When Mind, in the form of Poemander, appeared before Hermes Trismegistus and asked him what he wanted to learn, Hermes replied: "I would learn the things that are, and understand their nature, and gain knowledge of God."

From antiquity the most mysterious of systems attempting to reveal the secrets of the universe-"the things that are"-has been that of numbers. The Universe of Numbers unravels these mysteries as it explores the metaphysical and mystical principles inherent in number systems.

Numbers represent both the order of the universe-the outer world-and an inner, psychological or psychic order. This book-a fascinating exploration of number systems-presents the thoughts and ideas of philosophers, mystics, and scientists about a numerical code revealing the mysteries of the Cosmic. It discusses the kabbalistic writings contained in the Sepher Yezirah, and correlates the knowledge and experience of great thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus, Philo, Plotinus, Boehme, Bacon, Fludd, and others who have explored this fascinating subject.

The Universe of Numbers contains many illustrations of esoteric symbols along with their numerical and mystical meanings.
