Numerology is the study of numbers and their influence on the course of events. The universe, the galaxies, all matters are energy moving, all vibrating. Our thoughts and actions are likewise energies, and we are all givers and recipients of each other’s energies. Numerology is a tool to reveal and explain the influence of these energies, especially on the life in general of each person.
Long time ago the Hindu and the Chaldeans found the length of what we now call the sidereal and synodic year of the planets. The Hindu also discovered the precession of the equinoxes and calculated that it will reiterate every 25,827th year. Numerologists use the Hindu-Arabic scale, also called the decimal system, which is the most used system today. It was invented by Indians, passed on to the West by the Arabs and nowadays used widely around the world.
Numerology is basically about making our lives harmonious so that we can easier experience and learn all things that life offers. Everything flows easier when it flows freely, and to each human being the numbers plays an important role because our lives depend on energies whose influence can be calculated by numbers. In short numerology is about advancing the positive and keeping down the negative.
In astrology they use the date, month and year, which tells us something about our zodiac sign. By adding date, month and year we will get more than 400 vibrations, while in numerology we only use the date because it has the strongest vibration that will colour us through life. That is why we in numerology use the date as the point of origin to cast one’s numerology chart. In each date lie some defined character traits and qualities as well – like in our zodiac sign. This number is called the birth number. In numerology we say that our names will be our destiny or destination.
Scholars have with certainty traced numerology back to the Jews, who got it delivered by the Chaldeans. I Judaism numerology also has another shade, the Kabbalah. The myth says that when Moses received the Ten Commandments, he also received the Kabbalah from God. But Moses found that this was too powerful for the people, so it was kept a secret and reserved to the initiates. The aboriginals in
Australia name the child at birth by carving the name in a stone and put in the earth. By the time of puberty the stone will be found again and the child renamed. All around the world in different cultures numerology exists with different cultural impacts.
The great philosophers like Pythagoras, Platon, C. G. Jung, Rudolf Steiner and Martinus were all fascinated by the mystic and power of numbers in our human development. They acknowledged that the numbers from 1-9 form the basis for all numbers and calculations according to the precession of the equinoxes. I might be logical to accept anything that all these great thinkers from ancient times have found out; then we accept so many other things that we do not understand – LIFE for instance!
