Books on numerology. Mysticism and symbolism of numbers in the Holy Scriptures (experiments on interpretations in the Orthodox Christian tradition)

The mysterious magic of numbers assigns to each number its characteristic vibration, made up of a combination of certain properties. Having deciphered the meaning of the numbers in the date of birth or name, you can find out the archetypal quality that embodies natural talents, character and fateful signs on a person's path.

Since the time of Pythagoras, specific characteristics have been attributed to each elementary number. Let's consider in detail the meaning of numbers in numerology.

What do the numbers from 1 to 9 mean in numerology?

As we mentioned earlier, each number in numerology has a strictly defined, "magical" meaning. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

The number 50 in spiritual numerology means creativity (both Divine and human), which fully expressed itself at a certain stage and can rest, ripening for next achievements.

The number 50 from the language of numbers is translated as "the threshold between one stage of Creation and another." It should be borne in mind that there is nothing in life that is not creativity. The absence of creativity is also a kind of creativity, because any “absence” is also created!

Number 50

The meaning of the number 50 is composed of the meanings of two numbers: five and zero. Number 5 in spiritual numerology means "creativity", "war" and "sex". But since war is the creation of history, and sex is the creation of the body, it would not be a mistake to say that the five means only Creativity. The number 0 from the language of numbers is translated as "absolute rest".

In the interpretation of the number 50, the key concept is “creativity”. Life itself is Creativity, and everything that does not seem to us to be creativity is still its derivative. Therefore, fifty can be called the number of Life, or rather, the hidden potential of life.

Fifty is an internally ripening, but externally still unmanifest potential creativity. By the way, spiritual numerology is also unique in that it allows you to trace the entire evolution of Creation - from the initial spiritual impulses of the Universe (or a person) to the final manifestation and rooting in the material world.

Angel number 50 meaning

The meaning of the number 50 is the joint creativity of God and Man. In general, divine and human creativity exist according to the same principle: the crushing of the old and the creation of the new.

The difference between divine creativity and human creativity is only in scale. Although, by and large, and in scale there is not the slightest difference if we talk about a person as a spiritual entity, and not just as a person.

We are created in the image and likeness of the Most High and create our worlds in the same way as He does his own. Home, work, family, friends - isn't this the world that we “paint” for ourselves, painting it with our own colorful thoughts?

The world around us is an exhibition of our paintings, which we try in every possible way to fill the price in order to sell at a higher price or exchange for power, fame, respect of others ...

When interpreting the number 50 by the method of spiritual numerology, our distorted idea of ​​the creation of the world is striking. The creation of the world is not only a final process that fit into six days of creation, but also continues constantly through Man. That is, God created us, and we, in turn, created (and continue to create) the world in which we live and to which we are accustomed. It turns out something like "the world within the world."

If something in life is not going the way you would like, write complaints to yourself. Going to church, mosque, synagogue pacifies the soul, but does not solve the accumulated problems. Why?

Because the Faith and Creativity of the universe are by no means the same. Creativity is the offspring of Chaos, and faith is the offspring of Order. For a deeper understanding of the number 50, you can use another allegory: creativity is the Tree of Life, and faith is a support, if the Tree of Life bends under the weight of our everyday troubles ...

Number 50 in a person's life

The number 50 explains to us the following: whoever wants to fill his Existence with meaning (and therefore joy), he must approach his own life creatively. Precisely creatively, and not from the position of a weak-willed suppliant, pitying that babble that you cannot escape from fate.

God helps us to create, but only if we ourselves strive for it, trusting in the Lord as the Creator, and not as a strict Judge!

We all have some kind of chronically criminal perception of the world - "crime", "punishment", "rights", "wrong", "judge", etc. Try to perceive surrounding reality from the standpoint of "creator-creation", and you will see how pleasantly your life will change! At the same time, it will become much easier for you to understand the language of numbers.

After all, numerology without a properly tuned mind turns into useless chatter about numbers. Especially when it comes to two-digit numbers ending in zero (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, etc.). Such numbers always contain the bottomless depth of Sense.

Take, for example, the meaning of the number 50. When interpreting it, it is necessary to understand how God creates us, and we create the world in which we live. This is expressed in the evolution of creativity, reflected in number series from 50 to 59.

Number 50 - Human Life Expectancy

In the number 50, in fact, the duration of human life is laid! After all, a person does not die of diseases, they are only an external manifestation of the true cause.

The real Cause of death is when a person exhausts his original potential for Creativity.

We are all creators and our Life has meaning only as long as we are able to create!

Someone will object to me: but there are many talented people who have passed away "at full gallop", they still have to create hundreds of books, films, make a lot of scientific discoveries! Alas, this is a sad and sentimental delusion ...

If they could create something else, they would not die. Nothing in nature dies before it exhausts its inner, creative potential. Law of life!

Further, after the first ten, after the mysterious number 10, two-digit numbers begin. They are a combination of single-digit numbers and are therefore secondary to them. Each two-digit number, by summing up its constituent digits, can be reduced to a single-digit number, which should be considered its hidden essence. Such a single-digit number refers to a two-digit one as an entity to a phenomenon. If single-digit numbers are divine and archetypal, then double-digit numbers can be defined as "the numbers of creation." Nevertheless, since the act of Creation is considered sacred, then two-digit numbers also carry a sacred aspect. Calculations and fortune-telling usually take into account only the numbers belonging to the first nine. Let's take a quick look at the symbolism of some of the most important to us. two-digit numbers.

Number II (Eleven)

It was considered a sacred number, symbolizing "duality in the use of force" (Moebius), which led either to cleansing spiritual consequences, or to destruction and chaos. This is due to the ambivalent nature of II, based on the negation of 10.
Biblical semantic symbolism, developed by Augustine, says that if ten is the law, then the number eleven carries a revolutionary trampling on any idea of ​​legitimacy. In the sacred esoteric sense, it is a number that symbolizes the concept of purification, a sign of life and death, which opens the way to the higher spheres of being. Represents the number of Jesus Christ's most faithful disciples. H. E. Kerlot writes about number II as follows:
"Eleven symbolizes transition, excess and danger, as well as conflict and martyrdom. According to Schneider, there is a certain infernal property in it: since there is a certain surplus of the perfect number (ten) in it, then, therefore, it means incontinence; but the same time it corresponds (like a two) to the grief in the form of a mandorla, the central point of the symbolic Transformation and antithesis, since it is composed of one plus one (comparable in its way of formation with a two). "

The occult-hermetic tradition identified with number II the idea of ​​egregorian chains governed by divine will. The ratio of the numbers 5 and 6, that is, their addition 5 + 6 = 11, gives the formula used in ceremonial magic: "The microcosm acts on the macrocosm" (the numbers 6 and 5 were considered the numbers of the Macrocosm and the microcosm). The Sufi tradition also attached great importance to the number II, considering it to be the main one in its numerical symbolism, where it meant one of the names of Allah. René Guénon emphasized the universal presence of the number II in Dante's symbolism and many secret organizations and spoke of the importance of his works:
"22 is the number of letters of the Hebrew alphabet, it is known what meaning it has in Kabbalah; 33 is the number of years of Christ's earthly life, which occurs in the symbolic age of the Masonic Rosicrucian, as well as in the number of degrees of Scottish Freemasonry; among the Arabs, this is total number the meaning of the name of Allah, and 99 is the number of the main divine attributes according to Islamic tradition. "

The deep sacredness of number II is emphasized by the researcher of ancient Egyptian numerology I.P. Shmelev, who writes about the surviving crypts of the country by whom the following:
"In the crypt of Khesi-Ra there were 22 panels, including one in the title (" dean "). This means that there are II fields with images and the same number on the back sides, on which diagrams are written, apparently explaining the use of the canon technology. Total 22 fields that carry information ... The main scientific provisions (principles) of Ancient Egypt are formulated in 22 arcana, consisting of two groups of II arcana in each. The first group set out the fundamental ideas about the world order. The number 22 was magical (power), because the first unit the second step (tier) of the decimal system is the initial (setting) step of the next decimal "layer" - it is at the same time the "hierarch" of the previous ten. " keepers of secret (hermetic) knowledge, which, as noted, included the knowledge of harmony. Upper Egypt) and the same number of "stand-ins" in the North (in Lower Egypt). "

Guenon notes that "The number 22 was preserved in the ritual of the 33 Scottish degree, in which it is associated with the date of the abolition of the Order of the Knights Templar, calculated according to the Masonic chronology, and not generally accepted."
It is not out of place to recall the 11-year cycle of solar activity, which, according to Chizhevsky's discovery, has such a great impact on the Earth.

Number 12 (Twelve)

It was considered a superperfect number, a symbol of the "philosopher's stone", completeness and the divine circle that revolves the universe. The duodecimal structure of the universe, the presence of the number 12 in many realities of life and religious and spiritual traditions have been noted by many researchers. So Losev, speaking about ancient culture and the works of Homer, testifies:
"In addition to the above 12 Hesiod titans, we find in Homer: 12 Thracians killed by Diomedes, 12 Trojans killed when Achilles appeared after the death of Patroclus; 12 captives sacrificed by Achilles; 12 sacrificial bulls, 12 members of the Odyssey reconnaissance, 12 Ithakian suitors of Penelope , 24 (twice. 12) bridegroom from Zama; 12 slaves engaged in grinding grain; 12 unfaithful and executed maids in the house of Odysseus, 12 Theacian kings, 12 horses of Agamemnon for reconciliation with Achilles, 12 foals of Boreas, 12 sacrificial calves of Hector, 12 bulls as the price of a tripod for the winner of the games in honor of Patroclus, 12 mares for one of Penelope's suitors, 12 legs for Scylla. And these are not all examples of how the number 12 was used in Homer. It was applied to cities, ships, sheds for pigs , amphoras, axes, jewelry, clothes. "

Indeed, "12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 noon and night, 12 main olympic gods, 12 biblical tribes, 12 apostles, 12 days of Christmas "according to the idea of ​​the researcher of symbolism of numbers A. Olgin speak about the all-pervading and omnipresent nature of the number 12. Arcanological hermeticism connects with this number the idea of ​​sacrifice, as the only possible condition for man's ascent to God. Kerlot writes: "Twelve symbolizes cosmic order and salvation. It corresponds to the number of signs of the zodiac and is the basis of all duodecimal groups. The concepts of space and time, as well as the wheel and circle, are associated with it."

The number 12, many occultists note, is a product of 3 and 4, containing all manifestations of matter and spirit, various rhythms of the universe, the world order of the manifested cosmos.
Of all the numbers, "twelve" has the widest coverage, since the Tarot formulas contain two groups of twelve and four of fourteen, but the components of these numbers do not have sacred and archetypal significance. Kerlot writes on this subject:
"Considering that the two essential prototypes of quantity are the numbers" three "and" four "(meaning dynamism or internal spirituality, and stability or external activity, respectively), it can be argued that their sum and their product give two numbers following them in importance: "seven" and "twelve." the number “twelve.” Even if at first the structures consist of less than twelve elements, later they tend to tend to the perfect number “twelve”, as, for example, in music, where the modal scale of seven notes developed into the twelve-note system of Arnold Schoenberg and his school . "

The circular nature of the number twelve testifies to the presence in it of a special order based on schemes that can disintegrate either into a purely internal three-part division of an external fourfold scheme, or into an external four-part division of an internal ternary scheme. All this is evidence of the special symbolism of the Zodiac, built on the principle of the possibility of the manifestation of the four elements in three different ways (levels). Together this gives twelve divisions. The mystic Saint-Yves d "Alveider believed that in communities of people following the symbolic tradition," the circle that stands above all and comes closest to the mysterious center consists of twelve divisions, which represent the highest initiation (ability, virtue and knowledge) and which, among other things correspond to the Zodiac. "Interesting thoughts about this number are expressed by Guenon, who claims that the twelvefold formula can be found in the" circular council "of the Dalai Lama, in the person of the legendary knights of the Round Table and the historical twelve peers of France, Kerlot points out that according to this principle the Etruscan state was divided, and Romulus established the institution of twelve lictors.

The symbolism of the number 12 was closely related to the image of the Heavenly Jerusalem. The revelation of John the Evangelist contains the following description of the Mystical City:
"It (the city) has a large and high wall, has twelve gates and on them twelve angels; on the gates are written the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: from the east three gates, from the north three gates, from the south three gates, from the west three gates. the city has twelve foundations and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. " Elsewhere in the Apocalypse it says: "And he showed me a clear river of water of life, bright as a crystal, coming from the throne of God and the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on both sides of the river, the tree of life, bearing fruit twelve times, bearing fruit every month; and the leaves trees for the healing of nations. "

Number 13 (Thirteen)

Usually the number 13 is considered unlucky, because in many countries this figure is absent on the doors of offices, hotel rooms, cabins of ships, houses. This is due to the fact that this number is one more than a dozen, which is considered to be superperfect, and this is dangerous due to disharmony, explosion, too rapid transition to a new quality. Hence the connection of this number with the concept of death, since the latter means a transition to a new phase of life, which is another being in relation to this-worldly existence. Occult tradition claims that the number 13 contains several types of death, depending on the causes that cause it, which is expressed in various ways of decomposing the number itself. Here are the types of death that Mobius distinguishes:

1) 13 = 1 + 12 - death voluntarily accepted as a sacrifice;
2) 13 = 12 + 1 - violent death;
3) 13 = 11 + 2 - death consciously choosing its pole;
4) 13=3+10 - natural death from the point of view of human logic;
5) 13 = 10 + 3 - natural death from the point of view of the logic of the macrocosm, death in childbirth;
6) 13 = 4 + 9 - death, which revealed its secrets during initiation
7) 13 = 9 + 4 - premature death from inappropriate living conditions;
8) 13 = 5 + 8 - death due to the requirement of the law (for example, the death penalty);
9) 13 = 8 + 5 - death based on the violation of the highest law, that is, suicide;
10) 13 = 6 + 7 - death in the struggle for the victory of the idea;
11) 13 = 7 + 6 - death in an unequal struggle;
12) 13 = 12 + 1 - death as a consequence of the completeness of a person's task on earth.

The number 13 played an important role in necromancy and dark cults, where it was used as a force through which spirits were summoned. At the same time, from an esoteric point of view, the number 13 symbolizes death, after which the transformation and resurrection begins.
The number 13 is prominent in Masonic symbolism. It was introduced into the United States Seal during the adoption of the Constitution in 1789. The 13 stars above the head of the American eagle represent the 13 states that have joined the Union. The Solomon Seal, with its magical base, includes 13 stars. Symbolism researcher F. Goodman in his book "Magic Symbols" writes:
"The number 13, undoubtedly, was of great importance, which explains the presence of thirteen arrows and thirteen branches of an olive branch in the other paw in the eagle's left paw. One paw symbolizes peace, the other war ... these extremes were a reflection of the requirements of the times."

The Thirteenth Aeon was considered the main aeon in the Gnostic tradition, governing the other twelve and associated with Jesus Christ.
The mystical root of number 13, which comes as a result of theosophical addition of numbers 1 and 3, is the number four - the sacred tetraktis of the Pythagoreans.

Number 14 (Fourteen)

Expressing the Rosicrucian point of view on this number, Moebius defines its basic quality as "moderation." Ancient authors consider it in a similar way, identifying 14 with the idea of ​​hermetic equilibrium.
A. Holguin recalls that it consists of two sevens, which the ancient Kabbalists considered a sign of happiness and "meant the number of transformations." X. E. Kerlot states that "fourteen denotes fusion and organization, as well as justice and restraint." An arcanological approach to the number 14 connects it with the concept of deduction, reversibility or irreversibility of certain processes, and "synthetic study of the entropy of closed systems" (Moebius).
The mystical root of the number 14, obtained as a result of the theosophical addition of the numbers 1 and 4, is the number five.

Number 15 (fifteen)

This number has been considered by many authors and what distinguished their opinions was their diversity. Some saw in this number a divine manifestation, others, on the contrary, a devilish principle. So H. E. Kerlot quite categorically asserted that "fifteen is clearly erotic and associated with the devil." Indeed, one of the meanings of the 15th Arcanum is the figure of Baphomet, the lower aspect of which can be identified with the devil. However, the number 15 had other, much more positive, meanings and was present in biblical numerical symbolism. A. Holgin gives the following characteristics of fifteen:
"The number of spiritual ascensions, the fifteenth of the seventh month, was respected and consecrated. Mysteriously connected with the problem of good and evil. It can imperceptibly make a person a slave to pentagrams. For Kabbalists, it represented the meaning of evil."

The number 15 in occult philosophy and practice has been identified with the so-called vortex, which has a dual nature. If we approach the innermost essence of the number 15 from the point of view of arcanology, then we can come to the idea of ​​choosing paths inherent in the very nature of the Arcanum. This is predetermined by the mystical root of the number 15, which equals the number six, which is again related to the idea of ​​the original choice.

Number 16 (Sixteen)

It was considered a lucky number, since Pythagorean symbolism thought of it as composed of four fours - sacred tetraktis. Multiplying four by four acted as a guarantee of happiness.
The number 16 is closely related to the number 10: both of them, according to the definition of Rene Guénon, "occupy the same place, the fourth, in the sequence of numbers, both triangular and quadratic." In other words, they are contained both in the triangle and in the square. In total, they give 26, but this number is the numerical value of the letters that form the famous arcanological tetragram - "yod-he-wah-he". Guenon notes that "10 is the numerical value of the first letter (iod), and 16 is the sum of three other letters (hat-wah-het); this division of the tetragram is completely normal, and the correspondence of its two parts is also very significant: Tetraktis is thus identified with iodine is in the triangle, while the rest of the tetragram is inscribed in the square placed under the triangle. " Both the triangle and the square contain four rows of points found in those figures of geomancy, which, by their quaternary combinations of 1 and 2, give the number 16 = 4x4. Guénon says further that "geomancy, as its very name indicates, has a special connection with the land, which, according to the Far Eastern tradition, is symbolized by a square."

The astrological tradition, which considered the laws of action of numbers in the metaphysical plane of thinking, associated the number sixteen with the concept of "deduction", built on the confirmation of some theses at the expense of excluding others. - If you look at how this principle of deduction works on all three occult planes, it becomes clear why there are three headings sixteenth Arcana have so total value: "Logical Exclusion", "Astral Compulsion" and "Physical Destruction". This general meaning of the number 16, associated with the idea of ​​struggle, overcoming and submission, is due to the fact that its mystical root, which comes as a result of the theosophical addition of the numbers 1 and 6, is the number seven, which symbolizes victory and domination.

Number 17 (Seventeen)

It was considered a hopeful number. The arcanological tradition associated it with the idea of ​​foresight, the ability to look into the future, therefore, in almost all arcanological treatises, astrology, which in a certain sense is the science of forecasting the future by the arrangement of stars, was considered against the background of the presentation of the essence of the seventeenth Arcanum. That is why a large eight-pointed star surrounded by the same small ones was considered the graphic symbol of this Arcanum and the number. Hence the titles of the seventeenth Arcanum, explaining the deep essence of this number - "Hope", "Intuition", "Natural divination", associated with the ability to read the signs of nature, that is, properties with the help of the inner to comprehend the outside. This ability is based on a deep balance between the inner and the outer, which in turn goes back to the mystical root of the number 17 (1 + 7) formed with the help of theosophical addition - the number eight, which is a symbol of balance and karma.

Number 18 (Eighteen)

In the occult, it was considered a number that brings misfortune and punishment, personifying fate. Arcanological tradition associates it with the concept of "occult enemies", and even "envolation", as well as with the action of a hierarchical law, which in this case may have a negative connotation.
The mystical root of this number, to which the theosophical addition of the two numbers that make it up (1 + 8), is the number nine - the last single-digit digit of a natural series of numbers and, accordingly, the last archetypal single-digit number. In more detail, the properties of numbers 9 and 18 will be considered separately, in the chapter "Numbers, cycles, history".

Number 19 (Nineteen)

The Hermetic tradition associates this number with the Sun and the idea of ​​"solar making", proclaimed by Hermes Trismegistus. Alchemists saw in it a sacred symbol of gold and believed that it is also the number of the "philosopher's stone", which carries completeness and perfection, which are born from the combination of the first and last single-digit numbers of the archetypal plan. In Kabbalah, this number was also considered auspicious, since it consists of two lucky numbers, which give rise to an even happier and more perfect number.
The mystical root of the number, which comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of two numbers (2 + 9), is the number ten, which personifies the idea of ​​completeness and law.

Number 20 (Twenty)

This number, completing the second ten two-digit numbers, symbolizes the idea of ​​change, evolution, renewal. One of the subtitles of the twentieth Arcana is the concept of transformation performed in time. This is due to the fact that the planet Saturn, esoterically responsible for the management of the processes of time, is considered, according to Mobius, and the Rosicrucian tradition, as the astrological patron of this Arcana.
The mystical root of the number 20, which comes as a result of the theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (2 + 0), is the number two - a symbol of the Great Nature, the Mother of All That Is and Divine Duality.

Number 21 (Twenty one)

It was considered the number of the "crown of magic". From an arcanological point of view, the twenty-first Arcanum is exceptional and stands out so much from other Arcana that it was given a second special name - the "zero" Arcanum. The number 21 is associated with divinations, incantations and theurgic actions, since it consists of three sevens or seven threes, the combination of which was considered to have extraordinary occult properties. Therefore, prayers, mantras, incantatory formulas of various religions and esoteric traditions require either three or seven times repetition.
The mystical root of the number that comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (2 + 1) is the number three - a symbol of Divine Reason, Son, Harmony.

Number 22 (Twenty two)

It was considered a number that personifies the highest Reason and deep wisdom, which is of a final, finite nature. It is not for nothing that the great Serpent, which bites its own tail, is considered a graphic symbol of this number. The number of letters in the Hebrew language, the alphabet of which was considered to be solar.
The mystical root of the number 22, which comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (2 + 2), is the number four - the divine Tetraktis of the Pythagoreans.

Number 24 (Twenty four)

It was considered sacred both in the East and in the West. The Indian philosophical system Sankhya considered this number as a sacred symbol of the universe, corresponding to the number of primordial qualities (sattvas) of which it consists. The alchemical tradition sought to link this number with geometric spatial properties, spoke of six pyramids, "each of which consists of four triangles", meaning the elements and giving in total "the magic number 24, the number of the Elders before the Throne" (Manly Hall).
Jacob Boehme considers the number 24 as a mystical doubling of the number 12, associated with the number of letters of the alphabet:
"The number twelve encompasses two kingdoms: the angelic and the human. Each of these kingdoms, in turn, contains two seners: one fiery - the property of the abyss, and the other airy - the property of animals and earthly creatures. The center of each of these seners produces new seners, earthly or fiery, depending on the planet; this is how the number twenty-four occurs, and here is the base of the letters of the alphabet. "
The mystical root of this number is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.

Number 26 (twenty six)

It was considered a sacred number primarily in the Kabbalistic tradition. If we consider the Tree of Sephiroth and add up the numbers of the four Sephiroth in the central column starting at the highest point of the Tree - Crown (Keter), then the resulting sum 1 + 6 + 9 + 10 will be equal to 26. Therefore, this number is called Jehovah's number.
The mystical root of number 26 will be the eight - the symbol of Karma with its law of balance between cause and effect.

Number 27 (twenty seven)

The Pythagorean tradition considered this number sacred, at the level of the third ten, completing the cycle of the first numbers and representing the symbol of the World Soul in both its static and dynamic aspects. Outlining the Pythagorean and Platonic systems of views about numbers, the French astronomer and esoteric Camille Flammarion wrote:
"... 27 is the sum of the first linear numbers, - the numbers of primes among themselves, their squares and cubes, added with a unit: first 1, meaning a point; then 2 and 3, the first prime numbers, of which one is even and the other is odd; 4 and 9, first squares, both squares, one is even and the other is odd; finally, 8 and 27, both volumes, or cubes, one is even and the other is odd; and the last (i.e. 27) is the sum of all (F3) first ones. So, taking the number 27 as a symbol of the universe, and the numbers enclosed in it as symbols of the elements and constituent parts of the universe, it turns out that the World Soul, which is the basis and form of the world composition and order, contains the same elements as the number 27. "The mystical root of number 27 is nine.

Number 28 (twenty eight)

It was considered a number mystically associated with the moon, since it was equal to the number of days of the lunar month. Sacred number in Islam. The number of letters in the Arabic language, the alphabet of which was considered to be lunar.
In the kabbalistic tradition, 28 is the number of a perfect person, whose triune composition (spirit, soul and body) is numerically expressed. Jose Argueles states that "28 is the sum of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7, which can be represented as a triangle with a side equal to seven." Therefore, three periods of 28 years are equal to 84, a number that is considered the ideal length of a human life.
The mystical root of the number 28, which comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (2 + 8), is the number ten - the Sacred Decade of the Pythagorean tradition.

Number 32 (Thirty two)

It was considered in the Pythagorean tradition a symbol of justice, since, as A. Holgin wrote, "it can be consistently divided into equal parts, without giving any preference." The sacred number of Kabbalah, which the Jewish tradition endowed with special wisdom and with which it associated the idea of ​​32 paths to God.
The Kabbalistic tradition calls these Paths thirty-two teeth of the Big Face or thirty-two nerves coming from the Divine Brain. Manly Hall notes that they are "analogous to the 32 degrees of Freemasonry, which elevate a candidate to the position of Prince of the Royal Secret." The name of God in the original Hebrew Scripture occurs 32 times in the first chapter of Genesis.

Kabbalists believed that “ten (numbers) plus twenty-two (letters) give the occult number 32, which means 32 ways to cognize the Mysteries of Creation, carefully hidden from the uninitiated.
Manly Hall states that "in the mystical analysis of the human body, according to the rabbis, 32 dorsal vertebrae lead up to the skull - the Temple of Wisdom."
The mystical root of the number 32, which comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (3 + 2), is the number five - a symbol of the Divine individuality and the Perfect man.

Number 33 (thirty three)

The sacred number of many spiritual traditions, including the Russian one (thirty-three heroes "," thirty years and three years "). A. Olgin writes:
“Some researchers find a connection between 33 letters of the alphabet and 33 vertebrae in the human spine. And even the number of cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5) and coccygeal (4) is not considered a simple series of numbers. On the other hand, they correspond to certain letters of the alphabet, on the other - to 7 main planets, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 5 primary elements in the YANG state, 5 primary elements in the YIN state and 4 elements - Fire, Air, Water, Earth.

In many traditions, including the Christian one, it is considered a symbol of the sacred age, upon reaching which all spiritual powers and abilities are fully revealed in a properly developing person. The age of Jesus Christ.
The mystical root of the number 33, which comes as a result of the act of theosophical addition of the two numbers of its constituents (3 + 3), is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.

Number 40 (Forty)

It was considered the number of absolute completeness, completeness. Blessed Augustine believed that the number 40 expresses a person's journey to truth and God.

Holgin points out that "for the normal internal development of a child, you need to wear it for 7x40 = 280 days - ten (" full number ") lunar months and that the word" quarantine "literally means" forty days. "The researcher of numbers A. Zinoviev wrote :

Six is ​​the mystical root of number 60 - a symbol of Divine balance.

Number 64 (Sixty four)

It was considered a sacred number in ancient Chinese symbolism. The "Book of Changes" speaks about 64 hexagrams, the meaning of which must be unraveled. In addition to this book, the sacredness of this number is well illustrated by the game of chess, since the chessboard, as you know, is divided into 64 cells. The meaning of the figures and their movement is deeply symbolic. Manly Hall gives the following description of the esoteric meaning of the game of chess, accepted in both the Indian and Persian-Zoroastrian traditions:
"The white king is Ormuzd, the black king is Ahriman, and in the vastness of space an endless war is played out between Light and Darkness through all ages. From the philosophical side, the king represents the spirit, the queen - the mind, bishops (elephants) - emotions, knights (horses) - vitality and castles (rooks) - the physical body Pawns and pieces on the side of the king are positive, and on the side of the queen - negative Pawns (eight parts of the soul) are sensory impulses and instruments of perception The white king and his retinue symbolize the I and his means. The black king with his retinue does not symbolize the I, but the false Ego and his legion. The game of chess thus represents the eternal struggle of parts of human complex nature against his own shadow. The nature of each chess player is revealed in the way in which he moves the pieces, and geometry is the key to his interpretation.For example, the rook (head) moves along the squares, and the bishops (emotions) move diagonally: the king, being a spirit, cannot be captured, but breaks the game, being surrounded in such a way that he cannot escape captivity. "
The mystical root of number 64 is one - the source of all numbers and the symbol of primacy.

Number 108 (one hundred eight)

It is considered sacred in Buddhism, where the number of beads in a rosary for meditation and the number of major gods in the pantheon is expressed by this figure. Western occult tradition associated it with sacred meaning primarily because it contained a ninefold (that is, complete and perfect in itself) repetition of the number 12. The number of names of God Vishnu.
A rosary containing 108 beads is called uttama, that is, the best. It is important to note that the circle of the rosary on the thread ends with one large bead (109, if the bead is numbered 108), called Meru and symbolizing the highest divine principle.

Number 360 (three hundred sixty)

The sacred number of many traditions of the East and West, symbolizing the circle and the Zodiac, separated by 360 degrees, the Sacred age of Enoch (360 years), indicated in the Samaritan "Bible".

Number 365 (Three hundred sixty five)

The sacred number of the Egyptian, Gnostic and Kabbalistic traditions. The symbol for the solar year of 365 days. Abraxas of Egyptian symbology, personifying the Sun, "Lord of the Sky". In the cosmogony of the Gnostics, the number of abodes of the Highest Unknown - Abraxas, over which he dominated, was 365.
The solar year number of 365 days is the numerical value of the word Neilos (Nile). This number and the Bull with the sickle of the Moon and the Tau cross between its horns, and the Earth under its astronomical symbol (@) are the most phallic symbols of later antiquity. But since Osiris was identified with the Nile, he correlated with the Sun and a year of 365 days, and Isis was considered the Moon, Mother Earth and the bed of this river. Such high symbolism allows us to apply the Pythagorean key to the decryption of this number. Blavatsky argues that the number 365 should be read as:
Earth (3) - quickened (6) - by the Spirit of Life (5). It should not be forgotten that according to legend, Enoch lived for 365 years and, according to the rabbis, opened a year period of 365 days.
However, in the Hermetic tradition, it is argued that it was Hermes Trismegistus who carried out the reform in the reckoning of time, thanks to which the calendar year began to include not 360, but 365 days, which made it possible to streamline many processes of life on the planet.
The mystical root of this number is the Pythagorean pentad.

Number 432 (four hundred thirty two)

A sacred number in both the East and the West. It is an inverted Tetraktis of the Pythagoreans, taken without one (4 + 3 + 2). Its deep meaning is well revealed by Blavatsky:
"The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 are successive emanations from the Mother (Space) as she forms, going down, her garment, spreading it along the seven steps of Creation. The wave returns to itself when one end connects with the other in infinity, and the numbers 4, 3, 2 are manifested, since this is the only side of the veil that we can perceive, the first number is stuck in its inaccessible solitude.
... the Father, who is the Infinite Time, gives birth to the Mother, who is the infinite Space, in Eternity; and the Mother begets the Father in the Manvantaras, which are parts of durations, on that Day when the world becomes one ocean. Then the Mother becomes Nora (Waters - Great Depth) for the Naga (Supreme Spirit), so that he rests - or moves - on her, when, as it is said; 1,2,3,4 descend and remain in the world of the invisible, while 4, 3, 2 become limits in the visible world in order to deal with the manifestations of the Father (Time).
This applies to the Mahayugas, which become 432 in numbers, and with the addition of zeros, 432000. "
It may also be added that the number 432,000 was considered the duration of the existence of the Chaldean divine dynasties.
The mystical root of this number is again nine.

Number 515 (Five hundred fifteen)

It was considered sacred in the Templar tradition. Internally connected with the famous "Number of the Beast" in the Apocalypse - 666 and raised on Dante's shield in his "Divine Comedy". The researcher of Dante's symbolism Benini wrote the following about this:
"Dante then conceived to arrange the intervals between the prophecies and other prominent places in the poem in such a way that they would correspond to each other through a certain number of verses, chosen, naturally, among the symbolic numbers. The result was a system of consonances and rhythmic periods, replaced by another, but much more more complex and secret than the previous one, as befits the language of revelation, which is spoken by beings who foresee the future.This is how the famous 515 and 666 appear, which the trilogy is full of: 666 verses separates Ciacco's prophecy from Virgil's prophecy, 515 - Farinat's prophecy from Ciacco; again appears 666, between the prophecy of Brunetto Latini from Farinat, and again 515 between the prophecy of Nicholas III from Messire Brunetto. "

Guénon also, as always at length, expresses himself on this score:
"These numbers, which so regularly, as we see, alternate, oppose each other in the symbolism adopted by Dante: indeed, it is known that in the Apocalypse 666 is the" number of the beast "and that an infinite number of calculations were made, often fantastic, to find a name Antichrist, the numerical value of which it should be, "for this number is human", on the other hand, 515 is specially announced in Beatrice's prediction with a meaning directly opposite to the first: "Five hundred and fifteen, messenger of God ..." It was believed that this is 515 the same the very same as the mysterious Veltro, the enemy of the she-wolf, which thus turns out to be identical to the apocalyptic beast, even assumed that the one and the other symbol denotes Henry of Luxembourg.We are not going to discuss the meaning of the word Veltro, but we do not think what should be seen in is not a hint of a certain character; For us, it is simply about one aspect of the general concept of Dante, created by him regarding Empire (the Emperor, as Dante conceived him, is completely similar to Shakravarti or the world monarch of the Hindus, whose essential function is to reign the world of Sharvab Hamika, that is, to spread peace throughout the earth; you can also compare this theory of the Empire and the theory of the caliphate among the mueddins). Benini, noting that the number 515 is written in Latin letters as DXV, interprets these letters as the initials for Dante, Veltro di Cristo. But this interpretation is very stretched, besides, nothing allows us to assume that Dante wanted to identify himself with this "messenger of God." In fact, it is enough to swap the letters in places to get DVX, that is, the word Dux (leader, duke), which is understandable without explanation; we add that the sum of the numbers 515 gives II .... This Dux could well have been Henry of Luxembourg, if you like, but above all he was a completely different head, who could be chosen by the same organizations for the realization of a certain goal, which they captured in social order and which Scottish Freemasonry still refers to as "the kingdom of the Holy Empire "."

In addition to the sacred imperial symbol, the number 515 was also a number expressing the spiritual plane of being in the Templar cosmogony. The mystical root of the number is number II.

Number 666 (Six hundred sixty six)

This famous apocalyptic "Number of the Beast" will be dealt with separately at a later date. The mystical root of number 666 is nine.

Number 777 (seven hundred seventy seven)

It was considered sacred in many esoteric and mystical traditions of the East and West. Its innermost meaning was not given out to the uninitiated and curious. To the question of one of the Theosophists about the nature of this number, the Great Teacher, the Mahatma of the East replied: "Try to solve the problem of 777 incarnations ... Although I am forced to refuse to inform you ... nevertheless, if you solve the problem on your own, it will be my duty to confirm this." ... The sacredness of this number lies in the fact that it connects the two main numbers of the universe - three and seven, since the threefold repetition of seven has a deep occult meaning. It has to do both with the mystery of the Cosmic Cycles in the aspect of Creation, and with the mystery of human evolution. This is manifested in the fact that a person has 7 main chakras located in the spinal column, 21 secondary chakras and 28 small energy centers, which ignite automatically during transmutation. In total, they are expressed by the number 77. However, since a person has the total number of his bodies equal to the number 7, the number of Creation appears again
777.
The mystical root of this number is the symbol of the Divine Mind - the number three.

Number 888 (Eight hundred eighty eight)

The sacred number of Christian esotericism, considered the number of the Messiah. The Secret Doctrine of Blavatsky contains a hint at an explanation of the meaning of this number:
"The Mystery of Agathodemon, the legend of which states -" I am Khnum, the Sun of the World, 700 ", can only solve the Mystery of Jesus, whose name is" 888 ". This is not the key of St. Peter or the dogma of the church, but Narfex is the Rod of the Candidate to Dedication, - which must be wrested from the clutches of the long-silent Sphinx of past centuries. "
The mystical root of this number is the number six - a symbol of cosmic balance.

Number 999 (nine hundred ninety nine)

The sacred number of the Rosicrucian tradition, symbolizing the Supreme Divine Love, Amor. It is an inverted "Number of the Beast" - 666. The mystical root of the number is nine.

Number 1000 (One thousand)

It is considered a sacred number in the East, where it symbolizes the sacred spiritual and energy center of the human body - the thousand-petalled lotus (sahasrara), and in the West, where they saw in it "absolute perfection", "cube of ten", contact with which leads to the "perfection of all genera of numbers "and the multiplication of harmony. The mystical root of this number is one.

Number 144000 (One hundred forty four thousand)

The sacred number in Christian symbolism and, above all, in the "Revelation of John the Theologian", where it means the number of future saints and righteous people who are destined to be saved and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Formed by multiplying 12 by 12, which symbolizes a certain number of tribes destined for Eternal Life. The mystical root of this number is nine.

Number 50 in spiritual numerology means creativity (both Divine and human), which fully expressed itself at a certain stage and can rest, ripening for the next achievements.

Number 50 - Human Life Expectancy

In the number 50, in fact, the duration of human life is laid! After all, a person does not die of diseases, they are only an external manifestation of the true cause.

The real Cause of death is when a person exhausts his original potential for Creativity.
We are all creators and our Life has meaning only as long as we are able to create!

Someone will object to me: but there are many talented people who have passed away "at full gallop", they still have to create hundreds of books, films, make a lot of scientific discoveries! Alas, this is a sad and sentimental delusion ...

If they could create something else, they would not die. Nothing in nature dies before it exhausts its inner, creative potential. Law of life!
