It’s interesting, Ayesha Talib Wissanji , that you brought up numerology. In years past numerology would have been the first thing I would do in regards to investigating something. I used to be a numerology practitioner but I have pretty much given that up in recent years. The immediate reaction to “do the numerology” on something has slowly faded away.
I have always used the ancient Chaldean-Kabbalah system of numerology. In that system the word, Mandalay, reduces down to a 2, the number associated with imagination, dreams, childbirth, sensitivity, and ‘the shadow of fear.’ It resonates to the sign of Cancer and in the human body it correlates to the stomach and female breasts. 2 resonates to the moon.
When you add, Bay, to Mandalay the numerology reduces to 6, the number of female energy, love, romance, and MONEY. 6 is a number of attraction that calls forth romance and MONEY. In the body, 6 correlates to the throat area. 6 resonates to Venus.
When you add, Myanmar, to Mandalay you get 11 which further reduces to a 2 and we’re right back to 2. (The number 11 is a powerful double number symbolized by ‘The Clenched Fist’ and can resonate either to incompatibility or harmonious union. Whenever a double number appears, its meaning is added to the reduced number.)
The shooter, Stephen Paddock’s name reduces to a 1. 1 resonates to creativity, benevolence and a very strong sense of self-worth. (And an extreme dislike of criticism.) 1 resonates to the sun and to Leo. Curiously, his name numerology resonates more to Mandalay, Myanmar than Mandala Bay.
The shooting occurred on the first day of October so we have another 1 there (although the full date numerology would be a 3). And it happened on a Sunday which also resonates to the number 1, the sun, and to Leo.
The big missing ingredient is Stephen Paddock’s birthday which I was unable to find. That info could reveal many connections with the other numbers.
We could look for connections in the numbers until we’re blue in the face. I’ve merely presented a cursory listing of some of the numbers at play. Interestingly, The New York Times came out with an article that called Stephen Paddock a, ‘numbers guy.’ He was apparently really good with numbers which helps explain his success at gambling (and real estate).
When I have time I may be inclined to get into the mental frame of mind to really look into this but for now I’ll just let it soak in and I’ll come back if I see something significant.
As for Nostradamus, I don’t think he really used that idea you mentioned in his prophecies. I’ve always been convinced that he aligned himself with the vibratory resonance of the gestalt of the Roman Church. That’s why his predictions only went so far into the future; because they were tuned into the limited lifespan of the Church.
Speaking of Nostradamus, I wrote a short story that is very, very loosely based on him. Maybe I should get around to publishing it here. I’m not sure why I never have.
Thanks, Ayesha for triggering some dormant parts of my noggin.
