Properties of the number 38

Symbolism

• Referring to the man cured by Jesus at the pool of Bethesda who was infirm since 38 years (Jn 5,5), saint Augustin makes of this number the symbol of the sickness.

• J. Boehme sees there "Lucifer, the will of the Devil".

• Represent the principle of the cosmic or celestial life.

• Represent "the ratio of the individual initiation to the cosmic organization, kind of differentiation resulting from an effort of initiative - 3 + 8 = 11; 1 + 1 = 2", according to R. Allendy.

General

• Among the 49 appearances of Christ to Dozule to a mother of family, 38 times the Son of the Man appears to her directly to entrust to her a particular message.

• The magic squares named "panmagic squares" and that, for Edouard Lucas, we name generally diabolic, have surprising properties: the sum of numbers taken on the partial diagonals equal the magic number. Moreover, if we cut out the square following a line or a column, and that we reconstitute it by putting pieces differently (but without to invert lines and columns) it remains magic. Here is an example of this magic square whose sum gives 38:

                              2 15 5 16
                              9 12 6 11
                             14 3 17  4
                             13 8 10  7
  

Occurrence

• The number 38 is used 5 times in the Bible.

• In the Bible, 38 numbers appear both under their ordinal and cardinal form.

The number 38 keeps showing up

by Anonymous - 3/16/12 10:32 AM

Wow... I had no idea there were other people seeing 38! It has been showing up for me for about 15 years. I have began linking it with the end of something. Usually something that has been around or happening for a very long time. Payments, and even the death of a friend. When it comes to me, I seem bombarded with the number... on a clock, in addresses, in phone numbers, in change. It scares me a bit when it starts to happen but it has been my experience that it is more than simply the end but a new chapter. A clearing out of sorts. I thought maybe I was a little eccentric until I read these comments.

38 and X

by "Cygnus" - 4/04/12 12:23 AM

I have only been seeing this number for a year or two, it started (silly as it may seem) in the videogame Fallout New Vegas, where you can optionally help out a man who is trying to help the world, from a casino called "The Lucky 38." Later, (in real life, not the game) when I got a new job running auto-welding machines to make mufflers, they put me in a department called "U38X." This combined with an ongoing reference I've been seeing (which is, X itself) is what stood out and made me realize it was in a lot of places.

I had recently looked up the constellation Cygnus because of something I'd seen on a documentary, and when I looked it up I found that it's part of the Northern Cross (X?). This combined with 38 being referred to as cosmic/celestial makes me think I'm on the right track, but I'm not sure where to go from here, nor has looking into this actually helped me in any way (that I know of)

The number thirty-eight in Hebrew was written with the letters lamed (authority) and chet (inner chamber, including the heart).{Thirty-Eight (lamed-chet)}. Thirty-eight is the number of work, or labor. It includes the idea of one’s calling, or life’s work and purpose, for this is the true authority that each one possesses in his heart. Can anyone else who is experiencing this correlate it with their job?

I see this number every day, I think it is a code relating to 2012. I believe numbers are conscious entities that coexist with our lives, each number such as 3, 33, 333, 38 11 22 etc has their own personality that lives vicariously with us. 3 runs my life and all I can tell you is that we are waking up.

38, 30 hate?

by &e - 11/11/12 11:11 PM

I've been seeing this number for about 14 years now. Eventually my friends also started noticing it all the time. Every time I look at the clock it's ?:38. It shows up in sports games in scores and jerseys way too much to be ignored as well. There have been many other strange occurrences with it. I even find that when I see license plates or look at certain UPC/bar codes it is there or the numbers usually add up to it's sum. People say "well you're looking for it" and things of that nature, but I know this number means something to me, along with 22. My birthdate is August 22, 1983. 22 is my lucky numeber, and I thought 38 was an unlucky number for me. I have more recently tried to have a positive outlook on it. I always knew there was something special with it. I have been looking for answers in my life lately more than ever and read way too much into theories and hate those in power. I hope they don't have some strange control over us with our obsession with 38. It's good to know there are others out there that feel the same way I do with this magic #.

I see 38 everywhere

by Anonymous - 5/13/12 10:06 AM

I see 38 everywhere. My addresses always have 3 and 8 in. My social security number has 3 and 8. Even the security code on the back of my debit cards 3nd in 38, even the replacement. Everytime I look at the clock its whatever time and :38 minutes. It's so weird. It's so weird to the point that other people I tell this to believe that they have a number too and we make it a game. I realized that my niece is followed by 11. She was born on the 11th month, 11th day. She graduated in 2011. Her cheerleeding number on her uniform was 11. The college that she goes to, the founding year ends in 11. It so weird.

hmm. Very interesting. I had searched for the meaning of this number before however always missed this site. Along with you all, I too have been followed by this number. in 2000 i was given the number by an employer to be able to differentiate what clients I had spoken to, or sold. My i.d was 338 years later it was switched to just 38. Since then I started seeing the number everywhere. (perhaps because i was looking for it) I dunno. I havn't been at that job for 5 yrs now and still see it everywhere. Clocks mostly. It just seems that i'm looking at the clock right at 3:38 when i do. Or i'm arriving at places at either 3:37 or right at 3:38. Its weird that it gives me a feeling.. a good feeling that for that moment all is right or that i am heading in the right direction. How is this so? How is a number able to resonate within and give me a sense of well being? I'm glad i am not alone in this since at times it seems like a silly thing.

I thought perhaps the 38 stood for "BE" the 8 acting as the... more...

Number 38

by 38 - 3/25/12 2:45 PM

I have had the number 38 in my life for quite some time now. Just like some of the comments below, 38 is involved in many things in my life. The first that I can recall is my sons football number. He had this number for 5 years. When he did not get this number in high school there was a sense of saddness that followed. My house number is 38. How my husband and I came to own this house was a mystery. The house was off the market, another couple had placed a bid on it. We were not even looking at this house when the real estate agent said another house just became available and the price was lowered significantly. We placed a bid on the house and moved in 38 days later. I will be 38 this year and the number 38 shows up on clocks, phones, anything electronic. As I have read in other comments, this is the number of sickness, however I do not feel anything negative toward this number. This number offers me peace. I am comforted by this number. Please, please please - what does this all mean?

38 or 3+8

by ??? - 3/23/12 8:20 PM

Ok so t first I was seeing the number 3 everywhere, I sit. At table 3 in 3rd block and I see it at church too. Recently I have also seen the number 8 as well also in 3rd block and at church a lot too, one day a visitor came I had never seen before he had the number 38 tattooed on the back of his neck and I only sat behind him becuz "coincidentally" we were late that day and those were the only seats together.I figured 38 or 83 must mean something if so many people r seeing it too. Somebody please explain...

I have been infactuated with the number 8 since 2006. I see it as my lucky number and see it everywhere, I recently tattooed the number 38 on my inner left shoulder. It seems to bring me good luck and strength and i find it odd because most say its the number of sickness and bad luck but I am infactuated by it. 3 to me stands for my sisters and I and 8 because its my lucky number.

This number has been showing up all my life. In my name k-11 a-1 r-18 a-1. If you leave the 11 as a master number the rest makes 38 or 11. I was born at 5:38 am. As everyone else, I see it everywhere. It is unexpected and it can make you wonder if you are crazy but once I started doing some research I felt comforted by this number. It is definitely apart of me. What has encouraged me is that I have realized that my developing my spirituality and practicing meditation I just have this feeling that something great will be revealed to me. It has gotten really bad sometimes where it feels like harassment. Then other times it is not as often. My experience with the number 38 is like the movie Number 23 with Jim Carey just without the killing stuff. But i definitely see it everywhere. It is also like what had happened in the movie The Knowing with Nickolas Cage. I see other number combinations with the number 38 and I have learned to read the numbers. I know one thing it is definitely comforting to know I am not the only one. Thank you every one for sharing.

significance of both the three and eight

by JB3am3r - 11/24/11 8:24 AM

i was thinkin and if you look at a three it is half an eight or an eight cut in half. to some the eight represents infinity, so the 3 would be the partial part of infinity. Yeah, 3 can represent partial life that isn't complete or eternal. and eight can equal or life in heaven forever. and together they represent our total life being a limited man on earth, and a spiritual citizen in heaven

The cycle of the Platonic Earth year is comming to close.Great Mother Earth wishes from Us to help Her give a rebirth and help our self's to reborn.We can Help,by Loving Her and become as Motherly,as she has being for Us all this years to provide for our existence.Music is our Cosmic connection.We are asked to listen this time deeper,with all 8 senses,not only ears and open to the cosmic vibrations.Than Sing/Tone the Earth daily Tone "G".Than "Tune IN" our selfs with "C"sharp,the tone of an Earth year,to help us achive Harmony of our Soul,"sublime indifference", a state beyond the emotions of the Soul and than connect with the tone "F",the tone of the Earth Platonic year, corresponding aproximetly to the tone of the double Star Sirius. "F" is in the 38 Octave.
This makes 3 Tones of a Trinity in the 8 octave = 38.As well there is a new Heavenly Music to come in 3/8th's.38 It is allover the World,cant escape from my face and Heart...I made a symbol-sketch,so inspired..with 3,as a UNITED Trinity and 8,as the... more...
