INTRODUCTION:
WHAT IS NUMEROLOGY?
I t is generally accepted that Pythagoras introduced the science of numbers to the Western world some 2,400 years ago and that he gained his knowledge of numbers, among many other things, from Egypt and the Near East. Although the roots of the science of numerology are lost in the distant past, some researchers have found evidence that it was practiced in Egypt as far back as 13,000 years ago. Its longevity and constancy gives this fascinating study its credibility and validity, as numerology is based on principles that do not change and that prove themselves over and over again.
What is numerology? Though commonly defined as the esoteric interpretation of numbers, put simply, it is the study of vibration. Numbers are merely symbols of creative forces or vibratory frequencies, having a qualitative value as well as their common quantitative value. In numerology, we are concerned with the qualitative value, the numbers vibration, as opposed to the quantitative value.
We may use the terms number and vibration interchangeably, but numerology is not the study of numbers as such. A number by itself means nothing. It is the vibratory quality and power, positive or negative, symbolized by a number that we weigh and consider. When we think of numbers, we really think in terms of vibratory frequencies that compose and influence both matter and non-matter. Everything that exists is formed and sustained in a vibratory state. In other words, the very nature of the universe is vibratory. Science has proved that all life is motionmotion of universal energy. We call this motion vibration because of its wavelike nature. Every substance, color, shape, smell, and sound is created by vibration. In addition, abstract qualities such as individual characteristics, desires, emotions, and other extrasensory conditions are vibrations.
When we talk about vibration, we also mean number, and each number is a symbol of a particular chain of qualities. Each number from 1 to 9the symbols of numerologyrepresents a unique combination of personality characteristics. Particular numbers from our birthdate and name play a prominent role in shaping our personality and destiny. Their effectiveness will depend on their position, their frequency of occurrence, and their relationship with other numbers.
The numbers also describe the potential of our personality. However, it is up to us to choose if we will exploit the talents or overdevelop the negative tendencies of our personality. The numbers describe the essential aspects of our individual characters, but it is up to us to embrace or reject these aspects, deriving benefit from them or abusing them. The quality of leadership, for instance, could be benevolent or dictatorial; business acumen could lead either to greed and ruthless competition or the acquisition of wealth through sound judgment and hard work.
It is important that we understand ourselves and our motivations. No meaningful relationship can be built without a similar appreciation of others and their motivations. A study of numerology may help us recognize the reasons behind the apparently illogical or inexplicable actions of another, or even ourselves, and with this knowledge comes tolerance.
Numerology informs us of our assets and shortcomings so that we can make the best of the former and improve and control the latter. A character analysis using numerology tells us about our general personality traits and our potential strengths and weaknesses. It suggests suitable employment and pastimes and examines how we handle financial resources. It reveals our social habits and reactions in various relationships. Numerology can play a considerable part in establishing a harmonious relationship in ones personal life as well as in business. In all types of relationships, it is helpful to do numerological research on the person or persons involved.
