A journey through Jungian symbolism, ancient wisdom, and the sacred mathematics that unite psyche and cosmos
We often take for granted the fundamental role that numbers play in our lives. In modern times we have been so busy manipulating numbers for counting and calculating, that many of us are unaware that they also contain a symbolic meaning. Numbers do not merely have a quantitative nature, but also a qualitative one.
Carl Jung saw numbers as the archetype of order which has become conscious. They are the bridge between psyche and matter, belonging to both the real and imaginary worlds. As the most primitive archetypes, numbers provide the key to understanding the unus mundus — the transcendental unity that underlies all existence.
“I have a distinct feeling that Number is a key to the mystery.”
필사즉생 필생즉사 — “If you are prepared to die, you will live; if you cling to life, you will die.” — Admiral Yi Sun-sin, 이순신 장군
Jung devoted his life's work to demonstrating the psychological significance of the first four numbers — the foundation of all numerical symbolism
