The Return to the Primal ONE
With reaching the number nine, in the case of the primal numbers, the
principle of unification is achieved. Through the other numbers this goal is
enriched with a multitude of qualities. In order to understand this
development one should realise that all numbers consist of a multiple of
one.
The whole process of the ‘return to the ONE’ is reflected in the evolution
of life on the earth, from the first living cells, to the appearance of
vegetation, animals and man, evolving in ever higher stages of existence.
In this development, humankind has been enlarging the capacity of its brain,
thus creating an expanding consciousness. Imbedded in sections of the human
brain there exists, presently unused, capacities which may enable higher
states of awareness. This has been apparent in a few individuals over the
ages, and, has bestowed upon us the founders of the great religions,
mystics, and individuals of genius in the arts and sciences.
Today there are more and more cases of that which is known in the east as
the awakening of Kundalini. An American medical doctor informed the author
that she had seen a thousand cases of awakened Kundalini in her practice.
At the beginning of this discourse, it is stated that consciousness is one
of the three attributes of the ONE. Kundalini (when healthy) accelerates the
process of expanding consciousness and a return to the Source.
In Hindu tradition this impulse to return to the Source is described as a
white snake, lying asleep, curled up in the lowest chakra. When the time is
ripe, she uncurls and rises in the spine in order to unite with her spouse,
the supreme Lord Shiva, at the crown chakra. This serpent is simultaneously
the Shakti, the all-creative half of Shiva, who abides aloof in the eternal
bliss of supreme meditation.
Esoteric Mathematics
In order to get to grips with the qualities that make up the Nonagram it is
helpful to resort to the esoteric way of counting (Qabbalistic reduction).
This method consists of reducing all numbers larger than ten into those of
one digit. This is achieved by adding the individual numbers together until
a single digit result i.e. 652 (6 + 5 + 2 = 13 then 1 + 3 = 4) = 4.
Using this method, the particularity of the number nine is that if it is
multiplied with another number the result is always nine i.e. 2106 = 2 + 1 +
6 = 9. If one adds together those numbers from 1 to 8, the outcome is 36 =
9. If one multiplies the numbers from 1 to 8 with each other the outcome is
40320 = 1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8 = 40320
Taken symbolically, this means that the Nine has the capacity to absorb all
single digit numbers into itself. In this instance this means that, through
the existing principle of unification in all manifestation, all numbers, one
to eight, form a totality. These numbers, with their specific qualities,
have enriched nine, and together with it form a Unit. In order to understand
this better, compare it with the development towards Unity illustrated with
three Circles (Fig. A to E, page 16-20). It is because of this unity, within
the symbol of the single-digit numbers, that nine has become an image of
ONE.
The zero cannot be absorbed, and forms together with the nine (which has
become one) the number ten. This is possible because of the zero’s potency,
which enriches nine by tenfold.
Principally, the whole world of duality is in the process of becoming one,
of unifying. Creation is total and undivided.
‘And if we are only one grain of sand on the beaches of eternity, the
Universe would be incomplete if even one of these grains would fail.’
