and Meryl Ann, I wore the number "13," as a point guard ...

... as a speedy point guard on my High School Basketball team(*Never was able to finish the "traditional" 4 year high school though, due to my now lifelong mental illness conditions, etcetera), I wore the number "13," in 1976 AD, in perhaps the last truly "happy" year of my life.

 But also, regarding "numerology" or whatever it actually is, that you are describing herein, Meryl Ann, I can't seem to at all "escape,"(* as a logical, TRUTH-SEEKING, True AMERICAN CITIZEN), ... the Date and/or NUMBER "9/ 11," and the S$omehow allowed for HOURS$$$$, ... 9/11 ATTACKS$, I see the numbers "9-11" come up, at the most DEEPLY-telling moments and times in my and our current "Nation's$" Life, for its people, its, MY FELLOW CITIZENS and You are ALL, not at ALL, mere "Citizens$" mere "Cinsumers$" before your Corporatis$t and WArS$-Disas$ter PROFITEERS$ "Masters$," like GW BUS$H, John McCain, Senator Hillary CLINTON, and s$adly but apparently also "Americans$" US "S$Enator" to s$oon be "elected" "KING," Barack Obama, ... etcetera.

 I was just recording an audio only tape,  with the TIMED numbers "09:11" coming up, etcetera, of the POWERFUL OPENING of the 2nd version, believe it is, Meryl Ann, of the Documentary, "LOOSE CHANGE," about thos$e same, allowed for Hours$ 9/11 ATTACKS$$$$$, with the BEAUTIFUL, and YES FEMALE Figure, HEROICALLY-STANDING, FEMALE Figure, of the STATUE OF LIBERTY, set against the NY CITY Skyline and Harbor, with the TWO World Trade Center Towers, STILL STANDING, as$ they S$HOULD S$TILL BE STANDING, TODAY,    ... had "Commnder Guy," GW BUS$H, heeded, AT ALL, the Countless, DIRE AND SPECIFIC WARNINGS re: the TARGETED sites$$$$$, such as the WTC, and The Pentagon, from the Outgoing Clinton Administration, AND His Own Intelligence agancies$ Warnings, and the COUNTLESS warning of the ONCOMING ATTACKS$ of 9/11/2001 AD, for monthes$ and MONTHES$ before, ... that horribly DREADFUL DATE!

 (GW BUS$H merely stayed on Vacation, longer, during this August-September time period, spending Sept. 10th and MUCH of the MORNING Of September 11th, escorted along in FLORIDA by the Gov. of Florida, Jeb BUS$H, etcetera(His Plane, Air Force One, did NOT actually lift off from Sarasota Brandenton Airport, until 9:58 AM, the time of the FIRST WTC Tower's IMPLO$SIONARY Collaps$E, thus$ly thous$ands of GW Bus$h's fellow AMERICANS were Burned alive, crushed, fell or leapt to their deaths, or were DIS$INTIGRATED, whils$T GW further enjoyed his PHOTO OPS$ S$esion, etcetera, at thatKids School house, at that[in a real and LOGICAL World!] LOGICAL TARGET for Al Queda, where he, GW Bush was, for 40 minutes or MORE, AFTER he heard of the 2nd plane's$ impacting the 2nt wtc tower, at 9:03 AM!?!?)

 But since that Most HORRIFIC Date, September 11th, 2001 AD, those numbers, "9," and "11," appear everywhere, and at my darkest, and deepest, and perhaps, most "thoughtful" moments[albeit I am a manic-Depressive agoraphobic etcetera, now with numerous Schizophrenic SymptomS!], Meryl Ann.

 (* I don't know if it at all relates to your conceptS about the Number "13," and America's Founding, etcetera, but the numbers "9 and 11," well so many of my fellow Americans and others, ALSO DO feel quite haunted by those numbers,  and es$$$pecially by, ... that damned and S$omehow" allowed DATE, of thos$e DAMNED and DAMNABLE, and DEMONIC, PRO-WAR and TERRORIS$M PROFITEERS$ Dream$$$, of those attacks$$!)

 Take Care Meryl Ann, and all others, and "Happy"[Yeah, right, oh, S$ure!] "Independence Day," Happy Fourth, to all.(*If you have younger kids or your KIDS of any age are with you, on this Fourth, p[lease Promise me that you'll go play WIFFLE BALL, with THEM, as IT IS indeed, THEIR Future, and THEIR Kids, and THEN THEIR Grandkids FUTURE for Today's$ "America, INCORPORATED," that I want us ALL, to pleas$e THINK, Long and CRITICALLY, and YES$$, to THINK even COMPASSIONATELY, about THEIR FUTURE!).

Patterns and Numbers

The pattern of numbers do seem to have meaning, although it is not always easy to figure the meaning out until much later, hindsight being 20/20! Many people have been entranced by seeing the number 11:11 since 1991, with its various meanings. And 9-11, the number for an emergency call, certainly has doubly engaging significance since the events of that day. On a cosmic level, I wonder if it is an emergency call to the universe to save our souls. The 9-11 number now certainly seems to be related to the breaking down of structure, which is what happens before a rebirth. So, while there are many levels of meaning in events such as this, for me, I "read" the "story" of the archetypes, as if the reality is a dream. (And who is really to say what is reality, and what is dream, after all?) If 9-11 had been my dream, my interpretation would revolve around something old dying and being broken up, and the potential for something new rising, like a phoenix, from the ashes. (Scorpio, which many, including myself, believe to be the rising sign for the natal chart of the US, is represented by both the eagle AND the phoenix!)

And you are in good company with your jersey - Wilt Chamberlain wore the number 13 -  on thirteen different teams! 

 I hope you do find some joy in this "Happy Fourth" ... even in the darkest hours, it only takes one tiny candle to dispel the darkness. But the power of darkness is impotent in a room filled with light. And therein lies the mystery of the power of each one of us to make a difference.

Heal the War-nuts thru Female Leadership

Your point is well taken:

In viewing the competitive, hierarchical, technological and war-focused direction of America, the imbalances caused by the zealous glorification of masculine attributes are apparent.

The founder and president of The White House Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing women's leadership and fostering the entry of women into all positions of leadership, including the presidency, Marie C. Wilson, related:

I often hear people say that the lack of women in positions of political leadership is an issue that pales next to world crises-global terrorism, fragile economies, inadequate health care, troubled schools, corporate greed.

They see no connection between the frightening situations we're in and the fact that few women sit at the table to determine the solutions. No wonder we're where we are today.

This fundamental imbalance, with men running the world and women mostly spectators (or victims), is not a trivial detail. 

It is the problem.

Yes!  the return of the Feminine!  What else need be said?!

But wait. There's more to the # 13

The 13th Key in the Major Arcana of the Sacred Tarot -- as Freemansons, Cabalistic Jews, and Qabalists know -- symbolizes spiritual rebirth and the "death" of patriarchal egotism.

Here's an article that speaks to that, and it shows the evolution of Key 13 from 1910 to 1969, and it even shows how it is actually symbolic prophecy. You may enjoy it.

Death, Scorpio, Eagle, and Phoenix

Thanks, Ruth, that was a great article! I originally had some Tarot info in my article, but it got cut due to length. Maybe it's time to do a book on this!

The relationship between the 13 colonies, and, as you mention,  the 13th card in the major arcana - which is associated with Scorpio, the eagle and phoenix -give added weight to the choice of the Scorpio rising natal chart for the US, which feels like the right one to me. Of course there is discussion about this ...and no way to really "prove" it as fas as I know, other than to go on intuition. Thanks for the link!

UNFORTUNATELY, OR NOT COINCIDENTALLY WE GET

Thatcher, Rice, Grindel Pelosi , et al.

Cindy Sheehan and Cynthia Mc Kinney are left out of the discussion. Naomis

Wolf, and Klein and Sibel Edmonds are our hope. But how many men will

give up their idiotic macho narcissism to vote for these patriots?

American Revolution

The American revolution, like the French Revolution was an Illuminati movement.  Most of our founding fathers were Masons (50 of 56), and some like Jefferson were Illuminati.  Jefferson helped infiltrate the Illuminati into the Scottish Rite Mason lodges in New England.  Masonic symbolism can be seen everywhere in Washington DC and our currency.  Albert Pike of the Scottish Rite who gave us the KKK and predicted 3 world wars would be necessary to complete the NWO still has his statue up in DC.

People believe we won the war with the British, yet the King simply granted us commonwealth status, we are merely a crypto-commonwealth nation that serves the Queen.   The Treaty of Paris in 1783 proves that. 

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/britain/paris.htm

 Lincoln won the new revolution and paid for it with his life with his Civil War victory, which was organized by the French and British.  But they got us back again under Wilson and the establishment of the Fed. 

 Anyways, the purpose of the Illuminati is the destruction of nations and religion, the objective being One World Government and Global Communism as envisioned by Marx, the latter evolving in the 19th century. Americas constitution ensured religion would be separated from state, and our government would be a secular religion, with both the freedom of religion and the freedom from a religion.  A small but necessary step.  Oh yeah, women were not considered equal by our founding fathers, remember, they could not vote.  Also, they did not give us a Democracy.

The womens suffrage movement in the early 20th century was also Illuminati inspired,  as they recognized giving women the right to vote would increase a class of voter that was largely uneducated at the time and whose vote could easily be obtained by the Democrats who  were controlled by the Illuminati (the Republicans would not be controlled until after WW II). 

The Rockefellers and Rothschilds then created Feminism in the 60's to weaken the family and poison male-female relations (divide and conquer.) in the developed world. Their twin objectives were depopulation and  totalitarian world government.  Today, Europe and America populations are negative without immigration from the overpopulated  3rd world and developing world.   Fertility rates have been  below replacement level for the last 35 years.
 

Of course, the Dan Brown slant leads one to conclude the Illuminati will bring about the Return of the Feminine.   For those those who do not know, the Illuminatis roots go back over 2600 years in Babylon.   The Illuminati treat woman of royalty and the 13 ancient bloodlines as a genetic vessel to control the genetic purity of the Aryan race who are descended from the Fallen Angels.  

Before Christianity, women were treated very poorly indeed.   Thats why Christianity exploded and many of the most devout Christians are women Catholics in 3rd world nations.  Unfortunately, the Popes have been corrupted and do the Illuminati's bidding by outlawing contraception.  The smiling Pope was assasinated after 33 days in office in 1978 since he was going to reverse the ban.  This left women vulnerable to HIV was was being unleashed on the world, a byproduct of our War on Cancer.   The sex industry that exploit women and  children is controlled by the Illuminati.

Life for women under the Illuminati's NWO is likely to resemble that in Huxleys Brave New World.  Used as sex slaves, breeding factories and entertainment.

Oh, and BTW, the number, '13' is the occult number of Depravity though Rebellion .  The number 6 represents man, 7 represents God.  When man and God are one, the sum of the tow is 13.   Our elite rulers consider themselves to have attained this god like level of development.  The rest of us get the mark of the beast, which is that of man, 666,  and so will be treated according to our value.  As Stalin said, those who can not work, do not eat.

Re: The Return of the Feminine

Below is a link to a great, relevant article, which begins like this:

Women have historically and traditionally been treated as inferior by men, and have often been forced to be subservient to men. Of course, that is partly because most men were larger and stronger than most women, but during the passing age it has largely been because organized religions and religious sects have been invested with power by men, in the interests of men, and for the benefit of men. Thus even today most are patriarchal, and some even believe that God is a male entity.

The truth, however, is that God is not a man, nor a son of man, as even Moses wrote. Many following Hebrew prophets corroborated that, and the Christ Jesus confirmed it when he said "at no time has anyone seen God’s shape." When Jesus spoke of God’s "face" being seen "through" him, he was not talking literally about his own face, because the "face" of God is the Eternal Divine Light, which is shapeless and without form as we know it. The term "face of God" is a figure of speech, like the face of the deep or the face of the waters. And even though the Christian gospel writers may have stated that Jesus used the symbolic term "our father in heaven," it was to use a common frame of reference, for lack of any other understandable term.

God is our spiritual parent, but God has both male and female aspects. The "image" of God is not the image of a man. All human beings are made in God's image, and thus we are Children of Light. For God is the eternal, omnipresent Supreme Consciousness, the Divine Light-Energy-Source of our existence, the Essence of all life and form, and the primordial "Word" that was in the beginning and is made flesh in all of us.

Unfortunately, many religious people do not understand that. And, because of erroneous beliefs and patriarchal traditions, many men think they are superior to women, and even today some women in the world are still forced to serve as chattel. They are treated as if their only proper role is to be virginal daughters obedient to their fathers, then loyal wives and servants obedient to their husbands. Even in the modern Christian marriage ceremony the presiding church authority asks, "Who gives this woman..." It is a tradition that originally assumed that a daughter is a father's "property," to be given away or handed over to an approved would-be husband and master of the house.

Most men who uphold "fundamentalist" patriarchal religious traditions still cling to that idea, and some carry it to such extremes that their daughters and wives have very little freedom. Misguided Muslim "fundamentalists" are the worst in that regard, but some Christian fundamentalists are nearly as bad. They believe that the purpose of women is to fulfill only one duty, as wives to keep the house, bear and take care of children, feed their families, and treat their husband as a king.

Of course, a lot of men in the world would say there's nothing wrong with that. And, granted, there is nothing wrong with it IF it is the free choice of a woman, and IF she serves her husband and family out of genuine love and a pure sense of giving.

However, when a woman is forced to do it as a duty, either by cultural tradition or "religious" law or patriarchal dictate, and she is limited to it without freedom to develop her talents or follow her dreams, it is oppressive, inhibiting, and tyrannical. And it is simply wrong.

End quote

The article goes on to discuss how and why the women's liberation movement will be renewed to counteract the misguided doctrines of "fundamentalist" Christians, Jews and Muslims. It also discusses sex, denouncing sexual repression and revealing the cause of most sexual problems. And it also discusses the man-woman relationship.
