A Spiritual Perspective of Numerology

By Pamela Nine, Ph.D.


AN OVERVIEW OF NUMEROLOGY
Numerology is the in-depth study of numbers. It is also known as “the science of divining through numbers.” A person’s numerology chart represents the “blueprint” of who they are.

Numerology uses intricate mathematical principles to determine a person’s personality traits, strengths, talents, overcoming obstacles, emotional reactions and inner qualities. By using the theory and basis of numerology one can learn profound insights into their true life purpose and spiritual path.


A BRIEF HISTORY OF NUMEROLOGY

The study of numerology can be traced back 10,000 years or more to Egypt and Babylonia. Pythagoras, who developed many of the basic theorems that form the foundation of modern mathematics including the “Pythagorean theorem” which is the formula for a triangle and still taught in math classes today. Pythagoras is regarded as the founder of the science of Geometry, and credited for being the first person to realize that numbers are the foundation of the universe.

The theory of Pythagoras is that each number has a unique numerical attribute, and by finding the vibration rate, qualities and energies associated with it could be established. His theory further maintained that the vibrational energy of the universe, at the exact moment of a birth, holds a definite influence over each person’s character and life purpose. Pythagoras firmly believed and taught that the vibrating energies of numbers could be used to provide both significant and beneficial information into personality and character attributes, and even to better understand life events, places and things.

At the turn of the twentieth century, an increased interest in numerology resulted in more modern versions being placed into existence. Today, numerology is being used by people all over the world as a basis for understanding oneself, for interacting with others, and as a tool to promote spiritual growth.





APPLYING THE THEORY OF NUMEROLOGY
In applying the principles of numerology, a person’s birth date and birth name are calculated to determine the numerical frequency and vibratory energy associated with the person.

The numerical frequencies are based on a “blue print” scale of the numbers one to nine, (or eleven and twenty-two) with each vibrational number holding a positive and negative aspect of the associated attributes.



THE BIRTH NUMBER
The Birth Number primarily describes the overall personality characteristics of a person. It also denotes attributes of lessons one will encounter on the path to discovering their life purpose.

The Birth Number is the day in which a person is born.


CALCULATING THE BIRTH NUMBER
The Birth Number is derived from reducing the number of the day a person is born to a single 1 - 9 digit. Unless, the birth number is an 11 or 22 which are master numbers and are not reduced.


Example: Dannie’s birth date is, 07/24/1904

24 is reduced by adding (2 + 4) = 6

Dannie’s Birth Number is: 6


THE LIFE PATH NUMBER
The Life Path Number is the most important number in a numerology reading. It describes the essence of who you are, and reflects major influences, important events and important lessons that you may be presented with during the course of your life. These lessons often determine the central focus of the life. It also describes major opportunities, challenges and the overall characteristics of a person.

The Life Path Number is the calculated sum of the digits in a person’s month, day and full year of birth.


CALCULATING THE LIFE PATH NUMBER
Calculating a Life Path Number from the birth date is a very simple process. Each number of the birth month, day and full year are added until a single digit from 1 to 9 is reached. In advanced numerology, the exception is if the end number is an 11 or 22. The 11 and 22 are not reduced further to become a single digit, and are known as Master Numbers.


Example: Rhea’s birth date is, 08/11/1963
8 + 1 + 1 +1 + 9 + 6 + 3 = 29
29 is then reduced by adding (2 + 9) = 11

Rhea’s Life Path Number is: 11

Note: Some numerologists still prefer to reduce all ending numbers to a single digit, including the 11 and 22 Master Numbers. If this is the case, the 11 would be reduced by adding (1 + 1) which results in the Life Path Number being 2.



THE BIRTH NAME NUMBER
In numerology, the letters in people’s names are assigned to a number using the “Pythagorean Number System.” The numbers are then added together, and reduced to give the end resulting number frequency associated with the exact “Birth Name” of a person.

This equation is used in determining an in overall character analysis of a person from their birth name.


CALCULATING THE BIRTH NAME NUMBER
Calculating the Birth Name Number from is a very simple process. Using the exact name on your birth certificate, and the Pythagorean Number System Guide, a number is assigned to each letter of the name, all of the numbers are then added and reduced until a single digit from 1 to 9 is reached. In advanced numerology, the exception is if the end number is an 11 or 22. The 11 and 22 are not reduced further to become a single digit, and are known as Master Numbers.

Note: Some numerologists still prefer to reduce all ending numbers to a single digit, including the 11 and 22 Master Numbers. If this is the case, the 11 would be reduced by adding (1 + 1) which results in the Birth Name Number being 2, and 22 would be reduced by adding (2 + 2) which results in the Birth Name Number being 4.



Example: Dannie's Exact Birth Certificate Name is:

DANNIE MAE NEWBERRY
D     A     N     N     I     E     M     A     E     N     E     W     B     E     R     R     Y
4     1     5     5     9     5     4     1     5     5     5     5     2     5     9     9     7

4 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 9 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 9 + 7 = 86

86 is then reduced by adding (8 + 6) = 14
14 is then reduced by adding (1 + 4) = 5

Dannie’s Birth Name Number is: 5






THE PYTHAGOREAN NUMBER SYSTEM GUIDE

Example: The letter A is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the English alphabet.



1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z



Now, that we have an understanding of how the Birth, Life Path, and Birth Name are calculated into numbers, we can take the next step and see what the numbers mean...



NUMBER INTERPRETATIONS

The numbers one (1) through nine (9) represent the overall “blueprint” of a person in relation to the scope of human characteristics, and ultimately form the basis of each person’s unique personality.

THE MASTER NUMBERS

There are two double digit numbers that, while they are rooted in the single digit numbers, require special attention and emphasis. These are the numbers 11 and 22. They are called Master Numbers.

The Master Numbers are numbers which are considered to contain higher frequencies of energy. People who have these numbers must learn maturity in all senses of the word in order to integrate the highly charged energy symbolism into their personality. In other words, the Master Numbers represent people who have the potential - when used in accordance with their divine plan - to inspire others and to help heal our world.


Master Number 11:
Keywords: illumination, intuitive, spiritual channel, healer, teacher; nervous tension.
The 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It represents illumination, a channel to the subconscious, insight without rational thought, and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness and impracticality. It is a dreamer. The 11 has all aspects of the 2, enhanced and charged with charisma, leadership and inspiration. It is a number with inborn duality, which creates dynamism, and inner conflict with its mere presence. It is a number that, when not focused on a goal beyond itself, can sometimes create inner fears or phobias. The 11 walks the edge between greatness and self-destruction. Its potential for growth, stability and personal power lies in its acceptance of intuitive understanding and of spiritual truths. For the 11, such peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith. It is automatically attuned to the unconscious realms and is known as the psychic’s number. Once it becomes comfortable with its special gifts, it will serve as the spiritual channel between the physical and spiritual worlds. The 11 can also have nervous tension due to the high energy frequency of its number.

Note: Those who have the Master Number 11 should also study the Number 2 for the characteristics of the reduced form of 11. Master Number 11's should also recognize the Number 1 due to the “double 1" energy it symbolizes. In other words, people with the Master Number 11 have a lot of inner work to do to accomplish their true destiny and life purpose!

Master Number 22:
Keywords: master builder, power, spiritual understanding, high ideals; manipulative.
The 22 is the most powerful of all the numbers. It is often called the Master Builder. The 22 can turn the most ambitious of dreams into reality. It has many of the inspirational and intuitive insights of the 11, combined with the practicality and methodical nature of the four. It is unlimited, yet disciplined. It sees the archetype and brings it down to earth in some material form. It has big ideas, great plans, idealism, leadership and enormous self-confidence. If not practical, 22’s waste their potential. Like the 11, the 22 can easily shrink from its own ambition, causing difficult interior pressures. Both the 11 and 22 experience their high energy frequency effect very strongly. It must work toward the realization of goals that are larger than the personal ambition. The 22 serves the world in a practical way. Its great ambition may also drive it to become over-controlling or even manipulative.

Note: Those who have the Master Number 22 should also study the Number 4 for the characteristics of the reduced form of 22. Master Number 22's should also recognize the Number 2 due to the “double 2" energy it symbolizes. And, like the Master Number 11, people with the Master Number 22 also have a lot of inner work to do to accomplish their true destiny and life purpose!


SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NUMBER “ZERO”


Ancient studies revealed that people with a zero either in their Birth Number or Life Path Number (prior to being reduced) the innate ability of inner guidance and spiritual intuitiveness. People with the zero often have an inner calmness and use it as a guide for assisting themselves and others toward their life purpose. The zero also represents the qualities of motivation, supportiveness and encouragement. All of which are wonderful attributes in helping others find their way.


FOR ADDITIONAL NUMBER INFORMATION

Our Angels and Spirit Guides often use numbers and number sequences to communicate divine messages to us. These profound messages come in the form of numbers we are repeatedly confronted with, and which appear on clocks, license plates, sale receipts, billboards and a multitude of other places.

The “Divine Messages” we receive through numbers usually occur during a specific period, time frame or cycle associated with a lesson we are encountering. They are also often the result of a spiritual awakening or prayer confirmation.
