AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, THIS PAGE AND MOST OF THE OTHERS IN THE QUADRAGENDTA DOISM COLLECTION OF WEBSITES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. BUT, AS SURE AS THE HEDGEHOG DANCES, THIS PAGE WILL BE COMPLETED SOMETIME IN THE RELATIVELY NEAR FUTURE. I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT CHECKING BACK EVERY 5, OR EVEN SEVEN MINUTES FOR THAT MATTER, WILL NOT SPEED THE PROCESS. BUT IT WILL GET US VERY EXCITED BECAUSE IT WILL LOOK LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SCOPING OUT OUR SITE. SO, PLEASE, MAKE OUR DAY!
FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE IMPORTANT IN LIFE AND JUST KEEP ON CLICKING THE "REFRESH" BUTTON. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOU CLICK IT SOMETHING NEW WILL BE UP! GIVE IT A TRY! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO...
No one can dispute the representation of evil by the number 6, nor the good that is captured by the two syllables of "seven." But these two numbers together should surely become compatible somehow, should surely represent the equilibrium forces in some way.
Behold, the mode of incompatibility: addition. For in the addition of two numbers, two quanta are merely attached together, with no true blending of their qualities. Hence the unstable nature of 6+7=13, the evil-ness of it, and the way that 13 will turn their back on its bearer(s).
Behold you now the method of the compatibility of 6 and 7, of light and dark, yin and yang, good and evil: multiplication. For in multiplication, two quantities are blended together like fruit smoothies. The badness of ice cream in fruit smoothies is toned down by the vitamin-rich deliciousness of oranges and kumquats and other savory fruits. So it is with 6 and 7, where the two numbers are chopped up and blended and served in a parfait cup as 42.
42 is the answer to all our questions, including "What is the meaning of life?" and "How many licks does it take to finish a tootsie roll pop?" 42 is the expression of a human soul's goodness, for all humans have a Darth Vader side as well as a Yoda side, and it is in the balance of those two through blending the two sides into a, say, Luke Skywalker personality that we become the optimum expression of ourselves.
If you ever see 42, run towards it and embrace it and kiss it on the cheek! For if you follow it, your life will be complete!
