vs “modern technology”
Jones, Marc Edmund. Fundamentals of Number Significance: An Autobiographical Account of Accomplishment. Sabian Publishing Society, Stanwood, Washington, and Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado. Hardcover. 1978. First Edition. 8vo. Bright silver lettering and designs on dark green cloth. Fine condition throughout, incl. text and interior, in a fine, immaculate dustjacket . Is Jones undertaking to justify Numerology through Astrology, or the other way around? The first chapter is ‘Man’s Voyage to Self-Discovery’, so it’s anybody’s guess. Ah, but then some Cabalistic and Astrological references pop-up, and we move towards, or thru the eyes, of a (secret?) (occult?) society! Lovely! Bring it on! Meanwhile, the numerology we expected is occluded. Vibes well! $60
