The Secret Science of NumerologyTo me it is particularly interesting that Pianist should have the full
number of 88, for the instrument played has 88 keys. Excellence (88) is
achieved by Exercise (88) resulting in Pleasant (88) sounds.
8 and 8 = 16/7, and 7 is the root that represents analytical study,
spirituality, and perfecting the self. The words above reflect the positive
side of the 16/7 vibration. The 16 is known as a karmic number and corre-
sponds with the 16th Tarot card, the Lightning Struck Tower, that de-
picts ruin unless the spirituality of the 7 is sought. When the mind is kept
on a purely physical level it becomes Poison to the body (Poison’s full
word total is 88/16/7). But when consciousness is raised to the spirituality
of the 7, the great power of the double eight blossoms forth in the full-
fledged Apostle with his Vision, the Pianist who reaches Excellence
through Exercise, and all is Pleasant and Proper.
Since H is the eighth letter, 88 = HH. Each H is a ladder up to success
or down to failure. The 8 is a picture of the cycle of all life, and success is
due to continual application of the governing laws.
NINETY-NINE (99)
The 99 represents complete fulfillment. By full word total it has such
words as:
Accomplish. Answers. Ascension. Comforted. Fortune.
Poetry. Physics. Satisfy. Thought.
The ninth letter is I. So 99, or Ii, is the I of the Higher Self and the i of
the ego. When the ego is in tune with the Higher Self, complete fulfill-
ment is possible.
