 via 1+2)
M = 4(1+3)
N = 5(1+4)
O = 6(1+5)
P = 7(1+6)
Q = 8(1+7)
R = 9(1+8)
S = 1(1+9=10 [drop the zero])
T = 2(Zero dropped again)
U =3(2+1)
V = 22(2nd Master)
W = 5(2+3)
X = 6(2+4)
Y = 7(2+5)
Z = 8(2+6)

I'm Stefan, or 125615.  1+2=3+5=8+6=(1+4)5+1=6+5=11.  Stefan-11!Enough with the alphabetical segue.

0 and O are circles and essentially the same symbol (What was that?  O, it was NOthing).  A circle is broken down into 360 degrees.  360° is 36 if you drop the 0's off where you found them and then 3 + 6 = 9.  360 = 9.

So what happens when you apply this treatment to a half circle?  180 = 9 when 0 is gone and 1 and 8 are added.  Half of 180 is 90.  Bail o off and you get another  9.  Halve 90° and you get 45°.  4 + 5 = 9.  Halve 45 and you get 22.5. 2+2=4+5=9.  22.5 ÷ 2 = 11.25.  1+1=2+2=4+5=9.  This pattern continues as long as you can stay interested in completing the process.

Multiples of 360 end up as 9 too.  360 x 360 = 129600.  Dropped 0's leaves 1296.  1+2=3+9=(1+2)3+6=9.  Shit.  129600 x 129600 = 16796160000!  Drop the 0's off at the pool and WE have 1679616.   1+6=7+7=(1+4)5+9=(1+4)5+6=(1+1)2+1=3+6=9.

WOW.

So circles equal 9!

Awesome!
