For every religious god, there is a religious devil...reatively
speaking of course.
The bible is full of numerical symbology, but, as one would expect,
the majority take most of such symbols as literal.
Nine represents the completed human, where all the previous eight
characteristics culminate. That level consciousness is a threat to
churchiology power.
Numerology is still seen as 'the devils' work by the Vatican. They
have a 'devil' of a time hiolding on to power over more enlightened
people.
*****Yes, I believe in God rather than religion, too.
I still hold to ancient texts about him, though.
