The truth is, life would be a whole lot simpler, better and calmer if we had a way of being told why certain things were happening to us, and what to expect next.

And the truth is, we did have such systems a long time ago. And these systems were scientific and respectable. That was before the church discredited them during the Dark Ages. The Council of Nicea got together and made massive edits to many of the then available bodies of knowledge, destroyed others and declared a large segment of knowledge as heretic. In fact, anything that empowered the individual and removed the Councils central control was destroyed and declared heretic. Even science had to be authorized and accepted by the church before it could be released to the public.

Fortunately, it was impossible for the Council to destroy everything and we still do have the science to explain our present and predict out future. And even more fortunately, people are dropping their old fears of using these mathematical sciences, imposed on them over the centuries ever since that council.

One such science is numerology. Numerology simply arises from the fact that everything in the universe is a set of mathematical relationships (which actually represent underlying energy relationships) that are run by divine law that is accurate and perfect always. And all things are related, as the universe is all one. Therefore, if you know one side of the relationship, you can compute the other.

Or look at it this way: thoughts are wavelengths, just like sounds. When you speak out a thought, you create its appropriate sound. Letters are symbols for particular sounds. Each sound creates a particular form (as can be proven with instruments such as an eidophone). Even these forms vibrate. All these vibrations are in harmony for a particular thought, its word _expression and its resultant form. The vibrations are precise multiples of each other.

(Did you know that human DNA vibrates at 52 - 78 gigahertz?)
To know the vibration essence, you look to the relationships between numbers and things around you (this is what numerology is all about). Once you have the essence, you can make many other relational inferences.

Numerology uses various formulas to calculate these mathematical relationships, and then uses the result to look at the essence common to all such things. The numbers in numerology don't cause things to happen nor do they predict what will happen exactly. You always have choice in the matter. The numerology and energy analysis simply gives you an accurate indication of the energies available to you in certain periods and areas of your life (and their powers or positive vibrations and challenges or negative vibrations).

When you use the energies available, you will be 'in the flow' (the word 'prosperous' has its linguistic roots from the phrase 'to be in the flow'). When you are in the flow, you learn less through struggle and pain since struggle and pain only indicate an error in thinking, being out of flow with your universe.

There are two ways of progress. The hard way is to learn unconsciously through struggle and pain, going through illusions. The easier way is to learn consciously by deciding to be willing to learn the Truth, to spend time doing so, and to live that way. When you learn consciously, you make less errors in thinking, and you suffer a whole lot less. The Truth does set you free.

The science of numerology is extremely old. It most likely existed in civilizations that we no longer have records of. From the history that we have, we find evidence of it in the Kabbalah, biblical writings, various ancient texts, and the Hebrew alphabet. It was suppressed during the Dark Ages by the popes, as were most other self-empowerment tools, but it is now gaining awareness and tremendous popularity again.

The person who is most considered as the father of numerology to the modern world is Pythagoras (582-507 B.C.), the Greek mathematician and mystic who gave us the Pythagorean theorem we all had to learn in math class when doing triangles. Pythagoras did most of his studies in the temple of Melchizedek, which is the same temple Jesus studied in 600 years later (under the Essenes sect which also went by these ancient teachings).

Numerology allows you to know the who, what, where, when, and why about yourself. Another thing that numerology shows you is your seasons. As you know, everything in nature has its own cycle. Each mineral, plant and animal start its growth in certain seasons particular to it, matures in its own season, harvests in yet another certain season, and completes in a certain season. You, too, have your own 'seasons', although you may have lived your life as if you did not.

What happens when you plant seeds in a field in the wrong season? You get poor crop. You get crop, but poor crop. The same thing happens when you are doing something when the time is not right in your life. There is a time for everything. A time to birth and a time to release, a time to sow and a time to reap, a time to laugh and a time to cry, a time to play and a time to rest.

Learn your natural seasons, live along them, and things will be a lot easier and successful for you. When it is time for you to develop certain characteristics and overcome certain challenges, focus on that. Understand that the material world is merely an effect of your internal world. Your money, health and relationship situations simply reflect the condition of the various energies that are moving within you at the time. Therefore, see what these energies are in the charts that you will get, work on them and you will see that your external world will become successful.

The accuracy and potential of numerology are far too many and wide to go into detail in a short article. The bottom line is, though, that failing to plan is planning to fail. Numerology is one highly accurate and effective planning and analysis tool that we can use for all-round success in all areas of our lives. Numerology is, as Sherlock Holmes would say, "elementary, my dear Watson".
