THE POWER OF NUMBERS

2)

 

The power of numbers as an ordering device of the mind, which enables human consciousness to “make sense” of the seemingly haphazard flow of events, is obvious.  Governments rise and fall on the power of the numbers of people they can garner in their support. Large numbers of anything produce a great power, either for good or for bad. Witness the power of Nazi Germany or the hordes of Genghis Khan. Numbers even govern human destiny. Numbers are a measurement of vibrations, of occurrences, of objects. Indeed, numbers are the essence of life. In India, a philosophical system evolved which explained the Universe with numbers. It was called Samkhya and was propagated by the Rishi Kapila. The Greeks also realized the mystical value and content of numbers. “Numbers are at the root and the base of all things”, said Cornelius Agrippa.

The great philosopher – mystic Pythagoras said, “All lies veiled in numbers.” The Jewish thinkers understood these concepts and the Kabala taught, “The Universe is built on numbers.” The great European thinker Leibniz wrote, “Numbers are the Universal Language.” Balzao postulated, “Number is an Entity, and at the same time, a Breath emanating from God. The Breath, alone which could organise the physical Cosmos, where naught obtains the form but through Deity, which is an effect of number.” It is no coincidence that many famous European philosophers like Rene Descartes were basically mathematicians. It is said that anyone who wished to study philosophy with Pythagoras had first to study mathematics to discipline their mind.

Number of shapes, “God geometrises, man observes.” Carl Gustav Jung, the great psycho – analyst, realized the mystic quality of numbers and postulated that they were a primordial archetypal power, which was self-existent in the human racial sub-consciousness.

It is thus very significant that the relationship between various Yogic and Yantric concepts and the “numbers” associated with these various principles. The very basic associations between numbers and their inherent qualities and powers in the dealing with the Yantric cycles of time and the Dharma Marga or birth path. Thereafter, using each number as a base, it shows how various Yogic ideas and theories are expressed with numbers in harmony with their essential meaning.

Using drawings and diagrams to illustrate the ideas, the, deep esoteric information in a form easily digested even by the neophyte.
