THE WISDOM IN NUMBERS

Your name and date of birth carry a unique energy imprint that can provide insights into several life areas- marriage, career, money, health, finances, love and relationships. 

While not all of us are good at crunching numbers, there is something fascinating about them. What is it about certain digits that seem to grab our attention? Or that one number we always pick randomly or simply like or identify with or consider plain lucky?

Is there a special reason why we see a particular number or combination of numbers appearing regularly before us or is a certain digit just casually following us around? Is it a numerical coincidence or mere average generalisation? 

There is a mystique to their repetitive patterns - a method in their randomness, an energy in how they combine and clash, for better or worse. Even in a platonic sense, the explanation exists in a theory of possibilities!  
 

OWNING & CLAIMING YOUR NUMBERS

The idea is to maximise our nature-given unique identification code which like our dna is embedded in us.

Your date of birth has a root number revealing your life purpose -your Life Path number. Like your Sun-sign in Vedic or Western Astrology or Day-Master in Chinese Bazi, it tells you about your propensities - your unique strengths, weaknesses and potentiality. It colours your life experiences and why certain events are more likely to happen in your life. 

Your name on the other hand, has a numerical value that reveals your Destiny number. Each alphabet has a given numerical value which when reduced to a single digit, reaches the root number of the name. This reveals your goals and how you best express yourself. Something like your astrological Ascendant sign.

So now that you have both  your Life Path number & Destiny number, what do they really mean? And how can you best ‘become’ them? By doing a 'number check' -by tallying your individual numbers with your thoughts and unexamined habits to get a better understanding of your popular perceptions and pervasive beliefs. And putting into perspective whether what you have been doing all along is commensurate with what you were originally gifted with in the first place. Each of these numbers is connected to a Zodiac and display the unique characteristics of a given planet. It is your intrinsic nature and who you really are and therefore your path of least resistance. 

 
THE NUMBERS GAME 

Numbers speak a language of their own, says Anshulaa Patthak, considered the best numerologist providing numerology consultation and solution that advocates fully embracing and living your numbers. 

Your number contains your unique signature essence, your personality and special gifts. And gifts need to be opened and used, but first they need to be accepted, she says. 

Often we don't accept with grace what is given to us even if we know it's for our good. We cringe to lovingly own what is ours. We might feel unworthy and undeserving of our gift and never claim it. We put it away and forget about it or bury it at the back of our nagging mind. We live in complete denial or deny we ever knew about it because that would require us to get out of our comfort zone to first claim it and worse still, begin using it. 

Without opening our special gifts, we only live parts of ourselves instead of owning them all and living wholly. 

 
EMBRACING YOUR SPECIAL GIFT NEEDS A MIND SHIFT

Your numbers contain your special gifts; they can be decoded with numerology to uncover your intrinsic blessings-your special abilities, natural talents and propensities given to you by Nature for evolution.

The human mind is wired for survivaland immediately throws up a list of things that can go wrong if we change the existing track to enter the unknown. This fear can very often prevent us from living to our full capacity. Therefore the best place to start with is the mind- a faithful servant but a dangerous master. A controlled mind is a powerful weapon of change.

So, you may have kept your special gift in a dark room of pre-conditioned notions telling yourself this is not you. Maybe you took a sly peek and didn't like what you saw or had no idea what it was. What if you actually did open it but it made no sense to you and there was no instruction manual on how to use it ? So you just went back to your set old ways of using or doing whatever you were comfortable with, which obviously would not challenge you in new ways. There would be nothing new to figure out and learn but then, assumably, you weren't expecting new outcomes on the old trudge road were you? Did you toss it in a corner of regret because you felt powerless against age ? Or are you a seasoned procrastinator waiting for a better time, to open it another day? Maybe it's lying under a pile of misconceptions collecting dust when it could have very well served you. What if unknowingly you've been carrying around the baggage of conventional beliefs aimed at preserving your status quo? Then perhaps you haven’t embraced your numerical signature yet. The longer we take to wake up and accept the real us, the harder life becomes. 

NUMBERS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN

'Arithmancy' may have been offered as an elective course in ‘Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkerban’ to assign numerical value to words to predict the future, but throughout history there have been several references to numbers- in the Bible, in Jewish sources, in Judaism and Old Testament, Greek philosophy, the Vedas and epics. This suggests our ancestors were using their ancient wisdom. 

 
Chinese numerology draws numerous inferences from mystical numerical combinations of yin-yang pairs such as the association between the 12 animal signs, 10 stems, 12 branches, 4 pillars of Destiny, 24 mountains , 64 hexagrams, the 60 pillars and 365 body parts. Traditional medicine is based on 12 vessels circulating blood and air equal to the 12 rivers and 365 body parts-one for each day of the year. Indian and Chaldean systems follow Cheiro’s numerology. 

In each of these systems, the primary inspiration is a set of patterns rather than scientific observation.

Greek philosopher-Mathematician Pythagoras tried to decode the special vibration of numbers by correlating them to integers. If the physical world had energetic vibrations, some of that could be understood through this synergetic association between numbers and coinciding events. 

BEING YOUR BEST NUMBER

However, not all of us are living the best version of our lives. And that is because we’re not living true to our authentic selves- we’re busy trying to become ‘another number’ and dancing to some other tune we don’t even like or resonate. Oftentimes we may have succumbed to debilitating conventional beliefs about ourselves or may have been conditioned to adapt to what is expected of us- both of which drag us down. 

Whether as a casual element or a central motif, you’re bound to find certain hidden numerical patterns in events and circumstances of life.

 
So, are you compatible and congruent with your digit? Do you live true to your mystic integer, decimal and cypher? Or are not ‘living your number’ to the fullest to your highest good?
