Amongst these illustrative types of interior realities I employed the elementary geometric forms, ''point, direct line'', and ''deflected line''; the last of which, as true arc, produces the circle when carried to its ultimate; this circle representing the triune order of ''movement'', the point in the line, the line in the curve, and the curve in the circle.

''Triunity'' being, then, the regulative law of the Creative Series as (1st), Simple Unity; (2d), Diversity; (3d), Compound Unity, and coming to analyze and classify the secondary term of this numeric series (1-9) accordingly, it was seen that the full series would stand thus:

The numeric scale is held to be formed, either consciously or unconsciously, consistently with these motary forms of geometric elements rendered as typifying creative system.

Having thus read and formulated this simple scale of numeric power, as impressively symbolic of ''Creator, Creating'', and ''Created'', it occurred to me to make a test of the consistency of the whole conception, including the minor groupings. I had known that if any given number were multiplied by three or the multiples of three, 6 and 9, and the product thereof were added together until a single unit was produced, that unit would

And I believed that the esoteric principle implied in this full analysis and synthesis, as a consistent reflex of the Divine and Human in creation, would display corresponding orderly results to the same process carried through all of the terms of the developing scale, 1—9. So I proceeded to multiply and add sums quite extensively in the same manner; taking the sums as multiplicands at random.

To illustrate: let the given sum as multiplicand be 10,841, multiplying successively by the first, second, and third terms of the three groups, and adding together the figures of the products till the result is expressed by a single unit, either simple or compound.

The 3 and its multiples 6 and 9 as multipliers, operated as before known, give ultimate terms in the above operations, of 3 and its multiples 6 and 9, ''but in the irregular order of'' 6, 3, 9.

Any given sum, worked by the same process, will show equally remarkable {{Page aside in Path|v=2|n=1|p=12}}consistency, though with a liability to constant variations in such consistency, in results. Such variations are manifestly as consistent and orderly as are the varying chords in a musical composition, and in their rhythmic flow seem not less impressive.

If this scale of digital numeric symbols was projected from an understanding of the human significance of the geometric ''line, curve'' and ''circle,'' as motary elements, as I am led to believe, it would follow that the figures themselves were designed to be clearly typical of human character, or motive power, during the processes of human development from Man's Vitalizing Source to his final magisterial reign in perfect Lordship. It further follows that they may be consistently read according to such a rule of occult science.
