Somehow, I see you traveling into the Levant,
with the quest to educate yourself; and you stumbled
on an antediluvian stella, left by none other than
the advocates of Freemasonry, Jabal, Jubail,
Tubal Cain and Namnaah. The four siblings who
quietly wanted to leave their sacred knowledge to posterity.
Before the deluge would bring an end to their world!
And in your wonder, you discovered enlightenment
in the writing on the stella – numbers, mathematics,
sacred geometry, and a mystical poetry of truths!
Wherefrom you emerged the philosopher and
mathematician you were, also esotericist and diviner!
And how the number 3 had a special meaning for you?
In arithmetic and metaphorical graphics. Like the number
3 is a sum of its two prior numbers 1 and 2. And if you
multiply all three it becomes six, a tri-axial triangle,
if you consider one as the apex, two as the side lines,
and three as the base, with the apex diametrically piercing
the middle point of the base. And should you seize upon the
philosophical and metaphysical idea, of the three-pointed
beginning, middle and end; as also the idea of birth, life
and death! But should I add to your thesis, three is a very ancient concept
of God, particularly in Hinduism – the manifestation of the
three headed Brahma, as also the Paternalistic offshoot of
deitiy – Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. If you take it as the original
idea of Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. It is also a three-dimensional
world, we live in. Also, if you multiply 3 by 3, you get nine –
the nine constructive forces of the Universe. And if you multiply
three by the four elements (or take into account the fourth dimension
of time), you get 12, the number of the dimensions in the Universe!
I can just say numbers were constructs and allegories to symbolise
greater truths. Who is the Geodeter or Geometer? Is the material universe
measurable by a factor of 3, Pythagoras? Or is it an infinitive 9; or a conclusive
12. What be the ultimate truth, Pythagoras? Is it the unitariness of one in all its diversity…
multiplying each number to produce the same number!
