 <blockquote>In the “Book of Dzyan,” as in the Kabala, there are two kinds of numerals to be studied—the figures, often simple blinds, and the Sacred Numbers, the values of which are all known to the Occultists through Initiation.  The former is but a conventional glyph, the latter is the basic symbol of all.  That is to say, that one is purely physical, the other purely metaphysical, the two standing in relation to each other as matter stands to spirit—the extreme poles of the ONE Substance.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Secret Doctrine'' vol.
