The numbers 99 and 66 form a dynamic of branches and roots: 66 is the downward, earthly, spiral movement inward, while 99 is the upward reach toward the stars, the moment just before transformation. Two energies present in every living organism, especially in trees: roots diving deeper, branches rising higher.
It is no coincidence that enlightenment occurred beneath a fig tree — a symbol of profound roots and endless growth. The fig unites the earthly and the celestial just like 66 and 99. Its roots can remain alive for hundreds of years, even when the trunk has long disappeared, the Earth’s memory still breathing beneath the surface.
