Numerology is a language that allows you to expand the horizons of your spiritual awareness. It opens doors in your psyche that you may not have known existed.
This is true of all language. Before there were words, there were only the most simple and basic thoughts, most of which were confined to survival. But with language came more complex relationships, more possibilities and vastly more creativity.
Take the word relativity. This word means that there is something other than absolute values in the universe. The word also means that what is true for you may not be true for someone else. Before Albert Einstein introduced his concept of relativity, the world was guided by a belief in absolutes -- that things were as they seemed to be, not only for you, but for everyone. But wit the emergence of the term relativity, and the far-reaching concepts that Einstein attached to it, humanity was now awakened to new ideas, possibilities, and relationships that shaped our view of life. Our spiritual horizon had been expanded by the introduction of a word that symbolized a large and complex meaning.
That same kind of expansion occurs when one is introduced to the language of numbers. Suddenly, the universe seems far greater and more complex, yet easier to grasp. Now you can think about things that previously were impossible to consider.
Symbols reveal relationships. They are the images that define the arrangement of multiple, often abstract, ideas. Symbols show us how important characteristics are related to each other. They reveal how things are related by their very nature.
For instance, let's consider a set of characteristics that may be within you. If we try to consider one particular talent or trait, we get no picture whatsoever. Let's say that trait is will. This abstract idea exists like a cloud in the sky, seeming separated from other clouds. But now introduce the symbol 1. It serves as an organizing principle for our minds, which attracts certain qualities that naturally belong together, and are related to each other, as if they were family members. The number 1 symbolizes will, as well as beginning, courage, determination, originality, independence, and individuality.
Why are these characteristics united? Because human life has taught us that the beginning of anything is naturally associated with other characteristics, such as resistance--bringing forth the need for will, determination, courage, originality, creativity, independence, and individuality. The 1, or beginning, now opens us up to relationships that are inherent in life--relationships that were in act always there, but existed in the abstract, and hence appeared separate. Their natural relationship perhaps existed outside of our grasp.
In the end, it's impossible to talk about patterns in life without symbols. Symbols serve to draw upon themselves the vast amount of knowledge that exists in the archetypal world. Archetypes are unique bundles of information, stored in the psyche until we have the means to attract their wealth into our lives. They convey knowledge of things that we previously did not know, or were not conscious of.
The beauty of the use of numbers and human characteristics is that they are naturally and inherently joined. There is nothing arbitrary about joining the number 1 with originality or inventiveness, because 1, no matter what language the number is used in, means the beginning, the origin, the first, the birth.
Because we have these symbols, we have the clarity to ask deep and probing questions about life. For example, were these symbols arbitrarily assigned to specific meanings, or is there an organic pattern behind the numbers and their meanings? Are numbers a reflection of a greater truth that exists beneath the surface of life?
The book, Numerology: The Key to Your Inner Self, attempts to answer that question. It will not only serve as a tool for understanding numbers, but it will also help you to better understand you life. However, it's essential to recognize that no tool--no matter how powerful and sophisticated--can approach the vastness of the universe and life itself. Numerology is a springboard to larger realities. But the universe itself is infinite. Numerology opens a window to the vastness of creation. That vastness exists within you. No matter what your numbers may say about you or others, all of us are a part of the infinite universe, and thus way beyond the limits that any tool can convey.
