Proof of Divine Providence

P.S.
For greater detail about this, and what it creates, and my justifications for each step, see my other post under "Qabalah" entitled "Liber Al Cipher 666 Tablet".
I do hope you look into it everyone, and not simply gloss over it. It is easy to do since it seems long winded, but it becomes clear if you truly read it. Thank you guys!
P.S. criticism is WELCOME! I can take it, yet of course I'm enthusiastic about it, and will argue politely to explain anything I feel is misunderstood. IF however, you make a good arguement, I'm all for growing, and admitting if I see it now differently. I only want your ideas and opinions, I do admire many of you. I put thus out there just for that reason, that I know many of you have great minds, and opinions. So, please, really help me here, if I'm wrong then explain.

I will meditate on your response and let you know what I think in more detail after I've had a chance to reference some of your material. The cabin where I keep my library is far from any internet access (but perfect for ritual work, given its isolation
).These facts do you credit:
The fact that you a.) don't make extravagant claims about your attainments, b.) don't react to criticism with an unmitigated, irrational anger befitting the beasts of the field, and c.) couch your findings in a readable format complete with syntax and capitalization.
I'll let you know what I think anon.

"What, I ask you, are the chances for all this?"
The chances are exactly the same as those letters/cards/squares/whatever adding up to something different, and that "something different" would have exactly the same chance of you being able to manipulate it to yield some result that strikes your mind, subjectively, as impressive.
There's absolutely nothing going on here beyond the power of the human mind to find patterns, which any person can find in any text of sufficient complexity.
There's a comparison I like to make in these situations: consider the chances of getting dealt a perfect bridge hand. That would be thirteen cards, two through ace, all of the same suit (let's say diamonds). The odds of getting dealt that exact hand is somewhere in the realm of one in a few billion.
But now consider this: what are the odds of being dealt some other hand, a hand that doesn't strike you as particularly special (like four of clubs, two of diamonds, jack of hearts, ace of clubs, seven of spades, etc., etc.)....the odds of being dealt that not-particularly-special hand are exactly the same as the odds of getting the "special" hand.
The odds of being dealt any particular hand are exactly as unlikely as the odds of being dealt any other particular hand. All hands are equally unlikely: it's human minds that attach importance to certain groups of cards and then get impressed at how "unlikely" they are.
There's an argument that religious believers often make involving the cosmos. It's a well known fact that if the cosmological constants were even a tiny bit different, the universe as we know it would not exist and humans would certainly not exist. In fact, if anything that happened within the first few seconds of the Big Bang had happened even slightly differently, humans would not be here now. Religious believers sometimes point to these facts as "proof" of divine providence. "What are the odds!" they declare, "What are the odds that things would have happened exactly as they did! Surely, there must be some intelligence at work here because the odds of it happening are so incredibly small!"
That position is precisely the same as saying, "What are the odds that I got this great bridge hand! Surely, the dealer must have rigged the deck because the odds of me getting it are so incredibly small!"
But every hand is just as unlikely as every other hand, and every way the universe could have turned out is just as unlikely as every other way the universe could have turned out. It just so happens that this is the one we got.
You see where I'm going with this? The above applies to facts about the world...when we turn to number manipulations, where you're free to just make up your own rules willy nilly and keep experimenting with stuff until you find results that strike you as meaningful, you're almost guaranteed to get results that strike you as meaningful. Anyone with half an ounce of creativity is definitely going to get seemingly impressive results.
But it's not "unlikely" -- at least not any more unlikely than any other combination that you would have also been able to manipulate into something meaningful to you. In short, the only "intelligence" at work here is the one between your ears.
These silly number games you've presented demonstrate nothing, in the same way that the number games played by the "Bible Code" lunatics demonstrate nothing.

Los,
I tell you what, I am completely and utterly disappointed in you here. I actually expected something a LOT better than this!
Your answer is blatantly rediculous, and goes on without really explaining anything in particular, other than ramble about "chance". You forget, it added up that way exactly how the riddles described. MAYBE I would agree with JUST the 666 or a 418, but there is multiple areas of cohesion. EVERYTHING lines up.
I highly doubt you even truly READ what I wrote on the post! I'm convinced you glanced at it, saw some numbers, and rolled your eyes and wrote that lazy reply.
You HAVE to be insane to think that out of the NATURAL sequence of 0 thru 25, bending them in half, and reducing, could add up to half of foursquare 666, FOUR 36 squared quadrants of 6 x 111, and a CENTRAL cross of 418 just randomly.
Sure.
Lol, if your right, should be EASY for you to demonstrate such a random mentally created pattern! Yeah, I simply MANIPULATED the sequence by folding in half and reducing and adding? Show me by your mental powers such a feat! You cant! Its impossible!
How do you explain the 5,14,23 being compared to the Greek letters and Hebrew to 666?
Lame explanation, and you know it!

Your story demonstrates only that if you play with numbers long enough, you'll eventually find numbers that are meaningful to you. Big surprise.
What's really ridiculous is the idea that there is some oogity-boogity goblin man who decided to dictate some magical book, and he decides that he wants to leave "proof" that he really is a "preterhuman intelligence" with far advanced knowledge that represents the one and only chance for mankind to advance as a whole and yadda yadda yadda....
So what kind of "proof" does he give? Does he provide specific, unambiguous, and incotrovertible prophecies of the future? Does he actually give people useful knowledge, like, say, the plans for technology that would vastly improve life as we know it? Does he provide unambiguous solutions to serious problem plaguing humanity? Does he bother telling us about climate change?
No, of course not. He leaves a bunch of obscure number games in some little-known text, games that can only be solved by using the most convoluted methods possible to "find" numbers that add nothing to the meaning of the Book.
Honestly, if this is the best that such a being can do, he's welcome to keep his super-duper number games. I think humanity is going to get along just fine without them.

Yawn. Like I said, you gave it no thought, you didn't even read it really. I explained it. I truly think the idea of something more to life scares you, or you have some problem with that idea. You refuse to see anything at all contrary to your views. I'm sorry, if you take all the factors its beyond chance, and I did not "toy" with it. Did you try it on paper? Nope. Id like you to show me just how much toying I did. Not much more than is described easily in Liber L.
Toy with numbers, show me. Demonstrate it for me, your theory. I dare you lol. Same ease as mine, as straight forward and resulting in the same amount of related symbols. For example 666 derived from 6 x 111, and another example of cohesion, a central cross of 418, four solar gates composed "randomly" of 36 squares summing to 666. Do it or shut up.

VERY interesting........
Can you sketch up the FULL table of numbers for us, just so there's no ambiguity ?
Now, if such 'number games' can 'easily be made to pull out whatever number you desire', it should be simple then, to pull 111,418, and 666 out of a similar-but-different 'game' of your own devising? I've played around a bit with my own theories and 'games'. It's not as easy as you'd think. Sure, you can maybe get one thing to add up here and another there, but more often than not, things DON'T just 'line up' on their own.
I think your method makes sense (somewhat), you seem to have started with an insightful idea, 0-25 for the 'order and value of the english alphabet', and the results look promising.

Knowledge + Delight 93,
Thank you! Yes, I realize its hard BTW to have many points align, and that's my main reason for my claim. While it may be true we can toy with numbers all day, and find patterns - rarely do so many tally on so many PROPER points. Like I had explained; if for example, I was saying things like "well if you take the 5 A's out of Abrahadabra, and arrange them as 0's, and take the consonants and value them as Hebrew.." THAT is manipulating things, and taking them out of order, or toying. It would also be toying if I told everyone to pick out all the "odd" numbers, and add them together and viola - it totalled 666!
Instead, this situation does maybe 3 "manipulations", four if you count "finding" the divisions, yet that is already there. The manipulations then are VERY limited:
**1. Arranging 0 thru 25 left to right and top to bottom, folded in half. (coincidentally at the micro/macro division)
-
Reducing these numbers. (Is that really manipulation though? How could you really control THAT result?)
-
Adding them all together. Done.
4. Realizing the sums in the divisions are half those for 666,418, and 111. (In addition to many more, like 56)*
So, basically in the above, simple four steps all these significant results are generated. Manipulation to "find" what you want is sort of difficult in such a limited method. THEN, if you use the same steps, but this time do not reduce the factors, and add one or two sets etc., you generate even more results, all of which, again tie in and make symbolic sense, they all have an inherent harmony.
So, anyone claiming its just pulling out "random patterns" is missing the argument that those with complete SYMBOLIC harmony push it well beyond chance, in my opinion (Id like Simon's input here, knowing he has knowledge of statistics). That symbolic consistency, arrived at by such a simple process, to me, is another valid point.
Anyway, I will try to give the full tables here, yet it's difficult because the typed numbers don't align right on here (I tried). In my other post (Liber Al Cipher 666), I do provide a few charts, but not the half results for 666 result. I don't have access at the moment to work up a new graphic, so ill try to provide it here through typing.
Ok, and I almost forgot, and its something I really need to explain more because it is important, and that is "ok but what the hell IS it? What does it DO?" I'm sorry, I did focus more on the number evidence and not what it was.
I believe it is a new Enochian style Thelemic Tablet. Now realize, I am not as knowledgeable as Jim, or many of those here, and so I'm not even sure of exactly "how" or "what" it does, but I do know enough about magick, and Enochian to have an educated guess. My analysis is that it is a magical "House", or symbolic "Solar-martial temple", with "four gates", or solar quadrants, like the Enochian scheme. This sort of thing is hinted at within Liber L, as I'm sure you know. Stands to reason we would use it very similar to the way we use the Enochian system, travel into these squares which actually blend the Tarot cards in a 5 & 6 fashion. There are elemental attributes given to each square as well, and Hebrew, Greek, and English letters blended for each square. There are letters upon these squares just as there are on the Enochian, which obviously give us particular names to be used in this new system.
I'm thinking this Tablet, like Liber Tav, gives us a unique combination of Tarot, within an elemental arrangement, which adds to it, that provides new insights into Thelemic ideas, and a workable Thelemic system of magick. I'm sure, there are a lot of similarities of uses to the Enochian, of which it is obviously suggesting. BTW, I have not revealed the "letters" that go upon these squares, what is shown in these numbers, is simply the numerical skeleton, that is the Books way of pointing out this whole scheme, a way to point us in the right direction for putting it all together.
I hope this helps clear up the point of it. Of course this is a real quick sketch, but I think its enough for you to look onto it with this idea in mind, and see for yourself if it makes sense in the results. Look at how the cards and elements and numbers align and you'll see what I mean, AND how, with this scheme in mind, the verses in Liber L seem to confirm it.

50 50 50 50 50 50 = 300

50 50 50 50 50 50 = 300
50 50 50 50 50 50 = 300Total 1800 reduces to 180 number of the Moon (from quadrant that produced number of the Sun)
13 x 50 = 650 for vertical & horizontal arm of cross (or ANY row or column)
650 + 650 = 1300 (13 Achad "one", as in "One Palace" Palace = 65)
50 of course is the 13th Key of the Tarot, Death.
It goes on and on and on.

"FOX = 666. I've seen this Qabalah before. Can't remember where, but at least it demonstrates this has been discovered before."
Well I did put this in my other post as "FOX English Qabalah". I made that up lol. Look at my other post, maybe that's where you remember it from. Ive never heard of it before otherwise, and love to see it if it was done before!
[EDIT] I should clarify here a point. I believe the values of the English are the REDUCED order numbering. This means Z = 7, T = 1 etc. An example of this is ABRAHADABRA = 28, which is fitting, since in Hebrew Gemetria 28 is "Power", and Abrahadabra is the "Double word of power" (28 + 28 = 56)

Turns out there's more than one way to make FOX=666, I probably saw it the other way years ago - which is why I don't remember it, I tend toward dismissing certain silliness (not your topic, the FOX = 666 from before).

Thank you for elucidating your system in more detail. I'm still digesting the material; I'll give a longer critique later. So far my thoughts are: interesting and impressive, but inconclusive.
The Book, as I understand it, has a subtlety that corresponds to that of the reader. While I feel that your findings are interesting and thought-provoking, I feel that there is still a great deal left unanswered. What I see is an intelligent mind working sincerely on the problems presented by the Book of the Law. I don't think that you've answered any questions conclusively, however. Nor am I certain your findings establish "proof of divine providence."
I'll give my final analysis later. But whatever the case, I can encourage you to keep working in the same direction. "A tree will be known by its fruits."

What I see is an intelligent mind working sincerely on the problems presented by the Book of the Law. I don't think that you've answered any questions conclusively, however. Nor am I certain your findings establish "proof of divine providence."
I'll give my final analysis later. But whatever the case, I can encourage you to keep working in the same direction. "A tree will be known by its fruits.""
In the end, no matter what, I am not here to shove it down throats. Do what thou wilt. However, realize of course the above is a brief sketch, enough I figure, to show something higher at work. The proof being in the statistical unlikeliness of these consistent symbolic results.
I accept your findings, but with the point that you have not proven me wrong either. Of course the verses hold personal meaning, however, I feel they have an ingenious magical quality to have layers of potential meaning. I again say, my conclusion for proof rests in these results not being the product of chance. My demand is to be shown a comparable example of such findings. Can you demonstrate something like this that provides similar numbers in the same amount of steps and just as relevant to the riddles?
Anyway, thank you for your opinion, and taking the time! That alone is awesome of you and appreciated!

P.S.
A further tid-bit, I believe the TRUE arrangement for these numbers are "left to right and top to bottom", which is a secret hidden in the line drawn clue. This changes the cards blended within certain elements, for example, 0 & 13 (Aleph & Nun 51) at the then top left corner, which is then in "Air of Air". Like the Enochian, there were some blinds I believe. There really is a lot to share, more results, but ANYONE with a basic knowledge in Qabalah & magic can find these, IF they truly take the time to investigate. That's the problem however, not many are motivated with some "nobodys" apparent "idea" lol.

Once I`ve read something from a shaman that I find amazing.
“Everything has a spirit, but not all spirits have power”
Since a do not take riddle stuff seriously (as I do not take most thinks seriously), the question I believe that should be asked is:
Does it have power?
If yes, you got something.

Try it. My own answer, and here I can only talk about MY experience, is an emphatic YES! I know (for me at least) it has power. However, of course one can give anything power for themselves if they believe in it. The question here is, does it have objective power? I say TRY IT! Look into it, study it, and see for yourself. Speaking for myself only, I have MY proof of providence and its relevence, but I feel it goes beyond just my own sphere.
