because the trinity of mind, soul, and body, if considered as
unity, may be expressed by the figures 333, and therefore
duality is 333 x 2 = 666.

I think the inverse of the proposition is still more
startling, and I should like to point it out. Instead of
multiplying let us try dividing. First of all take unity as
the unit one and divide by three (representing of course the
same formula, viz., mind, soul and body). Expressed by a
common fraction it is merely 1/3, which is an incomplete
mathematical figure. But take the decimal formula of one
divided by three, and we arrive at .3 circulating, i. e.,
.3333 on to infinity. In other words, the result of the
proposition by mathematics is that you divide this formula of
spirit, soul, and body into unity, and it remains true to
itself ad infinitum.

Now we come to consider it as a duality in the same way.
Expressed as a vulgar fraction it is 2/3; but as a decimal
fraction it is .6666 ad infinitum. I think this is worth
noting.

Yours very faithfully,

Dear Editor.--I return with many thanks the very interesting
letter received with yours, and I am very glad that my
article should have been instrumental in drawing forth this
further light on the subject.

This, moreover, affords an excellent illustration of one
great principle of Unity, which is that the Unity repeats
itself in every one of its parts, so that each part taken
separately is an exact reproduction (in principles) of the
greater Unity of which it is a portion. Therefore, if you
take the individual man as your unit (which is what I did),
and proceed by multiplication, you get the results which were
pointed out in my article. And conversely, if you take the
Great Unity of All-Being as your unit, and proceed by
division, you arrive at the result shown by your foreign
correspondent. The principle is a purely mathematical one,
and is extremely interesting in the present application as
showing the existence of a system of concealed mathematics
running through the whole Bible. This bears out what I said
in my article that there were other applications of the
principle in question, though this one did not at the time
occur to me.
