The third element is represented precisely by the creator’s gaze, by the act of looking. Imagining the primordial principle as the reality, it creates and creation as its work. The creative act is not, in fact, complete with the dualistic split.Īfter the principle has separated itself, generating creation, a third element appears to complete the work: the force or essence connecting the first two realities, the creator and creation. In the number three is synthesized the very completion of creation and the origin of life. Being a dual principle, it indicates both contrast, polarity, and the attempt at conciliation. In a dualistic world view, there is the separation of the material principle from the spiritual direction, and the number two is the embodiment of opposites: masculine/feminine, day/night, earth/sky, etc. The two, as dìade, is the expression of duality. The number two comes from the division of unity, and it is the symbol of separation because, from a sacred point of view, unity is essentially One and only. At a lower, micro-cosmic level, this same duality is reflected in the juxtaposition of opposites: hot and cold, high and low, good and evil, male and female their opposition reflects on a material level the first great division, a separation which is such only in appearance.

The pantheon of ancient mythology contemplated a multiplicity of gods as an epiphany of the natural elements, ruled by a supreme divinity, a reminder of the fundamental unity.
Unity is the harmonizing principle, but if this unity is broken, it gives way to diversity. The union of these two energies, masculine and feminine, within one creates new life. From one, two equal and opposite points arise, which form matter. From this origin, all things and manifestations were born. All traditions speak of an origin in which unity reigned, the unmanifest without division, the unification of energies and wholeness. For this reason, it is a sacred number revered since antiquity.
