The last issue introduced the numerology of names and the effect it has on our lives. It mentioned how a change of a letter could alter your manner of living. In this issue we will explore the method of translating our names into numbers.
The first step is to define which letters belong to which number. There are two traditional alphabet systems, the Jewish, and the Latin. We will use the Latin system as it is the easiest to learn. There are 26 letters in our alphabet: we list the letters and allocate a number to each of them in order using a simple table. We now have the numbers 1 to 9.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z |
I call this the FOX chart as the letters under the number 6 spell "FOX".
For simple numerology we write the numbers below the letters of the name and add them using a method called fadic adding. This achieved by adding all the digits together until a single digit is left. Thus TOBIAS is 262911 => 2+6+2+9+1+1= 21 => 2+1 = 3 so the fadic total of "Tobias" is 3. We now consult our list of meanings to find out what a "3" means.
But is it really that simple? What about all that complicated stuff in the last issue with John Edward, Doreen Virtue, and Uri Geller? For most people, finding out that they are a "3" or "6" is enough. Others want to know "Why? What makes you a 3? Am I the same as every other 3 in the world?" And the answer is of course, no, we are not all the same. We can break up the letters into smaller and more defining relationships.
We can use a grid to set out our Names and separate the Vowels form the Consonants as these have differing effects on us.
V - 6 9 1 = 7 = Teacher, challenger, critic, wise, knowledgeable N - T O B I A S = 3 = Communicator, childlike, fun, creative C - 2 2 1 = 5 = Fighter, freedom oriented, imaginative, changes |
Now we have a more complex definition of the name. The Vowel number V defines how we are perceived by others before we are truly known by them, our "first impression persona." The Consonant number C defines how we are perceived by others after physically associating for a short time, our "acquaintance persona." Our Name number N defines how we are accepted socially, our "social persona."
Note that we have used only my first name. A first name, or personal name, V1, C1,and N1, defines who we are; a surname, or family name, V2, C2, and N2, defines what we inherit from our family, marriage, or personal preference name. The names are worked in the same manner, and are added together to get the total names, VT, CT, and NT, which define how we are treated by others, our "social identity".
V1 - 6 9 1 = 7 = Teacher, challenger, critic, wise, knowledgeable N1 - T O B I A S = 3 = Communicator, childlike, fun, creative C1 - 2 2 1 = 5 = Fighter, freedom oriented, imaginative, changes |
V2 - 1 5 = 6 = Worker, harmonious, methodical, duty oriented N2 - W A R E = 2 = Sharer, emotive, team-player, team leader C2 - 5 9 = 5 = Fighter, freedom oriented, imaginative, changes |
VT = V1 + V2 = 7 + 6 = 4 = Originator, solid, reliable, dependable NT = N1 + N2 = 3 + 2 = 5 = Fighter, freedom oriented, imaginative, changes CT = C1 + C2 = 5 + 5 = 1 = Pioneer, lead, boss, control, inventor |
I am sure you will agree that this is a more comprehensive system for describing a personality than the simple "add them all together" method. You can define a person by first name only or their by complete name, you can see what the family expectations or pressure to conform might be by looking at the surname. You can see how a person can reveal those traits that may have been hidden for a long time.
Numerology of the name can help you identify beneficial prospective employees and employers, using their names and the names of their businesses. However, it must be stated that you would need to consult a persons Date Of Birth Numerology to get a realistic picture of them, as a name can be changed, but the Date Of Birth remains static.
Many practitioners will stop here as there is enough information to work with, but there are further definitions to explore and other names to define, as well as working on dates. We will take a further look at names in the next issue, recapping on how and why you can change a name to add or remove a personality trait.
