1
One is the unity of the Creator, infinite and eternal; and one is two halves that make a whole; for something cannot come from nothing, yet everything is and always has been whole: and know ye mankind that ye are and shall never be alone.
2
¶ Two is the marriage of the creation; the formation and the unity of the heavens and the earth; it is the duality, the one that shall give and the one that shall receive; for this is the Torah: that in love is that which is received given, and in love is that which is given received.
3
¶ Three is the balance and harmony of all things; it is the kindness in which all shall cultivate and grow; it is that fulfillment of the Torah, and the reward and the punishment; it is the harmony and the balance of all things.
4
¶ Four is the doorway we must pass through in humility; it is the end of ego, the very death of mankind; it is the temple of YHVH in which we study and live the Torah; in it is the firmament of the heavens, and our shelter from the storm of the wrath of Alohykm.
5
¶ Five is the endowment of life; it is the soul born within mankind; it is the very breath of Alohykm, the Creator; it is the very earth we walk upon, and the foundation of the soul; five is the creation: all creation, all that is, was, and shall ever be.
6
¶ Six is the unity of Alohykm; it is perfection of the earth, the sealing of the heavens and the earth, the bridge connecting these two creations; it is the root of the tree, it is the tree itself growing into the heavens, it is all: north, south, east, west, up, and down; it is all and it is one.
7
¶ Seven is the struggle; it is the rest; it is the sustenance of YHVH given to mankind; it is the Creator’s light, shining forth to correct the world; it is the struggle between our desires: that which we see as good, and the desires of El Elyon, righteousness.
8
¶ Eight is the choice; it is the infinite of infinite; it is all that might be, yet all that truly is; it is the soul rising beyond mortal limitations; it is the resurrection; it is the free will of mankind.
9
¶ Nine is the awakening; it is the realization of mankind; it is the womb of understanding; it is the kindness and mercy of the creation from the Creator; it is the final repentance of mankind; it is everything found that is worth finding, never to be lost again.
10
¶ O my children! Ponder ye on that which I hath given thee, for in the knowledge of these keys are hidden the wisdom to transform mankind;
11
Reach ye ever upward, turn thy thoughts upward and as ye seek the light ye shall find life in the keys of that which I have given thee, a light on the pathway to the understanding ye seek;
12
Turn thy thoughts therefore inward, and the light shall pour from thee, for these are the numbers that are the very fruit that grows upon the tree of life.
