Publisher's Synopsis
Our spiritual ancestors encoded their understanding of the cosmos into the very numbers and letters we use to describe the world. Fields as diverse as architecture, fine art, mathematics, and music are all underpinned by a common numeric symbolism. The Elements of the Cosmos: Numbers & Letters as Archetypes pierces the veil to shed a modern light on these ancient mysteries.The text is divided into two main sections. Section I introduces the principles of Sacred Geometry through an exploration of the arithmetic, geometric, and symbolic properties of the first ten digits. Section II investigates the esoteric structure of the Ancient Hebrew Alphabet, linking the letters to the symbolism of the numbers. In addition to the traditional analytic avenues of Idea, Number, and Form, the author reveals a new mode of interpretation: that of Sound Symbolism.Numbers and letters are at the heart of every student's education. In The Elements of the Cosmos: Numbers & Letters as Archetypes, those numbers and letters assume the ponderous, profoundly spiritual values they were originally designed to possess.
