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

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 goldfish in a dream, one dies or disappears and is replaced

by Anonymous - 6/29/11 1:01 AM

Can anybody help me interpret this dream? I dreamt that I had 20 goldfish to look after, one disappeared or died. I then replaced it and tried to find dishes to put each individual goldfish in as I didnt have a tank. Some where too shallow and I worried this fish might not be able to breath. My initial thought when I woke up was that I might come into money, but now I'm worried it might be something else.

I have been seeing the numbers 420 for a very long time!

by Markymarksabs - 4/06/11 11:00 PM

I am so glad to find this site, i really felt like there has to be something more to these 420 sighting but U can not pin point it. I see the numbers when I randomly look at my cel phone, on license plates, street numbers, and most the time I look at the clock. I recently started to see 3:20 and well.I find this interesting because according to numerology 4:20=6 and so does 3:20=6. I can't help but wonder if this is a sign. Please do your research on Youtube regarding the illuminati and the illuminari and educate yourself on the new world order. Also Youtube "music industry exposed" I am not one to generally say that evil is all around us, I am not even a church goer, but I do know one thing, things in this world, from the music, the the tv shows that we watch, from the food that we are eating, to the leaders of our nation, are not what they seem. Please do your research and maybe we are all part of a bigger picture in the fight for good vs evil.

I see 420 everywhere too. I spoke with a Tibetan Lama who said it is an autonomous non sentient collection of past events the manifest into an energy. AKA, a demon. In Tibetan it is called "dza." When I was on retreat at 4:20p a door slammed loudly and the next day there was a report a mother and her child were swept out to sea by a freak wave at 4:20p. My teacher explained that it builds on fear and grasping at it as real. One must be very careful.

As I sit here I recognize what is happening. There is going to be a major shift in our spiritual awareness. This 420 demon represents the pull of the material world. Those who can let go of it will ascend. Those who cannot will suffer the tortures of the 420 demon. But those tortures are ultimately for the cause of realizing the nature of suffering in existence so that one can learn to let go.

Still seeing the number 20 after a good year now. Important events happened involving the number 20, my daughter was born at 5:20pm, my baby cousin was born January 20,and my expecting cousing is due 4/20 and ext. I use to see the number on a constant basis everywhere I went, but now I'm just starting to relate the number with dates,because when I did look at the time it would say like 1:20 and the occurance of my baby cousing being bornon January 20th means something good has to be.Now I keep seeing the number 6:20, and that is the day Im going on a week's vacation, in June gotta mean something right?

im sure u will live past 20 i have been seeing the number 20 for the last 2 years now and im now 31 so im sure age doesnt play as too much of a factor. but what im finding strange is now instead of it being 20 now when i look at the clock im seeing 21 and this has been alternating with 20 for the last few weeks i feel a change comming but im not sure exactly what to expect i just feel it in the air. just dont focus on ur fears of the number after all it is just a number but trust that u r part of something and stop resisting the changes that r necessary for u to understand and continue to move foreward. u will find u r supported in ways u never saw comming.

My first son 3 1/2 months old died on February 20th. My 14 year old son was hit by a truck and was dead in the road on February 20th. Praise God, he was resurrected by a lady from HI and took a wrong turn. Also, this was twenty years to the day when my first son died. I believe Jesus is coming 2012-my son suffered a diffused axonal tramatic brain injury and he was healed. Only 2% are healed on this brain injury. Think about your life and give in to Jesus before it is too late for you. Ask him in your life-it's a wonderful life by the way...
