Sunday Numerology: 12
This segment is about numbers and their meaning on our planet. Today’s numerology is about 12. 12 seems to be based on cycles…round and round where it stops noone knows.
According to Wikipedia…
The word “twelve” is a native English word that presumably arises from the Germanic compound twa-lif “two-leave”, meaning that two is left after one takes away the base, ten. This compound meaning may have been transparent to speakers of Old English, but the modern form “twelve” is quite translucent. Only the remaining tw- hints that twelve and two are related. Etymology (Weekley, Skeat) suggests that “twelve” (similar to “eleven”) consists of two parts, the first meaning “two” and the second “leftover”, so a literal translation would yield “two remaining [after having ten taken]“.
Below is an excerpt from http://www.gold-eagle.com/,<< a great online gold digest.
“One of the most basic assumptions in forms of financial analysis is that price movements are controlled by underlying cycles in price and time. This means that price fluctuations in all actively traded securities are intrinsically guided by regularly recurring oscillations (which typically take the form of wavelengths) which tend to FLUCTUATE from ONE extreme to another—like a pendulum—in EQUAL DISTANCE, TIME and MAGNITUDE.”
“But cycles are more than just esoteric oscillations on a price chart. They are everywhere and surround us in our day-to-day existence; indeed, our very universe is governed by the cyclical principle. Many astute traders and financial analysts have attempted to harness the power of cycles in their attempts at profiting in the financial markets. They realize that if the essence of the cycle can be discovered, it will surely set them on the path to profit without measure. May we propose that in order to plumb the depths and mysteries of the cycle, one must discover the numerical essence behind it. And that essence is contained within a single, simple number, and one that has a tremendous significance in our everyday lives: the “magic” number 12.”

Star Maps…not the Twilight Zone.
I first took an interest in constellations at age 7 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when my daddy gave me his UofM Astrology textbook. I have to admit I don’t go outside and look in the sky very much at all these days, especially when the weather starts getting cold. So thats why the hyperspace is so great…you can make them visible from miles away. We should at least recognize some of these amazing star systems. I’ll start with my favorite below.
Notice Gemini to the top left
The Big Dipper 
Summer Triangle
A great view of the winter sky.

Game of Love
“A more substantial beginning is that Tennis derived from Handball, a version of which was played in the ancient world including the civilisations of Rome, Greece and Egypt. There is an Egyptian town on the Nile called Tinnis (in Arabic) and some speculate that this is the origin of the name ‘Tennis’. Another string to this theory’s bow is that the term ‘racquet’ is thought to derive from the Arabic word ‘rahat’ which means ‘the palm of the hand’.”
“The first game which was definitely like Tennis was played in France and the alternative philological theory is that ‘Tennis’ comes from the French ‘Tenez’ (‘Take it’ or ‘Play’). Legend has it that the game was given to the French Royal Court in the 10th century by a wandering minstrel but, regardless, by the 11th century early Tennis was being played in French monasteries for sure. The monks usually stretched a rope across the cloistered central quadrangles in the monastery or sometimes played immediately adjacent to a castle and the court of the game of Royal Tennis is clearly synonymous with these beginnings.”
www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Tennis.htm
Tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually grass, clay, a hardcourt of concrete and/or asphalt and occasionally carpet (indoor). The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 ft (10.97 m) for doubles matches.[24] Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts and 3 feet (91.4 cm) high in the center.[24]
The modern tennis court owes its design to Major Walter Clopton Wingfield who, in 1873, patented a court much the same as the current one for his stické tennis (sphairistike). This template was modified in 1875 to the court design that exists today, with markings similar to Wingfield’s version, but with the hourglass shape of his court changed to a rectangle.
Scoring
Main article: Tennis score
A tennis match is determined through the best of 3 or 5 sets. Typically for both men’s and women’s matches, the first player to win two sets wins the match. At certain important tennis tournaments for men, including all four Grand Slam tournaments and the final of the Olympic Games, the first man to win three sets wins the match.[29] A set consists of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.
A game consists of a sequence of points played with the same player serving. A game is won by the first player to have won at least four points in total and at least two points more than the opponent. The running score of each game is described in a manner peculiar to tennis: scores from zero to three points are described as “love“, “fifteen“, “thirty“, and “forty” respectively. (See the main article Tennis score for the origin of these words as used in tennis.) If at least three points have been scored by each player, and the scores are equal, the score is “deuce“. If at least three points have been scored by each side and a player has one more point than his opponent, the score of the game is “advantage” for the player in the lead. During informal games, “advantage” can also be called “ad in” or “ad out”, depending on whether the serving player or receiving player is ahead, respectively.
In tournament play, the chair umpire calls the point count (e.g., “fifteen-love“) after each point. The score of a tennis match during play is always read with the serving player’s score first. After a match, the score is always read with the winning player’s score first. At the end of a game, the chair umpire also announces the winner of the game and the overall score.
A game point occurs in tennis whenever the player who is in the lead in the game needs only one more point to win the game. The terminology is extended to sets (set point), matches (match point), and even championships (championship point). For example, if the player who is serving has a score of 40-love, the player has a triple game point (triple set point, etc.) as the player has three consecutive chances to win the game. Game points, set points, and match points are not part of official scoring and are not announced by the chair umpire in tournament play.
A break point occurs if the receiver, not the server, has a game point. Break points are of particular importance because serving is generally advantageous. A receiver who has two (score of 15-40) or three (score of love-40) consecutive chances to win the game has double break point or triple break point, respectively. As with game, set, and match points, break points are not announced.
A set consists of a sequence of games played with service alternating between games, ending when the count of games won meets certain criteria. Typically, a player wins a set by winning at least six games and at least two games more than the opponent. If one player has won six games and the opponent five, an additional game is played. If the leading player wins that game, the player wins the set 7–5. If the trailing player wins the game, a tie-break is played. A tie-break, played under a separate set of rules, allows one player to win one more game and thus the set, to give a final set score of 7–6. Only in the final sets of matches at the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, the Olympic Games, Davis Cup, and Fed Cup are tie-breaks not played. In these cases, sets are played indefinitely until one player has a two-game lead. A “LOVE” set means that the loser of the set won zero games. In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the winner of the set and the overall score.
In tournament play, the chair UMPIRE announces the end of the match with the well-known phrase “Game, set, match” followed by the winning person’s or team’s name.

Parallel Universes…other dimensions
Dimension – In mathematics and physics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point within it. – Wikipedia
I think there’ s 10 of me living in different universes…have you ever felt like you were not really here, you know like when you’re stuck in a day dream or you’re in a dream state. What if these were forms of parallel universes?
Parallel Universes [the 11th Dimension]
Ok I found dimensions 1-10! Sometimes it feels like some of these 3rd dimensional ”creatures” haha,… are really flatlanders…its all in the mind, get out the box! This video gets kinda deep like trigga-nometry LOL…I got lost in different dimensions ova and ova.
So when you get down to it what do you really need to warp time and space and travel to other dimensions? Answer: Light, speed of light; and how do you accomplish that? …I can’t answer all your questions LOL…BUT all possibilities are contained within the 10th dimension.
