Daniel Johnston and the Number 9

[theboognish]

hey if you have any more of this video you should seriously post it! I would love to see, looks like their on some serious shit!

[jaso19]

hes actualy right you know that guys LOl im not even kidding think of it as a binary code and research on the number 9 youl understand

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@jaso19 Um.....ok, so basically what he says in the video is that Number 9 is God (or a representation of Him)...and that by choosing 9/God you will be able to acheive 10, which is Eternal Salvation. Thinking of it as Binary Code, makes no sense...Binary literally means 0's and 1's. Thinking of it in Gematria would be more apt. Symbolically speaking 9 most often represents completeness in the physical world..the last step before enlightenment. Had he combined the concept of [CONTINUED]

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@jaso19 [CONTINUATION OF MY COMMENT].....Had he combined the concept of God WITH salvation, both as number 10, and said that 9 was the the last step before reaching this...or keeping with the Judeo/Christian motif...had he claimed that 9 represented Jesus, as a bridge, between man & God then he would be slightly more accurate to generaly accepted sybmolic meaning. Still he comes close enough...I think Carl Jung suggested that the Mentaly Ill can access such symbolic Universal Archetypes.

fuckin pixies arent genius like johnston here.

[chrish12345]

[rzachan]

[eaxel987]

[hellrell1235]

9 9 9

[chrish12345]

my house is number 34, is that good? plus wot appens wen u move house, do u add the old wiv the new ?

[FrostMechanic]

Yes, that is good. 34 means that if it exists, there is porn of it.

[1andoneis3]

god is 7!

[soyvuestrohamster]

I truly believe that Daniel Johnston is the only ARTIST musician in the world.

[AuschwitzKidd]

Daniel Johnston is awesome...

[chrish12345]

who's holdin the cam, duz it start wiv Dan then he give it to another dude?

[1TheBeatles1]

yes it appears so

[colacentral]

Acid permanently alters your brain, so even if he's not actually on it here, if it's post-acid Daniel then it's still having an effect.

[Pooper0101]

CUZ 7 ATE 9

[jacobehrlich]

Is he on acid in this video?

In the documentary, they play the clip where he's holding up the 9 and the E after they mention how he started taking acid a lot, so I wasn't sure...

[chrish12345]

no he weren't on acid, he'd just taken a few swigs of gin

[chrish12345]

was the owner of this tape one of the dudes in the film?

[chrish12345]

wtf lol, absolutely hilarious

[sploogersmoof]

i thought 9 was the human number. god is 7.

[chrish12345]

no its 897, plus avoid 98

[MorayEel]

I thought man is 5, devil 6, and God 7.

[MoiDeCoentro]

dogs are 4 and lolcats 3

[klapklap]

that makes insects 2, i'm number 1, and your nothing:p

[Beck436]

Like the Pixies tell us

[channing789]

what did they tell?

[Beck436]

channing789

*sings*

Man is five. Man is five. Man is five. Man is five. And the devil is six. Devil is six. Devil is six. Devil is six, and if the devil is six, then GOD IS SEVEN. Then GOD IS SEVEN. Then GOD IS SEVEN.

[channing789]

i thought

7 is the devil

8 is jesus

10 is god

and number 9 is a human

thats like daniel said in his movie the devil and daniel johnston :D

[Beck436]

no no. at pier platter's he said 5 is a human number, 6 is the devil satan, 7 is jesus, 8 is eternal death, 10 is salvation and number 9...number 9...number 9...

really great movie though.

[channing789]

ok thanks^^

can you tell me where i can watch the movie ?

i saw it here on youtube but it's deleted now =(

[mrMikeHawk100]

@channing789 < if you have comcast cable check it out on demand under sundance listings.

[fifbeat]

Where's the rest of this video??

[pathoplastic]

I loved when he used the number 9 placard as a christmas tree ornament(disturbing his family)...must've been around this time

[idthatisnottaken]

yeah I dunno if daniel knows the pixies but I woulnd't doubt frank for a second

[41music]

every1 knows of course that the Beatles did "Revolutin No. 9" not because it was their favorite number rather bcuz there are 9 letters n McCartney & the phrase "number 9" played n reverse sounds like "turn me on dead man" & these were clues 2 the true fate of 1 Paul McCartney. He died n a car crash in '65 & was replaced, The replacement is about 2 inchestaller & his head is significantly larger than Paul's was. Your head doesn't grow much after the age of 24 (Paul's age in '65) so, I mean, yeah.

[kukoskarsson]

it´s not the beatles special number but lennons. He was born on the 9th and died on the 9th(in england) and sean was born the 9th...yeah he had a huge fascination about that number

[chrish12345]

sean, woz he on drums?

[kukoskarsson]

eee nope that was ringo. Sean was his youngest son

[TombyStone]

Oh how messed up his poor mind was. Everyone knows God is 7. I mean why would Frank Black lie to us ??

[chrish12345]

he's only avin a laff ffs, get a grip

[mcerpintaxtv]

Oh my goodness. This is just ridiculous. I love Daniel so much. He makes you want number 10 so badly!

[efsq]

thanks a lot for posting this :)

[tunaketchup]
