    What is numerology.
    I looked through some books that turned out to be completely illogical as if created by people with no concept of mathematics.
    Can somebody please give me at least a decent explanation of numerology that does not defy the laws of mathematics?

    BASICALLY.. the way i see it....

    the base system man commonly uses is the base 10... and so we go from there.

    each number is on a scale.. as all things in life are on a scale...


    in my practice... i follow this basic guidline for using numbers in my life.
    0= nothing
    1 = alone.. single.. lonely.. on top..etc...
    2 = couple... together... paired.. sharing.. love.. potential for 3.
    3 = trinity.. father son holy spirit.. 3.14159.... etc..
    4 = profit.. gain... 2 plus 2... greed..
    5 = fun... 1 plus 2 plus 2.. good times.. party... fun fun, for the one.
    6 = is difficult to describe, and i aviod it.
    7 = lucky.. loner... but part of big groups...
    8 = comflict... battle.. 4 and 4.. both want profit.. both figth for gain.
    9 = perfection... 1 plus 8.. one controls 4 and 4... command..
    10 = 1 and 0... same as one or zero... 1 is so lonely.. it doesnt matter.


    mind you... this is my own, self made chart.

    SO IF IM GOING TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT... i choose my numbers carfully.

    for example.. i wouldnt want a car with alot of 8's... but i would want 5's...

    its that simple... and yes.. it is that stupid.

    I can make sense out of most superstions, and see degrees of plausibilities in many, but I guess numerology could only work if there was justification for using 10 based system as the basis.

    Pythagoras invented numerology... or so they say... but it was known by others long ago.

    Numerology dates way before Pythagoras.
    He supposedly invented the Pythagorean theorem. Not numerology.
    Why do people always try to credit these crackers with inventing crap they didn't never invent?

    8 is a very lucky number in Japan, I've heard, to live on number 8 is very attractive.
    Which also is 26, 17, 35, 44 etc.
    I think it was with the Kabbalah that numerology became popular, Egyptians and Sumerians also used it a lot.
    Synchronicities in combination with numerology can drive anyone insane, but it's a fun way to go.

    It's drivel believed by people who are really staggeringly boring. The kind of person who lives at number 4 and says "Hmm, 4 times pi over the square root of 666 is 2.8330967486313279391667734250282e-5. It must mean something!"

    There are numbers that describe who you are. The 5 most important are the soul #, the personality number,the power number, the birth day number and the life path number. The life path # being the most imp. is calculated by adding the single digits of your birthday, for ex. 3/31/1984= 3+3+1+1+9+8+4=11=1+1=2, so two would be the life path number of the person.

    Wow, that's brilliant. These guys that invented numerology not only worked out that your date of birth would determine your "life path", but they also managed to realise that a couple of thousand years after they'd died out we'd use a completely different calendar/ dating system and apparently fitted their "mathematics" to that.

    Numerology is in the same class as astrology - junk.

    According to that method there's only ten "possible" lifepaths -not much choice then, is there? At least astrology gives 12 options.

    (Or is it 13 now? I vaguely remember somebody on TV saying there were actually 13 "constellations/ signs").

    we don't use different calendar/dating system today.

    our calendar/dating system is based on astrology. thats why there's 12 hours a day, 12 months and 365 days a year (360 circle).

    christ in the middle of the 12 signs, he is Ophiuchus, the eagle, the serpent bearer, the 13th.

    as moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him has eternal life.

    It does't predict your future, it just tells you alot of characteristics about yourself that people when given a reading find to be surprisingly true. And there is more than just the life path number that tell the direction of your life. There are many others. Same numbers or a combination tend to follow people around.

    Communist Hamster, if you gave me a date of birth I will give you a short reading of the person which you might find to be accurate orsome similarities in that persons personality and the way they lead their life.

    So you give some vague descriptions that people want to believe? Nice try.

    So when these guys came up with numerology all those thousands of years ago they used the current Christian numbering for years, had 12 months in a year and the same number of days? Not a chance.
    Here in the UK we have 24 hours per day

    . So what. I know the calendar is based on astrological observation, (more specifiaclly it's not BASED on astrology so much as the fact that the Earth rotates in 24 hours on its own axis, round the sun in 365 days etc.), but the calendar is used for keeping track of time... (so I know when to expect a birthday present). But as a predictive "science" astrology is junk.

    Redarmy11, this person's lifepath # is a 5- they are an adventurer, they love freedom, fun and adventure, variety, passon for example they might take adifferent path to work every morning, the avg. male 5 doesn't get married right away and if they do it is more than once, first marriage is short-lived because they don't like to feel tied down.. If a woman she coan't stand a man to be too clingy. In terms of careers they make good photojournalists, pilots, flight attendents, travel agents, tour guides, cruise directors anything to do with travel. it is imp. that a 5 live out their quest because if they don't t then their life can easily turn into a soap opera. This false drama can easily lead to depression and a martyr complex. %'s have a wild side as well. They have a natural gift for entertaining and you can find them in the hospital industry as well as wedding planning and decorating. On the wild side they can be rock stars, strippers and casino owners becaus ethey would rather be dead then bored. They like to escape into fiction so they might likeJ.K Rowling, they are also compassionate because they can't stand to see injustice done even if doesn't involve them.
    Attitude number is the # that describes your general attitude toward life- (7)- you don't get to know what they are thinking, they keep to themselves and are introspective. They don't have a problem asking questions, but they will look at you suspiciously if you ask them, they must continue studying the quest of why they are here, they will reveal themselves slowly as they go.

    Also the Birth day number which is the way other people see that person is 3 - they appear to be a joyous person and a faithful friend. While they appear to be artistic and imaginative, people will see that person as practical and if a parent, a very good disciplinarian. They are good communicators and people will often seek out their counsel. if they can't find ways to be happy they will be moody, but they bounce back quickly.
