Practical Magic By The Power Of Three

From Foxnews today: "Most bird strikes happen within five miles of an airport, lower than 1,000 feet, as planes are taking off or landing. Aircraft hit thousands of birds every year, but they usually bounce off harmlessly. The US Airways flight hit the birds at 3,000 feet, the NTSB says."

Interestingly, Flight 1549 hit the birds at an odd 3,000 (as opposed to 1,000) feet.

Considering the oddity, there are 4 'worlds' in magical kabbalah. Each world corresponds to one of the four suits of tarot. Each world also numerically corresponds to a particular (base 10) decimal placement - pentacles/assiyah (action/physicality) to ones, swords/yetzirah (psychological/emotional) to tens, cups/beriyah (mental/intelligence) to hundreds, and wands/atzilut (spiritual/Divine emanation) to thousands.

Gimel is the Hebrew letter with an ordinal value of 3. Mystically therefore, the odd value 3000 [1] which oddly came out in the physical world within the context of this miraculous event testifies that the 'energy of gimel' was made manifest and brought 'down' into the physical world from the 'lofty' [2] spiritual world of atzilut/Divine emanation.

The 'energy of gimel' contains the power to bring forth benevolence into the context of physical world. Importantly, this actualized benevolence was achieved, not through the 'lofty' spiritual world alone, but effectively, through the emanant depths contained within the very Earth itself. Had this particular plane (fated to suck birds into both of its engines) hit the birds at the expected 1000 feet, perhaps there would have been casulties because landing in the Hudson would have not been a life-saving option.

Footnotes:

[1] Three is a number of the triform Goddess as maiden, mother, crone. The 'thousands' decimal place is a 'Goddess power' of three, namely 10³.

[2] 'Lofty' and 'high' are used only relatively to describe that which is 'less physical' or 'not yet actualized' and is yet nearer to the 'realm of thought' than to the 'realm of action'. In other words, the terms are not used in any literal sense.
