While nature is based on mathematics, numbers themselves are not actually important. Rather, nature cares about proportions and geometry which is based on proportions. Because a number by itself is completely arbitrary. If we were using a base-9, or base-12 number system, the number 11 would represent a completely different value. But if you talk about pi, or the golden ratio, or the Fibonacci sequence, these principles hold true and are found in nature, regardless of how we design our particular mathematical system.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Symbolic or not, the practical effect of the fall out of 9/11 has been the instillation of fear and the suppression of hope and joy. The constant meme has been FEAR, FEAR, HATE, HATE broadcast daily by the Government and news media.
In one day we went from being Beaver Cleaver's neighborhood to world-wide warzone. What struck me most after 9/11 was how everyone lost their sense of humor. NOBODY made jokes (almost nobody!). It does seem they ahve tried to kill something inside us.
Even those of us who never bought into the OS of 9/11 were still changed because everyone around changed.
Being conscious of this in the first step in counterracting it. We need to reclaim our sense of hope (not brand Obama hope) and joy of living and get back to the things god intended us for. Now cowering in our living rooms waiting for the next false flag to happen.
Good post.
