In Four is Ten, a perfect triangle, the totality of zero. (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 = 10). (NG2 545/563) Four is a form of foundation expressed in numerous metaphors such as corners, cornerstones, cardinal points, cardinal directions, quarters, elementals, Primordials, points of balance, legged item, legged animal, arms, heads, plumb and level, rulers, stars, guardians, genii, angels, rivers, spirits, souls, circle and cross.
Primordial Four
Water, Air, Fire and Earth were the four sacred elements of existence; and during the best of times, under the most ancient religion, the Primordial Four were kept sacred to all. Under the current Cult cultures, the Primordial Four have become the personal property of the few, and the ruling powers no longer guard these natural elements for the whole people, or fitly represent the giver who supplied them freely for the benefit of all.

(1) Reuben (2) Simeon (3) Levi (4) Judah Note 1: The children are in the middle and parents are at the ends. Note 2: Parents and children are each virgin and virile with the power to fecundate, fertilize, reproduce and/or transform, activate or catalyze transformation. Virility has different levels of potency, strength, energy, power, force. Parents and children are each virgin and virile because they are mer-gen seeds (duality). (NG2 59/67) For these reasons and more, each one of the four, or in any combination, always adds up to the totality. The totality is represented, even if in a suboptimal form, and even if not being manifested strongly.
For instance: the truth of mother, father and pubescent nature being present within the infant child, does not make it okay for one of those foundational parts to be missing as separate manifestations actively interconnected with the child's process of beingness. Typhon, Kheft, Khept, Aft, Apt, Fut, food, pat, pode, Fetu.... mean four. (NG1 215-6/233-4) (NG2 166/184, 466/474) (AE1 322/332, 402/412) References:
