"1.4 Ten Sephiroth of Nothingness, Ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand with Wisdom, be wise with Understanding. Examine with them and probe from them. Make each thing stand on its essence and make the creator sit on his throne. "1.7 There are Ten Sephiroth of
Nothingness: their end is embedded in their beginning and their beginning in
their end, like a flame in a burning coal. For the Master is singular, He has no
second. And before One, what do you count?"
This Tree of Life path arrangement is based on the ten basic characters of the Indian/Arabic Numbers: 0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9, which are called Ideal Numbers. This is not to be confused with the 'ideal numbers' of Kummer or Dedekind's 'ideals' in 'Ring Theory'. The Key used in this lineup is the 'perfect' number 6. Six is the common denominator of all the numbers being used when reduced; that is when all the digit numbers of the paths and spheres are added together and reduced down to a single digit. No other Ideal number, only six, will obtain a result of all the ten accumulation points equaling the same number. The numbers of the paths are derived from the 22 numbers of the Tarot, 0 through 21, the 22 Hebrew letters, and the 10 Planets and 12 Signs of the Zodiac (10+12=22). Zero adds no quantity that is not already intrinsically present and doesn't change the nature of the number it is added to; however it is the qualifying source for the value all the quantitative numbers. It is the pause which defines one word, it is the silence which defines a sound, it is the light which defines the darkness. You might also note the Ideal value of the four divisions within the tree of life in this arrangement:
