Numerology: The Universal Mystical Language

Suppose a space ship were to zoom down from the sky and land right smack dab in the middle of your driveway. Go ahead, picture it…a shiny, silvery saucer type ship. Now suppose a side hatch opened and a unfamiliar looking being stepped on spindly legs down a ramp, heading straight toward you.

What would you say?! What words would you choose in order to attempt to communicate with this cosmic creature?

My friends, some of you may have realized right off the bat, attempting to communicate with words would be a laborious if not poor choice indeed. Numbers, on the other hand, just might get you somewhere - off in the direction of a realistic and understood conversation. It’s true; any physicist will tell you: numbers are the Universal language. When all else fails - language, ideas, thoughts, telepathy - mathematics and the patterns and numbers we can create with them, transcends all communicative boundaries.

There’s a catch phrase today: do the math. We use it to convey that someone should literally do the arithmetic, and we use it when we’re trying to indicate that something of a non-mathematical nature needs to be figured out. Here’s another popular saying: the numbers don’t lie. Whether referring to the true cost of something or the actual weight, ratio, percentage or probability of any old thing, no - the numbers do not lie.

It is the same with Numerology. Each recognized digit from 0 through 9 carries its own numerical vibration or flavor. And once assigned to an individual, those numbers do not lie about who that individual is. In my experience, human beings are amazingly true to the numerological signatures attached to them.

One’s personal Numerology is derived by several methods, each used to glimpse at the various aspects of one’s personality or life. There are long methods used to create detailed, meticulous Numerology charts. There are short-hand versions used to derive abbreviated but no less accurate reads.

I can spot a person with a dominant 1 vibration a mile away.
And believe me when I tell you, nines carry a vibration in a spiritual class all their own.
An eight’s ambition is unmistakable, as is the heady energy of a five.

How about a quick tour of Numerology, including a few facts about origin and how you can learn to use the basics of this form of divination? Here’s a quick reference chart so you can compare the basics of the two Numerological schools of thought and practice.

Pythagorean System/ Chaldean System

*Originated with Pythagoras/ *Conversion is out of sequence, Pre-dates the Pythagorean System

*More popular and easier to use/ *Harder to use than Pythagorean

*Started around 600 BC /*Start date and who first taught it unknown

*Sometimes called Modern Numerology / *Sometimes called Mystic Numerology

*Gives a more materialistic meaning / *Gives an occult or mystical meaning

*All compound numbers reduce to single digits / *Shows behind the scenes forces

*Letters converted using #’s 1-9 / *Letters converted using #’s 1-8

LEARNING NUMEROLOGY - Quick Lesson

I prefer the system taught and used by the famed philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras. It makes sense to me and has proven to be startlingly accurate for the significant number of friends, family members and clients I have cast charts for. As they say, when you find something that works, stick with it.

Pythagoras believed in an oral tradition, that is, his teachings were passed only to the initiated by word of mouth, as the information was considered highly powerful and sacred. The man lived in Southern Greece and taught philosophy by day; under cover of night, he secretly taught Numerology to his students.

You may not know it, dear reader, but you were taught Pythagorean geometrical theories in high school. And Pythagoras may not have known it, but his system was nothing new - there is evidence that Numerology was in use long before he arrived on the scene, in China, Greece, Rome and ancient Egypt. Still, Pythagoras is considered the “father of Numerology” as his teachings pierced through boundaries to intrigue Christian scholars, including St. Augustine. Pythagorean teachings were taken up by Plato and eventually found a home in the Jewish Cabala. And lo and behold: here we are discussing his Numerology today.

Wouldn’t it be great fun if you could divine some Numerology for yourself? Here’s a quick lesson. To perform even the most basic Numerological calculations, one must grasp the Numerical Vibrations that are associated with each letter of our alphabet. Copy down this chart, it is essential.

Next, you must learn the meanings of the numbers. Above we saw how the letters of our alphabet correspond to a specific numerical vibration. But what do those numbers mean? Below are brief but very powerful, meanings. Copy, paste and print, dear readers: understanding the meanings and being able to reference them, is important.

1 - LEADER
These folks are original, independent and courageous. They are high achievers, known for their strength, lone wolf nature and creative talents. Self sufficient, inventive, willful, dominant.

2 - PARTNER / TEAM PLAYER
This is the diplomat, friend, artist and/or enduring peacemaker. They are gentle, insightful, sensitive and compassionate. Excellent in partnerships, loyal and giving. Artistic, shy, analytical.

3 - OPTIMIST
Creative and social, this is the easygoing visionary. Humorous, energetic, spontaneous with lots of imagination, enthusiasm and never-ending energy. Very social, loves to enjoy life.

4 - PRACTICAL
These folks are builders who know how to use application, determination and serious planning. They are doers who love managing and traditions. They crave stability, security, productivity.

5 - PROGRESS
Above all, these folks want adventure. They love freedom, action and flair. They tend to be able to influence and promote people and/or things and they are known for their sensuality.

6 - SERVICE
Domestic and responsible, these folks are careful and giving of themselves. They hasten to be the teacher and are willing to be the caring provider or worker. They love being the healer.

7 - INVESTIGATOR
Yearning for answers to life’s deep questions, these people tend to be eccentric, thoughtful, spiritual and loners. They may be the specialist or inventor, tend to seek analysis or perfection.

8 - POWER
These materialisitc types are often the executive, professional or entrepreneur. Exuding ambition and strength, they are problem solvers who love money, achievement and success.

9 - UNIVERSAL
Spiritual types who see globally or universally. Very spiritual, they are often multi-talented humanitarian teachers. They inspire others, seem like old souls and excel as healers or artists.

MASTER NUMBERS
There is an elite group of individuals who vibrate at the freqency of what is known as a Master. There are three degrees of the Master vibration. Some might say it is unfair or inappropriate to classify certain individuals as elite. I would argue that with the work these Master individuals often do, they are deserving of such a classification. Of course, it is always up to the individual to both embrace and life up to, their assigned numerical vibrations. Here are the three degrees of Master:

11 - IDEALIST
This is the artist, the highly energized individual who quite literally inspires others. Often, they do so on a mass scale as a celebrity of some kind (actor, writer, musician, professor). They are psychological, radical, sensitive, romantic. True visionaries, they believe in living the dream and are able to convince or inspire others to do the same through their communications and actions. Some feel there is an abundance of 11s now, with the global expansion in consciousness that is taking place. It is said 11s are here in force now as a means to energize and stimulate others, to prepare for what is to come in our spiritual future.

22 - MASTER BUILDER
Also idealistic, these individuals are expansive visionaries whose focus is on building. They do so through government or philanthropic work, for the purpose of global then eventual universal, transformation. These folks achieve what others merely muse about. They manage to do so on a scale that positively impacts many others. They see the archetype and bring it to material form. Some say there are a number of 22s on the planet now, with more arriving as earth seeks to expand and heal.

33 - MASTER TEACHER
Think of Ghandi, Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa or Buddah and you have the 33. These people are compassionate healers. They are a blessing to others, a teacher of teachers. They can be the martyr, inspiration, the one honest voice. They can be the monk who chooses seclusion over the ills of the world. A fully realized 33 is extremely rare. Some believe there are a few 33s on the planet now, with more to be sent in so that not just our planet, but humanity itself can expand and heal.

_________________________________________________________________

Now that you’ve a basic understanding of Numerology’s alphabetical vibrations and the meanings of the numbers, shall we do a few calculations so you can peer into the recesses of your own life?


THE LIFE PATH

Let’s start by taking a look at one of the single most important numbers calculated for every indiviudal on the planet: the Life Path. In Numerology, the Life Path indicates your basic direction in this life and your general nature. Your Life Path is your perspective and “flavor” during this current journey through life. The Life Path number is derived from all the numbers in your birth date.

To arrive at your Life Path Number, simply add up all the digits of your birth date. Your goal is to continue adding, until you reduce to a single digit.

Example:
October 31, 1975 becomes 10/31/1975.
This becomes: 10+31+1975.
This becomes: 2016.
This becomes: 2+0+1+6.
This becomes: 9.
Therefore the Life Path number is 9.

Another example:

April 12, 1961 becomes 4/12/1961.
This becomes: 4+12+1961.
This becomes: 1977.
This becomes: 1+9+7+7.
This becomes: 24.
This becomes: 2+4.
This becomes: 6.
Therefore the Life Path number is 6.

To find out your own Life Path now, convert your birth date the way I’ve demonstrated, above. Derive a single digit. Now read about that single digit in the meanings of the numbers, also above.

How much does this sound like you? If this does not seem in harmony with who you are at present, are you perhaps not in alignment with your Life Path? Would it benefit you to work toward achieving greater balance so that you can be?

THE SOUL URGE

It behooves every one of us to calculate the Soul Urge, because it is the thing that is behind every decision we make, every tendency we have and every word we ultimately say. The Soul Urge is what silently informs us in word and deed, and it can either propel us forward or trip us up.

The Soul Urge is usually kept private; individuals don’t usually expose it to others. Soul Urge is comprised of our inner cravings, our dislikes and likes, our true feelings. Here is how to discover your Soul Urge.

Make a list of all the vowels in your name. You must use your entire birth name. Some people have changed their name, taken on a new name or picked up a nick name. None of these new or pseudo names will give you an accurate Numerology read. At birth, we are given a name in order to establish a specific vibration and constitution. Who you go on to identify yourself as, does not change this constitution. It is true your constitution can be augmented by evolution of the self (as in when an individual takes on a spiritual name). That said, to reiterate, for an accurate Numerology read, you must use your entire birth name.

Once you have a list of all the vowels in your name, convert them into digits. Now add those digits up in the same way used to achieve the Life Path number. Continue adding until you reduce to a single digit. That single digit is your Soul Urge. Now find the meaning of that number. This reveals much about your inner self.

Example:

ANN NAOMI TISSERAND
Vowels in that name: a, a, o, i, i, e, a.
Which become: 1, 1, 6, 9, 9, 5, 1.
Which becomes: 1+1+6+9+9+5+1.
Which becomes: 32.
Which becomes: 3+2.
Which becomes: 5.
Therefore the Soul Urge is 5.

DESTINY
Finally, let’s look at the Destiny number. This is also a very important number, because it describes the talents, attributes and natural abilities at your disposal during this lifetime. Not everyone utilizes all of their talents and therefore they often do not realize their Destiny. However, I have seen many cases in which an individual discovers or accepts what their talents and natural abilities are, only to then go on to embrace and use them much to their satisfaction and fulfillment.

Your Destiny number is derived from all the numbers in your name. Once again, you must use your entire birth name. Begin by converting all letters to numbers. Then add those numbers, reducing until you reach a single digit. That single digit is your Destiny number.

Example:

MARK ROLAND FIRESTORM
This becomes: 4, 1, 9, 4, 9, 6, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 9, 5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 4.
This becomes: 4+1+9+4+9+6+3+1+5+4+6+9+5+1+2+6+9+4.
This becomes: 88.
This becomes: 8+8.
This becomes: 16.
This becomes: 1+6.
This becomes: 7.

Finally, as an aside, let’s look at THEME NUMBERS. Theme Numbers are thought by some Numerologists, including myself, to potentially reveal an individual’s tendencies or likely attitudes. Theme Numbers are not cast in Numerological stone as the weighty Soul Urge, Life Path and Destiny numbers are. The idea that an individual may have and be influenced by Theme Numbers is not a theory all Numerologist agree on. However, in my experience, Theme Numbers can and do reveal themselves. In more cases than not, a person’s Theme Numbers accurately reveal other aspects of themselves.

Look, for example, at our imaginary friend Mark Roland Firestorm, above. Once his entire birth name is converted to digits, the numbers 9 and 4 jump out at you. Those numbers repeat and recurr throughout his name. I would argue that our dear friend Mark Roland Firestorm would be very prone to the defining characteristics and tendencies of the 9 and 4 - in spite of or in addition to, what numbers such as his Life Path or Destiny, may reveal.
_________________________________________________________________

There is so much more Numerology can reveal, including your Inner Dreams, the Pinnacles (high points) or Challenges that are to come in your life, and Relationship Compatability. Here is an interesting website with links to many books on Numerology, for the reader who would like to continue research. http://www.astrostar.com/books_9.htm

In closing, some might argue that Pythagorean Numerology is flawed as not all alphabets use letters A-Z. I would be willing to bet if our alphabet changed significantly, a new system of Numerology would emerge or be divined. It has been my experience that this is how the Universe works.

Until next time, may all your days be inspired, may your nights be restful and may your Numbers speak to you!

A Prayer

She bows her head in reverent prayer
Facing the icon standing there
On her knees she makes her plea
‘Please bring him safely back to me’
The same request she makes every trip
With tears in her eyes and quivering lip
Fear grips her soul for she surely knows
Only God’s grace controls the ocean’s flows
Whether her mood will be of rage or calm
She can only pray he be kept safe from harm
In her heart a peaceful serenity begins
He will hear her cry in faithfulness
Voicing her thanks in awe and grace
She counts her blessings and lifts her face
Smiling up at the Holy statue above
She looks upon the eyes full of love

A red rose is much more than it appears to be......

A red rose is much more than it appears to be.

Roses are a symbols of beauty, a fragrant flower that means love and happiness. The delicate, soft pedals are perfectly shaped and joined together. As the rose grows, it's in a bud state and it's protected. And as it grows even more, it starts to bloom into a magnificent display of beauty that has communicated love, gratitude, appreciation, and happiness between countless people. But there is more to a rose than just it's pretty flower.

As the rose blooms and opens up it's flower to expose the true beauty that lies within it becomes vulnerable. Blooming exposes it's heart so to speak. But it also needs to bloom in order to continue on it's legacy as a rose. Without blooming, the rose would remain in a tight bud never allowing nature to do its job. If the rose never "exposed it's heart" it would be much less vulnerable but the alternative is even worse.

The rose will suffocate on it's own fear and never get to truly be a rose. Nature has helped the rose by lining it's stem with tough, sharp thorns to protect it. The rose is much like us... We need to grow and bloom in order to really feel life. But at the same time it makes us vulnerable. As you start to bloom and open up your heart to everything you are and have inside of you,it exposes a lot of vulnerable places.

The difference is, we have to develop our own "thorns" so to speak. In other words, we need to develop tools and ways to protect ourselves from the dangers that inherently lie within blooming. That's simply a process of expanding your awareness about who and what you are. It's exactly what I had to do while going through the most difficult time in my life.

And it's exactly what these 11 Principlesteach you to do:

http://www.banabu.com

You can stay in a tight, safe bud or you can choose to bloom and discover your true power. If you choose the later, this will help a ton:

I know it got me through the most trying times in my life and eventually got me to a pretty good place. (Not perfect,just pretty dang good).

To blooming,

Lessons Learned - Four Years Cancer Free

My colleague Agi asked me recently, "so what have you learned from cancer?"
 
I replied, "I always thought it was about stress - cancer was a lesson on how to avoid stress."
 
But it's become more than that. Cancer has taught me many things. Some I always know and act on. Others I need a kick up the butt to remember!

 
Here's my top five lessons learned, courtesy of cancer:
 
1. The only person who can say 'no' is you. Even though your colleagues may see you overloading yourself with responsibilities, jobs, and obligations, AND they know you've been through cancer, only YOU can say 'no'. Don't wait for somebody else to take responsibility for your life - not even your adoring husband can do that - you've got do it for yourself. So stand up firm, believe in the primacy of your own life, and say 'no' to what does not support you in thriving.

 
2. What's the point in worrying? Actually, that's my husband Rob's motto. He's the happiest man in the world (you can tell as he hums in the shower every morning). It's a great lesson and I really needed it when going through cancer. You can live in worry, or you can live in positive expectation. Either way the future is unknown, so might as well feel good about what's coming instead of dreading it.

 
3. The small things really matter. Saying thankyou, a warm hug, paying for someone else's coffee, knowing the squeejee guy's name who waits for you on the corner to wash your car windows, jonquils that bloom on your birthday, friends who love you enough to call you even when you haven 't called them in six months, notes from appreciative readers that make your day, your husband who makes dinner every night. (ok, that's really a big one, but it still counts!) These little moments make up the quality of your life each day - seek them out. Give them out!

 
4. The big things really matter. Did you forget to celebrate? Milestones can whip past you faster than a grasshopper strapped to an airplane. It's easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of life and leadership - make sure you stop and appreciate your achievements. Rewards are a good thing too. Shopping at Ondina's is an excellent reward - I can feel my wallet burning a hole in my pocket right now with her more than 50% off sale happening ...
 
Don't fancy a trip out? Snoozing on the couch with a favourite book, mooching around in your jammies after a sleep-in, and taking a weekend off to simply 'be' are also excellent rewards.

 
5. From time to time you will get caught up in old patterns. Be ok with that. Don't beat yourself up. Ships, airplanes, and YOU are often off-course as they make their way to their destination. So if you find yourself fretting about the 'old stuff' - like how big your butt is, or whether the people at your new job will like you, or bedroom cupboards that need fixing, or the fact that the'&$@#' printer won't print - it's ok. This too shall pass. Get over it, or pay someone to fix it for you - butt included.

 
Lastly, life is a creative experience, like pottery - some experiences are gorgeous; others are like lumps of pooh that have been dumped on the spinning wheel. Just clean up, have a laugh, and go again.
 
Life is too short to get wound up, drink bad wine, and eat cheap chocolate.

 
To your delicious life,

 
Zoe
