Prosperity. That seems to be the number one wish these days, however you define prosperity.
If you are an energy worker, work up a spell for Friday: 08/08/2008 which adds up to 26 which adds up to …wait for it…8.
I got this from Raymond Grace’s CD on Prosperity, which I highly recommend if you like a down-home, folksy, logical approach to managing energy, past present and future.
Some thoughts on the number 8:
From Wikipedia on chinese number meanings:
Eight
The word for “eight” (八，捌) in Chinese (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means “prosper” or “wealth” (发 – short for “发财”, Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for “eight” and “fortune” are also similar, eg Cantonese “baat” and “faat”.
There is also a resemblance between two digits, “88”, and the shuang xi (‘double joy’), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 (xi, ‘joy’, ‘happiness’).

Dragon Fish Industry in Singapore, a breeder of rare Asian Arowanas (which are “lucky fish” themselves, and, being a rare species, are required to be microchipped), makes sure to use numbers with plenty of eights in their microchip tag numbers, and appears to reserve particularly numbers especially rich in eights and sixes (e.g. 702088880006688) for particularly valuable specimens.

You have tested it and writing form your personal experience or you find some information online?
I have learned from other people, and I also have the 8 right above my monitor where I can keep it in the front of my mind. This advice is worth what you paid for it.
What is the truth? Is there such a thing? Such a thing as a truth that is real whether you believe in it or not. Is truth the absence of scerets, or the absence of lies? Can you only find the truth at the risk of losing everything you think is real? Is the truth complex; is it simple? Is truth easy to find, or is it hiding and/or being hiden under secrets and lies. Can you find truth by science? Find int by faith of religion? Find it by faith and understanding of humanity?
Perception colors truth. We tend to see what we believe, so my truth and yours might look very different. It’s an interesting question to ask what we would see if we believed in nothing. But our consciousness requires some rules of how things work, which may be skewed by our personal experience, so that what works for you–or what worked for your parents as they grew up–does not work for me here and now.
I think our understanding of truth is much like our ability to see the electro-magnetic spectrum: visible light is a very small part of it, yet we are affected by sound, microwaves, ultraviolet and infrared frequencies though we can’t see them. Shamans speak of the invisible world where one can experience the oneness of the energy that is all things–quantum mechanics is trying to draw a picture of that world.
What is a more fundamental question perhaps is what does the truth give us? If we know truth, then what?
I just watched Letters to God and I thought it was a great, inspirational film. What I liked about the movie was that it didn’t really focus on finding faith, but more about the strains hardship adds to maintaining it. I feel that many people are able to relate to through that approach, as each of us have come across a difficult part in our lives.
It is always easier to get along in easy times, which is why people call on God in hard times. The word “striving” comes to mind, as a choice, rather than “struggling” or “suffering”. I don’t mean to deny pain–physical or mental–but it is the striving to grow, to do, to be happy, that seems to make the most difference.
Cool Post. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you can find the truth. Open your mind and your heart.
Truth is within. Facts are without–and sometimes without truth. Look into your own soul for truth.
