Beke Thu, 13 Jul 2006 09:09:50 +0000 http://malcolmpollack.com/2006/07/08/dig-we-must/#comment-16407 Thanks, Malcolm, for your very perceptive comments on "Digging Up The Dog." As far as the Stations of the Cross... Originally, they were twelve in number, echoing the Twelve Labors of Hercules. But as the Church did not wish to be seen copying the pagan Greeks, this was soon changed to Fourteen, the present number. This was indeed unfortunate, as it lost the esoteric meaning encoded there. The numbers 7 and 12 are intimately intertwined, as seen in the musical Circle of Fifths, where seven Octaves are equal to Twelve Fifths (with a slight remainder - the Comma of Pythagoras). It was our discussion of this important musical relationship, a good while back, that sparked the realization that the Days of the Week in fact encode the spiraling helix of the planetary Harmony of the Spheres (as attested to by Cassius Dio). And then of course, there's the enigmatic Sphinx, which encodes a universal teaching that reaches back to Ezekiel, to Babylon and Egypt, and reaches forward to Freud and Jung. What are we digging for, anyway? GLB Thanks, Malcolm, for your very perceptive comments on “Digging Up The Dog.”
