Pi Embryology

Now that we have made our geometric, linguistic, symbolic and philosophical journey back to the very beginning of the birth of the universe by cracking pi, we can now come to understand the birth story of the universe of you using the very same concepts, mathematics and symbolism. Embryology is the science of the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the foetus stage and as we will see, this multi-layered story of cracking pi is reflected in this story of human reproduction. By calculating the gematria for the words Eighty Six, the number we found within The Great Pyramid of Giza, Circumference / Diameter, as well as the Three Point One Four Two of pi, we find the number 46. The human being is constructed using 46 chromosomes. 

 In the act of procreation, in the first stage of embryology, both man and woman contribute 23chromosomes. A chromosome is a single piece of coiled DNA containing the genetic information for human development. When the father’s sperm enters the mother’s egg, the two unite into the conception of one child, making a total of 46 chromosomes, with 46 being once again THE VERY FIRST OCCULTED OR HIDDEN NUMBER WITHIN our all-important number 86. 

In order to understand how the creation of you reflects the cracking of our primordial pi, we must have a general understanding of the process of human reproduction. 

The reproductive process goes generally like this: At a certain point in a woman’s menstrual cycle (a cycle intimately linked to the waxing and waning cycles of the moon) the woman’s hormones trigger her body to produce and release one egg from either the mother’s right or left ovary, a process called ovulation. We will be equating this egg to our initial sphere or primordial egg of creation. This egg drops from the ovariesinto her uterus through a canal called her fallopian tubes. It is in this window of time that a woman may become pregnant. Man and woman unite through the act of sexual intercourse and the man ejaculates his sperm into the vagina of the woman. After the sperm fuses with the egg during fertilization, a new organism begins developing known as the zygote. The human sperm cell is known as a haploid, a term meaning that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell. The haploidnumber is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. A gamete (From the ancient Greek gametes meaning “husband” and gamete meaning “wife“) is a cell that fuses with another cell during fertilization / conception. The female produces the larger type of gamete—called an ovum or egg (or symbolically, our primordial egg)—and the male produces the smaller serpentine tadpole type—called a sperm. Male sperm cells contain one of two types of sex chromosomes. They are either X or Ychromosomes while the female egg contains only the X with the sperm cell determining the sex of an individual. If a sperm cell containing an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote will be XX or female and if the sperm cell contains a Y chromosome, then the resulting zygote will be XY or male. There are two types of chromosomes, sex chromosomes that determine gender and autosomes which contain the rest of the hereditary information. Once fertilization is complete, the chromosomes of the female are denoted by the letters XX and the male denoted by the letters XY. 

When they merge, a child begins to develop through a process of cell division called meiosis. The first cell splits into two more cells, and those split again, and yet again, eventually forming the human being within the womb. The term embryo refers to the sphere of dividing cells from the moment the zygote implants itself in the uterus wall until the end of the eighth week after conception. Beyond the eighth week after conception (tenth week of pregnancy), the developing human is then called a foetus. This entire universal story of birth lasts for roughly nine months, segmented into trimesters, or three months each, in which afterwards a new child is born. 

Since we already know the ending of our story, and that is, of course, the birth of the universe of you, let’s take a journey through the reproductive system to find out just exactly how this divine universal reflection of the great spirit called the human being came into existence. 

GRABBING THE BULL BY THE HORNS 

Before we move on to look at the mathematics, symbolism and gematria of this process, let’s first look at the female reproductive system symbolically. It is interesting to note that the shape of a woman’s reproductive area and the head of a bull are strikingly similar in appearance. 

There are many references to bull worship throughout religions worldwide. The name El has long been associated with the name of the bull God in many languages (Hebrew, Greek and Egyptian) and is a suffix and prefix found within many names of saints, disciples and divine characters: GabriEL, MichaEL, RaphaEL, SamuEL, AngEL. Bull or calf worship is prevalent in Hindu, Egyptian, Grecian, Minoan, Roman and biblical religious art and architecture, to name but a few. This bull was often depicted with the sphere or egg of creation nestled between its horns. 

Astro-theology, or more widely known as astrology, is the subject of study that laid the foundation for nearly all of the religious mythologies of the world and it is here where we the see the golden calf most prominently referenced, in the constellation Taurus, the Bull. 

In ancient religions, star worship was directly related to the universe of man and man was in turn a reflection of the firmament of stars above, an idea known as the anthropocosm. The constellations above were mapped onto the human body below, as man was but a reflection of the creative power of the heavenly spheres and lights of our night sky. 

Considering that the ancients deemed the stars and constellations of our zodiac to be mirroring the temple of man, it is quite pertinent to point out the linguistic similarities of UTERUS and TAURUS as well as OVARIES and ARIES within the female reproductive system. Aries is the Ram constellation and the zodiacal sign that is attributed to 

enlightenment, most notably referenced with Jesus Christ being the Lamb of God. The sun rises in the constellation of Aries during spring. It is at this time in which the sun crosses, or passes-over the equator, around Easter, signifying the blooming of a new year and the rebirth of life (ancient Roman calendars began their year in March). Passing Aries on its annual path, the sun then makes its journey through the constellation Taurus, the Bull. It is during this time of year when life is renewed and the earth springs up from the depths and death of winter and the sun makes its long crawl up to the Tropic of Cancer. The correlation we may make to the womb where the human mother gives birth (the ovaries and the uterus) and the season in which the rebirth of life occurs on mother Earth (or the zodiacal signs of Aries and the Taurus) is most fitting. If man is indeed a reflection of the first moment of creation and, as the ancients believed, a reflection of the heavens above as well, these correlations within the words of human anatomy and the stars above should come as no surprise to anyone who is well versed in esoteric or occult lore. Only those with a willingness to consider deeply the nature of such parallels will recognize the true ingeniousness of the ancients who once walked this Earth. On the zodiacal makeup of man the constellation Aries was assigned to the head and Taurus was assigned to the neck and isn’t it quite interesting that the first things that emerge from the womb or vagina in labor is the head and neck of the baby. 

BACK TO THE BEGINNING 

Returning now to the genetic development of our universal birth story, or our Genesis, we will see that the gematria for the medical terminology as well as the mythological terms surrounding the entire process of human reproduction correlates directly to mathematics in quite astounding ways. Human procreation and the words used to describe this process give us the precise numbers and concepts attributed to the creation of our universe. 

Let’s start at the beginning, again. 

During ovulation the woman’s hormones trigger her body to produce and release one egg (or symbolically, our primordial egg)—from either her right or left ovary. This egg drops from the ovaries into her uterusthrough a canal called her fallopian tubes. It is in this window of time that a woman may become pregnant. Notice the word fallopian, the tubes that our great egg of creation travels through for fertilization, can be broken up in the most interesting way: FALL O PI AN. Considering that we are speaking of the FALL of an egg, (with the egg recognized by the letter O) through the ovaries to the uterus to be fertilized or broken by our primordial scission of PI by the sperm of M(AN), the word fallopian seems to be a perfect fit to describe symbolically through the letters of our own English Alphabet, this reproductive act. FALL – O – PI – AN. The fallopian tubes were rediscovered in the sixteenth century by one of the most prominent anatomists and physicians of the time, Gabriele Falloppio (1523 – October 9, 1562), often known by his Latin name, Fallopius. How could a man’s name reflect the story of universal birth? Is making such a correlation utter nonsense? To those who have forgotten how to see the magic within our great creation, such things are trifle and represent the absurdity of unscientific and unreasonable thinking. To the mystic, nothing is separate, everything has meaning and every aspect of creation reflects the universal patterns of the great creator. The handiwork of the Grand Architect of the Universe can be seen every which way one looks and these interrelations bring the awesome beauty of the magic of our world into the tangible, the graspableand immediately recognizable. It allows us to see heaven every which way we look and interestingly enough, like Heaven, fallopian sums to 23. 

The egg or ovum, with 23 chromosomes, falls through the fallopian tubes and marries with the sperm, known as a haploid cell. Haploid as well sums to 23 (H6 A1 P3 L2 O2 I5 D4 = 23). After the sperm fuses with the egg during fertilization, a new organism begins developing known as the zygote, summing to 24(Z1 Y2 G7 O2 T7 E5 = 24). The most important aspect of this story is that before the forming of the zygote, or the organism created by the merging of the chromosomes from both sexes, all of our terminology sums to 23, the precise number of chromosomes each gender brings to the act of reproduction. The only time we see any other number is in the zygote, summing to 24. During the passing of the egg from the ovaries to the uterus, through the fallopian tubes, setting the conditions for genetic union, we find the number attributed to Heaven and what we came to symbolically understand previously as the ethereal aspect of our reality and our primordial beginning – THE MATERNAL WATERS OF NUN / NONE. As soon as the chromosomes intermingle, and the sperm merges with the egg to start the process of reproduction, we find our number of Earth, 24, representing the material aspect of creation. 23 and 24, Heaven and Earth – the eternal merging of opposites we find in the opening verse of the Genesis and the exact same numbers and concepts we find within human PRO-creation. 

Are such numerical, linguistic and symbolic similarities merely coincidental? The claim of such things being “just coincidences” loses ground when we explore the magnificent power of the number 23. 

The number 23 is of profound importance not only human genetics, but also in English Gematria. There are many words, dealing directly with sacredness, that sum to 23. Circle, Temple, Chosen, Occult, Lotus, Rebis, Death, Natural, Beauty, Ancient, GAOTU (Grand Architect of the Universe), Fish, Mirror, Nurse and Doctor all sum to 23. The Lakota deity Wakan Tanka, known as the Great Mystery or Great Spirit, sums to 23. The Seneca natives of North America named their greator creator God Swenio, and using the English cipher on it we find the number 23 yet again. A notable relationship to pi is found when we add the first 6 digits of pi together; 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 9 sums to 23 as well. The most important place we see this number 23 though is in the direct correlation we may make with it and our story. With each human being contributing 23chromosomes in the act of procreating the human race on mother Earth, and Heaven summing to 23 as well, we can obtain a better understanding of where exactly Heaven is. Apparently, according to the math, Heaven is within every single human being on planet Earth. “The kingdom of Heaven resides in you” might be as much of a scientific statement as it is a religious one. 

The number 23 also allows us to crack pi. 

Is the mathematical riddle of cracking pi actually a spiritual process, an alchemical quest that one may undergo to realize the Heaven (23) within the temple (23) of oneself? 

Using our cipher on the diploid cell, the cell containing both sets of chromosomes, we find the number 25(D4 I5 P3 L2 O2 I5 D4 = 25). Notice the natural sequential progression from the numbers 23 (fallopian, haploid), 24 (zygote) and 25 (diploid). The number 25 actual incorporates the merging of Heaven and Earth, a reflection of the merging of the male and female sex chromosomes, within its own occult nature. The words Twenty Five sum to 47 and the number 47 is recognized most notably in the study of gematria as representing the merging of both the Heaven and the Earth, with the angle of 47 degrees, being the angle of The Eye of Providence on the back of the United States one dollar bill. 

The most quintessential point about this particular aspect of the genetic marriage that needs to be noted is the fact that the term diploid is defining the very idea of opposites unifying into one being. In our cosmic birth story this union is recognized in the primordial scission of Pi, with the symmetrical 180 degrees each forming our sphere of creation, creating the hands of Adam and the hands of Eve with the mirroring of our base-ten system. In your birth story, this one cell, encapsulating both sets of chromosomes, eventually becomes the universe of you. It would seem that the mathematics and language surrounding these most epic of universal creation tales wants to inform us that they are indeed, one and the same. 

We established earlier that the term gamete (From the ancient Greek gametes meaning “husband” and gamete meaning “wife“) is a cell that fuses with another cell during fertilization with the husband and wiferepresenting the male and female sex chromosome. This union we have come to know as the merging of opposites recognized in Adam and Eve, or the Odd and Even numbers. Using our cipher on the gamete cell, we find the number 26. Yet again, take notice of the natural sequential progression from the numbers 23 (fallopian, haploid), 24 (zygote) and 25 (diploid) and 26 (gamete). Considering the gamete cells embody the principle of the fusion of odd and even, or husband and wife, it is most appropriate then to find the words odd and even equaling 26 as well. 

In looking at our cipher in the chapter on Decoding the Numerology of the English Alphabet, we find the importance of the number 26 seen not only the Hebraic Tetragrammaton, not only in the gematria value for LordGod but as well as in the number of letters in the English Alphabet. How beautiful is it that the very cell named for unifying opposites, shares the same numeric value as the biblical LordGod? 

The merging of these opposites finally creates the sphere of dividing cells called the embryo. Embryo, using our cipher, sums to 17 (E5 M1 B2 R5 Y2 O2 = 17). In our universal creation story, we found that when the first egg or sphere of creation divided, it created the Vesica Piscis and within the womb of the Vescia Piscis we found the number 153. Adding 1 through 17 together, sums to 153 (1 +2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 +10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 = 153). The embryo, or sphere of divided cells shares the same numbers with our first division of our sphere of creation. 

Let’s now take a deeper look at this unification of opposites by exploring the power of the number 46 – the number of chromosomes that make up the universe of man. 

“Within you is found the treasure of treasures. Oh man know thyself and you shall know the universe and the gods.” — From the Oracle of Delphi in Greece 

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” — John Muir 

GOD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE 

Using our cipher on the eternally unified opposites within the gamete cell, or the husband and wife, we find that they, when fused together, sum to the 46 chromosomes of human genetic union. 

We have explored the notion that sacred geometrical canon declares that the circle is a representation of Heaven and the square is a representation of Earth. We found our square Earth and circular Heaven within the opening lines of the Holy Bible, Genesis 1:1 (In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth). This square and circle, creating a cube and a sphere in three dimensions, finds us the once again with that all-important number 46. 

This merging of opposites found within the concepts of Heaven and Earth, Square and Circle, Adam and Eve, As Above and So Below, Yin and Yang that we find within mythology, geometry, occultism, spirituality and philosophy, if indeed be one of the great cosmic laws of the creator, is sure to be found within the creation of the human being. The male and female, or XX and XY chromosomes, come together in the act of procreation to unify, beginning the process that will eventually create an elegant, living reflection of the universal pattern of the creator, the human body. 

The sacred geometrical SEED OF LIFE, a symbol known and used heavily in esoterica and occult circles, using the English cipher, sums to 46. 

The symbol for the Seed of Life is a ubiquitous sacred geometric symbol. The Seed of Life was even deemed the “Egg of Life” and “Fruit of Life”, a direct reference once again to our primordial egg. The Seed of Life is said to be a reflection or geometric expression of the story of creation with God doing his mighty work in six days and resting on the seventh or Sabbath, the same motif we used to discover the cryptogram or cipher for the English Alphabet. The Seed of Life is created by adding one circle a day to the original egg or sphere of creation, with the second day, creating our ever-present Vesica Piscis, what we deemed as the Vessel of the PI SCISSION. Symbolically, this entire process reflects the process of cell division that we see in human reproduction called Meiosis. 

Meiosis sounds strikingly similar to the Egyptian mother of all creation, ISIS, who is akin to the Virgin Mary of the New Testament and the Virgin Mari within Hindu scripture, all supernal mother figures in ancient mythology. Notice that we are dealing with the female ovum or egg as a reflection of the egg of creation, our GENESIS, and upon the splitting of this egg, reflective of the cosmic MEIOSIS and PI SCIS during our universal birth, the first geometric form we create is the motherly womb of ISIS, or the VESICA PISCIS. Genesis, Vesica Piscis, Meiosis, Isis. Phonetically these words are remarkably close and it seems like a charge against reason to not relate these words to each other considering what fundamental cosmic principles these terms and names are embodying. 

The Seed of Life is a flower with 6 leaves resembling almost verbatim the ancient Jewish and Pagan symbol known as the Star of David. Both the Star of David and the Seed of Life embody the principles of uniting the eternal opposites most exalted in the philosophical credo of As Above, So Below. Not coincidentally, Star of David sums to the 46 chromosomes of human sexual union. 

The Star of David, within its geometry, is actually embodying the principle of sexual union. The 3 points within the triangle pointing up, symbolizing Heaven, merge with the 3 points within the triangle pointing down, symbolizing Earth, in a cosmic sexual union, making for a total of SIX points. What makes this so compelling is that the word SEX, is extremely close to the word SIX and even shares the same numerical equivalents (S6 E5 X3 and S6 I5 X3). These six points are recognized in the six directions of space with the central axis point, or the seventh point, representing the perspective of the human being, the very being created during sexual reproduction. And least we not forget, that the seventh point, denoted by the numberSeven, created by the confluence of the six directions, encodes pi, confirming once again that you are indeed a reflection of all creation. 

Quite possibly the most important concept of all embedded within the number 46 is Equilibrium, the state of balance forever maintained by the great creator. Equilibrium is the golden mean, the universal stability and harmony exquisitely expressed within the balance of the opposites of creation. Man and woman, up and down, within and without, all that is above and all that is below are balanced within a single point of consciousness within you. The embracing of balance is of utmost importance to one’s spiritual journey as noted by the deep symbolic meaning behind the scales of Libra, the Egyptian scales of Ma’at as well as in the three-fold archways, or triptychs found consistently in temples, pyramids and cathedrals worldwide. Buddha did not say take the right way. Buddha did not say take the left way. Buddha said to find the Middle Way – the balance or equilibrium. 

Everything proceeds according to the Mystery of the Balance.” – The Zohar 

So far we have looked at Husband/Wife, Sphere/Cube, Seed of Life, Star of David and Equilibrium, the last concept we are going to explore surrounding the number 46 is one of the most heavily referenced creation stories of all time and that being the Garden of Eden. Using our cipher Garden of Eden sums to 46. 

The biblical Garden of Eden, a story about Adam and Eve being cast out of the original primordial garden for what is commonly believed to be an abomination against God, committing original sin, is actually a symbolical story cryptically veiling the story of human reproduction. Adam and Eve represent the male and female chromosomes of human procreation with the Garden of Eden representing the equilibrium or equality of the two sexes within the first merging of cells. Not only does Garden of Eden sum to 46, but Adam and Eve sum to 22 and 22 divided by the 7 letters of ADAM and EVE, equals pi, 3.142. This gives us yet again, the very transcendental ratio that we used to understand the birth of our universe and the very same ratio that we attributed to the seventh point of the six directions of the human perspective. We also see that we are given the exact mathematics attributed to procreation with Adam and Eve summing to 22, representing the 22 autosomes within each sperm and egg, as well as Adam and Eve representing the XYand XX sex chromosomes, respectively. 

GOD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE 

Using our cipher on the eternally unified opposites within the gamete cell, or the husband and wife, we find that they, when fused together, sum to the 46 chromosomes of human genetic union. 

We have explored the notion that sacred geometrical canon declares that the circle is a representation of Heaven and the square is a representation of Earth. We found our square Earth and circular Heaven within the opening lines of the Holy Bible, Genesis 1:1 (In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth). This square and circle, creating a cube and a sphere in three dimensions, finds us the once again with that all-important number 46. 

This merging of opposites found within the concepts of Heaven and Earth, Square and Circle, Adam and Eve, As Above and So Below, Yin and Yang that we find within mythology, geometry, occultism, spirituality and philosophy, if indeed be one of the great cosmic laws of the creator, is sure to be found within the creation of the human being. The male and female, or XX and XY chromosomes, come together in the act of procreation to unify, beginning the process that will eventually create an elegant, living reflection of the universal pattern of the creator, the human body. 

The sacred geometrical SEED OF LIFE, a symbol known and used heavily in esoterica and occult circles, using the English cipher, sums to 46. 

The symbol for the Seed of Life is a ubiquitous sacred geometric symbol. The Seed of Life was even deemed the “Egg of Life” and “Fruit of Life”, a direct reference once again to our primordial egg. The Seed of Life is said to be a reflection or geometric expression of the story of creation with God doing his mighty work in six days and resting on the seventh or Sabbath, the same motif we used to discover the cryptogram or cipher for the English Alphabet. The Seed of Life is created by adding one circle a day to the original egg or sphere of creation, with the second day, creating our ever-present Vesica Piscis, what we deemed as the Vessel of the PI SCISSION. Symbolically, this entire process reflects the process of cell division that we see in human reproduction called Meiosis. 

Meiosis sounds strikingly similar to the Egyptian mother of all creation, ISIS, who is akin to the Virgin Mary of the New Testament and the Virgin Mari within Hindu scripture, all supernal mother figures in ancient mythology. Notice that we are dealing with the female ovum or egg as a reflection of the egg of creation, our GENESIS, and upon the splitting of this egg, reflective of the cosmic MEIOSIS and PI SCIS during our universal birth, the first geometric form we create is the motherly womb of ISIS, or the VESICA PISCIS. Genesis, Vesica Piscis, Meiosis, Isis. Phonetically these words are remarkably close and it seems like a charge against reason to not relate these words to each other considering what fundamental cosmic principles these terms and names are embodying. 

The Seed of Life is a flower with 6 leaves resembling almost verbatim the ancient Jewish and Pagan symbol known as the Star of David. Both the Star of David and the Seed of Life embody the principles of uniting the eternal opposites most exalted in the philosophical credo of As Above, So Below. Not coincidentally, Star of David sums to the 46 chromosomes of human sexual union. 

The Star of David, within its geometry, is actually embodying the principle of sexual union. The 3 points within the triangle pointing up, symbolizing Heaven, merge with the 3 points within the triangle pointing down, symbolizing Earth, in a cosmic sexual union, making for a total of SIX points. What makes this so compelling is that the word SEX, is extremely close to the word SIX and even shares the same numerical equivalents (S6 E5 X3 and S6 I5 X3). These six points are recognized in the six directions of space with the central axis point, or the seventh point, representing the perspective of the human being, the very being created during sexual reproduction. And least we not forget, that the seventh point, denoted by the numberSeven, created by the confluence of the six directions, encodes pi, confirming once again that you are indeed a reflection of all creation. 

Quite possibly the most important concept of all embedded within the number 46 is Equilibrium, the state of balance forever maintained by the great creator. Equilibrium is the golden mean, the universal stability and harmony exquisitely expressed within the balance of the opposites of creation. Man and woman, up and down, within and without, all that is above and all that is below are balanced within a single point of consciousness within you.

Buddha did not say take the right way. Buddha did not say take the left way. Buddha said to find the Middle Way – the balance or equilibrium. 

Everything proceeds according to the Mystery of the Balance.” – The Zohar 

So far we have looked at Husband/Wife, Sphere/Cube, Seed of Life, Star of David and Equilibrium, the last concept we are going to explore surrounding the number 46 is one of the most heavily referenced creation stories of all time and that being the Garden of Eden. Using our cipher Garden of Eden sums to 46. 

The biblical Garden of Eden, a story about Adam and Eve being cast out of the original primordial garden for what is commonly believed to be an abomination against God, committing original sin, is actually a symbolical story cryptically veiling the story of human reproduction. Adam and Eve represent the male and female chromosomes of human procreation with the Garden of Eden representing the equilibrium or equality of the two sexes within the first merging of cells. Not only does Garden of Eden sum to 46, but Adam and Eve sum to 22 and 22 divided by the 7 letters of ADAM and EVE, equals pi, 3.142. This gives us yet again, the very transcendental ratio that we used to understand the birth of our universe and the very same ratio that we attributed to the seventh point of the six directions of the human perspective. We also see that we are given the exact mathematics attributed to procreation with Adam and Eve summing to 22, representing the 22 autosomes within each sperm and egg, as well as Adam and Eve representing the XYand XX sex chromosomes, respectively.
