FEAR OF NUMBER 13
(TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA)
By Mr. Yogi (YOGI INKA)
Friday the 13th phobia has its roots in the early days of Christianity. There were 13
people at Christ's Last Supper before his captivity, and then He was crucified on a
Friday. Since number 13 is regarded as an ominous and unlucky. The latest example of
ill-fated Apollo 13 lunar mission, which was, aborted en route to the moon in 1970 because
of a fuel cell in the service module. The flight left the launching pad at 13 minutes
after the hour on April 13.In China also, 13 was regarded as a number of obstacles.
In the ancient religion of Mexico, number 13 were considered the most fortunate number-
since it symbolizes the Sun, the male and positive energy. In the Cabala, 13 are not
regarded as unlucky. In the second book of the Moses, one can study of the 13 attributes
of God (Exodus34: 6-7). In numerology, it is a number of practical, alert, and
intelligent. Those born on this date are very successful in scientific research and
development. Their interests in religion and philosophy can bring them great fame and
siddhis/ riddhis (powers that are believed to be supernatural)
Are you more adamant about your fear of number 13? Would you consider living on floor
marked 13 in unit 13? Most of the scientist world does not offer you any solid proof, but
stating it is simply a superstition phobia. For centuries, the scary combination of Friday
the 13 has portended misfortune to many across this world. The number 13 by itself have
led many high-rise buildings to number of their floors 12 to 14. Although the West is
famous for scientific technological wizardry and education, the number 13's superstition
still has a powerful hold on many aspects of everyday life. It seems to be that even
concern authorities and governments recognize the power of this number and willing to bend
the rules. Perhaps numbers do have their strengths.
