Sacred Numbers and Divine Geometry: Ancient Wisdom on Measure, Number and Weight

This profound exploration delves into the metaphysical significance of numbers as expressed through the biblical principle "You have arranged all things in measure, number and weight" from the Book of Wisdom attributed to Solomon. The text reveals how numbers operate through three fundamental aspects: as weight in their action of intensifying, as number in their action of specifying, and as measure in their action of ordering. These three actions represent distinct manifestations of a single being: the Number itself.

The relationship between the One and the Three forms a foundational concept, where symbolically the 1 and 3 are so closely connected they can be considered the same number in different expressions. The number 3 emerges as the absolute characteristic of the Omnipotent God, appearing everywhere as a fundamental category of psychic life and thought, and thus of human completeness.

Every being can be viewed through three aspects: as will, as intellect, and as love. These correspond to three types of relationships with other beings: power, wisdom, and love. In the case of Number, these fundamental relationships manifest as weight, number, and measure, studied respectively by Philosophy, Arithmetic, and Geometry.

Geometry emerges not merely as the study of forms, but as the discipline aimed at realizing Beauty. Unlike algebra or logic which emphasize truth, geometry emphasizes beauty. The geometric aspect of number exists independently of spatial representation, as pure order that disposes and organizes ideas, regulating relationships and defining geometries and hierarchies.

The text explores how geometric forms are symbols of acting forces, where each being possesses a triple aspect of individuality (power), distinction (wisdom), and action (love). The interaction between beings determines the geometric configuration of the whole, representing the fundamental relationship between force and geometry that has become central to modern mathematical physics.

Space itself is understood not as a mere container, but as expressions of power, with dimensions representing the power of action of beings. The limitation of space becomes the fulcrum that permits dimensional expression and the determination of specific powers, making creation possible through divine geometric action that brings order from chaos.
