  Welcome back to lecture 5.2, probably one of the lectures that you've all been looking forward to. This lecture is on the numerological system of the numerogram. Alright, so let's look at the numerogram, finally. Why it makes so much numeric sense in relation to and with regards to the traditional Kabbalist and with…

  Let's look a little further. So we begin with this mutated, bastardised, sort of decadent and repressed version of the tree of life called the numerogram, which Land has called the true secret tree of life from which the degraded Kabbalistic tree of life descended. As explained, we begin with the numerals 0 to 9…

  Now we draw the five currents, which in the tree of life would be called paths, but they're called currents here, which are the five large arrows. Each current is an act of subtraction from a sysogy to another zone. So the sysogy of eight and one is now eight minus one, which equals to seven. So that current, which…

  So when you take one and that equals a letter, so it looks something like zero plus nine, so four letters in zero and four in nine, so that would be eight. Zero plus nine equals one plus eight equals two plus seven equals three plus six equals four plus five. Each of the syzygies in primitive numerisation…

  What is the numerogram? It's relatively simple, and in its theorization, it is relatively simple. In its practice, it isn't. It's the finale and culmination of the entire CCRU system assimilated into a transcendentally numeric function. When we think back to lectures one and two, and the idea of the architectonic…

  formation of zero. In the fold where the points meet, we find zero. So critical temporality is cosmic topology, which communicates between crumples, folds, and meetings. Often, when we talk about letting the outside in, we're talking about two distinct points in transcendental time meeting each other. There is little…

  It's the function which allows for there to be a rebirth of possibility. Zero's relation to classical entropic forces is a theoretical quasi-replacement within modernity. It's a between entropy decay on the inside as an inherent productive process on the outside in this manner zero is the transcendental machinic…

  It's something you have to understand and undertake of your own will, and it's your own journey figuring out the numeric secrets of the numerogram. And figuring out by themselves would be far more valuable than simply being given the secrets from someone else. But there will be sources, there will be sources. But…
