History and Reality III: The Landscape of Memory by MLQ3 -
Seventy years ago, today, on April 8, 1942, a great earthquake took place (apparently magnitude 7.5), on the eve of the surrender of our forces in Bataan: and you can read about it in a young officer’s Bataan War Diary.
Continuing on my blog entries on the use of old maps, photographs, data, and even photographs and combining them with Google Earth to help visualize World War II in the Philippines, let me turn to a theme.
One of my favorite themes is the Landscape of Memory, which comes from a book by Simon Schama. Our penchant for renaming streets, and demolishing landmarks, robs us of the ability to situate past events in our present landscape. Maps from the past can, in a sense, restore that lost landscape, showing us where shorelines used to be, or what streets were called at the time. Overlaying old maps on Google Earth also helps us visualize, in a sense, the locations portrayed in those maps, and lets us compare and contrast those locations as they appeared –or were mapped, then– and how they appear, now. ~ MLQ3

“There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning. There is no beginning of that no beginning of beginning. There is something. There is nothing. There is something before the beginning of something and nothing, and something before that. Suddenly there is something and nothing. But between something and nothing, I still don’t really know which is something and which is nothing. Now, I’ve just said something, but I don’t really know whether I’ve said anything or not.” —

Interpretations for your first pinnacle numbers. Mine is 9.
To calculate your First Pinnacle number, which
describes your developing years (from the mid twenties to
the mid thirties depending on your Life Path number) you
must add the month and day of birth and reduce it to a
single digit.
Once again, here is your reference for finding out when
the First Pinnacle Period will occur in your life. Note
that to find the timing you also need to calculate your
Life Path number.
Here are the interpretations for the 1st Pinnacle Numbers
In general the influence of the number 1 pinnacle is
about your need for creating an identity that is separate
from your parents and uniquely your own. It represents the
desire to express one’s achievements and set down the
foundations for achievement later in life.
First Pinnacle 1
You are a born leader. Most of your youth was likely spent
on learning leadership skills and experimenting in social
situations to see how you could get on top of them.
Challenges you may have faced in this period may have
included overcoming stubbornness and selfishness.
First Pinnacle 2
This influence creates a very sensitive and imaginative
individual. You may have felt understood as a child and the
scars you bear from being hurt are probably carried over
into childhood. People with this influence like to stick
close to home and are very influenced by their mother or
heritage.
First Pinnacle 3
This creates a very imaginative, creative individual who
may be a bit too “out there” for others to handle in their
early years. Unless you were specifically guided to develop
your artistic and creative potential you may not have
benefited from your own latent talents during this period.
Others may simply perceive you as irresponsible.
First Pinnacle 4
You may have been born into poverty or demanding
circumstances. For one reason or another you may have spent
much of your childhood working. The good news is that
despite your lack of freedom, you will usually have
achieved a lot during this formative period. This can also
indicate an individual pursuing a heavy academic career.
First Pinnacle 5
This number indicates that it might have been very
difficult for you to develop any firm foundations or roots
as a child. Your family may have moved a lot or you may
have been a foster child or adopted. This restlessness may
have resulted in a lack of focused direction in your
twenties and thirties.
First Pinnacle 6
You may have found it hard to let go of the apron strings.
It is likely that the immediate members of the family
hampered your freedom by relying on you too heavily for
financial or emotional support. This pinnacle number can
also indicate an early or arranged marriage.
First Pinnacle 7
You were a brilliant child that was probably very
misunderstood by others. The difficulties that you
encountered socially as a child have probably lead to
misunderstandings in adult life. Unable to connect very
well to others emotionally, you may prefer to retreat to a
world of your own.
First Pinnacle 8
This is the mark of someone who may have been born into an
affluent family. If not you may have demonstrated an early
talent for commerce or business that led you to be quite
well off before the age of 30. This number is so practical
that you may have faced the “real world” by going into
business instead of getting an education.
First Pinnacle 9
You have a lot of convictions and principles that may have
been expressed at an early age by fighting off bullies and
standing up for the underdog. You are giving and altruistic
in nature, to the point that it might be difficult for you
to maintain a job or pursue a money making venture. You are
very ethical and wise from a young age.
First Pinnacle 11
You are born with a great deal of imagination, intelligence
and energy. The problem is that it is hard for a young
person to handle the intensity of being this number. You
are friendly, cooperative and are very distressed by a lack
of harmony. Chances are that you discover psychic talents
before the age of 30.
First Pinnacle 22
You were probably born into some privilege and if not,
managed somehow to build something great that you can call
your own before the age of 30. As you are such an intense
and intelligent individual, your talents may have been
unnoticed when you were a child and your natural brilliance
may have been mistaken for waywardness.
