Lesson 2: The General Nature Of Numbers
This lesson discusses the way the numbers exercise their influence, the division of numbers, the numbers of regeneration and mystery, and the natural characteristics of various numbers. The aim of this lesson is to equip you with the proper understanding of general nature, characteristics and behavior of different numbers.
A good command over the topics in this lesson, particularly over the characteristics of numbers, provides you with an added advantage in assessing the inherent characteristics of persons with the help of various numbers that will be discussed in the next lesson. Again, please avail yourself of the multiple choice test at the end of the lesson.
How do the Numbers work?
As already pointed out, advanced numerology is the science of numbers which draw their strengths and weaknesses from the planets, and reflect the same in the lives of the people they affect. Here, two things must be understood clearly:
- Planets transmit their characteristics directly to the numbers, and the numbers in turn influence the people. When we study advanced numerology, we are indirectly studying the influence of planets on human beings. This means that the numbers act at the behest of planets.
- Numbers by themselves are not creative forces. They are a bundle of forces that take commands from the planets in their working on the human beings.
Again, one may question the need for numerology to study human life, when there is already astrology for predicting the events in a person’s life. The answer is very simple. There are several systems of medicine for curing one’s disease and depending on one’s interest/need, the curative system is selected. Similarly, numerology is one of the branches of occult technology and it can be opted for by people who are fascinated by it.
The division of numbers
Numbers are basically divided into three categories:
- Single digit numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
- Double digit numbers, which denote numbers made up of any two single digit numbers like 35, 89, 44 and 99.
- Compound or multi digit numbers. These terms refer to numbers which are made up of three or more single digit numbers like 123, 345 and 674, 6578 and 869432.
The number 0 has no value when viewed separately, but when it is put at the side of a single, double, or compound number, the value of that particular number goes up several times and because of this function, 0 is known as the number of infinite value.
Primary numbers
It must be noted that the single digit numbers are also known as the primary, main, or basic numbers and any double or compound number (beginning from 10 or 100 onwards) respectively is the multiplication of some single numbers only. In fact, when you think of primary numbers separately, all the numbers starting from 2 to 9 are the multiplication of the number 1 only, which is the number of origin and creation ( as it stands first among all the primary numbers). When you think along those lines, the number 9 becomes the number of ending and destruction as it is the last one in the series of the primary numbers.
