Numbers have been used for over 10,000 years as a concrete structure for measurement. Look back throughout history, to the Greeks, Mayans, Chinese, Egyptians, and Masons; it appears that almost every empire, secret society, nation, and even occupation throughout time has used numbers as a basis to gain a deeper understanding of the universe and world around them. More than that, this ancient science can also be applied to personal characteristics as a mechanism for personal growth. What many don’t know is that some of the most archaic societies used numbers as a way to better connect with themselves. Called Numerology, the practice lies in the belief that a person’s name and birth date have a significant effect on their traits, talents, weaknesses, and emotional behaviors. This is said to be true because everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. When you find the number associated with the vibration rate of a particular human, you can also discover the qualities and energies that make that person who they are.
I’ve always been fascinated by astrology, tarot, and palm readings so when I first heard of this alternative method of spirituality, I was immediately intrigued. I’m certainly no expert in the realm of numerology but my findings were so interesting that I just had to share. When first delving into the new practice, I learned that among the many complicated calculations that it involves, the life path number is the most important. The life path number represents the traits you’ve instinctively had since birth and that you will continue to carry with you throughout your life’s journey. The number is always represented as a single digit, therefore there are nine possible life paths.
