This book contains a series of commentaries, research notes and illustrations selected from the author's amazing research work. It shows how the notational values (for trigram transposition) which change the ancient symbolic language of the I Ching into a simple numerical language were oringinally derived from the combined symbolic mathematics of the ancient Ho-T'u - The Dragon Horse diagram and the Lo Shu - The Tortoise diagram. This document provides additional conclusive evidence that the originator(s) of the I Ching employed a mathematical system (developed during the Ch'in and Han dynasties) which encompassed a formalistic natural philosophy that sought to embrace the entire world in a system of number symbolism. In addition, the research work contained herein sets out to prove, by using mathematical operand gates methodology, that the destiny/fate of an individual being is dependent upon their own genetic DNA.

On a stormy night, as a hurricane raced up the Gulf Coast and created havoc in its path, Betty Gilliland was born on a corn shuck mattress in a barn at the foot of Sand Mountain. As soon as the midwife wrapped her in a blanket and gently laid her in a cow manger, Gilliland began a journey through life that would eventually test her spirit, courage, and, most of all, her power to forgive. Gilliland begins by chronicling her growing up years during a challenging time in America's history. Her father was drafted into the war and then abandoned his family, leaving Gilliland and her mother to eke out a life for themselves in their tiny cabin, surviving on a diet of wild greens, nuts, and roots. As she weaves through the threads of her life's tapestry, Gilliland recalls the challenges she confronted during her difficult coming-of-age journey as she suffered through hardships, physical abuse, emotional abandonment, and her own self-destructive behavior. Yet through it all, she never lost the faith. What's more, she used that faith to begin building a new life and to discover her roots. Destiny's Tapestry shares one woman's poignant memories of moving from the darkness of abuse into the light of healing.
