Origin of NUMBERS and Desiderius Erasmus Roterdamus (1466 – 1536)





  When Things Don't Work Out as Planned

Not everything will turn out the way we wish it would. Since we will have to deal with this, we need to think about how we will react when things don't happen as planned. Your reactions to these situations will always depend on your self-talk.
If your self-talk is the kind you have when you are angry, sad, bitter, or stressed, you will become angry, sad, bitter, or stressed. If your self- talk is the kind you have when you react wisely or joyfully, you will become wiser or joyful.
If your self-talk is the kind you have when you react in a spiritually elevated way, you will become more spiritual. If your self-talk is the kind you have when you find something good and positive, you will find something good and positive and will feel good.
Regardless of your initial reaction, you can always choose to change your current self-talk. You can learn to respond in the way that you really wish to respond.

They never taught this at school.

Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time, had to create their shapes and meaning.

Watch this short presentation and then you will know how our Arabic numbers were originally created a very long time ago and what logic the people that created them used to determine their shapes.
It is really very simple and quite creative? You have to admire the intelligence of a person that created something so simple and perfect that it has lasted for thousands and thousands of years and will probably never change?

When the presentation gets to the number "seven" you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas they still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way. The nine has a kind of curly tail on it that has been reduced, for the most part nowadays, to a simple curve, but the logic involved still applies.
I could not attach the power point, because the internet wouldn't let me, but it shows the angles on each letter equals the number itself (1 has 1, two has two etc.)




Warning:
There are over 700 Fake Oboma Health care sites ready to steal your personal information for Identity fraud. The real site is the one that doesn't work.

They have put the cost to build the site at a billion dollars. If you wanted a site that didn't work, I could have done it for $4,000.
