A wide variety of perspectives and thematic links between numbers and knowledge content from art, history, maths or astronomy can be found here. The abstract core of numbers is thus given a body that is easier to grasp and understand. The individual contributions are put together in a colourful and mosaic-like way and are intended to encourage independent play and form with the material on offer. All the texts are inextricably linked in essence and reflect the spiritual ideas of form in the gross material world of everyday life.

Just as the archetype of movement can be found everywhere in our known world as a spiral from the cosmic dimension (as a galaxy) via the planetary level (water vortex) to the cellular form (DNA helix), it can be depicted abstractly as the letter ‘G’ or the number 6 or 9.

The texts of the number worlds refer to these analogue correspondences, whereby both the spiritual core aspect of a number (‘cera’) and its manifestation in physical reality (‘cifa’) as well as its soul part (‘cora’) are represented.

This trivalent order of the ‘family’ (mother-child-father) forms the basic framework of our existence, regardless of the size or dimensionality of the objects, as the saying goes: ‘all good things come in threes’. These articles also shed light on the mathematical aspect of this rule and show that even highly complex entities such as star clusters or human consciousness follow this structure.

It can be shown that our universe can be traced back to the three ‘spiritual’ basic aspects +1/0/-1 of the unit 1², which build up matter in endless combinations in the solid state as atoms or molecules. As the 1² (note the square definition) is higher dimensional compared to the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., it can be regarded as the joker number and birthplace of all other numbers. The number 2 is therefore a symbol of newly created matter, and finds its mirror partner in the number 5. The eternal, newborn child - the number 3 - occupies the centre here, and correlates with the soul or energetic dimension of being.

 

Because the number 3 arises from the immaterial core of zero, creation can be understood as the emanation of emptiness (not of nothingness, there is a big difference), a theme that is inexhaustible in the deepest sense of the word. Here is another suggestion from Christian Morgenstern:

​

Once upon a time there was a picket fence
with a gap to look through.
An architect who saw this
suddenly stood there one evening -
and took out the gap
and built a big house out of it.
