Introduction: What Are The Supreme Mathematics?
SUPREME IS A WORD MEANING DOMINATE AND MATHEMATICS IS SUPREME TO ALL THINGS IN THIS MATERIAL WORLD. FOR ALL THINGS REVOLVE AROUND MATH, THEREFORE ALL THINGS ARE MATH.
ONCE ONE UNDERSTANDS AND LIVES SUPREME
MATHEMATICS THEY BECOME ONE WITH THAT UNIVERSAL FLOW. THIS IS ONE ASPECT OF BEING IN TRUE HARMONY.
SUPREME MATHEMATICS ARE PRINCIPLES THAT REPRESENT THE NUMBER SYSTEM ONE THROUGH NINE (1-9).

2: Wisdom: Ones wise words, ways, and actions
3: Understanding: To cee (see) things for what they truly are and not what they appear to be.
4: Culture-Freedom: Ones divine way of life (principals, morals, and values). To free one’s dome (mind) from all negativity.
5: Power-Refinement: Dealing in Truth and preserving ones Integrity. To cleanse one’s self from all impurities and negativity.
6: Equality: To deal equal with and in all things, the true science of Oneness.
7: God: Universal Supreme Force and exalted motivating energy of all life.
8: Build or Destroy: To add on to one’s life positively and destroy means to eradicate all negativity from one’s life.
9: Born: To bring things into existence.
10: Cipher: The completion - 360 degrees of mathematical perfection.
Chapter One: 1 = Knowledge
KNOWLEDGE: TO LOOK, LISTEN, LEARN, OBSERVE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO RESPECT. KNOWLEDGE IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THINGS IN EXISTENCE. KNOWLEDGE IS TO KNOW-THE-LEDGE!
This universal mathematical principle allowed me to grow as a barber in many ways. The knowledge of a barber is a combination of one’s belief and values, yet most importantly it is the lessons we learn from the theoretical side of our profession.
For all barbers (male or female) this journey starts for us all with Barber School. It is in these times that we are to develop our barber minds and prepare a functioning skill set to advance to the work
