Universal Ramblings

Numerology is the impure science of reducing names, birth dates and other significant dates down to their numerical equivalents in order to divine the future. However numerology is much more than an oracle. It is also a way of making profound investigations into your personality, your deepest drives and what makes you (or another person) tick.

It is also a surprisingly accurate method of determining what your potentials and limitations are when it comes to social relationships, career and love. It can also be a help you realize where you fit in terms of the “big picture” as well remind you of your original dreams and aspirations.

Each letter of the alphabet has a numeric value that is associated with a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of symbolic information. These numbers can reveal a great deal about your character, your purpose in life, what motivates you, and what talents you have yet to exploit in life.

Like astrology, numerology can trace its roots back many centuries. The basic idea behind numerology is the numbers encoded into our unique individual birth names and birth date influences that who we are to some extent.

A Brief History of Numerology

Numerology is one of the world’s oldest forms of metaphysical communication and interpretation. In ancient times, primitive tribes used numbers to communicate and trade ideas. Today numerology is an intriguing fusion of cabalism, religion and occult divination.

Nobody really knows the exact origins of numerology, but both Kabbalists and the ancient Egyptians practiced it many ages before the birth of Christ.

Numerologists maintain that every number expresses a cosmic vibration as well as a mathematical quantity. Both Pythogaras (530 BC) and Agrippa (1534 AD) elaborated on this concept that all things in the universe are associated with a number. Both mathematicians surmised that numbers embody both a tangible (mathematical) and intangible (spiritual) quantity.

In the early twentieth century, the science of numerology was revived by a series of books published from 1911-1917 by L. Dow Balliett. In the 1930’s the subject once again was expounded by the great mystic -Florence Campbell. These two writers developed most of the formulas that are used today to reduce names down to numbers to decipher future events.

Modern numerologists follow the same principles as established by Balliett and Campbell but have added psychological, behavioral and personality testing components to the interpretation of numerical equations.
