Luck and Numerology

Try to imagine a single moment in your life that doesn’t involve numbers and you’ll find it’s impossible! There they are, all around you, governing your life, controlling your time. From early childhood, you learn to memorise numbers that represent personal landmarks, with your date of birth regarded as the first and most important of these.

Then come other numbers: street

numbers, amounts of money, national insurance numbers, car registration numbers, telephone numbers. The list continues to grow without you realising that all these numbers transmit lucky and unlucky vibrations.

It is when you are filling in a lottery ticket or picking a winning racehorse that you try to go beyond the simple numerical value of numbers. Which are the numbers that, in a few hours, will make you a lucky winner? What date should you choose to get married, form a company, hold an important meeting? These are difficult choices to make and, in making them, you would like to “stack the odds in your favour”.

 Sometimes you feel intuitively that certain numbers have a particular value and that there should be some sort of method to help you choose the best numbers, for example those guaranteed to make you a lucky winner. And you are right because, since the dawn of time, numbers have been charged with vibrations and linked to a rich and complex symbolism which in turn links them more or less directly to what are known as archetypes or collective consciousness. And it is the particular vibrations attached to each number that can “influence” events, provided of course they are used correctly. To do this, we must refer to ancient sources – the Cabala (the ancient Jewish mystical tradition), the works of Plato and Pythagoras, the Bible and the I-Ching, to name but a few – which demonstrate that the interpretation of numbers forms the basis of all knowledge.

According to Pythagoras, a sage and teacher of the 6th century BC: “the whole universe is number”. But for a long time, Numerology (the science of numbers) remained secret, reserved exclusively for an initiated minority of priests, philosophers, freemasons and Templars. Then, gradually, this secret science became accessible to all those willing to take the trouble to study the esoteric works on numerology.

Pappos of Alexandria (a Greek mathematician of the late 3rd century) played a major role in the dissemination of this esoteric science whose earliest known elements date from the Sumerian civilisation (4th millennium BC). Today, numerology is becoming increasingly widely used to gain greater insight into and understanding of people’s characters, their potential and their future.

Although it is particularly widely used in the USA, some countries – for example, France, the home of Cartesian philosophy – are still rather reticent when it comes to analysing the symbolism of numbers. However, numerology is gradually gaining wider acceptance as it becomes increasingly established in the field of psychology. And not a month goes by without a Cabalist (a student of the Cabala publishing a book on numbers, their symbolism and deeper significance, especially in relation to religious texts and the Bible in particular.
