[15] The question is, of course, whether or not Jung was right. That linking force is human consciousness. Paradoxes appeared in mathematics, much as they had appeared in philosophy, and they wouldn’t go away. The six surfaces are the directions: north, east, south, west, up and down; or front, back, right, left, above, below; or again, earth, air, fire, water, spirit and matter. [31] Kurt Gödel, “What is Cantor’s continuum problem?”, p. 260. In this article we have touched the surface of the archetypal symbolism inherent in the numbers 1-10. While the Monad is the symbol of wisdom, the dyad is the symbol of ignorance, for in it exists the sense of separateness – which is the root of ignorance. The Monad represents Infinity and Eternity, because it is the beginning and end of all, but itself, like the circle, has neither beginning nor end. “The numbers 6 and 12 frame the proportions of the heavenly bodies, divide up the circle, and measure the periods of solar time.”8. The following example illustrates this mecanism: the conversion form int to a duration (line 4) is done by multiplying t*d by 1s, the conversion from rational to int is done with operators ceil and floor, the conversion from int to nat is done with abs, Three types of numbers are available in Archetype: integers, naturals and rationals, 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999. function is used to convert a integer value to a natural value. That is where things rest at this point. To end, it is important to remember how these sacred archetypal principles that describe cosmic processes are always interconnected and interwoven, interpenetrating the universe and all that’s in it in a simultaneous, infinite, multidimensional fractal holographic pattern. There is little black-and-white in the real world. The principles of the hexad are efficient structure, function and order. The Vesica Piscis created by the two intersecting circles represents the eye (the 3rd eye), the womb of creation and the form maker. All comparison operators are available. The equilateral triangle represents the principle of creation – forming the passage between the transcendent and the manifest realms, the unseen metaphysical reality and the seen physical reality. Plato’s argument was that everything we see, hear or touch in the world about us, is merely a shadow of an ideal object existing in an ideal world. Interestingly, early twentieth century anthropologists found that the numeric systems of some African, South American, Oceanic and Australian cultures had the same limitations.

By understanding the principles represented by a certain number, we begin to understand more about the universe, and therefore more about our own selves and our place in the universe.

Character Archetype Examples: The Leader. “Among the Greeks, harmony and the soul were considered to be similar in nature, because all souls are harmonic. The realization that mathematicians were brilliant enough to be able to capture that immensity in a symbol awed me. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.”[20]. Whenever we are dealing with symbolism, it can be interpreted on many different levels depending upon the perspective it is viewed from. I had a similar experience in the 2nd grade, when a homework assignment introduced the concept of zero. With the dawn of the Renaissance, we awoke from our long slumber and looked out again at the world around us. Just as Locke’s attempt to present a materialist picture of the mind led to the problems presented by Berkeley and Hume, the development of calculus should have led ineluctably to the problems of infinity. The tetrad is also the first geometric solid.”. When in the grip of such excitement, there is always a tendency to swallow the new ideas whole, then puff up like a bullfrog.

There is virtually a polarity in all our bodily functions, from blinking to swallowing and to breathing. Note that this is almost exactly what Jung meant when he discussed psychological truth. From this comes the great occult axiom, ‘The center is the father of directions, the dimensions and distances.”.

It is represented by an equilateral triangle. [23] Kurt Gödel, “What is Cantor’s continuum problem?”, p. 254. The Pythagoreans taught that the elements of earth, fire, air, and water were permeated by a substance called Aether – the basis of vitality and life. Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling – Throughout the series, Rowling paint Harry as a leader in several ways. After all, we are still very early in our understanding of the archetypal nature of reality. These subatomic and atomic particles have a wave nature and a particle nature. [2] Kurt Gödel, “Russell’s Mathematical Logic”, p. 449. Perhaps it is truly an undecidable proposition, or perhaps mathematics is waiting for another Cantor, another Gödel. These two circles represent the two realms of reality: the metaphysical and physical; the unseen and seen; the spiritual and material; the ‘heavenly’ and the ‘earthly’, the Wave Nature and Particle Nature. [4] And with no clearly defined problem, there was no mathematical Kant to resolve the problem.

Once while sick, Ramanujan was visited by his friend and colleague, G. H. Hardy. Though still consciously unresolved, the issue continued to evolve in the unconscious. It is represented by the decagon and symbolizes a journey into limitlessness. In the late 17th century, flushed with Newton’s success in seemingly subsuming everything in heaven and earth within his laws, Locke developed an explicitly rationalist/materialist description of the mind. Physicist Conrad Ranzan reminds us, “Centuries ago Galileo wrote in The Assayer that this grand book of the universe which stands continually open to our gaze is written in the language of geometric figures; without an understanding of the language of shapes, the universe will not be understood; the universe will remain a dark labyrinth.”. Though Gödel made some progress toward a solution, he was never able to prove it, as it was simply too complex to be resolved with the mathematical tools available at the time. We just don’t realize it. However the result is a value in. In the midst of these stands the One, which is the upright figure of man, from whose center in the cube radiate six pyramids. They are defined as follows: Note that it is possible to structure large numbers by packs of 3 digits using the underscore character.

But when crows can recognize “one”, “two”, “three” and “many”, few of us would argue they arrived at these numeric relationships by counting per se. The dyad, however, is also the mother of wisdom, because ignorance – out of the nature of itself – invariably gives birth to wisdom. Though this should have been some ultimate vindication for Gödel, he wasn’t satisfied; even before Cohen had demonstrated his half of the proof, Gödel had already conjectured that even if the continuum hypothesis was undecidable within set theory as then constituted, within some extended set theory it would eventually be resolved one way or the other. The Pentad symbolizes the fifth element Aether because it is free from the disturbances of the four lower elements. The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn’t even know what numbers really were. The process is the following: compute the rational (here 3*56000000/4 = 168000000/4), execute the euclidean division (44800000). Manley P Hall writes, “The Pythagoreans revered the Monad but despised the Dyad, because it was the symbol of polarity. In Entertainment, Music - Theater, Quotations, In Features, Mathematics, Nature, Science, In Art - Design, Features, History - Politics, Language, Literature, Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, In Business - Economics, History - Politics, Nature, In Business - Economics, History - Politics, Nature, Science. But it’s still okay to check your mail. Gödel could very well have taken a place at the forefront of this movement, but sensing the limitations of their position, chose to go his own way instead. The perception of the form can be diverse and variable depending on who is perceiving it. Jung’s problem was not so much that he had no mathematical ability as that he saw too deeply into what mathematics actually is. When he arrived at Ramanujan’s sickbed, he mentioned it as “rather a dull number”. Other terms applied to the dyad: genius, evil, darkness, inequality, instability, movability, boldness, fortitude, contention, matter, dissimilarity, partition between multitude and monad, defect, shapelessness, indefiniteness, indeterminateness, opinion, fallacy, alterity (otherness), diffidence (modesty or shyness resulting from a lack of self-confidence), impulse, death, motion, generation, mutation, division, misfortune, imposition, marriage, soul, and science. But calculus depended on infinite processes, a fact that at the time was only dimly appreciated. The archetypal hypothesis is a starting point to explore than wonder, not an end point to circumscribe its possibilities. The structure of the mandala is arithmetical, for "whole" numbers are likewise archetypes of order. But this realization is only very recent. This oscillating structure allows for a consciousness feedback loop. The typal represents the existing form as it is. It is the balancing force between the opposing forces of the dyad.

In Number and the Language of Science, mathematician Tobias Dantzig mentions a number of examples of animals and even insects who seem to possess a number sense. You will recall that Cantor used the symbol, for countable infinity— i.e., the infinity of natural numbers—and, —hence the infinity of the continuum. It maps out the vibrational patterns, geometry, mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportions of Consciousness (spiritual energy) and hence, light and sound. There were a number of problems where zero was added or subtracted from various numbers. It was held to be the number of religion, because man is controlled by seven celestial spirits [chakras] to whom it is proper for him to make offerings [psychological, emotional and spiritual balancing of the consciousness]. This concept of the Monad as the Source has been called by many names and shows up in every single spiritual tradition throughout time: Unity, The One, The First, The Seed, The Essence, The Builder, The Foundation, The Space-Producer, The Silent Force, Mirror of Wonders, Chi, Brahman, Dharmakaya, Tao, Quantum Physical Vacuum, the Void, The Still Eternity, The Immutable Truth and Destiny, Infinite Potential, Prana, Akasha, Purusha, Dzogchen, Infinity, Divinity, Spiritual Reality, Infinite Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God, Allah, Spirit, Great Spirit, Kosmos, Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Loving Energy, Spiritual Energy, Logos, The Universe, Cosmic Mind, Source Field, Source Realm, Zero-point energy, the Metaphysical Realm…and on and on…. Start studying Number Archetypes. Rational are converted to integers with the floor and ceil operators with the expected behaviour. The Dyad is about “Twoness”. There is no dispute that the power set of the countable numbers[24] is the same size as the continuum. In contrast to Russell, though, Jung never swallowed the pill whole. [30] Now Gödel and Cohen had shown that the continuum hypothesis, which was one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics, was undecidable within set theory. Cantor would have agreed with him 100%. Since, at this stage, the recognition of number is the recognition of a primordial image or patten, there is as yet little if any distinction between arithmetic and geometry.

Examples are meditation, breathing techniques, fasting, lucid dreaming and psychedelic journeying. The word illusion does not mean the physical is not real, it just refers to the fact that perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye. There is, however, a great fuzzy area where they overlap, since reality itself is more fuzzy than not.
