Eugene Carpenter and others have been saying interesting things about numbers,
the significance of Zero, and One. I just thought I would throw in ( there was a
reference to binary arithmetic, that I find it interesting to consider the the
numbers 1 through seven in binary form (using three bits) written under each
other.
Knowing the unfortunate effects of formatting in eMail I'm reluctant to do it
here, but as most of you will well know (but I don't want to mystify any who
don't :-) ) the sequence is 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111. My point is that
the leftmost position is zero for the upper triad, and 1 for the lower
quaternary. Also the alternating polarity idea for the levels (planes of
consciousness or whatever term you prefer) gets some support from the rightmost
column.
It may of course be just coincidence? :-) but its interesting, at lest to me; so
I thought I'd share it.

Charles Sitwell.
