    I'll just deal with 8 for now.

    To me, it symbolizes BIRTH of a son from a mother and hightened INTIMACY between the two opposite-sized, PERFECT beings.

    As for my noticing of 222 back in the day...

    2 X 2 X 2 = 8!

    Wait! One more...

    As for my noticing of 23 and 32 nowadays...

    2 X 3 = 6!

    3 X 2 = 6!

    To me, 6 symbolizes a male by sex organ and a female by sex organ, sharing a pleasurous, sexual bonding.

    There's only 1 and 0, off and on. Something and nothing.

    It's almost like a yin and yang type number. They oppose each other in a symmetrical way. I feel like there is something else about that number that was meaningful to me but its not coming to me at the moment... :confused:

    To me there just digits to count with. Except when I get a Blackjack, then it pays me 3 to 2.

    7 strikes fear in the hearts of all the other single digits. Why? Because seven ate nine.

    7 would be the only one that holds any significance to me, as it was my childhood heros number. Mr. John Elway.

    i think we have a number system based on 10 because we have 10 fingers. obviously we started counting fingers first, and then put that onto paper. if we only had 6 or 8 our numerical system would be very different. plus my can opener would look really weird.

    5 symbolizes 3 to me, and 8 symbolizes the number 52.

    5 is a good number for hi and bye , as in fingers .
    so in my philosophy i like 5 and draw it as a star of
    5 radiant lines . sometimes i'll paint this on a rock
    and then it is not at all a counting word . to a child
    the five of the open hand is the first symbol for human
    unity .

    *

    a zero as a petroglyph traditionally means space , a place ,
    having a defined boundary . home . the womb .

    three is fundamental to geometric structure , and nine like
    a pyramid is strong .
