#1 – the yang…

Among 9 single digit numbers, 1 takes a special place. Denotes a cardinal, primal force from which all numbers emanate – the essence, beginning, birth, initiation, roots, foundation. Sun rules #1 – fire, warmth, intensity, playfulness.

#1 is ‘Yang’ in Chinese culture, a very masculine number. #1 is enigma, empowerment, individualism – I AM. A unique, pure, powerful force. Full of creative energy, simplicity, passion, strength, humility, purpose. Incredibly imaginative, independent, inspirational, innovative. Synonymous with the best. 

#1 is a symbol of oneness, unity. In monotheistic religions, it’s God or the universe. Pythagoreans didn’t consider 1 as a number at all. Numbers meant plurality but 1 is singular. In science, hydrogen is atomic number 1.

Bible says ‘Lord thy God, is ONE Lord’. In Old Testament #1 denotes divine judgement. 1st question in Old, New Testament is significant, ‘Where art thou?’.

In Hinduism, #1 is ‘Cosmic Soul‘ (atma), supreme power – indestructible, invincible. Buddhists believe in ‘1 Dharma’. Taoists believe #1 is ‘The Way’ – birth of unity. Unity births duality, trinity. Mother of all creatures. 

I AM so enchanted…

  1. Howdy, I think your site could possibly be having browser compatibility issues.

    Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in I.E.,
    it has some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give
    you a quick heads up! Apart from that, great blog!
