Description: This book delves into the fascinating world of numbers, exploring their significance beyond mere mathematical value. It traces the philosophy of Pythagoras and his followers, who believed numbers held the key to understanding the universe and its underlying principles. Through the lens of ancient wisdom traditions, including the Kabbalah, the author unveils the hidden meanings and symbolism attributed to individual numerals. From the monad representing unity and the divine, to the duad symbolizing duality and the material world, each number carries profound significance. The book further explores the connections between numbers and various aspects of life, including music, astronomy, and even human relationships. It examines the concept of "amicable numbers" and delves into intriguing speculations about the influence of numbers on marriage and offspring. By shedding light on the ancient understanding of numbers, this book invites us to reconsider their power and the deeper truths they may hold about the universe and ourselves.
