Trigrams used in Chinese and Japanese divination and symbolism
*** The work of Christ Jesus, "The Way - The Truth - And the life," has three main divisions;
(1) The preaching of the Word
(2) The revelation through Signs and Wonders
(3) And the realization through by means of the Passion.
*** The Eleusian mysteries imply three levels of meaning according to Pail Diel: (1) Agrarian (2) Psychological (3) Metaphysical
*** It has been indicated that the neophyte of the Ephesian mysteries had to grasp the meaning of the logos (word), that this world- creating Word revealed itself concretely through its 3-fold intonation of the vowels: I-O-A, vowels which were the subject of meditation.
Om, in Hinduism and other religions chiefly of India, a sacred syllable that is considered to be the greatest of all the mantras, or sacred formulas. The symbol Om is composed of the three sounds a-u-m (in Sanskrit, the vowels a and u coalesce to become o), which represent several important triads: the three worlds of earth, atmosphere, and heaven; the three major Hindu gods, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva; and the three sacred Vedic scriptures, Rg, Yajur, and Soma. Thus Om mystically embodies the essence of the entire universe. It is uttered at the beginning and end of Hindu prayers, chants, and meditations and is freely used in Buddhist and Jaina ritual also. From the 6th century, the written symbol designating the sound is used to mark the beginning of a text in a manuscript or an inscription. The syllable is discussed in a number of the Upanishads, which are the texts of philosophical speculation, and it forms the entire subject matter of one, the Mandukya. It is used in the practice of Yoga and is related to techniques of auditory meditation. In the Puranas the syllable is put to sectarian use; thus the Saiva mark the lingam, or sign of Siva, with the symbol for Om, whereas the Vaishnava identify the three sounds as referring to a trinity composed of Vishnu, his wife Sri, and the worshipper.
This number ("3") also is an expression of the social order in its fullness and particularly the threefold structure of Indo-European society. According to Georges Dumezil, if all social structures are analyzed, it will be found that this threefold division only evolved into an all embracing world-view and value structure among particular peoples. Although its origins are unknown, this threefold division of duties or orders is perfectly clear. It is given expression in various triads which easily embrace religion, warfare and work; kingship, martial strength and fecundity; the priesthood, power and productivity; priests, warriors and producers (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva); Brahmans, Kshatriyas (warriors) and Vaishyas (farmers and merchants), Shudras or slaves being as it were outcasts; Jupiter, Mars and Quirinus; Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches; the senatorial, equestrian and plebeian orders. Interaction takes place between the socio-political and the mythological organizations, each structure being reflected in the other, but they do not always develop at the same pace. Myth changes more slowly than reality, although sometimes it may anticipate it.

*** Salem Witchcraft Trials: Fear of witches reached panic proportions after:

*** Myvyrian Archaeology cites King Arthur as saying: I have three heroes in battle, Mael the tall - Llyr, with his army - Caradoc, pillar of Wales. He also names 3 Bards of Britain: Merlin Ambrose - Merlin the son of Morfyn, called also Merlin the Wild - Taliesin, chief of the bards; 3 golden-tongued knights: Gawain, son of Gwyar - Drydvas, son of Tryphin - Eliwlod, son of Madag, and Uther; 3 honorable feasts of Britain: Feast of Caswallaun, after repelling Julius Caesar from the isle - Feast of Aurelius Ambrosius, after he conquered the Saxons - Feast of King Arthur, at Carleon upon Usk.

| Three Wise Men came to me with three gifts, on Christmas morn they had followed a star to see the saviour-king who was newly born And when I was a young child exploring the world as a child plays I got lost for three days but within a home of God, I smiled A spirit led me into the wilderness to be three times tempted by the Devil Satan wanted to make me one of his but I gave visiting angels my soul I taught so that all might remember- "to Ask, to Seek and to Knock" for with these keys, all things surrender and Heaven's doors unlock I was 3 times ten plus 3 years old speaking out for Faith, Hope & Charity some thought me evil, others called me bold but what I did, I did for thee "I am not," was all that Peter would say when asked if he is one of my disciples his third denial came after I was led away, before the moment a cock crows Many think I dropped the cross three times on the way to my crucifixion and with two others found guilty of crimes, |
that 3 of us had embarked towards
Heaven It is believed that three nails were used to bind each hand and both feet - my executioners expected to be abused but with words like these I chose to speak: "And though my flesh deeply pangs for water while blood also trickles from each hand, please forgive them oh Father for they do not understand" It was Pilate who inscribed above my head, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, on a wooden plaque that could be read: 'Jesus the Nazarene the King of every Jew' When at 3 o'clock, I was to take my leave so that future generations might believe, some say I said this simple phrase of three: One nearby, rushed up to me with a sponge soaked in sour wine but others around said "Let him be!", to see if God would save me in time It was on the third day that I rose after having been crucified and every kind-hearted person knows, it was for each of you that I died Three women with spices sweet, came to soothe their hearts by anointing me |
but I had gone before them, to Galilee for it is there we were to meet To my disciples behind shut doors, I came twice to be heard then near the sea of the Tiberieas shores, meant this visit was my third I asked Simon Peter three questions knowing he would answer the same my undying love was given in these lessons, so that all the future might gain All authority in Heaven and on Earth had been given to me on the day, that I had known since my birth I would be ascending with yet much to say but, so that all nations might realize hoping all peoples would come to hear it my disciples were sent out to baptize, "in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit" Like a thief in the night, I am to come unto you though some believe this untrue, I pray your heart shines my light Tis not a mystical coincidence that my life's story has patterns-of-three you must come to know of its significance as my love for you has not forsaken thee. |

(The right hemisphere imaginatively attempts to construct a representational image of an individual's transitional psycho-maturational development from a 2 to a 3-patterned (conscious) focus. The right hemisphere is attempting (with the "tools"/attributes that are specific to its processing ability,) to "understand" the-individualized 3-patterned left hemispheric metamorphoses that for some, can be quite painful, distressing, or lead them to falsely consider-they are going insane. All the pain, distress, and (false) claims of feeling oneself going insane (from divulging or keeping to oneself the variety of images made available to consciousness through the use of metaphor, imagery, and "mirage"- like allusions,) are because humanity does not yet appreciate the processes of evolutionary development with respect to a 1-2-3 maturation-developing consciousness. Instead, their unwarranted fears attempt to suppress their individualized psycho-maturational evolution by way of drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, religion, etc . . .)
