The 15 Fundamental Elements in Man

Rabbi Shimshon of Astropolia teaches: 3 × 15 = 45 = אדם. The course translates “For dust you are, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19): dust = the unit values 1 to 9; making man = adding them.

The 9 values are placed in an ordered matrix in which all groups of three numbers (horizontally, vertically, diagonally) give 15 = יה: 4 9 2 / 3 5 7 / 8 1 6.

Triple coincidence, according to the course: only the 9 unit values form the value of Adam (45); only Adam is formed by three times 15; only the 9 values in a matrix give 16 times the value 15 (3 rows + 3 columns + 2 diagonals + 8 other combinations).

Why three times 15? Man is the synthesis of a universe created on a three-dimensional basis; since G-d created the two worlds through the two letters יה, man is formed of these two dimensions in a three-dimensional infrastructure: אדם, three letters crystallizing three times the two letters יה.

Combinations of 3 values totaling 15: 618, 816, 276, 672, 456, 654, 753, 357, 951, 159, 258, 852, 294, 492, 438, 834.

Material level: 618 ↔ 816. 618 is the golden number (incident ray), 816 its reflected ray: the crystallization of the metaphysical level into the material level. The course refers to the volume “The letter ה and the golden number 618.”

לוחת = 438, the Tablets of the Law. According to the course, they are a genetic component of every man, indissoluble if he wants to be called אדם and belong to the human species.

The exception that proves the rule, according to the course: when Moses broke the first Tablets, it saved Israel from extermination; like an adulterous wife under the wedding canopy: without proof of the contract (the Tablets), there is no marriage, hence no death penalty. ביטולה זו קיומה: “Its annulment is its very existence.”

Notion of numerical succession 4-5-6: the inheritance coming from Abraham and Isaac, אברהם + יצחק = 456. Why not Jacob? Because through two points passes only one line: the third point (Jacob) is its logical continuation (according to the course).

Rabbi Shimshon of Astropolia succinctly reveals that man is formed by 3 times 15 and adds: “If you know how to understand their formation and interrelation in all the values of pairs and triplets that this matrix of 9 gives, you will be able to ‘form’ human beings!”

His uncle was the Maharal of Prague, author of the Golem: according to the tradition reported by the course, he created an artificial being using knowledge of the combinations of the matrix of 9.

The course concludes that man is not a chance of nature but a mathematically ordered creation, reflecting divine perfection.
