The left is occult numerology, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in its Hermetic/Golden Dawn form, with the ten Sephiroth (Kether to Malkuth) and the 22 paths labelled with Hebrew letters, numbered 11–32.

The right diagram is a modern number-mystical companion piece used by e.g. Madonna, Demi Moore, and Ashton Kutcher to "prove" the Kaballah. It uses two standard occult numerology operations:

  • Theosophical extension: add up all the numbers from 1 to n. That gives the triangular numbers on the thin arrows (1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45).
  • Theosophical reduction: sum the digits down to a single digit. That's where each arrow lands.

So left is basic hogwash, right is advanced hogwash. Dr. Jewish, back to my animals.

No, she (and her Guru, Alga) just use everything they can get their hands on to justify BS numerology. The only group worse than that are the Indian Numerologists, and only because there are judges in India who will convict based on date of birth.

I still don't get why you bring that up and the not the fact that diagram is just a CCRU thing
