THE ENIGMA OF NUMBERS
by Lance Storm
“In The Enigma of Numbers, Lance Storm challenges our obsession for organising and
quantifying our world with an absorbing exposé of the shadow side of quantity-
number as quality. In Storm’s hands, qualitative numbers are mysterious symbols,
giving rise to puzzling patterns and uncanny coincidences. His journey takes us from
Pythagoras, the ancient Greek mathematician and mystic, through philosophy,
arcane religious symbolism and pre-science to the number archetype of the
psychologist C G Jung, which grounds this work.
Measured and authoritative, yet intriguing and always eminently readable, Storm’s
narrative amplifies the archetypal qualities of the numbers 1 to 10 and their manifes-
tations in an assortment of fields—numerology, synchronicity, chaos theory and
modern physics. This captivating journey reaches a crescendo in a beguiling stanza
on archetypal number in music.
In the Jungian genre, The Enigma of Numbers ranks with von Franz’s seminal study,
Publishing: Number and Time, for its scope and profundity, while exceeding it in accessibility.
February 2008 Lance Storm combines sober analysis, wonderment and scholarship in a landmark
work.”
