On the qabalistic tree of life, sometimes you will see zeros emanating from the number 1.

0
00
000

Well, the zeros in this case symbolize 10, 100 - or they could also symbolize the spheres themselves which totally look like zeros being the O's that they are.

Also you will find that within the Tree there are triads of 3 3's looking like this

o
o o

o

o o

o

o o

o


The top is the crown and is not part of the physical reality rather it *feeds* the rest.

This of course, has nothing to do with zeros, just as a side note since you brought up the Tree - well, that's what it basically looks like.

The numbers 1, 10, 100 are all symbolized by Hebrew letters - none of which btw represents a zero - as I mentioned before that zero is the state of none creation - the state of chaos prior.

Zero has no power on its own. Zero is nothing by itself. It is, if anything - mathematically an integar. That is just a holding space between negatives and positives. Division, multiplication by zero result in zero. Addition or subtraction by zero results in no change. The only place where a zero will have impact is by holding spaces in numbers over and below 9. Gemtria - the literal building blocks of Creation have no need for zero as each number is represented by different letter combinations. It's only in recent times with modern mathematics that zero was found to be necessary. In ancient worlds - this was never an issue as counting was done from 1 and each group 10,100,1000 had their own symbols.

0 = 2

Every man and woman is a black-hole. All numbers are infinite there is no difference.

I don't think of zero as chaos. Zero is the void - it is more like nirvana, the place where no wind blows.

I don't understand why some people are so eager to get to nothingness, like it is some kind of state that is desirable, to not be, to not exist. There have been times when I questioned my own existence. But if you are reading this post, then I guess I do exist.

G-d is at the Root of All. You enter any number - and just keep hitting the root sign. If you got any other result you weren't doing it correctly!

One

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Well, there are different takes on this. Various religions believe that the dissolution of the ego, or the extinction of Maya (illusion) are good - the thinking is that these things cause strife and suffering. And even when someone is enlightened or transcends the ego, they are still alive, still need to eat, sleep, etc. So the nothingness that is talked about is seen as bliss or unity with the universe, not being completely annihilated.

Also, on a larger theoretical level, people talk about the wheel of karma and reincarnation. This is seen as being attached to the imperfect universe, but it is believed possible to spiritually develop, and break free of this chaotic world to a better one - sometimes described as the void.

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
Were one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
Were one
But were not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

Shockingly enough, God can only be approximated by this technique. On the other hand, 1 generates the integers, under addition. And, as someone once said, "God created the integers. The rest is the work of man." Coincidence?

Additionally, -1 also generates the integers. What would God's opposite be called? :chin:
