Properties of the number 20

Symbolism

• Represent the God solar for the Mayas.

• Represent "the fundamental differentiation which creates in the world two relatively antagonistic poles, and particularly the opposition: spirit-matter", according to R. Allendy.

• J. Boehme calls this number "the Devil", that is to say the material world opposed to the spiritual world.

• The number 20 is considered as ominous for saint Jerome because it indicates the universal fight, but it also represents the source of all energy of the world.

• This number is represented in Hebrew by the letter caph, in form of opened hand, to seize and hold. The eleventh mystery of the Tarot, which corresponds to this letter, and consequently with this number, is "the Force" which expresses energy, the activity, the work, according to R. Allendy.

• Number associated to the resurrection or to the reincarnation, according to Creusot.

Bible

• Samson had judged Israel for twenty years. (Jg 16,31)

• Under the commandment of Elisha, twenty barley loaves are enough to feed hundred persons. (2 K 4,42-44)

• God asked Moses to make the census of all the community of Israelis being twenty years old and more. (Nb 1,3)

• Jacob spent twenty years at Laban before to escape. (Gn 31,38)

General

• The devout of Krishna (whose it is told, in the Hindu religion, that he is one of the incarnations of Vichnou) prostrate, the face against ground, twenty times per day, in front of images of Krishna and in front of A.C. Bhaktivedante Swami Prabhupada, born in 1895, to who his believers attribute him a sixty of works, of which a translation of the "Bhagabad Gitâ" (The Song of the Blissful), poem Sanskrit of the 3rd century, in which is exposed the Hindu dogma of the universal soul - Atman.

• One month in the religious calendar Maya contained twenty days.

• The twenty volumes, named Nackas, of the Zend-Avesta (theological and philosophical books) which is the work of Zarathustra.

• According to the French book "La cybernétique des sens - ou si l'homme voulait" (The cybernetics of senses - or if the man wanted), Jose Jazan and John Rollet speak about "the Man factorial 5". They distinguish the "5 mental or subjective senses" and the "5 objective or physiological senses". These 10 senses act in two directions: from the man towards the outside and outside towards the man, giving 20 senses, as we have 4 times 5 fingers.

• Mathematical base (vigesimal numeration) in which worked the Gallic and the Mayas.

• Magic square of 20:

                     8 6 4 2
                     4 2 8 6
                     2 4 6 8
                     6 8 2 4

REPLY TO Andrew : 20

You don't need to worry about it. It is not the number coming after you, but instead, you running after that number subconsciously. It is like you schedule yourself repeatedly to wake up in the morning at a specific time, that will work also, isn't it? :) because you actually wait for the time to come, but subconciously. I had the same experience but with double digits every time and everywhere like 22:22, 12:55, 11:33. Only when I stoped paying attention to it, only then it left me alone, because I was the one obsessed with those numbers, not the numbers with me :). So stop that bothering, "let it go" and you will understand.
Best wishes.

numbers and accurances

by Mercia - 10/10/12 8:53 AM

one day at 10:10 in the morning, I noticed a car following me. Upon telling my husband, he said: "relax, you are imagining it". That same day at 13:13 I noticed the same car infront of my shop and thought not to tell someone, because they will think I'm paranoid, then at 20:20 that night I was attacked and held at gun point...Did the numbers and the fact that I saw it in doubles on my watch mean anything, and why 4 years later I am constantly reminded by a force of double displayed numbers.

I was born on December 20th, the day before the winter solstice and the Mayan apocalypse, when I was supposed to be born a month later. My full name has twenty letters. My mother was twenty when she gave birth to me. AND I was twenty inches long at birth. I joke and tell my friends that I am the "chosen one."

I was born on 10/10/1991 (October 10th 1991) and just thought that it was kind of wierd that the sums of the first two numbers of my birthdate as well as the sums of the last four numbers in my birth year both add up to twenty. Overall, I'm wondering if there's any websites which give explantions for akward birthdates.

Yesterday I looked up the number 11. It took me to the sight of the 9/11 N.Y. story from ten years ago. I realized 11 years after 2001 is 2012, and that the number 11 is associated with the word Sin, evil ect. The number 12 means completion. I looked up the meaning of 20, and added altogether is a comeing of understanding that the spirit world is reaching out to your spirit to be prepared. I didn't realize I see 20 almost as much as 11 whenever I glance at the clock. I see that the year 2012 will be a huge turning point and whats to say I think we all on this site are excited and nearly ready for a change.Happy soul searching.

20 Magpies and 20 Spiders

by Anonymous - 7/14/11 6:33 AM

A few days ago i dreamt of 20 money spiders on my legs. I was not frightened because i understood that the spiders were good.

Then last night i dreamt of 20 magpies in a tree.

Any suggestions? I have my interpretation, but i am curious for other peoples.
