12 months because thats how many times the moon goes around the earth in the time it takes the earth to go around the sun one time.

Isn't that . . . interesting

Yes, but most importantly, did you notice that a dozen eggs are 12 to a carton? Hmm. What should we make of that?

No. No. It has no connection at all. That way there are so many things 12 in number. !2 is just a number in infinite numbers starting from 0 to infinity. Why should you think that because there are 12 months and there were 12 apostles, there is some connection.

You may not be knowing that till Augustus Caesar, the western people did not know that there were 12 months. From January to June, 6 months and then September(7th) (Saptam in Sanskrit), October(8th) (Ostama), November(9th) (Novama) and December(10th) (Dasama in Sanskrit) were only there; after Julius Caesar (July) and Augustus (August) added and inserted in that order. The West owes its Mathematics and Astronomy to India.

Even, till Gregory the Pope, Western people did not know that one year has 365 days 6 hours and few minutes. After Gregory knew from India, he corrected and refixed the date of birth of Jesus as 4 B.C. which sounds like a contradiction in terms - a fallacy of anachronism.

Actually, the moon goes around the earth 13 times in a "calendar" year. However, there were ten months in the calender prior to Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar of the Roman empire; Julius Caesar felt that he should, being descended of a goddess (Venus), have a month named after him, so we have July. Augustus Caesar, feeling that Julius his uncle was no better than he, felt he should as well, and so we have August. In the bargain, each of them took a day from February so that his month would have 31 days. This is why September, October, November and December are two numbers each off their numerical/named place in line (sept=7, oct=8, nove=9, dec=10).

No. You can say that for a lot of things.

There are 12 months to the calendar, there are 12 hours on a clock.

I got told there are no such things as coincidence, and Jesus has absolute perfect relevance to *time* in every way possible, not just a coincidence-he was chosen
I have done a lot of work relating to Christ having perfect relevance to *time*, wanna read more go to my msn site.

You tell me all I have written and illustrated is just coincidence

So yes, very interesting

Yeah that sure is. But Jesus didn't make the calender.

That is amazing. Now I will look at dozen donuts very differently.


The number twelve is symbolic of the creation of the universe as it represents the division or fractionating of unity (God) into twelve individual distinct vibrations or tones. This is most readily seen in music. If you take a string instrument, much in the same manor that Ptythagorus did with the monocord, you will find that there are exactly 12 notes or tones before the series repeats. All repeats or octaves are related to the original note or vibration by powers of 2. That is to say that if you take a note and double it’s vibration frequency or cut it in half you will manifest exactly the same note in a higher or lower octave respectively. The notes have been named: a, a-sharp, b, c, c-sharp, d, d-sharp, e, f, f-sharp, g, g-sharp in chromatic fashion. If I was trying to teach music, I would have included flats instead of making the notes all sharps but this is not important as the vibration or tone is the same. For example, c-flat is the same sound or note as b. Now that we know that there are twelve and only twelve notes we can start to see or imagine the process of creation as a fundamental division from unity into 12 unique qualities. These fundamental qualities can also vibrate at faster or slower frequencies through the powers of 2 or duality. This is similar in concept to water existing as a gas, liquid, or solid based upon temperature. “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless wasteland”. First, God said “Let there be light” and this created (1) “day” & (2) “night”. Then God created the (3) earth and the (4) Sea. (5) Let the earth bring forth vegetation, (6) Lights in the sky for signs and seasons. (7) Then he creates two great lights, the greater to govern the day, (8) the lesser to govern the night. (9) Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures. (10) Birds in the sky. (11) Let the earth bring forth-living creatures. (12) Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. In the book of Genesis, we learn that all the fundamentals of creation form as they become defined out of the formless abyss of totality. We learn that definitions are only possible from the division into polar opposites. For example, how can you define light without darkness, good without evil, male without female, water without earth, sound without silence, hot without cold, etc.? Therefore, creation is made possible by dividing (powers of 2) a fundamental into two diametrically opposed qualities that allows for the comprehension of both through the existence of its opposite even though they sprang forth from the same source. If we take white light as a model of creation, we can see that colors result from dividing the white light representing unity into multiple colors by shining it through a prism. This process divides the white light into three main colors symbolic of the trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit or Red, Blue and Green. Black is the absence of light or color, in other words, white light is completely absorbed by the darkness and no colors are reflected back. From the three colors red, blue and green, all other color sensations can be made. So in this simple example of white light, we can see how unity was divided into individual unique qualities. Because white light can not exist without it’s opposite (darkness) black, we have the first duality or polar opposite from a common undefined source. Red, Blue and Green light are created when they are divided out from the unity or oneness they experience together as white light. The speed of light is considered as one of the universal constants. It moves about 299,792.5 kilometers per second, or 186,282.4 miles per second. However, if you use nautical miles, which equal 1-minute of latitude at the earth’s equator. The speed of light travels 161,803.4 nautical miles per second, which is equal to the Golden ratio Phi or 1.618034. This ratio occurs in all types of life forms and growth processes. Mathematically, Phi is the division of something into two unequal parts, in such a way that the lesser is to the greater as the greater is to the whole. An interesting Biblical relationship to Phi is the number of the Beast 666. First, let’s calculate phi. Phi is equal to the square root of 5 (diagonal of a one by two rectangle), which is equal to 2.2360679775. Next we add 1 which increases the number to 3.2360679775. The next step is to divide by 2, which equals 1.61803398875. If we divide Phi by two again (the musical octave) we get 0.8090169943749. Now here is where it gets interesting. If you take the sine of 666, you get negative -0.8090169943749 and multiplying this by 2 (musical octave) equals –1.61803398875! For anyone that needs a little refresher course, the sine function gives the ratio of the opposite side of a given angle in a right triangle to the hypotenuse. Also remember that Phi is calculated from the hypotenuse of a 1 by 2 rectangle. From this mathematical exercise, it appears that the Beast is the exact opposite process of Phi, where Phi represents growth, light and life and negative Phi represents decay, darkness and death.
