Primary Numbers

If you recall from earlier, while there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, each is assigned a number from 1 to 9 via Pythagorean numerology.

Based on this letter-to-number correspondence, your name has many applications in numerology.Your birth name has a significant impact on who you are as a person. Using numerology, you can discover hidden abilities and talents. You can also gain insight to your innermost desires and how others perceive you.

Using numerology to analyze your birth name helps give you a better understanding of yourself and your abilities, including how you typically act in an emergency and what traits make you most successful.

The following are numerology values you can find using your birth name:

  1. Destiny Number: Sometimes called the Name Number, the Destiny Number is derived from adding the letter values in your birth name. It indicates what talents and aptitudes you were born with, what you are destined to do in your life, and how you can best utilize your talents and interests to be successful (see Chapter 3).
  2. Soul Number: Also called the Heart Number or Birth Force Number, the Soul Number is calculated from the vowels in your name. This number helps you discover the real, inner you, including your values, hopes, wishes, dreams, and innermost desires as well as your thoughts, feelings, and attitudes toward life and love (see Chapter 4).
  3. Personality Number: This number is calculated using the consonants in your name and tells you about the outer you, or what you project to those around you. The Personality Number doesn’t always convey the real you—only the impression you make on others (see Chapter 5).
    1. Destiny # - Soul # = Personality #
  4. Intensification Numbers: An above-average amount of certain letters and their corre-sponding values in your name are how you find your Intensification Numbers. They can tell you more about your personality, such as whether you’re extravagant or have great self-discipline (see Chapter 7).
  5. Karma Numbers: Any letters you’re missing in your full birth name and its correspond-ing number value indicate your Karma Numbers. These numbers tell you the skills and attributes you may need to cultivate to help you better handle situations in your lifetime (see Chapter 7).
  6. Subconscious Response Number: To get this number, you determine how many Karma Numbers you have and subtract that from 9. This number reveals how you instinctively act in an emergency—in other words, whether you’re apt to panic or remain calm (see Chapter 7).
  7. Point of Security Number: This number is derived from adding the amount of letters in your full birth name. The Point of Security Number indicates what you have within you to be successful both personally and professionally, no matter what obstacles come up in your life (see Chapter 7).
  8. Hidden Essence and Essence Numbers: These are calculated by adding the numeric values of the letters in your first, middle, and last names and progressing them on a chart. Your Hidden Essence and Essence Numbers represent conditions and circum-stances you may experience at any given age of your life (see Chapter 8).

Hidden Cross

Fill in the cross by writing the NUMBERS of your birth date in their corresponding square. So for June 1st, you'd put a 6 in the 6 square, and a 1 in the 1 square.

Hidden Cross Meanings

Pinnacles & Challenges

Pinnacles & Challenges Age Windows

To calculate the ages, you subtract your life path number from 36, so the first window (for me) is 36-4 which is 32, meaning my first window is 0yrs-32yrs, then you add +9 all the way up. Second window is 32-41, third is 41-50, and fourth is 50+

Calculation of Pinnacle & Challenge Numbers

Pinnacle / Challenge Number 1

Pinnacle #1

To find your first Pinnacle Number, add the single-digit version of your birth month and the single-digit version of your birth day and reduce, if necessary. Write the value in the “1st Pinnacle” box on the far-left line

Challenge #1

To find your first Challenge Number, you SUBTRACT your birth day and birth month (in whichever order results in a POSITIVE NUMBER)

Pythagoras' Tetractys

The Tetractys is one of the most interesting ideas in Pythagorean Number Theory, this also forms the basis for the Tarot of the Bohemians. The idea is that each layer represents one letter of the sacred name of God: YHVH

Row 1 - 0 Dimension - Point

Zero-Dimensions, a single point, or numerical value 1, no reduction possible.

Row 2 - 1 Dimension - Line

One-Dimension, a line, the number 2, which has no reduction and the value of the Theosophical Addition is 3

$$ 2=2+1=3 $$

Row 3 - 2 Dimension - Plane

Two-Dimension, a plane with an X-axis and Y-axis, the number 3 with no reduction and the value of Theosophical Addition is 6

$$ 3=3+2+1=6 $$

Row 4 - 3 Dimension - Cube / Volumetric

Three-Dimensional manifestation, a pyramid or cube, the Theosophical Addition & Reduction returns back to the source of all numbers, the number 1

$$ 4=4+3+2+1=10=1+0=1 $$

The Final Row Representing Regeneration

The beauty comes when you realize that for every set of three consecutive numbers, the fourth acts as the start of a new set, as described in Tarot of the Bohemians:

  1. Represents the Active, or Masculine
  2. Represents the Passive, or Feminine
  3. Represents the Neuter, or unity of 1 & 2
  4. Represents the Active Regeneration, returns to the number 1
    1. As do: 7, 10, 13, 16, 19......

This represents the divine manifestation, as does the Tetractys and then the sacred name: YHVH

  1. Active => Yod ( י )
  2. Passive => 1st He ( ה )
  3. Neuter => Vau ( ו )
  4. Active Regeneration => 2nd He ( ה )

The Divine Code

Thus, quite literally, all numbers can be though of as an endless manifestation of YHVH.
