SIX APPEAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cSix\u201d<\/strong> is the Fourth Actual Number according to the Mathematical Philosophers (who saw the Birth of Numbers at \u201cthree\u201d and ending a \u201cNine\u201d).<\/p>\n

We could probably be understood around the world and though out history because of similar pronunciation of its name:- In Egyptian as (SAS) Assyrian as (SISSA) Hebrew as (SESH) Arabic as (SITTA) Celtic as (SE) Latin as (SEX) Italian as (SEI) German as (SECHS) Spanish as (SEKS) French as (SEES) Russian as (SESTJ) English as (SIX) Danish as (SEKS) And many more other Languages. The Archetype of SIXNESS was called HEXAD by the Greeks, in whose Language the Sibilant sound of \u201cS\u201d became the aspirated \u201cH\u201d.<\/p>\n

Whenever we encounter the HEXAD in countless Hexagonal (six sided) natural phenomena and human designs from beehives to faucet handles, we can be sure that certain principles are being called in to play. By investigating the arithmetic properties of the number six and the geometric pattern of the hexagon, we find that the hexad is intimate with both the MONAD and Triad, the circle and the triangle, Unity and trinity,whole3ness and balanced structure, applying their principles in an advanced way.<\/p>\n

We refer to the HEXADS principle as \u201cSTRUCTURE – FUNCTION – ORDER \u201cand \u201cSPACE – POWER \u2013 TIME\u201d.<\/p>\n

In surprising ways, Multiples of SIX, particularly 12, 36, and 60, also emerge from the principles of the Hexad as a \u201cnatural\u201d framework in mathematics, nature, the symbolic arts, and everyday affairs.<\/p>\n

The dodecahedron’s dozen faces, the traditional quintessential \u201cheaven,\u201d was associated with the twelve constellations of the ancient Zodiac. The story of the process of the Sun’s journey through the cycle of the year, told through the symbolism of the zodiac,c has endured for countless centuries as an archetypal tale of twelvefold progression on many levels.<\/p>\n

The Story of the Starry Skies was purposely mirrored in terrestrial affairs as the many twelve-part epic myths of solar heroes, as the twelve ordeals of Gilgamesh and twelve labours of Hercules and also in a surprising number of religions (particularly those having 12 disciples around a central figure, modelling the Zodiac around the Sun). Also Whole Societies such as the twelve tribes of Israel and Athenian Society, and the Chinese and European courts were organised according to the duodecimal cosmic ideal.<\/p>\n

A PERFECT SIX<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ancient Mathematical philosophers began to understand the Principles of any numerical archetype by first looking at its Arithmetic and geometric properties. The Unique properties of sixness will help gain insight into the hexad’s principle [e of Structure \u2013 Function \u2013 Order.<\/p>\n

HEXAD has unique number properties.<\/p>\n

Six is the first of only two terms within the Decad composed by the Multiplication of two different factors (other than unity).<\/p>\n

1= 1×1<\/p>\n

2= 1×2<\/p>\n

3= 1×3<\/p>\n

4= 2×2<\/p>\n

5=1×5<\/p>\n

6=2×3<\/strong><\/p>\n

7=1×7<\/p>\n

8= 2x2x2<\/p>\n

9=3×3<\/p>\n

10=2×5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because six is a Doubling of three, it partakes of the Triads Principle of balanced Structure.<\/p>\n

Hexad is in many ways rooted in the triad. The Ancient philosophers viewing numbers as Collections of Monads arranged in to geometric shapes saw six as the third of Four Triangular Numbers within the DEKAD (1, 3, 6, and 10).<\/p>\n

They also noticed that SIX is both the Sum and Product of its Divisors, the first three items (1, 2 and 3). Thus to the ancients six represented the PARENTS (1and 2) of all numbers, with their First born (3), making a complete Whole.<\/p>\n

They called it Perfection of Parts since six is the only Number that is both the sum and product of the same three integers. In fact the divisors of Six (1 2 and 3) compose the only set of three integers wherein each number divides the sum of the other two.<\/p>\n

Further intrigued by the interplay of two and three and noticing that 2+3=5 and 2×3=6, the ancient mathematician philosophers saw in both the PENTAD and HEXAD different symbols of \u201cmarriage\u201d since they are both formed by the interplay of a Female term (two is considered even and female) and a male term (three is odd and considered male). And like Biological parents, only five and six generate progeny like themselves; that is, self-multiplying powers of the Five always end in five ( 5×5=25 5x5xx5 =125 etc.) and Six necessarily end in Six ( 6×6<\/p>\n

=36 6x6x6 =216 and so on).<\/p>\n

The Pentad expresses this self-replication in its living forms. The Hexad expresses its self-similarity in self-reinforcing structure \u2013 order \u2013 function. Thus it was dubbed the Form of Form and the unwearied anvil by the Pythagoreans.<\/p>\n

And NOW as traders \u2026. (As we were talking about 6).<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WHICH<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Stage<\/u><\/em><\/strong> are<\/u><\/em><\/strong> you?<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
