The
Unicorn's Dance of the Numbers
Numerology
for Beginners
The
Beginning
I
became interested in Numerology in the early 1960s. The first book on
numerology I read was “Your Days Are Numbered” written by
Florence Campbell, published in 1931 (the year of my birth) and that
book still resides in my bookcase. I researched Cheiro (Chaldean
theory) and Pythagorus and the history of Numerology and became a
believer. Although I took several classes over the years, for the
most part I read and researched. The knowledge I gained about
Numerology, (from so many different sources I cannot even remember
them all), I am going to share with you here. There is nothing new
under the sun and anything I share here has been garnered from years
of study and I am still in the learning mode.
In
1983 and 1884 I taught a class on Numerology. I wrote a Student
Handbook entitled “Numerology for Beginners” and the contents of
that handbook are what I am going to share with you. In addition to
the basic components, there are many little extras such as the number
energy associated with your pet's name, social security number, home
address, telephone number and more that are included.
Numerology
is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It is one of the ancient
studies in the science of energy or vibrations. It is used as a
guidepost or blueprint of a person's strengths and weaknesses,
obstacles to overcome, talents, inner needs and emotional reactions.
It paints a picture that reveals all of the many, diverse parts of
your personality that, when all are combined, create the “you”
that you are and will/can become.
While
numbers are tools they do not restrict or limit in any way. We all
know that free will is a constant and that nothing is ever written in
stone. They do, however, bring a clearer knowledge of why you are
here. They indicate the obstacles you will encounter and also the
talents and abilities you brought in with you that will be of
assistance as you walk the path you have chosen to walk in this
lifetime.
The
word “mathematics” originated from the Greek “mathesia”
(the learning).
Its root “ma” (mother
wisdom).
Astrology originated in Babylon in 5th
Century B.C. Where it was called “Babylonia Numbers”. Since
number was the underlying principle of math, music and astrology,
great importance was attached to it. The Science of Numbers was
considered to be the origin of all things.
Although
the exact origin of numerology is unknown, it is generally accepted,
by most numerologists, that there is recorded history that indicates
its birth in Egypt and Babylon. There is also evidence that
numerology was used by the Chinese, Romans and Greeks.
Pythagoras...(570
B.C. To 490 B.C.):
born in Syria, named in honor of Pythasis (Oracle of Delphi,
prophetess of Apollo) who had told his parents (Minesarchus
and Parthenis),
of his coming birth and the importance of his life work which would
be useful to all men throughout all time.
He
came to believe:
Physical
manifestation must be preceded by mathematical conception.
Nothing
can exist without numbers.
The
Science of Numbers was considered to be the origin of all things.
It
has been told that his search for knowledge and wisdom led him to
many lands and into many different philosophies:
In
the Temple of Melchizedek
(Melchizedek
translates to “King of Righteousness” or “King of Justice”)
As
a child there Pythagorus became known as “The Son of God” (It
is said that Jesus of Nazareth, an Essene, studied in the same temple
centuries later).
With
Rabbis
who taught him the sacred traditions of Moses.
In
Egypt he studied
with the Egyptian Priests.
When
Egypt was captured by Babylon he spent a number of years studying
with the Chaldean Priests.
The
priests of Thebes
instructed him in the Mysteries
of Isis. This
doctrine teaches that divine power dwells within every man, that this
divine power is in the form of a light they call “The Hidden Light”
and that it is everyone's duty to bring out the best in others. He
was initiated into the Babylonian
and Chaldean mysteries.
It
is thought that the Egyptians taught him geometry and the Chaldeans
taught him astronomy.
In
Phoenicia and Syria:
He learned the mysteries of Adonis,
originally the Egyptian Sun God. (The
Phoenicians believed Adonis was responsible for the growth and
maturing of flowers and fruits.) It
is thought that the Phoenicians taught him arithmetic.
He
learned from Greek
Philosophers and
he studied with
Zoraster
who recognized two creative powers...good and evil and the triumph of
the good over evil. (Zoraster
also taught there is life after death.)
In
Hindustan,
he was instructed by Brahman
priests,
the only ones allowed to interpret the sacred Hindustani texts, the
Vedas.
There he became known as Yavancharya,
the lonian teacher.
The name is still preserved in the records of the Brahmans.
Crotona
(536 B.C.) a
Greek speaking region in Southern Italy. It was here that he
established a school that combined religious ritual with scientific
study. This
was the first university in history. It
was here that he taught many esoteric subjects, one of which was the
secrets of numbers. (According
to Max Heindel, member of the Brothers of the Rosy Cross, some 600
years later, Jesus established five schools of mystery, based on the
same principles, one of which was in Palestine.) The
information which has come down through the centuries regarding the
teachings of Pythagoras has come by word of mouth and a few preserved
manuscripts. Pythagoras was very secretive about his teachings.
We
will use the Pythagorean system of numerology. (The Chaldean system
does not assign the number 9 to anything because it was considered it
to be a holy and sacred number.) It is very straight forward and easy
to learn and work with. Pythagorus was one of the most controversial
of Greek Philosophers and although he is considered by many to be the
Father of Numerology, he was best known as a philosopher and a mystic
who possessed much knowledge on the fate of the soul after death.
When
Pythagoras was no longer considered to be an “initiate”, he
continued to feel there was much to learn. He did not want to be
considered a sage (one
who knows)
or sophist (wise) so he coined the world “philosopher”
(philo”...love
“sopho”...wisdom)
Lover of wisdom. He continued studying his entire life.
So...on
down the path to the Dance of The Numbers. Find your Life Path and
Expression, your Challenges and Karmic Lessons and let the energy of
the numbers guide you to a more enlightened, successful and
comfortable life.
