The Tetractys
At the heart of the Pythagorean philosophy based upon the power of
numbers was the tetractys, a triangular array of ten dots, or 'yods'
(2), arranged in four rows (fig. 2). With no insight into what
Pythagoras taught other than what is provided by the few remnants of
his teachings distorted by later generations of commentators,
scholars of ancient Greek mathematics assume that the tetractys
represents the numbers 1, 2, 3 & 4 summing to 10, which, as their
sacred Decad, the Pythagoreans regarded as the perfect number. But
it meant to them far more than this. According to
H.P. Blavatsky: "The ten Points inscribed within that `Pythagorean
triangle' are worth all the theogonies and angelologies ever
emanated from the theological brain" (3). Partly the reason for
this is that the tetractys signifies the same as the Tree of Life,
namely, the ten-fold nature of God (fig. 3 shows this equivalence in
detail). But — more important for the present discussion — the
main reason for the Pythagorean reverence for the tetractys is that
numbers expressing information about the nature of reality (space-
time and beyond) manifest in objects possessing sacred geometry
when they are re-assembled from tetractyses. In other words, the
tetractys is the key that unlocks information about reality encoded
in sacred geometry. This is the real reason why the followers of
Pythagoras esteemed the symbol at the heart of their master's
teachings, swearing by the oath:
I swear by the discoverer of the Tetractys,
Which is the spring of all our wisdom,
The perennial root of Nature's font (4).

This work corrosponds to Sri-Yantra, Cosmic Tree of Life, I-Ching,
Bosonic String theory, And Platonic solic /Sacred Geometry and GOD
names etc. I bet this information is also coded in the Koran.
