If you are skeptical about numerology and other celestial sciences, read this

You do not need to believe in numerology to benefit from the
knowledge.  The interpretation of the numbers is founded upon the
natural laws and the structure of the universe. The principles
work outside of your belief system.


I have recently become aware of a research study into the idea
that gravity does not exist. The explanation is much more detailed than is necessary for this article, but the thesis is that the traditional concept of gravity as we understand it is not the true explanation.


All I need to know is that when I am holding an object and I let go of it, that object is going to fall to the ground. There are of course, kinesiologists who would argue that with the force of mind and will we could cause that object to rise instead of to fall.




Notwithstanding the possible exception of an outside mind force working upon the object, that object is going to fall no matter how much I (or anyone else) tries to debunk the law of gravity.



Numerology, along with the other metaphysical sciences, is soundly based upon the natural order of the universe. Your belief is not required. The universe goes about its business totally ignoring what we think of it. As a result, we are left with two choices. We can consciously ignore the cycles or we can make a determined study to understand them.


Ignoring these natural cycles leaves us in the position of being constantly surprised and unprepared for what happens. Learning the cycles gives us the ability to plan for coming events.



I dare say that even the most skeptical person has a calendar and a clock. Each of these devices measures a natural cycle. The calendar tells us the season. When it is winter, we expect cold weather and dress accordingly. Without a knowledge of the seasons we could arise each morning and try to predict how to dress. Or you might plan a skiing trip in July "believing" that there will be appropriate snow. Some events are planned far in advance.


With the calendar, we can know that furs and velvets for a June wedding in the northern hemisphere would be inappropriate. Without the knowledge of the seasons, planning a June wedding during a cold January, we might assume that in June we would still need to be concerned about proper heating and warm clothing. Our own experience tells us that the calendar is a reliable guide for planning.




With the clock we can plan for the light or darkness of the hour. If it is 2:00 PM (1400 hours) we can calculate how long the light will hold for whatever project is in the works. We can be better assured that we will be at the right place at the
right time with a clock.

Relying solely upon intuition to know the time, you may coordinate with someone else or you may be hours apart for your planned meeting. We regulate our lives by the calendar and the clock.



Numerology deals primarily with additional cycles that surround us. Just like the seasons and the hours, these cycles are set.  We can be assured that the general nature of the times will be as expected from the numbers. Those who dismiss numerology because an occasional day does not seem to fit them are like those who would throw away the calendar because a particular day in January was unseasonably warm.  The broad trends are always reliable.



A numerology delineation will tell you how you fit into the
scheme of the universe. With numerology, your designated life purpose and the tools that you possess to fulfill that purpose are clearly defined. The major roadblocks and the knowledge to overcome them are also clear. In your planning you may determine to really get down to business and to avoid procrastination for the coming year. Is that a good plan? Not if you are entering a 2 personal year.


Or you may decide to take a year off to lay back and go with the flow. Not a good plan for an 8 year. Take your sabbatical in the 2 year and really push in the 8 year. The reverse is like wearing a heavy coat in the summer and going shirtless in the winter.  You already follow the numbers, whether or not you know it.  Intuitively you know the path from your past experience.  Doesn't it make sense to know where you are on that path?

I study numerology a little I am by no means advanced enough to do professional readings, but one day I might. I KNOW this stuff is real! I have seen how it works. please if you could study my chart for me and help me find some insight into myself I would really apretiate it. Thank you so much. I just found this site and I think it is really great!

I'm honestly surprised at my aversion to Numerology.  I'm by no means a skeptic about anything, nor am I what you'd call a "realist" today.  I consider myself a spiritual person.  I've just never given Numerology any credit.  In the same way I don't think merely knowing the vague part of the year in which I'm born can't determine my future (I actually think Astrology is an early attempt at biorhythms), I just don't see how my phone number can determine how successful I am.  Even though I believe in a lot of things, I guess I'll just never see the benefits of Numerology.  Such is life, I guess.  Just as people are born with a taste for cocopops for breakfast, I guess I just don't have a taste for Numerology.

[Mourningstar]

lol I guess if you dont have the taste you will never get the bug and you will never study it, therefore you will never know weather it is something to put any credit into or not!  I believe that it takes all kinds my friend and Im sure that whatever you do you are probably as passionate to know about it as any one ever is to know anything. But Im curiouse..... Are you seeking proof in som e way or are you just here to bash cuz if you wanna know I could show you a little bit of what I can do.  you might be surprised yuh never know.

[NoobixCube]

I wouldn't say "bash" per se.  I'm just stating that I've never really seen any significance to numerology.  If you're offering, I'll take a reading though.  Maybe it will change my mind :P

[swetha]

i feel be it astrology, numerology, graphology , palmistry..etc have their own significance. belief may be another thing.thats what is called skepticism. like before i started this forum, tarot, psychic etc seemed out of this world and did not exist!! now i talk to people on the board..i have understood what they mean.. in fact i am even making an attempt to learn tarot reading:))
i guess ultimately its all what u feel is right or wrong.

Numerology seems a bit iffy to me.
A bit of wishful thinking with a bit of self-fulfilled prophecy thrown in. If you "predict" a future, and you believe it to be imminent, you will create and influence events to bring about its realisation. As oppsed to having "insight" into a destiny or predeterimined fate.[/quote]
