Numbers as Concepts, Not Things
Numbers do not exist in the universe as objects. They are concepts — elegant tools we use to describe and order reality. To say “two apples” is not a cosmic truth, but a practical way of quantifying presence. Numbers are the grammar of quantity, not the reality itself.
0 to 9: A Conceptual Framework
When Similarity Theory speaks of the soul evolving from 0 to 9, this should not be taken literally. In truth, there are always negative numbers before zero — realms that existed prior to our entry into this universe. What lies in the negative remains beyond human comprehension.
We use 0 to 9 only as a simplified framework, a way for the human mind to grasp progression. In reality, we could be at the billionth stage without knowing.
The Difficulty of Beginnings
The greatest difficulty always lies at the foundation:
0 itself is not nothingness but potential. To step into 1 is the most challenging leap of all.
From 1 to 2, the step becomes easier.
Progress continues, with each step slightly smoother, until 9 is reached.
At 9, the soul is fully matured within a dimension. The leap to 10 is not merely another step forward — it represents an entry into a new dimension.
Beyond Nine: Entering Higher Dimensions
The shift from 9 to 10 is a symbolic way of describing dimensional transition. Here, numbers increase, but the effort of progression decreases. Creation always demands the hardest work at its foundation; once structure is established, evolution accelerates with greater ease.
In lower stages, the leap is massive: for example, from animal consciousness to human consciousness.
As an animal, awareness is limited to survival: danger, feeding, mating, and competition.
As a human, awareness multiplies: material needs, entertainment, discovery, exploration beyond the planet, and the flowering of philosophy. The numbers are larger, yet the progression flows more naturally because consciousness has broadened.
Glimpses Beyond: Time and Imagination
Although both humans and animals exist within the same three-dimensional spatial universe, humans have a clearer glimpse of higher dimensions.
Time (the fourth dimension) is consciously grasped by humans, while animals only experience it passively.
Imagination (the fifth dimension) is largely absent from the animal realm, yet it is a defining quality of humanity.
This shows that dimensional advancement is not only about “more numbers” but about the deepening complexity of awareness.
Symmetry, Asymmetry, and Echoes
Symmetry in numbers (like 11, 22, 333) reflects resonance and stability within universal frames.
Asymmetry (like prime numbers) symbolises creative disruption, the spark that prevents stagnation.
Constants such as π or the golden ratio can be seen as echoes of the underlying cosmic structure, not invented by us but discovered as part of the universe’s design.
