The Crucifixion literally represents the Cartesian coordinate system of graphing. You have the vertical “y†axis and the horizontal “x†axis. Interestingly you also have the genome of “XY†which determines maleness – ie, “mankind†or the prototypical man, Adam - which is intended to mean that what a man is is a location in space and time. Because in graphing, you usually represent one axis as “time†and delineate with the other “distance,†etc.
The trick of Jesus is that he recognized that time-space, the xy axis of the graph itself is actually the bars of the Black Iron Prison. His power over the Black Iron prison is that he lies “in between two thieves.†We said elsewhere that the thieves are the two eyes, but they are also the two zeros which signifiy the origin of the graph, coordinates of “(0,0)â€. The zeros are “thieves†because they themselves have no property other than as a place-holder – they take another numeral’s else’s space. So for Jesus to be crucified on a cross “between two thieves†is not only to indicate that he is at the origin of the x-y axis, but that he is actually literally between the zeros. He is the comma itself. And the comma has no numerical value within the graphing process. It is overlooked by the empire as unimportant and meaningless, a separator between two things that have real measurable quantifiable value. Meanwhile the comma floats across the entire coordinate system of the graph. It cannot be pinned down. It is everywhere and nowhere. The Holy Spirit.
Also see the Greek cross which predates the Latin cross, had four arms of equal length and “was not intended to represent the cross of the crucifixion, but instead, the four directions of the earth, representing the spread of the gospel, and the four platonic elements.”

absolutely preposterous, yet totally fascinating!
Apparently I wasn’t the only one pondering the meaning of thecross last night…
Wow. nice.
brilliant tim!
Thanks! I actually thought this up over the weekend fuj. And pmp, yeah I agree it is absurd, but its too cool not to consider on some level regardless
Thats pretty profound…. good insight Tim
No better way to take the Empire by surprise has been thought up yet.
1. Yes.
2. Can I have some of what you’re smoking?
That thing about zero is off-the-chart.
3. I have wondered for a while about the link between the symbolism of the cross and the four Elements of antiquity (which do correspond exactly with the four States of modern science). The symbol of the Mandala (equi-axed cross in a circle), which represents peace, wisdom etc., seems a bridge between the two.
Do you see the comma, then, a kind of fifth element? (traditionally identified as the Philosopher’s Stone, the Grail etc.)
Note that the contemporary Christian cross has a long tail. And what about the Egyptian ankh, where one tail is as if split into two? And early Celtic crosses were always placed in a circle. (The British Museum had a big pile of them a while back, but I wasn’t brave enough to ask the curators /why/. And /when/ they stopped doing it.)
My own view (hunch, intuition, whatever) is that one of the tails of the cross is indeed twin, making five, but it is largely beyond our ken to see it. It’s like the way we each have five fingers, but only (so I am told) four control circuits, which leads to the fourth finger being ‘lazy’. (Unless you hurt your hand, when the bizarrest thing will happen and your hurt finger will go ‘lazy’ while the others take up the work.)
(And then there’s the Chi-Rho, a compound letter of antiquity representing the Christ, consisiting of a cross with one arm rounded into a ‘P’ shape)
The Cross also graphically depicts the trinity and the manifestation of multiplicity from unity. The vertical/active/male and horizontal/passive/female copulate to produce the manifest universe.
See John Dee’s Hieroglyphic Monad, Theorems XVI, XVII, and XX. This illustrates how the two primary aspects of Unity, necessitate the mainfestation of the third, then the fourth. This corresponds to the scheme shown in the Pythagorean tetractys.
Numerologically, 1+2+3+4=10=1+0=1, the Sephiroth, the enneagram, the tetractys, the Decad, also the Papal cross. (side note, the 1 2 3 4 numerological pattern shows up in ANY number base, as Buckminster Fuller showed.
Oh, I haven’t read it yet, but The Symbolism of the Cross, by Rene Guenon, will almost certainly be worthwhile.
I heard that a cartoon in the UVA newspaper got in deep shit about making some math joke with Jesus crucified on the X and Y axis…
Got any links on it?
