Yep.

Also, 8 triggers the left, as they equate it with 'hate'. So that's always amusing.

Think like a mason.

Build a house.

How many corners are there to the most simple of houses?

If you build one with 2 corners, you have a wall. It's not a house.

Build one with 3 corners, you're stuck with triangular furniture, and the building cannot be expanded upon evenly. But at the very least, it does provide shelter. How, though, can you expect to fit a roof upon it?

You need 4 corners to build a house. 4 stones to set the foundation. 4 walls to keep out the rain. 4 points to pitch a roof.

And so it is, 2 is the number of walls, for those here and those there. Two corners cannot close. You need 3 walls to form 2 corners. There is an instability, where the house cannot decide on the 2 or the 3. 2 corners, 3 walls, and to add a third corner means a fourth wall, destined to either trail infinitely or cross with the first wall and form the fourth. 2's and 3's, stuck in a loop until the 4th forms to free them and give stability.

• 1 is the Singularity. Where all is housed in unity.

• 2 is the number of Duality. Where all recognizes itself and therefore that which is not its self. Here and there. Then and now. Everywhere and nowhere. The ideal of Marriage -- as two hands holding the spherical world by pressing upon it in opposite directions.

• 3 is the number of Formation. Where things finally start taking shape and form; where time, place, and individuality combine.

• 4 is the number of Foundation. Where all other things stem from, and find their base and path back to the Source, which is the 1 through 3.

Upon the four corners of a Foundation, you may now pitch a roof, with triangles meeting towards a central point. A pyramid resting on a cube.

4 walls. Seated upon them are four triangle roof tiles, which resolve to a single point. Two shapes, the cube and pyramid.

"The white pyramid symbolizes the higher self, the spirit of the pilgrimage; the black cube symbolizes the lower man or the celestial being after it is lost in matter.

We feel safe in the 4. We find points in the 3. We find our place in the 2. We find unity in the 1.

Where then, sit all other numbers? 4 is 2, time and space coming together with space and time. 2x2 = 4. 2+2 = 4. Stable, and the first to both add and multiply.

1 and any other is just an increment. A baby step into achieving a higher form.

2+3 = 5. 1+4 = 5

Duality + Form = 5 and Singularity + Foundation = 5

So, what is 5?

2*3 = 6.

Duality * Form = 6

So, what is 6?

17. In the treatise "De Iside et Osiride," Plutarch says Osiris was killed on the 17th day of the moon, and hence when the moon was at the full—and from that reason the Egyptians abominate the number 17, and so did the Pythagoreans—they called in Antiphraxis (obstruction), because it falls between the square number 16 and the oblong number

Osiris was the judge and lord of the dead and the underworld.

What does it mean to slay death? To conquer death, and the keeper of the underworld?

17 is the number of the Resurrection and Final Judgement. It's the process of the most coveted of secrets coming out, and Revelation taking hold.

17 and Q represent to them an undoing of the Occult and a grand reveal. 17 is the number of energy run amuck and an "obstruction" to their obstruction. The Enemy of the Adversary.

8, of course, is stability taken unto stability. 4+4 or 4*2. Foundation married to Foundation or Foundation multiplied by the Duality.

A bridge requires two opposite sides to match, but be married equally in the middle. With either pressing upon one another, they maintain stability indefinitely, as each strive to fall into the chasm below but persist against one another. Harmony achieved, a bridge forms, and all those may pass in spite of their opposition. 8, therefore, is a bridge.

8 is Continuity and Harmony. Infinite stability, against all odds.

8 = 1 and the 7.

To sever 1 from the 7 means to sever the Singularity from the 7.

So, what is 7?

The Heptad, say the followers of "Pythagoras," was so called from the Greek verb "sebo," to venerate (and from the Hebrew ShBO, seven, or satisfied, abundance), being Septos, "Holy," "divine," and "motherless," and a "Virgin."

I'm rambling, but it's worth noting how the numbers interact with each other as unique Persons.

Play with things in the physical world. Count the petals on a flower. Do the numbers of things denote their nature, or do their natures denote the numbers within?

Are they bound inextricably?

What we call Math is nothing more than writing the names of Persons and seeing how they sound together. Only through a Divine Music can we come to know how the names actually sound. Only by playing their Melody in the Physical can we come to understand what song they sing.

A friend of mine who’s a mathematician has compiled a list of 17s, his favorite number: http://www.vinc17.org/d17_eng.html

Also in PDF with plenty of mathematical references: http://www.vinc17.org/d17_eng.pdf

As a side note, my football team KC Chiefs and Tennessee Titans were tied at 17-17, went into overtime. Then we won with a field goal, 20-17. I'm thinking, "There's that number again".

10= dominion or victory 7= perfect or complete

10+7 = complete victory

There are also 8 electrons in an outer shell. 8 electrons are very stable. 1 electron only or 7 electrons can be volatile. 17 is a strong bond because it can remain stable regardless the volatility.

Looks like it to me...
