Tetractys
The
Tetractys
was introduced in Greece by
Pythagoras
ca. 582 BC after studying many years in
Egypt.
The Tetractys was considered a divine blueprint of creation and
found many uses in
Math,
Medicine,
Music, etc.
The Tetractys contains
four
rows with a successive number of dots 1, 2, 3, and 4, hence the
name Tetractys.
The decimal numbers 0-9 can be assigned to each of the ten dots
that form an equilateral triangle.

Tetractys
The Tetractys tells the
Egyptian creation story
in the form of
Numerology.
In the center we find the lowest number
zero,
that represents
chaos and unrealized potential.
Zero was the source of all that came into being, represented by the highest number
nine.
Nine thus represents
All-One-ness,
At-One-ment, and
Moksha.
Since nine wanted to create other things it had to divide itself
into two parts:
six and
three.
Six represents
form,
memory, and
space.
Three represents
action, change, and
life.
The interaction between six and three mediated by nine resulted in
a further division into
seven.
The six plus one numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 10 form an
eternal interplay
supported and guided by the divine
trinity
3,6, and 9.

Tetractys - Music
Gematria is based upon the
Luo Shu another divine
pattern of creation that uses the numbers of the Tetractys.
If we apply Gematria when traversing the seven numbers 1, 2, 4, 8,
7=1+6, 5=1+4, 10=1+0, we find the correct double values.
Multiplication of nine leads back to nine, for example 2x9=18=1+8
and 3x9=27=2+7, therefore nine is considered complete by itself.
We also find that 2x3=6 and 2x6=12=1+2=3. This is why three and
six are considered as each others complement.
The
infinity
pattern that connects the seven numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 10
is based on
Pythagorian musical tuning.
The seven numbers represent a sequence of musical notes with ratio 9/8 or another ratio when crossing
TI.
These seven notes and ratios (
Platonic
Lambda or
Lambdoma)
are described in the
Timaeus
by
Plato.

KaBaLa
If we rearrange the Tetractys a bit we also find the
Enneagram, the
Menorah, and the
Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life shows point, line, triangle, and tetrahedron with three vertical axes summing up to 9.
