    I don’t believe in numerology but 9 has always been my favorite number. All the best things in my life are related to this number.

    Hi! I like your website! I don’t know if you know this, but in the Baha’i Faith, nine being the highest single number symbolizes unity.

    Have you ever seen the beautiful Baha’i House of Worship on the shore of Lake Michigan in Wilmette, Illinois (just north of Chicago)? Its unique nine-sided architecture is a blend of east and west. It symbolizes unity and harmony. And its fountains and gardens are gorgeous.

    Above each of the nine archway entrances is a quotation from the Writings of Baha’u'llah (1817-1892), Founder of the Baha’i Faith. For example, “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”

    Sincerely,

    Marty Schirn
