SUM UNIVERSAL workshops and consultation

As you already know from my tweets on Twitter, I am further concerned with spreading the knowledge that numbers exert a subtle influence in our daily lives. Slowly I start to offer workshops at physical locations in the Bellevue and Seattle area. Individual consultations are also taken into account if so desired. In the coming weeks I will transform my site www.sumuniversal.com so that interested people can find additional information on these workshops and other issues. In addition I will continue writing about my personal experiences here in the greater Seattle area and overseas.

Number eight

After I had published my book last year I read that Nelson Mandela’s prison number had been 46664. Even here we can we see that his life lesson number eight from his numerological profile played an important role during his life imprisonment. The addition of all the numbers of 46664 equals number eight (4+6+6+6+4=26 and 2+6=8).

(Excerpt from book Invisible Cloak)

➢ Life lesson number

Mandela was born on July 18, 1918. His life lesson number is number eight.

7+18+1918=1943 and 1+9+4+3=17 and 1+7=8

As you can see from table Number symbolism and analogous chemical/physical facts and principles, the metaphysical attributes of number eight include: transfiguration will take place through repetition and strength leading to responsibility and power.

Mandela’s life lessons are also intertwined with his life experiences. Mandela had to learn to overcome all obstacles and to succeed in his battle with oppressive authorities, which would ultimately lead him to responsibility and power. The number eight corresponds with important events, places, and numerological profile numbers of people with whom Mandela had a close relationship.

Writers’ acknowledgments of merit

Since the start of the strike of the Writers Guild of America, which began on November 5th, I felt empathy with their cause. I certainly can understand that the writers strive for a fair and reasonable deal that acknowledges their merits in proportion to the new methods and ways of how the entertainment industry receives its income and profit. Just to show my support, I reduced my writings on my blog site, too.

In addition, the past few months were quite enlightening. I published my book through Lulu.com, but so far only three people have bought my book as per the accounting records from Lulu.com. Shortly after I had published my book, three people bought my book. Two of them I know personally. Quite a few people told me in October, November and December that they were interested in my book and that they wanted to buy it, but no additional sales credits have been reported to my account at Lulu.com.

Since I found this a bit odd, I sent an email to Lulu.com inquiring about this issue. I mentioned in my email that a computer glitch, which is quite common nowadays, could be the cause of accounting errors. At the moment, I don’t know whether three sold books is in fact the accurate account.

To get to the bottom of this issue, I’m withdrawing the sale of my book at Lulu.com. In case you bought my book, I ask you to inform me and give me the Lulu order number so that I can supply it to Lulu.com.

In the meantime, I’m working on getting my ISBN number so that I can offer my book through other book channels too. And I still have to work on my German translation, which I had put on a back-burner because I wasn’t in a translation mood either.

So, now I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year, and a joyous path of self-determination and self-actualization.

Self-publishing on Lulu.com

I hope you’ve found the time to visit my author’s website under woventhoughtdesign.com and my book’s web page on Lulu.com. In addition, I hope I raised your awareness for a universal concept, which plays such a pivotal role in our lives. As mentioned in my book, through the discovery and examination of patterns we learn of the workings of this world.

I’ll continue with this blog site and will share more of my life experiences and thoughts with you in the coming months and years.

For the past few weeks I’ve been checking into creating another website where I will offer my book(s) and/or chapters of it as PDF files or e-books to the public. But that is an undertaking that will take some time because I want to create a secure website. Meanwhile you can download my book as a PDF file at Lulu.com. I’ve chosen to self-publish my book through Lulu.com because I felt that it is a trustworthy site. The self-publishing firm Lulu.com was founded and is owned by Bob Young, who was a co-founder of Linux software developer Red Hat.

Since I still don’t know which distributor to choose for selling my book at other bookstores and/or Amazon, I have not gotten an ISBN number yet. The ISBN number will not change the content of my book. The ISBN number just enables the author to sell the book at other bookstores too. At the moment, my book can only be purchased at Lulu.com. I hope that this will not deter you from buying it. The printed paperback version looks good, so does the PDF file.
