By a remarkable synchronicity, after posting my last post, I found myself watching an old
Ancient Aliens TV show on the significance of the number 12. Before building upon what I said in the last post, I thought I would quote again what Ark had said in the December 1998 session previously referred to:
Q: (A) Now, this all has something to do with gravity, and at
some point you said that all this gravity/anti-gravity business
is just the way, and that the main goal is to attain higher
knowledge. What is this higher knowledge; what kind of
higher knowledge?
As Ark rightly asks, what is the higher knowledge the C's are referring to? I would venture a guess that it is not just knowledge of higher physics but metaphysical knowledge as well, which up to now may have been preserved solely within esoteric circles such as the ancient mystery schools and in secret societies such as the Illuminati and Rosicrucians.
The Ancient Aliens show (great show by the way for those who have not watched it) asked the question what is it that has attached such significance to the number 12 in religion, history and esoterica over the millennia? Here are just some of the themes in which the number 12 features:
1. There were 12 Apostles
2. There were 12 Knights of the Round Table
3. There were 12 Tribes of Israel
4. There were 12 Olympian Gods who 12 Titans
5. There were 12 members of the US Majestic 12 (MJ-12)
6. There were 12 gates to the New Jerusalem described in Saint John's Apocalypse (3 on each side of a cube}
7. There are 12 Vile Vortices on the Earth as described by Ivan Sanderson, all equidistant from each other (see
12 Vile Vortices: The Geometric Anomalies of Ivan Sanderson) including the infamous Bermuda Triangle.
As for other
Stone Circles having 12 large standing stones besides Stennes, which I have previously mentioned, there is:
1.The
12 Apostles at Ilkley Moor, West Yorkshire, England. See:
en.wikipedia.org
2.
The Callanish Stones in the Hebrides, Scotland. See:
Callanish Stones - Wikipedia (the 13th Stone is a Monolith in the middle of the circle)
3.
Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, there are a number of stone circles, each with 12 T-shaped stones and two large monoliths in the centre. This is the oldest known stone circle complex in the world, dating back to at least 9,500 BC and perhaps the first after the Deluge.
Religion
In the Bible,
Moses erected 12 standing stones after he had received the 10 Commandments from God on Mount Sinai.
Similarly,
Joshua commanded the Israelites to erect twelve stones taken from the middle of the River Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, which were placed where the priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant stood.
Finally, the
Prophet Elijah erected 12 stones (again representing the Tribes of Israel), which he used to build an altar, when he defeated the priests of the Philistine god Baal in a spiritual showdown on Mount Carmel.
Music
Coming back to Pythagoras, he was one of the first to seriously study both music and the planets together. Pythagoras concluded that each of the planets, through their orbits, must produce a particular note according to its distance from an immovable centre (Earth). This led him to describe what he called the '
Music of the Spheres', which refers to the intertwined relationship between the structures of music and those of the physical world. As mentioned before, Pythagoras' Music of the Spheres theory truly became real when NASA took the electromagnetic signals coming from the planets and converted them to human sounds. As for music, there are 12 notes (12 semitones) in the Western musical scale and an octave is usually split into 12 notes.
As for the planets, although there are 9 known planets (8 now that Pluto has been relegated to minor planet status), the C's have told us that there are in fact 12 (including Pluto).
The Sumerians
The Sumerians and the later Babylonians used a 60 base arithmetic system rather than the base 10 we use today. Interestingly, they used their fingers and knuckles to count to 12.
Could this be because their Annunaki overlords had six digits? Certainly the Nephilim were supposed to have had six fingers and six toes on their hands and feet respectively. This matter is expressly mentioned in the Bible in relation to
Goliath (one of the last of the giants) in the story of his battle with the young David. However, this feature is not unique to the ancient Nephilim since the
Waorani People who are Amerindians from the Amazonian Region of Ecuador have been found to have six fingers and six toes. Tests on their brains show they are hardwired to use the extra digit. Apparently, one in a thousand births produce people who have polydactylism, i.e., more than five fingers or toes.
Physics
The Standard Model of Physics postulates that there are 12 fundamental or elementary particles, the twelfth being the Higgs-Boson discovered ironically on 2012.
The brilliant German theoretical physicist
Burkhard Heim's Unified Field Theory was predicated on 12 dimensions. I believe his theory was at one stage mentioned by Ark in the transcripts, so I assume Ark is familiar with his work, which is far more metaphysical than that of most modern physicists. For those who may be interested, I attach a pdf copy of the transcript of a presentation he gave in 1976 setting out his basic thoughts on a unified field theory of matter and gravity.

Finally, in 2003, nearly five years after the C's exchange with Ark in December 1998, new findings by NASA based on data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) revealed that the shape of the universe is a
Dodecahedron based on Phi, the Golden Ratio. A Dodecahedron is a
12 sided polyhedron. The connection to Phi is found in the Pentagons that form the faces of the Dodecahedron. A dodecahedron consists of twelve pentagons. Take a pentagon and connect all the points to form a 5-pointed star. The ratios of the lengths of the resulting line segments are all based on Phi, 1.618.
I am not sure if this theory has been refuted yet. Maybe someone on the Forum who is well up on this area of physics could comment on the matter.
For the time being, I attach a paper with the title '
Dodecahedral space topology as an explanation for weak wide-angle temperature correlations in the cosmic microwave background' by Jean-Pierre Luminet, Jeffrey R. Weeks , Alain Riazuelo , Roland Lehoucq & Jean-Philippe Uzan published in Nature Magazine in 2003 for those who may be interested.
