The Number 10 as a Person
If the number 10 were a person, he would be the independent and promising child of the leaderly number 1 and the all-inclusive number 0.
The number 1 is about being self-sufficient, able to sustain without need for relationships. The 1 is comfortable when alone. The number 0 is concerned with inclusion.
The essence of the number 1 is an inversion of the essence of the number 0. The number 1 steps away from a oneness or wholeness with everything and transmits a different vibration from the 0 (or any other number for that matter).
The number 10 is a combination of the 1 and 0 vibrations. The 0 tones down the number 1 to make for independence that isn’t as harsh as that of the number 1.
A divine number, 10 means a return to unity, the fusion of being and non-being. The number 10 denotes the completion of a cycle, making 10 very skilled at whatever they choose to do, but they do so on their own terms.
The number 10 reduces to the number 1, so independence is of obvious importance for the 10.
After all, feeling one with everything does not inspire exploration like feeling independent from everything.
