Numerology

Numbers are boring, not special, right?

If you were to stop anyone on the street, from the average Joe to the material scientist, they would state that they understand what numbers are. They do indeed have an understanding of numeracy (they're not lying, after all) and if pressed for a specific answer, they might say something along the lines of "numbers are symbols of comparative quantity".

Let's take the dictionary definition of 'number' (noun) meaning: an arithmetical value, expressed by a word, symbol, or figure, representing a particular quantity and used in counting or making calculations.

But, what if the person you stopped on the street was not an average Joe or material scientist?

Well, then they're likely a metaphysical scientist or a numerologist and numbers to them (and possibly you now) assume a much more profound significance. The key difference between a material scientist and a metaphysical scientist is that the material scientist wields their logical left-brain to understand and manipulate the physical realm whereas the metaphysical scientist is occupied by the basic fundamental structure of reality, not solely through the experienced universe but the hidden, intangible reality around us.

My brother, for example, is an engineer firmly rooted in the physical sciences. Other physical science fields include, but are not limited to, the likes of chemistry, earth sciences like geology, geography, mechanics and manufacturing. Metaphysics on the other hand is anything non-physical which impacts the physical universe, such as consciousness and the questioning of existence itself. Both fields, of course, are important. Though I prefer (and I'm sure so do you, if you're reading this) metaphysics as I personally believe the two most important questions for any scientist worth their salt should be:

1. What is the source of everything in the universe? and

2. Where does that source originate from?

Humanity is becoming unified in its agreement on the answer to question one being 'consciousness' and is slowly giving up -- we can only hope, one generation at a time -- on warring and crusading over the answers (all of which were/are wrong, by the way) that we've put forward thus far to question two. And, by we, I mean a select few ancient teachers such as Christ, Buddha, Krishna et al. Though we should be under no illusion that as time's unfolded from their days to ours - we've lost the actual meanings behind their teachings and weaponised the allegories and mythologies that they left behind to progress the agendas and ideologies of religions. So, who knows, maybe their answers were right! Alas, we can't ask them. We can only ask ourselves with our own intuition - ironically, just the way they did. However, we do indeed have an advantage, believe it or not, in this Great era of knowledge and our access to it - as we can look back through history (such as the history of numerology itself) and begin to lay out the inherent meanings in as many fundamentals of our universe as we physically can. By reading this page, you are starting with numbers and their meanings, i.e. numerology.
