Numbers of the tree of Life

Numbers of the Tree of life

"1.4 Ten Sephiroth of Nothingness, Ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand with Wisdom,
be wise with Understanding. Examine with them and probe from them.
Make each thing stand on its essence and make the creator sit on his throne.

"1.7 There are Ten Sephiroth of Nothingness:
Their end is embedded in their beginning and their beginning in their end, like a flame in a burning coal.
For the Master is singular, He has no second. And before One, what do you count?"
---- Sepher Yetzirah

This Tree of Life path arrangement is based on the ten basic characters of the Indian/Arabic Numbers: 0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9, which are called Ideal Numbers. This is not to be confused with the 'ideal numbers' of Kummer or Dedekind's 'ideals' in 'Ring Theory'.

The Key number used in this lineup is the 'perfect' number 6. Six is the common denominator of all the numbers being used when reduced; that is when all the digit numbers of the paths and spheres are added together and reduced down to a single digit. No other Ideal number, only six, will obtain a result of all the ten accumulation points equaling the same number.

The numbers of the paths are derived from the 22 numbers of the Tarot, 0 through 21, the 22 Hebrew letters, and the 10 Planets and 12 Signs of the Zodiac (10+12=22).

Zero is the pause which defines the word, it is the silence which defines the sound, it is the darkness which defines the light . Zero adds no quantity that is not already intrinsically present and it doesn't change the nature of any number it is added to or subtracted from, yet it eliminates all quantitative value when it is multiplied or divided by; however it is the only qualifying source for the determinate value of all the other numbers; In a since Zero defines all values by the common contrast of its' non valued, yet predetermined, placement of its' origin.

You might also note the Ideal number values in this arrangement of the 'Four Worlds' within the Tree of Life:

Atziluth = 0 + 1 + 2 = 03 = 3
Briah = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 = 3
Yetzirah = 6 + 7 + 8 = 21 = 3
Assiah = 9 = 3 + 3 + 3

Zero is the Unification Point of the Realms of Time, Space & Energy and thereby the ultimate reference point for all measurements of Time & Space. Everything has to start at some time and some place
and that time and place of beginning is the notion of a fixed Zero. Once a constant placement for Zero is established all numbers may manifest by a naturally recurring harmonic progression of cyclic motion. Six is the Perfect Product of the Triune nature of Zero (>0<) and thereby manifests into a perfect form called a Cube of Space, a six equally sided square block. A measurement of Space and Time using the 12 Lines of the Hexagram.

10+11+12=33= 6
13+14+15=42= 6
16+17+18=51= 6
19+20+21=60= 6
186 24

Three times Eight Hours in a 24 hr. cycle:
Work 8-hrs, Help 8-hrs, Rest 8-hrs.

By Zodiac Signs:
14+16+19=49=4 ( Fire)
11+17+20=48=3 ( Air)
10+15+21=46=1 ( Earth)
12+13+18=43=7 ( Water)
       186=15= 6

Speed of Light = approx. 186,000 miles per second
(186,282.397 mps) 300,000,000 meters per second.

The base 10 Meter system just doesn't seem to share the same harmonic responsiveness as the base 12 'Foot' system does. Especially when it comes to pre-metric systems of measurement. The foot system is based on an system of measurement whose
origins are so ancient that we don't know really know where it came from or who really was first to use it. What we do know is that it works very harmoniously with the proportional dimensions of time, space, & matter. The Meter doesn't readily produce the third or fourth, as well as the half and other harmonic relationships nearly as well as the Foot system. It is far too focused on the counting advantage and misses the qualities of harmony.

49-48=1, 48-46=2, 46-43=3
