Chapter 85:
Sacred Numerology
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. NOW I teach you of numbers, for that is the profoundest study in all creation; I tell you of the significance of numbers in the Cosmos:
2. Ye have heard it said that Numbers are digits expressing quantities in terms; I say that is wrong.
3. Numbers express not quantities but values.
4. Numbers have a mission unto men, giving them portraits of valuations;
5. Numbers have a mission unto men, giving them mental pictures of that which they value;
6. But Numbers do more than this; they give expressions of quantities to men and in addition the values thereof, one in relation to the other.
7. Numbers do still more than this: they typify existence. They have no bearing otherwise.
8. Six is a number unto itself even when not attached to objects; numbers have quantities therefore in themselves, expressively.
9. All accrueth to this: Men employ numbers to express quantities and values, and abstractions of concepts where quantities are involved, but practice of considering numbers as cosmic values is not yet recognized. . . .
10. When man first came to earth he had knowledge of himself as One; he had knowledge of his neighbor, which made Two; he had knowledge of many neighbors which made many numbers;
11. But of those neighbors whom he saw not, he had no knowledge, yet they did exist in Thought and verily manifested.
12. Man said unto himself: Lo, there are many of us; how distinguish we ourselves one from the other, seen or unseen? let us do so by a sign, numbering ourselves; came we to earth nameless, but in numbers not countable by human brain.
13. Man did designate himself, therefore, according to his projections across cosmic space, counting himself fortunate to be known at all.
14. Names are numbers signifying classes; they are not chosen by whim of parent but given to men in classes, signifying their states of cosmic development. . . .
15. Every name hath its number, or rather, every number or set of numbers, hath its name;
16. Persons of similar names have similar numbering, though not the reverse.
17. Consider this, therefore: man did come to earth nameless, being created by Divine Thought for purposes of administration; that is his place in the Cosmos, naught else.
18. Man is cosmic administrator, in school to learn administration.
19. We who did come to earth first and therefore have lived the longer, did signify ourselves by groups: each group comprised its number of souls, the time of their advent being the mark of their cosmic identity.
20. Words and phrases expressing numbers crept into every language, undergoing form-to-form translation as tongue succeeded tongue; tongues gave meaning to numbers or groups, but these meanings were lost in age on age, making derivations.
21. Numbers have a mission therefore that is different from symbols of evaluation, or significance of quantities: they are expressive of group ratings when symbols apply to the race as a whole.
22. Ye have heard that it hath been said that seven thousand souls did reach earth first; for seven thousand years did those seven thousand manifest ere others came to earth in leagues of seven thousand more.
23. The first did multiply in physical form which they took upon themselves, but these seven thousand were not beasts as ye know beasts; they were humans manifesting in physical form of beasts.
24. Beasts have no insight into spiritual values, but man, being the essence of spiritual value, did know himself as separate from beasts.
25. He said unto his brother, We do recognize ourselves, being that which is called Man, but behold we are naked in spirit; shall we not therefore clothe ourselves with physical form even as beasts?
26. Whereupon entered Woman as a sex into the cosmic scheme. . . .
27. Woman originally was not different from man, for verily men are women constantly, and women are men, as it pleaseth the half of the soul to exercise;
28. But the bodies of women were different physically for reproduction.
29. The first seven thousand therefore did take unto themselves physical form by need of manifesting, and did evolve Woman as such to speed the process called physical creation; the work of propagation was divided, each manifesting in its function.
30. The first seven thousand dying and being reborn over and over, were the root parents of the race, going in and out of flesh at their whim.
31. Now those bodies were but transient, therefore is sex but transient, but spirit is immortal; therefore when a second seven thousand did come to the earth plane, verily was there confusion of a sort, for the second resembled the first in spiritual aspect, though the first were the older in creation by seven times.
32. Therefore did the first group of seven name themselves First Seven; therefore did those who came after name themselves Second Seven; those who did come after named themselves Third Seven, and so through untold millions.
33. Therefore have we the various numbers in every language, but each representing a class of Seven, and Seven Thousand, and where they belong in the order of their coming.
34. The march of events hath taken each far; peoples have succeeded peoples and tongues aligned with tongues; but riveted in each man's consciousness hath been the order of his coming. . . .
35. Know ye, my beloved, that those among you who serve me belong to the group that came to earth first, so long ago that the mind of species cannot encompass it.
36. Know that ye have birthed and rebirthed countlessly until necessity for birth and rebirth hath long since disappeared.
37. Know that ye have become of the host, administrators, verily risen to your stature; know that ye didst say unto yourselves: Lo, the earth is beautiful in that we live upon it, or in it.
38. Ye have said to yourselves, We have made earth beautiful in times that are passed, but that is not enough; those who have followed us have need of our counsel.
39. Whereupon ye didst elect to remain with earth and make it beautiful for those who followed, millennium on millennium.
40. Seven is the “mystic number" of all creation in that Seven hath the power of creating; Seven hath the power of creating because it hath in it seven gradations of Etheric Status, making in manifestation for substance in matter.
41. When, however, we come unto man as spirit, a different proposal confronteth us.
42. Man is not Matter; he is finer than Matter; he trans- cendeth Matter even though he occupy it and perceive it.
43. He saith to the Godhead out of which he came, Seven may be the ingredients of Ether making Matter, but unto these were added Love and Patience, making Spirit;
44. These made Nine; therefore is man expressed in the Cosmos by nine.
45. Have I not told you that Nine is the number of the sons of God?
46. Nine is the symbol for Created Mortal.
47. Fire and water are made of the same ingredients as Man, requiring Love and Patience to bring them into being; therefore is Nine likewise symbol of Fire and Water.
48. All things have symbol in some form.
49. Man said unto the Godhead, Let there be light visible that I may know this earth in which I dwell; light came, of addition of cosmic intelligence to cosmic matter, making Ether to know itself.
50. Light as seen by eye is property of Ether when acted upon by Love; light as seen by Soul is substance of creation; light hath no properties of itself, it is merely a condition.
51. Light is not fire, though fire is light.
52. Light is the eternal beneficence in action and taketh many forms.
53. Fire is Ether having substance; water is Ether having other substance; fire and water are both substance of Ether.
54. Fire came first, water followed; fire was powerful, water was more powerful, having more properties of Ether than fire; therefore doth water vanquish fire, having greater substance.
55. For a time man did exist having no names, I say, but numbers; Seven was his number;
56. But of those who came into flesh of first order were those who did not pervert themselves by liaisons with beasts; these were the unblemished; they also had numbers according to their quantity; they also designated themselves out from those who went otherwise in practices.
57. Now, my beloved, I tell you more: those who went otherwise in practices did not pervert to similar extent; some reclaimed themselves at once, in their first lives; they too were of a quantity, having names expressing that quantity.
58. Down many lives in flesh did many abominate ever more grossly, so that the numbers thereof did each become a significant designation.
59. When therefore ye study the Science of Numbers, bear ye these facts in mind.
60. Men everywhere have names; they may not always bear the same names, life on life, but always they bear names having as their essence the number of an order, or division of an order; to these names they respond in that they remember them subconsciously.
61. Let us take a case in point: mayhap a certain man cometh to earth to reincarnate for personal experience; he hath visions of his order over many lives;
62. He saith unto himself, I belong to this or that division of the race; I have come to earth many times, manifesting in different racial stocks; I have had visions of myself in many places, but always hath my name represented mine order; what therefore is my name according to the stock I now proceed to inhabit?
63. Verily doth he choose that name and it is given him.
64. Parents' wishes enter not into it, contrary to acceptance; parents do but obey the promptings of the voices speaking to them from behind the veil;
65. Mothers do but know that they carry their young: lo, the young are but animal bodies having neither form nor substance of soul;
66. These bodies grow; behold the forces elect the souls to go into them, and spirit becometh flesh; when the soul hath gone in, lo, do names occur unto such parents to call the young;
67. Invariably they are whispered secretly unto the parents, whereupon the parents “choose" them. . . .
68. But ever is it true the name designateth the Order of the soul.
69. Numbers, or names, are but credit marks disclosing the soul's progress to date; verily there are other factors representative of that progress, factors having in them the soul's relation to the Cosmos.
70. Deep, deep is the subject; I tell you this hour that souls have come to earth in marches of seven thousand, to live seven thousand years ere more were added; that out of such advent have come the races of mankind as ye do know them.
71. Therefore I say unto you, your brother who is weak hath come to earth belated; mayhap he hath not had your brevet of experience;
72. Pardon him that this is so; know his handicaps; perceive his blind gropings; give yourselves cognizance that once were ye as ye do see him now, and was not guidance given you?
73. If others, so be it, have given you their guidance, can ye not turn about and pay the debt in circumstance?
74. I tell ye that ye do err when ye do say, He is a stupid one, let him hunger by himself until food maketh presentation unto his wantings.
75. All have suffered, all have hungered, all have groped, all have stumbled; it is the order of experience that such things should be of moment unto those who sense, and by their sensings know whereof they are.
76. These matters are discussed with those who have ears to hear, that they may see their brothers' gropings and know whereof the stupid ones are stupid;
77. I enlighten, I strengthen, I do not bedull. . . .
