1. Introduction
Use Kabbalah numerology to make life-altering decisions. This system has been long esteemed as the most precise and therefore the most elaborate. It elucidates patterns that are said to arise in the cosmos from colored threads that are said to emanate from the supreme being to creation. This method can tell you where you have been in life, where you are, and where you are going. It is invaluable for a person who desires to know where they should be headed next in order to reach a certain goal.
Have you ever wondered why everywhere you look there is the same repeating number? It seems that the time is always 10:10, 11:11, 3:33, 4:44, and many other times. Or you might even notice the same number in the price of something that you are buying, or the date of an event, or the address of a house or business. If you aren’t sure why these numbers are so prevalent to you, here you will learn the importance of numbers and the knowledge you can gain from breaking down simple information into a more complex answer.
There are several methods used to acquire a person’s number, for the purpose of knowledge and knowing a person’s attributes, which can provide information on a person’s personal life, health, career, or spiritual growth. This can be someone’s birth date, the current date, a house address, or the numbers registered in their name. After acquiring their number, you can start to gain a better understanding and acceptance of that person. The knowledge of number meanings can be a very powerful tool and can aid in any situation to help guide a person in the way they can benefit most from. Understanding your number is knowing yourself.
2. Understanding Kabbalah Numerology
The reading of any individual always includes a life path reading. A life path reading interprets an individual’s character and how they will lead their life up to a certain time, specifically in relation to their date of birth. For example, if a person is born on February 23, 1983, they would be known as a life path 7. Even at the age of 25, they would still be the same life path until the age of the next life path, which is 7+9=16. Life path 7 would continue to influence their character until the age of 34. Life path readings are very complex and often result in different combinations for different points in an individual’s life. These readings also provide guidance on the best times to make important decisions in one’s life.
The Kabbalah Tree of Life is comprised of ten spheres (Sephiroth) and represents the entire structure of numerology. It is applicable to not only sacred or spiritual origins but also to different combinations of numbers from 1 to 9. Kabbalah Numerology involves reading an individual based on their date of birth. The numerology reading consists of several combinations, but now is the time to delve into the greater part.
2.1. What is Kabbalah Numerology?
Kabbalah Numerology: Kabbalah Numerology has a system that has been existing for over a thousand years. This system was formed for the Hebrew alphabet with the belief that the Hebrew language is the language of the creation of the universe. In this form of numerology, the practice assumes that our name at birth is the key to unlocking the secrets of our personal nature, on how others perceive us and our mission in life. This form of numerology looks at the allotment of the number of a person’s birth name and relates it to the person’s nature of impulse. This system can be quite complex and time-consuming. I will just explain a simple way of looking at your name which can be quite revealing.
Numerology is the study of numbers with the belief that numbers have mystical significance. This is widely used to assess the inner qualities of an individual and understand the best way for that person to deal with experiences in life. This form of number assessment or number reading is used to determine a person’s attitude, value of life, hurdles being faced, and a suitable remedy for making life better. There are several forms of numerology but this article will focus on “Kabbalah numerology” as this form is probably the purest form in terms of number assessment.
2.2. The Origins of Kabbalah Numerology
Kabbalah has a unique form of numerology in that it only looks at the numbers 1-9. The numbers 1-9 are the foundation of the universe; all other numbers are just repetitions. 10 is 1, 11 is 2, 12 is 3, etc. The entire universe can be explained in numbers and the sequence of numbers. Kabbalistic numerology looks at how numbers affect our reality, the way our lives unfold, our positive and negative traits, our talents, and our karma. It helps us understand the role of each number in our lives and how to change it for the better. Kabbalah numerology was originally developed by Hebrew mystics who based it on the Hebrew alphabet.
The system was developed long before the numerology systems inherited from the Greeks and Arabs. The difference being the Hebrew system shows us what is happening now in our lives and what we can do to change it. The Greek and Arabic systems show only what is going to happen and why. This is because the Greeks and Arabs based their systems on a theory of numbers coming from the physical plane of calculation (addition and subtraction), and the Hebrew system is based on the numerical and vibrational sequence of the letters of the alphabet and its connection to our spiritual reality.
3. The Power of Kabbalah Numerology
People with Life Path number 4 often end up becoming the ‘worker bee’ of the Universe. They are the cornerstones of any enterprise and their hard work and practicality is valued and recognized. With a down to earth approach to life they will do well in careers that will benefit from their organizational skills. Often times they can be a little too rigid in their approach; they can also be quite the perfectionist and have a tendency to look down on others who don’t share the same views. Many 4s learn from an early age that they have muscular bodies, or a somewhat laboring job and this often comes as a karmic lesson to learn how to work hard for things and how to be practical with their earnings.
Example: my birth date is 3/25/1983. 3+2+5+1+9+8+3 = 31. Next, add 3 and 1 together to get your Life Path number = 4. A person can have any one of the following Life Path Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, or 22.
Kabbalah Numerology works with the Life Path number. The Life Path number is the sum of your birth date. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. This number reveals what lessons you will learn, challenges you will face, and opportunities you will receive in the form of a broad outline. The Life Path number is derived from your birth date using the following format.
3.1. Discovering Your Life Path Number
To calculate your life path number, take your birth date, for example: 15 Dec 1983. We add all the numbers of the birth date together and reduce it to a single digit. In this case, 1+5+1+2+1+9+8+3 = 30. Reducing this number gives us 3. So, it is 3 that is this person’s life path number.
A life path number, as derived from Kabbalah numerology, is a single number derived from the birth date. This represents who you are at the time of birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. This number outlines the opportunities and challenges you will face, as well as the personal traits that will assist you in facing these. The life path number is the most significant number in a numerology chart and is derived from the birth date. Typically, it is a number between 1 and 9, with some master numbers (11, 22, and 33) also being considered.
3.2. Uncovering Hidden Talents and Abilities
It is a known fact that people and organizations will seek those with effective talents and strong strengths to achieve a desired result or goal. Often talented individuals are selected over others who are more qualified simply because a person’s strong points are what is most remembered in an interview situation, and that employer has obtained good intuition about the person’s potential effectiveness in the job. By knowing what your strengths are, you can be proactive in seeking the right positions in life.
This is a much better alternative to the often seen reactive approach of taking any old job and going with the flow – a course of action that often leads to people being stuck in jobs that do not effectively use their abilities to a satisfactory level. This leads to a lot of frustration later on, asking the question of why your life is not more rewarding. By effectively using your abilities, you can fulfill the life path indicated by your life path number, and the end result will be greater satisfaction in life.
A talent can be anything from a great speaking voice to an effective way with animals. Talents and strengths are as varied as there are people. By knowing in advance what your areas of strength are, you can find the proper outlets and avenues to bring them to bear. A talent unused is a tragic thing; it benefits no one and tends to fade over time. Sometimes people get to old age and then wish they had done something with their talents in life. Using the information obtained from numerology, you can make sure that this does not happen to you.
Where numerology really proves its worth is in uncovering and providing a blueprint for your talents, your strong points, and your areas of potential greatness in this lifetime. Sometimes we have an innate ability that we were born with but either do not realize it or have to wait late in life to make use of it. By knowing what our inner talents and strengths are, we can make many decisions and choices based on that knowledge, which results in a more focused and rewarding life of using our best abilities to their fullest potential.
3.3. Enhancing Relationships and Compatibility
Our Free Numerology Guide will give you an in-depth analysis of your name in relation to numbers. This will provide you with insights into your character and personality. But the greatest insights will come from a reading and analysis of you and your partner’s combined Free Numerology guide. This is an overview of the numbers that derive from the name analysis for each person.
In Kabbalah, compatibility between people is based on the spiritual connection that exists between them. This connection is determined by comparing the influences, which is described by the numbers that are derived from the names. The numbers that are derived from the name provide an individual with insights into his own character and personality traits. Comparing these numbers using a Kabbalistic method provides us with insights into the compatibility of the two people being analyzed. This is the Kabbalistic method to see if two people are meant to be together.
4. Applying Kabbalah Numerology in Daily Life
There are several people who say that Kabbalah numerology only applies to the marking of the Hebrew text in the scriptures. There are others who apply the numerical values to things like names to get various forms of inspiration or spiritualism. There are also those who use it in a game of chance, taking the numerical values to somehow predict the outcome. They may take the value of a word in Hebrew and then take it to mean whatever thing they are thinking of in their mind. Then, by adding things or changing words, they can then ‘calculate’ the outcome of this attempt. I will not delve into these last two applications of Kabbalah numerology in this article.
Instead, I will focus on numerology in a manner similar to how Pythagoras used it when he developed his system of numerology. Now, many people are familiar with the general basics of numerology, like the addition of numbers on a date of birth to give a single-digit number that describes a personality attribute. But there are various other methods of using numerology to gain insight into life and make lives better. I will go through a few of these methods.
4.1. Using Numerology for Personal Growth
Similarly, the study of the numbers in our name can also provide useful insights. As the name is the key to one’s individuality, it is common that people’s names do not represent who they truly are. Following a study of the attributes of the numbers from 1 – 9, one can make a comparison between the characteristics at present, and the characteristics that one would like to possess. This can then act as a guide to working on the aspects of one’s persona that are incongruent with the desired attributes. With all this in mind, the knowledge of the numbers and their attributes can act as a powerful guiding tool to propel us to the true expression of who we are, and who we wish to be.
In the journey to self-improvement, knowing our own selves is one of the most important aspects. This knowledge extends much deeper than mere knowledge of our likes and dislikes. We can identify with the true essence of our being, and the central motivating factors that are affecting our day-to-day actions and decisions. To gain this deep insight into ourselves, we can use our birth numbers. The birth number is derived from one’s date of birth and represents our real path in this life. It indicates both the goals we are striving to achieve, and the talents we will use to aid us on this journey. By studying the attributes of the number, we gain an understanding of the energy associated with our goals, and the way in which these goals must be pursued for true fulfillment.
As we have seen in Chapter 2, numbers are the key to gaining insight into the inner aspects of anything. Using numerology, we can discover our strengths and weaknesses, our innate skills and the talents we are meant to learn in this life. Armed with this knowledge, we are better able to align our lives in such a way as to allow us to act upon or express the traits we possess, and to minimize or work on the areas of our personality that we seek to improve or alter. Thus, the knowledge of numerology and the attributions of the numbers from 1 – 9 can be a useful tool in guiding us to act upon our true desires, and to work in a way that is most beneficial to who we truly are.
4.2. Harnessing Numerology for Career Success
An analysis that compares a person’s birth name with the name of a business identifies the compatibility between the individual and the place of work. This can be of use for someone investigating a particular company or in determining the kind of work and the environment the person would thrive best in. The birth date number when compared to the incorporation date provides information on the path of the business and if the business would be something beneficial for the employee. A career direction and the way others see you can be determined by analyzing the birth date number to find the Life Theme.
If the birth date number is the same as a person’s Life Theme, it indicates a heightened awareness of oneself through the work. Other analysis using the birth date number will suggest work habits, personal characteristics, how the person misuses their talents, what causes difficulty at the workplace, and several other points on how to increase work satisfaction and success. This type of analysis can be done at any point in a career to evaluate what changes can be made to get more out of the work experience.
Kabbalah numerology can be employed as a practical tool for making a career decision. The analysis can provide valuable clues on one’s best direction, as well as highlighting positive and negative tendencies while predicting periods of time when one could be in a successful phase. People seeking guidance regarding a career change, are re-entering the workforce or have recently completed education would find this type of numerological analysis extremely beneficial.
4.3. Utilizing Numerology for Health and Well-being
Sefer Yetzirah, the most important text of the Kabbalah, is a symbolic description of the creation of the universe which uses a twenty-two-letter alphabet to organize numbers and the cosmos into an understandable format. This same alphabet is used to interpret the consonants in people’s names to assign them a value (using Gematria). The belief is that the universe was created using linguistic and mathematical principles and that these rules can be used to help humans understand the world in which they live and the purpose for their existence.
This is why Kabbalah Numerology is a powerful tool to help us interpret the world around us. It is also why, similar to modern science, believes that understanding human DNA will help us unlock the keys to the universe. The Kabbalists have always believed that understanding the microcosm (in this case the human experience) will help them to unlock the secrets of the macrocosm (the universe).
