Pythagoras: ALL is NUMBER
http://www.carnaval.com/pythagoras/
Pythagoras and his students believed that everything was related to mathematics, and felt that everything could be predicted and measured in rhythmic cycles. The combination of mathematics and theology began with Pythagoras.
According to Bertrand Russell Pythagoreanism characterized the religious philosophy in Greece, in the Middle ages, and down through Kant. In Plato, Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza and Kant there is a blending of religion and reason, of moral aspiration with logical admiration of what is timeless. Mathematics, so honored, became the model for other sciences. Thought became superior to the senses; intuition became superior to observation. Platonism was essentially Pythagoreanism. The whole concept of an eternal world revealed to intellect but not to the senses can be attributed from the teachings of Pythagoras.

Background on Kabbalah
The most influential Kabbalistic text was The Zohar, which was probably written in about 1275 by the Spanish mystic Moses of Leon [who] believed that God gives each mystic a unique and personal revelation, so there is no limit to the way the Torah can be interpreted: as the Kabbalist progresses, layer upon layer of significance is revealed. The Zohar shows the mysterious emanation of the ten sefiroth as a process whereby the impersonal En Sof becomes a personality. In the three highest sefiroth – Kether, Hokhmah and Binah – when, as it were, En Sof has only just „decided“ to express himself, the divine reality is called „he.“ As „he“ descends through the middle sefiroth – Hesed, Din, Tifereth, Netsakh, Hod and Yesod – „he“ becomes „you.“ Finally, when God becomes present in the world in the Shekinah, „he“ calls himself „I.“ It is at this point, where God has, as it were, become an individual and his self-expression is complete, that man can begin his mystical journey. Once the mystic has acquired an understanding of his own deepest self, he becomes aware of the Presence of God within him and can then ascend to the more impersonal higher spheres, transcending the limits of personality and egotism. It is a return to the unimaginable Source of our being and the hidden world of sense impression is simply the last and outer-most shell of the divine reality. (Karen Armstrong, A History of God, Ballantine Books, New York, 1993, p. 247)“
² This is the entire text of Ch. 8.
In it Snorri Sturluson offers advice to ‘young poets’ who desire to understand the language of poetry, build up a vocabulary of ancient names which might enablethem to understand that which is cast in terms of hidden poetry.
First they need to UNDERSTAND Edda and not shy away from using ancient terminology which major poets have been content to use.
But Christians shall not believe in heathen gods and not in the truthfulness of these stories otherwise than can be found at the beginning of this book.
