Do you look for repeating numbers in your life and think that they're telling you something? It is not difficult to consider that numbers have meanings for many of us. We believe in lucky numbers, evil numbers, numbers that evoke a feeling.
What we don't really think about often is that our whole civilization, and civilizations past, are build on numbers. The meaning of numbers can go from something as mundane as keeping your bank accounts together to what numerology believes - that numbers have an impact on our character and our destinies.
Different numerological systems see numbers in different ways. Various cultures and religions have different systems to ascribe meaning to numbers, such as Chinese numerology or Indian numerology. Religious books also associate meaning to numbers, such as the prevalence of numbers in the Christian Old Testament.
There is a system that associates numbers with a personality type and you arrive at your personality number by answering some form of questionnaire. Some systems connect numbers with planets with each number exhibiting the characteristics usually associated with that planet. Others believe that each person vibrates to a certain number, derived from that person's birthday or name.
Blair Gorman's website numerologist.com approaches numbers from this last perspective. The meaning of numbers in your life is arrived at by computing your birthday and the combination of letters in your name.
Different combinations point to different elements within a person's numerological profile. For instance, adding the numbers of your birthday comes up with your "Life Plan". Your Life Plan number is then analyzed according to its meaning. For instance, my "Life Plan" number is 2. Part of the meaning of the number 2 is that I am "all about peace, harmony and finding balance in everything."
Another example is the meaning of numbers derived from your name such as in the "Expression" number like in this site http://www.numerologist.com/articles/numerology/meaning-of-numbers/. Your expression number points to your talents and untapped abilities. For example, a number "6" Expression number would mean that you have the potential to be a doctor, healer or counselor.
It's interesting what you can come up with through numerology. Through it, you will never look at numbers the same way again. Numbers do have meaning. You can use their meanings to get to know yourself more, to develop your highest potential, to discover your life path, or even to make important decisions.
Remember, however, that you remain in control of your destiny. Numbers should not control you. Instead, they can be a helpful too in your path to maturity and wholeness.
