Do you often notice that the same numbers repeatedly appear on your digital clock? Have you ever wondered why there just happens to be three fours in your telephone number? Has the same number shown up throughout your life so often you’ve adopted it as your lucky number? Are you one of the many who have diminished these repeating number patterns as sheer coincidence, or do you believe there is something more to these quirky occurrences?

For most of us, numbers are black and white symbols that we were taught to add, subtract, multiply and, divide. Numbers represent so much more than just mathematics. In fact, the numbers in your date of birth contain the image of your inner self and your life path—just as a seed contains an image of the plant it will grow into. Through learning the science of numbers, you’ll start to take note of the reoccurring patterns in your life and understand the meaning behind them. Imagine being able to predict the future and make informed choices instead of stumbling around in the dark, playing the guessing game. Numerology is not a mystical or magical art as many believe, it is pure science. Pythagoras believed the world was one big mathematical equation, and in my opinion, he was right! Numbers, like all things, are energetic patterns. In metaphysics this is a fact, but science is now discovering what the metaphysical community has known for millennia—everything is made of energy. Quantum physicists say the atom is not matter, but frozen light particles that appear to be solid matter. Based on this new theory, by the scientific definition, what we think of as matter does not exist.

The late Noble Peace Prize winning physicist, David Bohm wrote in his book, “Wholeness and the Implicate Order”1 that the universe is a sea of energy, and he saw the fundamental activity of nature as light. To Bohm, matter is not solid but rather condensed light. In other words, atoms, which are the basis of all matter, are comprised of frozen or slowed down light particles.

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher and was considered the father of the science of numbers. Pythagoras believed that everything in the universe could be represented by numbers. His belief was founded in the fact that all energy follows patterns (until interrupted), and because numbers are energetic patterns too, we can use the numbers as a window into the world of energy.

Most of the information and knowledge of Pythagoras about his work with numbers and his life was documented centuries after his death; therefore, the accuracy of his work and theories has been questioned by skeptics. One piece that was known to be true about Pythagoras is that he had a Mystery School where he taught his students that nothing could exist without numbers. He believed that mathematics formed the basis of all things in existence and that numbers were the essence of creation.

So astonishing were Pythagoras’ findings that he swore his students to secrecy. e Pythagorean Society took an active part in politics which, unfortunately, led to the demise of the Mystery School and its following as the government did not approve of such a secret order2. e school and meeting places were burned along with much of the knowledge and information contained within them. e information that did survive was put together by followers and students of his work which is now the basis of modern Pythagorean Numerology.
