Is your life a numbers game?

Your birthday and your name are no accident. As the theory goes, before we were born we developed a contract with our spirit guides and when we incarnated into this life the family we chose, the name we agreed to and even the day of our birth were all a part of the plan. Before the industrial or information revolutions, every major civilization in the world, including the Greeks, Romans, Mayans, Mesopotamians, Native Americans, and New Zealand Maori – all relied on signs and numbers to help them understand life and the forces that affect us. Such theories and discussions are written about by St. Augustine in the Bible, and other prophets or disciples in the Talmud, the Koran, even the Egyptian Book of the Dead; all allude to numbers in ways that require interpretation. The greatest philosophers including Pythagoras, Socrates, Aristotle and Plato also studied, spoke, taught and analyzed the ability of numbers as predictive indicators and in fact the source of understanding the universe.

In modern times these theories and beliefs are espoused and have sold tens of millions of books around the world by such internationally famous authors and doctors including Caroline Myss on soul contracts, Destiny of Souls or Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton, Many Lives Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss, and The Book of the Hopi (Native American tribe). The list is a long one.

The more we learn and prove from these theories, the more these theories reinforce that all life forces are based upon common principles of math. The Chinese i Ching, used by Sir Isaac Newton to help understand his basic laws of physics and Nobel Laureate Francis Crick (co-discoverer of DNA) and even modern computer designers, all refer back to these ancient books and theories as we try to unravel the mysteries of the universe.

What is numerology and if we search back through time when did this originate and by whom?

The practice of numerology is based upon statements from the Greek philosopher and perhaps the world’s first mathematician, Pythagoras, in around 600 BC, who espoused that the world is built upon the power of numbers. Pythagoras reasoned that the entire universe could be expressed numerically, creating a mystical system expended by other early Greek philosophers. Numerological practices and beliefs have survived throughout the centuries down to the present day.

Actually, we all know that life most, if not all of life, is comprised of formulas and equations and these numbers translate into a form of vibration:  commonly accepted vibrations are sound waves that comprise music or speech or electromagnetic and microwaves that transmit data.

We all “feel” and sense these vibrations.  We all have our story about children greeting strangers, or dogs growling at one guest and wagging his tail at another. We accept these as some form of intuition or sensing, but stop and ask yourself, what is generating these “feelings”?

These vibrations, this energy force, which the Chinese call “Chi”, the Japanese “Ki”, and Indians call “Prana” is the same source that is partially defined by numerology and mathematics.

This is how and why numerology became a system of divination because systems are based upon the broader concept that the entire universe is composed of mathematical patterns, and all patterns can be expressed in numbers that correspond to universal vibrations.

Ask yourself this; does a name have a vibration? Yes, it does, the consonants and vowels form a pattern from sound and speech. Hence, numerological programs and algorithms reduce these to numbers in order to determine personalities, destinies and fortunes of individuals.

So what can we determine from numerology? Advanced computer programs take our name and birth date and share such things as: our life path, our personality, our hearts greatest desire, our life challenges, karmic debts, life cycles and much more.

Should numerology be used to direct your life? I don’t think so. Can numerology be useful in helping us understand the answers to quintessential questions – who am I, why am I here, why am I not happy – I think so.
