Have you ever wondered why a certain number or numbers keep bobbing up again and again in your life? Are you aware of the seemingly strange recurrence of a number or numbers in your street number, house number, apartment number, phone number, license numbers, bank account numbers, charge account numbers, Social Security number, IBM numbers? Is there a number you have found to be lucky for you in games of chance? Do you like to doodle or draw certain numbers? Do you feel attracted in some mysterious, intuitive way to a number or numbers that seem to bring you good fortune - or bad luck?
If you are consciously or unconsciously aware of the mysterious power of numbers in your life, you have been exercising a psychic ability to tune in to cosmic vibrations - the basic units of force underlying all changes and progressions in the universe, of which you are an integral part. Numbers do indeed play an unseen and important part in symbolically determining what you are and what part you can play in the universal drama of people and ideas.
Through the ancient occult science of Numerology it is possible to sweep away the mystery and superstition of numbers and find scientifically, and exactly what numbers are uniquely important to you, what numbers may bring you good fortune, and what numbers may possibly bring you bad luck or setbacks. And by knowing these numbers, you can learn how to best use your abilities, charm, and personality to plot a positive and fulfilling course of action for yourself.
Of all the occult sciences, Numerology is the simplest to use and understand and the most exact in its determination. All you need to know is your given name at birth and your birthdate. You do not need to know the hour of your birth or the longitude and latitude of your birthplace as you do in Astrology.
The science of Numerology assumes that the mind or the central core of intelligence of man is infinite but ever changing. The eternal plane on which all life exists and evolves is called the cosmic plane. A lifetime or life on a physical plane is just one cycle or incarnation through which each man's infinite intelligence passes in its continual search for perfection and balance with the universe. That mind is constantly evolving, registering, evaluating, incorporating or discarding outside influences. What we are is the total of what has happened to us and, more importantly, of how we have reacted to it. Each physical incarnation adds new experiences. We have been through many before and have more to come. The infinite mind keeps a constant record of all that has happened to it, although it may not be readily seen by the conscious mind.
Numerology focuses on this metaphysical premise in the following manner. First it breaks down man's two basic tools of communication - letters and numbers - into a simplified system of numbers. Then the numbers of an individual's name are used to analyze the past experiences of the individual on the cosmic plane and to indicate predisposition of character in his present physical plane, and the numbers in an individual's birthdate are used to predict the destiny of that individual in his present physical plane.
In Numerology, your full name at birth is the key to past experiences on the cosmic plane and to your basic character on this, your physical plane. Your name is like a cosmic registration card or a genetic chart. In its individual parts, it is a proportionate record of past experiences and knowledge gained in previous cycles on the cosmic plane. In its totality, it indicates a predisposition of character in this cycle of physical life. It is the essence of you, the point of which you base your actions and reactions. It is a symbolic description of the basic tools you have acquired and can use to build with, now and in the future.
A basic premise of Numerology is that all things in nature evolve in cycles that are measurable and predictable. It follows that, as an integral part of nature, the course of each human life is measurable and predictable.
In Numerology, your birthdate is the key to your personal series of cycles. From several calculations using the numbers of your month, day, and year of birth, one can construct a timetable which can give you personal direction. Your Numerological Timetable indicates the kind of environmental circumstances you will probably encounter, the things that are likely to happen to you, and the types of people you are likely to meet.
Do not be misled into thinking that your Numerological Timetable is fatalistic. To better understand its use, compare life to one long improvised movie. Each of us is the director of our own movie. We impose upon it the stamp of our own individual character. Your Numerological Timetable is an outline of the sets and the basic characters of the actors. You must work within the limitations of the sets and the limitations of the actors, but you may create with them what you will. By understanding the character of the setting and the actors, you can create the most perfect movie, or the most perfect life for yourself.
In other words, your individual response to what happens to you is as important as the circumstances that occur. You have the choice and the power to confront any situation, no matter how disagreeable it may seem at the time, and turn it to your advantage.
Your Numerological Timetable is composed of many cycles of various duration. Within the major and longer-felt influences are many variable and short-lived ones representing the multitude and variety of the experiences of life.
So, in summation: Numerology is a total science. It explains the relative existence of everything in nature, based on the premise that all is reducible to numbers, and that all numbers follow the natural law of predictable mathematical progression.
According to Numerology, everything in nature can be summed up by numbers, dates, words, and names. All of these can be reduced to the single digits 1 through 9, the basic units of force in Numerology. There are two exceptions. The numbers 11 and 22 are never reduced to their respective digits of 2 and 4. These two numbers are called Master Numbers and hold special significance.
In the centuries of study of Numerology, these two numbers have been found to have a special significance that precludes their reduction to their single essences of 2 and 4. The characteristics of these numbers are beyond the range of normal human experience. The experiences these numbers bring are only for the highly enlightened and the highly evolved. The numbers 11 and 22 never stop creating the future. They are the thresholds to change and progress.
When a number appears in someone's chart, the influence of that corresponding cosmic vibration is at work, attracting to that individual like an invisible magnet both the positive and negative aspects of the vibration. The person is free to choose which aspect of the vibration he will incorporate and use. He can build with the positive aspect and progress, or use the negative and find setbacks and even ultimate destruction.
This matter of individual choice is essential to Numerology. Numerology is not fatalistic. It can establish basic structure and predict the potential of the future. What you do with your tools and your potential environment is ultimately up to you. Man is subject to natural law, but he can make the decision to be self-determining within his limitations by his selection of aspect.
You can make the cosmic vibrations work for you.
