In The Meaning and Philosophy of Numbers, Leonard Bosman states that
numbers are symbols of the beginning and development of the universe, of
a solar system, or a series of such, or, indeed, of any rhythmic
movement. The terms with which we have to deal in considering the
science of numbers are figures, symbols, ciphers, arithmetic, and
mathematics.
Displaying an impressive knowledge of linguistics, philosophers, and
mystics, Bosman brings forth the root words, symbols, and ideas that
express the numbers and explains each one's role in the movement of
creation. This work will help readers understand the fundamental reason
for numbers and know exactly why any particular number used in the
science of Numerology means what it is said to mean by the professors of
the art who merely affirm, but never explain. The scope of Bosman's
study goes beyond a useful application of Numerology to serve students
of Kabbalah and divination.
