The one thing you can count on during the presidential campaign season is global synchronicities. This one is about Republican candidate Michele Bachmann, whose ignorance of American history is appalling. She thinks, for instance, that the founding fathers abolished slavery. She’s against all forms of social programs – Medicare, the health program for seniors, and Medicaid, the health program for the poor.
Yet, her husband’s mental health clinic in Minnesota accepted Medicaid payments for more than $137,000. Marcus Bachmann is president of the clinic. When we heard this on the radio during our drive to the dog park this afternoon, I burst out laughing. $137,000? She’s history. Here’s why I think so.
Wolfgang Pauli, a Nobel laureate and one of the early supports of Jung’s theories about synchronicity, wrestled with the implications of 137 for most of his life. It’s a prime number that can be divided by 1 and by itself. Or, put another way, a prime number is a positive integer that can’t equal the product of two smaller numbers. That makes 137 a prime number and a particularly baffling one. In Deciphering the Cosmic Number: The Strange Friendship of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung, Arthur I. Miller refers to this number as the “DNA of light.”
When Pauli was admitted to the hospital at age 58 and learned he would be in room 137, he supposedly said, “I will never get out of here.” He was right. He died shortly afterward.
So 137 – the DNA of light– has exposed Bachman for the hypocrite she is. My remark to Rob was, “She’s toast. That’s Pauli’s death number.”
I never had the impression that Bachmann would go anywhere nationally, anyway. Whenever I see her face, my blood runs cold. She makes me think of Magda Goebbels for some reason.
I’ve read online that some people speculate that Romney will pick her as a running mate, but I seriously doubt that. Romney is a moderate and a Mormon, who is close friends with the Bush family, so if he does end up with the GOP nomination, I think Jeb Bush is his likely running mate. Bachmann’s evangelical background would be uncomfortable for someone like Romney to ever trust completely.
Let us hope that Bachmann will be in the race long enough to miss out on filing reelection paperwork to run for her Congressional district in the fall. If she’s going to lose, I hope she loses her seat in Congress. She may win the Iowa Caucus, but so did Pat Robertson in 1988. She won’t win New Hampshire, though, because New Hampshire voters tend to value substance and she proved her ignorance by claiming that the Revolutionary War started in Concord, New Hampshire instead of Massachusetts.
I do hope you’re right! The lack of simple compassion and any basic understanding of human interdependency these people represent scares me. It’s ironic that this naive idea of unbridled capitalism, lack of social concern, and no restraints upon the monied is exactly the recipe for the opposite of “freedom” – it ultimately creates a small monied aristocracy, and a huge, powerless, uneducated, desperate unprivileged lower class.
Rather like going back to the time of kings and queens. Royalty on one side, serfs on the other.
i never tire of hearing the pauli/jung/137 story – and of bauchmann, i dare not comment! it’s late and i don’t like ending the day on such negativity! 😉
🙂
She sounds like another contemptible creature. Grrrrr
Is 137 toasting her because she is not of the light? Would 137 be a lucky number for a Lightworker for instance?
Speaking of light and synchros……
You know that beautiful stained glass window I put up on my last post? It was the only one of thousands which was ‘lit up’. When i clicked on it, it ‘just happened’ to take me to a Trauma page. Bit of a double synchro. 🙂
Good question. One man who heard my interview with Anne Strieber wrote and said 137 was a lucky number for him. Loved that stained glass synchro, Nat.
I haven’t heard of her before but politics usually throws up some peculiar types – with self interest often being the motive. Interesting about the 137 connection.
Mike, she’s a Sarah Palin clone who first came onto the national scene when she called for Congress to investigate congressional Democrats for being ‘anti-American.’ In other words, they weren’t acting like Republicans. She says she’s against pork barrel politics, unless it’s for her district. But that IS the definition of pork barrel politics – spending intended to benefit an elected official’s constituents. Ironically, and synchronistically, Bachmann actually lobbied and received federal money for the pork industry in her district. True story.
I am trying to hold my tongue about Bauchmann because what I would say is not pretty….
Let it rip, Debra!
We can only hope.
Love it! I had read the Pauli story before, but I think Bachmann is toast anyway.
Smart politicians will remain behind the scenes tomorrow, July 1, when we undergo a tough eclipse – astrologically speaking. No doubt some of them will put foot in mouth and pay for it.
I would love to learn how they determined that 137 is the DNA of Light! For me, prime numbers are simply another area of mathematics with which we work. I personally find nothing particularly fascinating about them, from that mathematical standpoint, although when working with them there are some confusing aspects that I won’t bore everyone with. Regarding 137, I can’t find anything different between it and the other primes….except in Pauli’s regard, it had a special significance for HIM, as a specific number has a special individual significance for each of us. Bachman WHO?? 🙂 I’m so very weary of the political scene. It’s all the same boiling pot on every side, coming together into a ridiculous inseparable stew. I’ve recently reached a place where it’s so distasteful for me that I try to keep my thoughts out of the pot because those whom I felt were trustworthy and who would bring hope have brought disappointment and shame. As far as I’m concerned, it seems they’re all in exactly the same space, but trying to convince the ignorant masses that they’re not. That’s just my own opinion, of course.
Read the two links. They explain some of the dynamics of why Pauli, as a scientist, was baffled by the number. Google it, too. It also had a significance for F. David Peat. You’ll find that in one of the posts.
Somehow, in a laboratory, the 1/137 came out as “an immutable fixture that defines fine structure” It is a constant, determining the spacing between “fine structural lines” (aka spectral lines). These lines, seen in the lab, appear to be electrical in nature.
At Harvard University, scientisits created an artificial Hydrogen atom. They caught a single electron in a trap made of positively charged electrode supplemented by a magnetic field. The electron jumps in this trap. Then they measured the light produced by the electron as it jumps between energy levels. The number was constant, never changing (like pi): 137.035999084.

Because of this Pauli and Jung pondered the connection between the constant 137 and synchronicity.
Thanks for the clarification! I couldn’t find my copy of that book!
Omg, Trish, I’ve read that book twice now–RECENTLY!–and I never even caught this! I totally agree with you, and what a relief.
