Analysis of its Parts
In order to understand which qualities of the primal ONE are generated in the following figures, it is helpful to examine which influences of the preceding numbers are contained therein.

The Square is f. i. the sum of 1+3, both odd numbers. This can be depicted as a dot in the middle of a Triangle. This figure has the quality of the splitting up into parts of pluralities or relationships. But through the ONE (the dot), the quality of harmony is brought out and the splitting up is prevented.

From another point of view there is 2+2, meaning two dualities. Of these the upper one relates to light and dark or reality and illusion. The lower duality causes a split between subject and object and therefore leads to conflict. It also suggests the breaking up into pairs of opposites: good/bad, right/left etc.

The four not only consists of 2+2, but also of 2x2, which therefore heightens the negative qualities.

Qualities of the Numbers

In number symbolism, the uneven numbers 3, 5, 7, 9 are regarded as active and positive. The even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 are negative and passive. All the even numbers consist of two and its multiples. The negative evaluation is caused by the duality with its tensions, aggressions, deceptions and tendency to attach to matter.

The uneven numbers are more related to the primal ONE, because of the positive qualities of these numbers: (3) harmony and intelligence, (5) love and art, (7) spiritualisation, (9) impulse to reunion. The numbers 2 to 4 refer more to the elements of creation, those of 5 to 9 to the influence of the spirit therein.


9.THE SQUARE, SYMBOL OF THE EARTH

Matter is a projection of the primal ONE on the Zero and consists of empty space wherein ITS energy is sporadically manifest. Therefore it is a projection on the world of duality and is manifest next to UNITY. Matter is originated where the static and dynamic elements of duality integrate.

The Square represents matter and concrete REALITY. TIME is created simultaneously. This time is dual as past and future and not present in the NOW. The present is eternal and related to the ONE.
