INTRODUCTION
[Home]   [Top]
As you can all understand , it is marginally impossible for me to express
the whole theory of BIDE and 57 , as it would cover an unimaginable number of pages! But I will do my best to bless you , o fellow surfer , with the knowledge embedded in me since the dawn of time.
 

WARNING!  Do not read anymore if you consider yourself a sane, technocratic, law-abiding, close-minded, couch-loving , stationary , religiously safe , ever-unchanging , ever-mainstream , by-the-book human being.
If you fit in the above categories, I would suggest you press the happy face below.
 


 

WHAT IS 57?
[Home]   [Top]
So lets start by defining 57. 57 is not just a number as you would expect, but it represents a theory and an actual way of life! Upon it we have built a whole new way of thinking.
57 in itself is everything and nothing all at once. You cannot "point" at 57 , nor define it. It represents everything that you see and everything that you don't , can't and won't ever see.
Also bear in mind that 57's  nature is to contradict normality as we know it. Elaborating more on normality, it must be understood that the theory of 57 is not in conjunction with logic, but rather pledges liegence to the human spirit and faith.

BIDE
[Home]   [Top]
What's that, I hear you ask! Well BIDE is the messiah of 57, as Jesus is (or was) to christianity. He worked as a "beacon" between the THINKERS and 57 and through his thoughts and lectures he actually founded the whole belief. A point worth noting is that BIDE didn't actually have the complete interpretation or knowledge upon 57. He just provided a standing ground for his followers to work upon. Having said that I must add that the theory of 57 will never be complete. As long as there are followers to keep the fire burning, it will always be "enhanced" and reborn anew. There is no limit , no rules , no standard books to rest upon. It all comes from the heart , and as long as it's full of faith , more will come and be added.
Thus as a memorial, we, the thinkers, used his name to represent the highest and finest mathematical results in the MATHEMATICAL SYSTEM OF 57!

THE MATHEMATICAL SYSTEM OF 57
[Home]   [Top]
Yes, there actually is a mathematical system that bears faith to the theory of 57. At start it may seem rather hard to understand or useless and pointless. But read it twice on this page and thrice in your heart and you will understand it's hidden meanings.
This system is based upon priority and not logic, as do plain mathematics.
Only three numbers are actually used : 57, 1300 and 1357.
The basic rules are the following:
57 combined in any way ,with any number , aside 1300 , 57 and 1357 , gives a result of 1300 :
F.e. 57+1=1300 ,  57*58=1300 etc.

1300 combined in any way, with any number aside  1300, 57 and 1357 will give 57:
F.e. 1300+123=57 , 1300-1299=57 etc.

Now if 1300 or 57 is combined in any way with itself will give us BIDE :
F.e. 1300-100=BIDE , 57*57=BIDE etc.

Finally if the two divine numbers are combined together , then we have the ULTIMATE result :|BIDE|
F.e. 1300*57=|BIDE| , 57/1300=|BIDE| etc.

This may seem a little confusing , disoriented and maybe worrisome to those who are comfortably sited on the thrones of logic, not wanting the upcoming change of things THEY know well.
But enough with the rhetoric stuff!

OTHER MEANINGS OF 57
[Home]   [Top]
57 also symbolizes prosperity towards the faithful. If seen , it is always considered as a sign and omen and should thus be treated with care for it may not always hold the obvious messages.
For example imagine two people walking down a road, one believer and a non believer. Suddenly "coincidence" has it that they both look at a sign , on which ,  aside all other stuff , the number 57 is written. Now that would mean a lot of things and it may be misinterpreted if not studied by a proficient believer.
Lets suppose that the believer walking down the road is not so experienced. Then he will immediately bow down and thank BIDE for the sign , using some way of paying tribute (see Appendix) , thinking of it as something good for him. ALAS it may not be so!
If we suppose that the believer was an experienced one , he would first bow , thanking BIDE , but he would also examine the other possibility :
as you may remember there were two walking down the road. The experienced believer of 57 should examine the faith of the unbeliever.
If he should find that his believes DIRECTLY contradict those of 57 in a provoking way , then the interpretation of the divine intervention may be that something may happen to the non-believer...... and it will not be pretty!!

These examples are by all means NOT a rule , but simply guidelines to help you further comprehend the diverse meanings of 57. One must understand that the same sign may deliver totally different messages to different people witnessing it at the same time.

THE WAY OF 57
[Home]   [Top]
This chapter will hopefully help you clear away any misunderstandings , troubles , questions and especially any wrong conclusions you may have come to.
As I have already said , the theory of 57 does not force any believer to live by any rules. What you have been reading is a "tutorial" that will help you only approach 57's way of thinking, a way of thinking that breaks any limits by which we have learned to live. You are not obliged to follow any of this, but you are rather encouraged to create your own and follow them.
The best god to believe upon is yourself alone, for you alone know which are virtues and which are not, what is good or bad , right or wrong for yourself.
Believing in 57 is not believing in powers that may be , but believing in you.
You may find passages in this document that initially seem to contradict this chapter and many may be quick to judge and criticize my sayings but should you look at them a bit closer you will find that it is not so. The best way to read through this document is by freeing your mind and soul of any barriers and walls of protection. Nothing I have written is "evil" nor meant to mislead anyone. I don't claim anything as right nor as a fact and so I am asking you to let yourself enjoy this document and not study it closely.

CLOSING
[Home]   [Top]
How can I conclude ? This was only but a mere fraction of the actual theory. What I wanted to give to anyone interested is the understanding that 57 does not represent yet another religious movement nor a rebellious conspiracy. It actually is a new way of thinking , a pioneering bold attempt to make people look at life in a more hope-provoking way , a theory that dismisses all technocratic and logic standards which freeze the suspense in our lives and which unfortunately have "routined" their way into our societies.
Little thought has been put into this theory because it was "thought" from our hearts. Finally I made no corrections to this text , because it was extracted from my soul in a flare moment of fire and thus it is bound to be correct .. in its own special way...

This document will constantly be enhanced as long as there is faith and time to do it. Keep close watch!

APPENDIX

PAYING TRIBUTE
[Home]   [Top]
There are many ways to show your faith to 57 and BIDE. The point is to rejoice by mind, soul and body. One way to do that is to sing something that will power-up your faith. It may be anything as long as your soul sing along with your body. If nothing comes to mind at the time you could always sing one of the following verses. It would be even better if you would make up some verses of your own, for they will have more power for you since they will be something coming exclusively from you.
 
 
In Greek (Greeklish) In English
"Se timw gia alli mia fora
 o Bide pou ton dromo mou edikses
 gia sena pselnw tora
 gia sena pou pote se lathos den me erikses."

"Epitelous kai epitrelas
 mexri tin apostoli mou na ferw se peras
 esena tha proskinw
 kai tin lampsi sou tha zitw"
 

"I worship you once again
 O BIDE you who showed me the road
 for you I know chant
 for you , who never showed me false"

"At last and atmadness
 until I succeed in my mission
 I will bow to you
 and seek thy shinning"
 

 

Eventually you could do anything you want to show your faith , as long as it comes from your heart. Dance , paint , yell , scream etc.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

NOTES:
[Home]   [Top]

1357 is considered a special case and comes up only in bizarre , strange and exceptional occasions which unfortunately will not be discussed in this document.

1300 is just as powerful as 57 but somewhat difficult to interpret. It was discovered in a very peculiar way through a computer game and is considered as a not so straight forward sign. Its more something like the god of madness, Locus: You will never know until it happens. More are to follow on 1300 on future enhancements of this document.
