Irish scientist (1901-1971)
Missing: 2, 3, 4, 6. Present digits repeat to show how many times they occur.
Eight is the number of material consequence — authority, money, scale, the machinery that makes things actually happen. Tradition reads it as unusually comfortable with leverage and unusually clear-eyed about what things cost. It carries the sharpest warning of the nine: 8 is described as the number most able to build something large and most able to be consumed by it, with the reading turning on whether the power is aimed at anything beyond itself.
The 7-8-9 column complete. Read as drive that has both the wish and the machinery — the traditional marker of someone who converts intention into position.
The 1-5-9 diagonal complete. Read as determination that survives the middle of a project, when the initial energy has gone and the result is not yet visible.
Concentrated self-direction. Read as conviction that does not need external agreement — and does not always seek it.
Read as bluntness: reaching the conclusion without the intermediate handling. The tradition frames this as a timing gap rather than a lack of feeling.
Read as difficulty getting the inner picture out — the thought is complete, the expression lags. Often described in people whose written voice is far stronger than their spoken one.
Read as impatience with structure and maintenance. Associated with starting well and leaving the scaffolding to someone else.
Read as a complicated relationship with obligation — either avoiding it or over-shouldering it, rarely a settled middle.
Moolank 1 comes from the day of the month alone; Bhagyank 8 from the whole date. They differ, which is the ordinary case — the two numbers answer different questions.
The Sun. Authority, visibility, the self as centre. Read as leadership that is seen.
Bhagyank uses the same arithmetic as the Western life path, so the two will always agree. That is not two traditions confirming each other — it is one calculation under two names.
If Engels had not been the constant companion in arms of Marx in the revolutionary struggles of the 19th century, there is no doubt that he would be remembered chiefly as one of the foremost scientist-philosophers of the century. It was an ironical tribute paid to the correctness of his views as to the relations between politics and ideology that he suffered complete neglect from the scientists of the Victorian age. But time now has taken its revenge, and Engels' contemporary views on 19th century science seem to us now in the 20th far more fresh and filled with understanding than those of the professional philosophers of science of his day, who for the most part are completely forgotten, while the few that linger on, such as Lange and Herbert Spencer, are only quoted as examples of the limitations of their times.
One of the questions on which clarity of thinking is now most necessary is that of the relation between the methods of science and of Marxist philosophy. Although much has already been written on the subject, yet there is still an enormous amount of confusion and contradictory statement.
In the decade after the war Freud's theories dominated the narrow circles of British intellectuals. His psycho-analysis was accepted warmly for many reasons. It was new and exciting, it was shocking, it debunked religion and morals, it promised an internal liberation from all restraints. Nevertheless, it was essentially a creed of escape into an inner world of complexes and repressions and away from social and economic realities.
But if capitalism had built up science as a productive force, the very character of the new mode of production was serving to make capitalism itself unnecessary.
Life is a partial, continuous, progressive, multiform and conditionally interactive self-realization of the potentialities of atomic electron states.
The central industry of modern civilisation, tending, because of its control over materials, to spread into and ultimately incorporate older industries such as mining, smelting, oil- refining, textiles, rubber, building, and even agriculture in respect to fertilizers and food processing.
