THE DOCTRINE OF NUMBERS

"Above all the other sciences, or parts of mathematics, the followers of Pythagoras esteemed the Doctrine of Numbers, which they believed to have been revealed to man by the celestial dieties. And they pronounced Arithmetic to be the most ancient of the sciences," writes Dr. G. Oliver in The Pythagorean Triangle."

Numerology is a system of interpreting the numerical significance of numbers and their relationship to letters, words, names, et cetera. At the present time, there are several major forms of modern Numerology that have been derived from concepts in the original systems. These systems originated in Babylonia (Chaldean), Egypt (Egyptian Enumeration), Greece (Pythagorean) and Isreal (Kabbalah). Although modern Numerolgy cannot claim a direct lineage to any of the ancients, they are often closely related and similar in concept to those systems.

Being interested in mathematics, metaphysics and spirituality, Pythagoras joined several concepts into his system of Numerology. Pythagorean Numerology looks at the aspects both name and date of birth (Birth Path). The numbers 1 through 9 are used to relate to various letters in the alphabet.

The system of Numerology used for interpretation and instruction, herein, is based on that of Mrs. Elaine Lewis, numerologist, instructor and co-director of the former Michigan Metaphysical Society. She had learned her system from a rabbi. Her system is a modern approach, both practical and rational, and related to the Pythagorean model, as well as her own personal studies.

This is an individually prepared analysis and 50 minute (in-person or by telephone) personal overview that breaks down a person's name and birth date into its numerical equivalents and significance. I do not use any computerized Numerological programs in this analysis, since manual preparation facilitates intuitional information that may be provided, during preparation.  The analysis provides an individual with the following information:

I. Significance of first vowel and consonant in the name

II. Analysis of the individual's present active name
  a. Total of vowels and their meaning
  b. Total of consonants and their meaning
  c. Total of vowels and consonants and their meanings

II. Birth Path

III. Inner Aspects

IV. Numerical Grid
  a. Number of vowels and consonants contained in the active name
  b. Significance of lack, or abundance, of vowels and consonants
  c. Comparison to birth name, if name has been changed

V. Pinnacles or high points in life

VI. Challenges are traits which need to be strengthened and may occur at any time during the life cycle

VII. Power Number

IX. Personal Year
