Subject: Numbers

Dear Friends:

I would like to do a little research on the symbolic meaning and 
significance of different numbers, like one represents unity, two 
represents duality, three the triangle, etc. Can someone suggest where 
I would find this subject in the HPB writings?

Thank you in advance,

bta
