Thoughts on Numerology
In examining the forms of religion, divination, and alternative thinking, the next step from astrology is probably best in the direction of numerology. However, when it comes to numerology, things aren’t quite the ‘school of study’ Western and Eastern astrology are.
There are many types of numerology. Some focus on the letters of your name corresponding with the numbers one through nine. Others focus on your birth date and/or time. Both types, for the most part, focus on the numbers one through nine and the corresponding personality traits of those numbers. You usually find out which number/s you are by adding things up repeatedly until you get a single digit number.
When it comes to numerology based off letters in your name and whatnot, I don’t look at it as much more than entertainment. I have a hard time thinking that a name chosen by your parent(s) or others could tell you so much about your life.
On the other hand, numerology that has more to do with your birth date and time is, to me, more in accordance with an astrological side of things. Thus it’s easier for me to be inclined towards listening/reading to what that type of numerology has to offer.
That’s not to say, though, that I don’t believe in the power of numbers. I do. Many ancient cultures also believed in and relied on the power of numbers. There is also a natural human inclination toward the number three and its multiples. And one needs to mention all the numeric symbolism that can be found in the sacred texts of many religions.
However, there is so much involved in numerology and all the types of numerology that I feel, for now, I must pass over the subject having only offered my thoughts on it. At a future time when I have been able to study and learn more, I will touch back on the subject.
