Quote:That's an interesting one Bets, and something not to be ruled out at all. Maybe you will go on to develop a science of 'nomenclature'.
As you say reality seems to hang together in an almost infinite number of levels and ways - the holographic model that Alysia and others often refer to.
This is perhaps the bit popular perception misses so often. We find something physical like genetics, or evolution that allows us to predict and manipulate certain things, but ego and predisposition drive the urge to position 'our system' as being the 'only' basis by which things happen. Our whole system of physical science based on linear 'logic' and third party 'independent' observation for example.
I don't know much about numerology, but the book that made me certain there is something to it was 'The Life You Were Born to Live' by Dan Millman.
He sets out a system somebody else gave to him that uses birth dates to predict our personality attributes, and hence the life lessons and life path we face.
As he says himself it's unclear how the manipulation of a birth date from something so seemingly arbitrary as the Gregorian calendar could ever provide insight into anything. But I've been blown away at how effective it is at profiling the major characteristics not only of myself, but also of the people I know. (it's actually a very useful tool for self enquiry)
There is of course the likelihood that it's all a matter of mind - that what we're doing when using a tool like this is extracting just one perception from the hologram from among the infinite possibilities - the one that somehow fits with our perceptions of the person.
This it's said for example is the way we create the perception of the dream that is the entire reality within which we exist, and how we relate to it - it's arguably only the one we've got hung up on drawn from an infinity of possibilities...
Yup, and its the same with astrology or any other kind of divination tool. These are just indications of the Quantum field of probabilities, tendencies, of past choices and the causes that result from same.
None of them though, ever read the possibilities of freewill unless it happens to correspond already to the probability factors. For example, a spiritually oriented person will tend to choose spiritually and will tend to overcome challenges.
For me though, i've found that astrology and numerology to be the most clear and easily deciphered symbols of divination to use, especially when taken in a combo.
Numerology is an interesting subject, and the first time i broke down my birth data and name into numerology factors, I was surprised by the many repeating patterns of specific numbers.
3's and 9's especially, and to a lesser degree 8's and 7's, repeat a lot--so much so that it was kind of freaky at first.
Unfortunately, too many folks out there seem to believe that astrology, or numerology somehow actually "cause" stuff, when its only that they only ever indicate the probable flows and patterns. They are as maps, and not the terrain itself.
