Man lives in a world filled with symbols, signs, emblems. They accompany us throughout life. The history of many characters has more than one millennium. Almost all spheres of human activity operate with one or another system of symbols and signs. Religion, mysticism and esotericism cannot do without them, creating a whole paradigm of sacred signs.
Numerology
The doctrine of numbers is one of the oldest sciences. Pythagoras is considered the founder of numerology. Studying the properties of numbers, he developed numerology as the science of predictions. Initially, it did not stand out in an independent field of knowledge, but, like many other sciences, it was a branch of philosophy. Pythagoras and his followers believed in the sacred meaning of numbers. It was assumed that numbers have a tremendous impact on human fate.
In the modern world, numerology is considered the field of esotericism and belongs to the so-called pseudosciences along with astrology, alchemy and palmistry. However, no matter how you feel about mysticism in general and numerology in particular, over the centuries of its existence, it has firmly entered our lives, becoming a part of the cultural code. So, for example, in Russia the number of flowers in a bouquet should be odd if it is intended as a gift to a living person.
Different approaches
The teachings of Pythagoras formed the basis of the Western school of numerology. In the framework of this approach, all numbers are reduced to single-valued. Each unique sacred number has its own meaning. The most common attributes of this school are the Pythagorean square, which determines the character of a person, and a birth map that gives an idea of human fate.
In Kabbalah, the numerology developed by Pythagoras was expanded and called Gematria. The Kabbalistic school has developed a detailed forecasting system, predicting events by day, week, month or year. To get an idea of the life cycles and the features of their course, magic squares are used.
The Chaldean school uses numerology to identify the desires of a person, as well as his talents. The analysis is based on first name, middle name and last name.
The occult school extends the influence of numbers not only on the individual human destiny, but also on countries and humanity as a whole.
Chinese numerology allows you to gain knowledge about the characteristics of the human soul, its abilities, intelligence and vocation. Since there is an idea of reincarnation within the framework of this school, numbers are also used to study past lives. The main category of analysis in Chinese numerology is the element. In addition, this school is engaged in the creation of amulets and talismans.
There is astronumerology that focuses on the study of human karma.
The Vedic school of numerology describes all the cycles of human life, it also allows you to describe in detail the character of a person and the qualities that shape him.
Number values
Each sacred number (from 0 to 9) in numerology is assigned a certain value:
- zero is everything and nothing, emptiness and universality, it contains everything that exists in itself;
- unit (monad) is the basis of all numbers and life itself, symbolizes unity, creativity, is considered the number of God;
- deuce (binary) is duality, a reflection of the duality of the world, a symbol of balance;
- three (triad) - an inseparable trinity, symbolizes the body, spirit and mind;
- four (tetrad) - this is the ideality of the universe, the number of elements, symbolizes harmonious proportion, completeness, perfection;
- five (pentad) - this is dynamics, development, symbolizes a perfect person, is the number of love and marriage;
- six (sextad) - this is perfection, divine symmetry and cosmic balance, symbolizes the union of male and female;
- the seven (heptade) is the truth, center, number of the Universe, symbolizes the ascent to the highest, completeness, is considered a lucky number;
- figure eight (ogdoada) - this is infinity, cyclical, continuous movement, symbolizes two worlds (material and spiritual), is the number of happiness and rebirth;
- nine (ennead) - this is omnipotence, strength, complete perfection, limit, is the number of circles and symbolizes the understanding of truth.
Date of Birth
Many schools of numerology consider the date of birth a fundamental sacred number that has the greatest influence on the fate of a person. The calculation method is extremely simple: you need to write the date of birth in numbers, and then add all the numbers sequentially until you get a single-digit number. For example, for a person who was born on November 11, 1911, the calculation will look like this: 11/11/1911, this is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 1 = 16 = 1 + 6 = 7.
Name Number
The sacred number can also be calculated by name. With this kind of calculation, both the first name, last name and middle name can be used in full, or separately the first or last name. In addition, it is recommended to use the version of the name that is used most often in life.
The technique is based on the translation of letters into numbers:
- 1 is A, I, C, b;
- 2 is B, Y, T, S;
- 3 is B, K, U, B;
- 4 - this is G, L, F, E;
- 5 is D, M, X, Yu;
- 6 is E, N, C, I;
- 7 is E, O, H;
- 8 is F, P, W;
- 9 - this is , , .
Calculations are made until a single digit is obtained. Thus, for Ivan, the sequence will be as follows: 1 + 3 + 1 + 6 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1.
Duplicate numbers
Symbolic numbers are often found in literature, cinema and other works of art. In everyday life, we also often notice that we are constantly faced with the same numbers. In numerology, it is generally accepted that these are signs from above, from the Universe, spirits or guardian angels. Such messages are designed to help a person on his life path, give a kind of hint, guide or protect from danger. There is even the concept of angelic numerology, according to which angels use numbers to communicate with people.
The most common way to receive such peculiar messages is the coincidence of numbers on the dial of electronic watches.
