Will is the human expression of cosmic energy, the various physical and chemical forces known to us, and also dynamic force. It therefore has its numerical relations, because all these cosmic, chemic, and dynamic forms of energy, another name for Life, have their mensuration. If we take the numerical series as comprehended in the numbers 0 to 9, we shall find that, by continual addition of the odd and even, positive and negative, male and female numbers, we eventually derive a further series in which the same values are present, but in a varied order. In each new series the valueof nineis absent.as shown in the following form: 0123456789 135792468 4 8 3 7 2 6 1 6 3 2 1 9 8 7 6 6 3 1 8 6 4 8 4 9 5 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 2 7 2 9 M In the first addition of the digits by pairs we get the series 1 3 5 7 9, including all the odd numbers, followed by 2 4 6 8, all the even numbers. In the next row the first and last numbers, 4 and 5, pair to nine, and so of the rest, 3 and 6, 5 and 4, etc.; but the number 9 is absent from the series. It appears again in the fourth row, but the numbers 4 and 5 are absent. In the fifth row 9 disappears, but the equivalent value is lacking in the figures 2 and 7. In the sixth row 2 3 6 7, making two nines, are absent. In the seventh row 1 2 7 8 9, making three nines, are absent. In the eighth row 1 3 4 5 6 8, making three nines, are absent. In the ninth row 1 3 4 5 6 8 9, making four nines, are absent. In the end we have a return to the unit value of nine. Hence we see that the possible variants of the complete gamut of expression are ten in number, and that they finally resolve themselves...
