Aside from it being the sum total of 3 bytes with all their bits turned on?
1111 1111+1111 1111+1111 1111= 768 in binary (256*3 in decimal) w/o the "off by one" phenomenon, which would make 767 because it starts with 0 not 1...
And now it sounds like a Boeing jet too... - I don't think that's what's meant by being "taken up into the air" as per the gospels. I'm pretty sure that relates to divine ecstasy - the love of God in the highest.
If you want to know about numerical relations to the Divine, and other important esoteric principles, I suggest you study the eastern Indian (as in Asian subcontinent, not eastern US... Yes, some confuse the two... Thanks Columbus, you poor ignorant explorer/trader, you - not to mention those school text books which are made by people other than the attributed collaborators, e.g., the statue of liberty is NOT made of bronze...! Unless you speak some other language where copper is called bronze...) mathematicians, and of course, Pythagoras, et al.
Yes, that's my perverse attempt at humor - it's funny to me sans my poor writing skills.... ;)
Getting ideas out through writings is roughly equivalent as containing the notion of God in human terms... It's generally spotty, and the best things can never be spoken, or even thought, they simply are - they are perfect and immutable, and can not be circumscribed by its inferior and dependent.
For your convenience though, I will offer a tradition mathematical example: Godhead may be likened to each number of 0, 1 and Infinity, or the whole range of numbers (not just the whole number called "natural numbers") depending on your concern. If for example if you consider God as unknowable as science of necessity does, then 0 is applicable, which can be thought of in (at least) two ways; one is, that God does not exist -primarily atheistic in human conceptionism [yes I made that word up to fit the idea, just like all other words are made up...]; 2 is, that God does exist but is merely a placeholder for anything, and consequently everything else... -Pantheistic of human conceptionism of God. I could go on to describe how Infinity, Prime, and all the other numbers describe various conceptualizations of the Divine essence, e.g. the Holy Spirit, Manifestation, Nature, Goddess, Fractal Evolutionism etc. However that would make, this already lengthy writ, too profuse IMO.
I will now use a shorter and more easily understood example - more easily understood because it is limited to four degrees, and not multiples of infinities as the above was... Let us call God, Prime [1], the Holy Spirit - Infinity, Individuation the numbers, respectively, in their degrees, and finally the basket which holds the numbers, Nature [0]. By defining it thus we have what are sometimes called the 4 corners, the heart (with 4 chambers) etc. I will move from numbers to a more readily perceived as fluid concept progressively, since reciprocity is essential to life...
Nature itself has examples of each of these in the 4 fundamental forces, gravity/cosmological constant, magnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force - these all act with reciprocity inter-mutability in this example... Likewise the x,y,z axis of space, with the relational dimension of time: which is a measure from which we ascribe the appearance of movement, though we've only measured and apparition of the relationship between things, and volition can chose between the various perceptions of the elemental measures.
Now in this case we have what is called "The True One to the True One, The True One to the Creatures, the creatures to the True One, and the creatures to the creatures... This manifests in the realm of the creatures [us individually] in two apparent forces, good and evil, or as in the heart analogy, the arteries [oxygenated blood] and veins [oxygen depleted blood], between the lungs and heart there is a role reversal... These are seen as the True one to the creatures [arteries], the cells are nourished; the creatures to the true one [veins], the heart is nourished; the True One to the True One, The heart[s] feed itself, and the creatures to the creatures, inter-cellular action by the motion of the blood [and other fluids], and proximity of the cells.
In that example the "breath of life" as it appears in this world is the oxygen rich blood traveling, nourishing the other cells, and starving for "breath" return to the heart for a renewal to the lungs, over and over again. If this is unconscious then it is likened to sleep, or even death is the life cycle is unfruitful, but consciously done, is likened to wakeful life if it is fruitful, but still death if unfruitful...
In sum, many mysteries can be alluded to by numerical allocation, due to human conception of measure, but the Illimitable is not delineated by these notions, but merely some relation of It to Its creatures, and these even so must be explored according to comprehensive rules, and not merely the vague inspiration, which do not conclude with an increased resolve for fruitful action. Strive not to be idle in imagining correlations without real impact because that is like a cancer which grows, and grows, and deprives the whole body of the merit of your specific function and purpose.
Find what good you can do solely for the sake of others, and you'll find yourself immeasurably supported by the whole healthy system, and the diseased will fight for their life by changing for the better because of you, or rejecting you fiercely because they love their disease. Cancer is isolationist, or aggressive destruction, and health is interdependent, often self sacrificing, servitude.
God bless.
